Released on May 10th of 2019, Bike and Planes signals Sox’s return to Grime, a genre largely overshadowed by the increased presence of more commercial mainstream rap and the insane popularity of UK Drill.
Bikes and Planes is a return to form for Sox, who captures his original style and brings it ba...
(Intro)
In the smokehouse, no sauce
Had two cribs, and a whore
I listen to T, book a holiday
Bikes, trains, planes, yeah I've gone away
(Verse 1)
Just come back from Iceland
Bust third left by Mattalan Island
Then I see Ruser and Ras by Ryland
And got my brand new pushbike back from Bikeman
Alright then, that's a good bike man
Now I can catch my opps from school at 3 in the morning that didn't like man
My don I woke up late, went CC and shut down Tunnel Club
Man don't drive but I've got a push bike that's two stroke, I ride with rubber gloves
See man on a Carrera GT, 85CC you can double clutch
I cut off the engine, pedal to Broad Street and bust on Louise's bubble butt
What the fuck? Someone just hacked up my socials, think they must still be in love and stuff
I'm not hungry, don't wanna Chop & Wok
You try fuck with my noodle, I use you for sloppy uck
Girls get passed around like a hockey puck
If she wants to link in dodgy pubs, I'll go there hooded up, for real
(Hook)
My mum said "John you need to fix up because your Flush Raw freestyle, that's the in past
And your Grimeblog videos, that's in the past
And your Boy Better Know link, that's in the past
You used to go London, that's in the past
Was a MOBO nominee, that's in the past
You was living in Spain but that's in the past
Stop riding your bike and chilling in the flats"
(Verse 2)
I'm an English gangster something like Steven French
Yeah I was on crud on Eastwood Road
Now I'm in Belgium with Clint yeah
Man's not skint but trust me the B got broke
I wake up, write bars, smoke weed and then do fuck all else
My OG came through with a couple ounce
We got big green nugs like brussel's sprouts
And me and Hatch had three straps in the same house
One for long range, one you could spray off a bike and one you could fit in a pouch
Because I thought that's what being born in the hood was about
Now I got clout, man are up top trying to help everyone out
Don't judge me by shit that I said when I was 15
Write 16's about yourself
Go on a jog or go on a long run and think about the long run
Grew up in the era of Wunmylungtung now I gotta bust my Wunsung
Chilling with bae, 110 and we're southbound trying to focus on the Tom Tom
Didn't want a diamond chain in the past but fuck that now blood I want one
Yo blood, 12 holidays in the last 12 months, me and Lulu do a few movements
Fuck knows how man ain't got a tan, at least we got home improvements
Turbulence gives me goosebumps but I'm out here doing shows for the students
I'm not trying to be a nuisance, just trying to give reassurance
I studied the MCAS update on the Max 8 so if the pilot dies then we ain't gonna nose dive
I land this Boeing with one engine in the crosswing 'cause I'm trying to live my whole life
I know what that's for, flick that switch to activate flap 4, that's how you slow the plane down
Pull and twist that lever, that's for the landing gear yeah you can feel safe now
Man had MS DOS on the joystick, Youtube vids showed me 'round the cockpit
If I press red square and Air Traffic Control don't speak in English, I've still got this
I ain't trying to burn and die in the concrete 'til my mission is complete
Man go Spain get a curry I won't eat, have sex, cuddle and go sleep yeah
(Bridge)
My mum said "John you need to fix up because your Flush Raw freestyle, that's the in past
And your Grimeblog videos, that's in the past
And your Boy Better Know link, that's in the past
You used to go London, that's in the past
Was a MOBO nominee, that's in the past"
Invasion Alert that ain't in the past 'cause I'm still out here like "Bap Bap"
