Alpha House / Bando (A COLORS SHOW)

[Part I - Alpha House]

[Intro]
Yeah
Look

[Verse]
Young bull at the top of the block with the white front door and the corner subtle
Cool, but he always in trouble
Why you think his bredrins called him Knuckles?
Ten years old in beef, dad thinks street's takin' over me
Mumsy prayin' for me, but there ain't enough beads on the rosary
Raised by the wolves from young, but still in the jungle like Mowgli
Always up front when the olders speak
So was never as dumb as ones s'posed to be
Twos in the spliff by the lift
It be what it be and it is what it is
Thеy said if I tried it, they wildin'
And kickin' my shit 'cause it isn't for kids
4th floor's whеre my ting would've lived
If her fam never moved out to Harrow
Her dad was a pastor and marge was parrow
I'd take her daughter off the calm and narrow
Yout with the peppercorn, yeah
I know it seems kinda deep, but they thoughts was shallow
Spent my whole life on the market as the target that they point they arrows
Control it, then I pass it to Paolo
Kick abouts on Albert Road
Coach said "Come down to trials"
'Cause I could have got scouted, but I was at home
Or I was outside with the homies
If only I could've advised me now
But even if I was down and out
I still come back to Alpha House

[Part II - Bando]

[Intro]
No-No-No Days Off, No Days Off
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I just made a banger, I'm like "Where the scales?"
Finna weigh it 'fore I make the sale
Told me "Take a day off" I said "L-O-L"
All this music ain't gon' sell itself (True)
Mummy told me I should get a girl
Though I did shit with Yvette that I can never tell
And her man is wet, that's what she said herself
It's kinda funny 'cause she said she wet as well
But I can never bring her to my bando
Handle all my business in my bando
Made this one last year, but it bangs though
Have it cuttin' through your ear like it's Van Gogh
Yo, business ain't cheap, I need two phones
Mandem ringin' me for beats like I move dro
Same day I got a loot, I copped my new stove
Whippin' up my riddims, leave the booth smoked

[Chorus]
I just made a (I just made a) yah-yah (Yah-yah)
Uh-huh? (Uh-huh?) Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
Mandem always bore me with they rah-rah (Rah-rah)
You can ask Maury, I'm they father (Father)
I just made a (I just made a) yah-yah (Yah-yah)
Uh-huh? (Uh-huh?) Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
Mandem always bore me with they rah-rah (Rah-rah)
You can ask Maury, I'm they father (Father)

[Verse 2]
Mandem risk they life for a shiny belt
They sleep in YSL, but they lie as well
I can never tell a lie to my clientele
That's why they trust me with they time when we buy and sell
It's been ages since we came out as the new guys
Used to sling out the production just for two-five
Can't give the assumption that I'm too nice
Must be buggin', I ain't budgin' on the new price
Ooh, my, I did it 'cause I had to
When the business turn to problems what them man do? Uh?
Know he's runnin' like he had flu
Know they'll catch you cold when they point it at you
But I can never bring 'em to my bando
Handle all my business in the bando
I'ma need some rubbers for this bankroll
Mummy questionin' the money that I brang home, yah

[Chorus]
I just made a (I just made a) yah-yah (Yah-yah)
Uh-huh? (Uh-huh?) Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
Mandem always bore me with they rah-rah (Rah-rah)
You can ask Maury, I'm they father (Father)
I just made a (I just made a) yah-yah (Yah-yah)
Uh-huh? (Uh-huh?) Ah-ha (Ah-ha)
Mandem only bore me with they rah-rah (Rah-rah)
You can ask Maury, I'm they father (Father)

[Outro]
I just made a
Yah-yah
Mm-hmm (Mm-hmm), ah-hah (Ah-hah)
Mm-hmm, ah-ha
