The primary track on the second installment of Lewisham artist Merky Ace’s 2016 mixtape, ‘Catch Up’.
It boasts a production which sounds like it was produced by a Transylvanian mental patient, a fitting soundtrack to the calm before a horror movie villain’s assault.
As for the lyrics M.A. describes...
[Chorus]
Yoooo
Tell a boy 'catch up'
'Cause the levels don't match up
I dare man act up, you will get whacked up
Grips'd and bax'd up
With a white girl lookin' all Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Tryna stay low from the jake, I mean I
Cruise round in a Mondeo, Hyundai and Vectra
Project's called Catch Up, that's a hood lecture
[Verse 1]
Tiptoe-ing in my 750's
Creep in the yard, we don't need no history
All we gotta know is that you got swiss cheese
And me nuh fling it pon' you like a frisbee
Ting kick like Lisbee
Home invasions, unsolved mysteries
See me on the frontline; A-C-E
Bun haters, I know they see me
Gyal with a big batty's rating me
Tell 'em catch up if they ain't prestige
It's a rat race when I'm chasing P's
You can spend P on her, fam, not me
I stay A-R-D
Every time you hear FT on beat:
Could'a been T, Shif, M or E
(FAMILY TREE)
But it's me
[Chorus]
Yoooo
Tell a boy 'catch up'
'Cause the levels don't match up
I dare man act up, you will get whacked up
Grips'd and bax'd up
With a white girl lookin' all Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Tryna stay low from the jake, I mean I
Cruise round in a Mondeo, Hyundai and Vectra
Project's called Catch Up, that's a hood lecture
[Verse 2]
You can get ketchup stains on the dresser
When we creep in when you undress her
Gonna get brains, til she saw brains
Chops and chain get corn off
I got that 'oh', you can get 'yeah'
I ain't gotta say it, cause it's all clear
How you think I was rolling last year?
It's a new year, step it up a new gear
Catch up, Catch up, get over here
But I ain't Scorpz
I was in the Ford, flogging off draws
Pulling down draws
Banging out windows, banging out doors
I was in a Mazda, I was in a Passo
I was in a Golf, I was in a Polo
I was in a Ford Focus Estate
Tints in the black and the back was bolo
[Chorus]
Yoooo
Tell a boy 'catch up'
'Cause the levels don't match up
I dare man act up, you will get whacked up
Grips'd and bax'd up
With a white girl lookin' all Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Tryna stay low from the jake, I mean I
Cruise round in a Mondeo, Hyundai and Vectra
Project's called Catch Up, that's a hood lecture
[Verse 3]
Catch up, I've been doing this ting for a minute
I'm certi, my name is well known
I'm knee deep in the streets, I'm releasing the heat
If you touch me or one of my bros
I ain't tryna hear nothing from her or from he
Cause I did this ting on my own
And if they think that they're better than Family Tree
Let me tell you 'bout something I own
It goes boof boof blaow, it will lick down a cow
I ain't new to the beef don, I'm grown
I was just a young G with a lickle bit of P
Catch Up I been doing this long
Nobody ever put me on
I stand up inna di war all strong
Block pagan thots and opps off my @
Cause the talking ting's all long
[Chorus]
Yoooo
Tell a boy 'catch up'
'Cause the levels don't match up
I dare man act up, you will get whacked up
Grips'd and bax'd up
With a white girl lookin' all Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Tryna stay low from the jake, I mean I
Cruise round in a Mondeo, Hyundai and Vectra
Project's called Catch Up, that's a hood lecture
