Devil You Know

[Verse 1]
Nominated special guest
Made a mess cos I am a mess
Did my worst whilst at my best
Outdid myself I am impressed
Your operation's a bag of stress
Tryna find that happiness
Give up. I'll manifest
How to smash that acid test
Rigor mortis in my chest
Oven baked, I’ve been obsessed
I’ve been up late
Like will it wait?
Like will it break?
Like will it rest?
Having slept I can invest
Non-attached my Spanish press
Talking stats you’re static less
Had to patch my stabbing vest
Like how much truth can man ingest?
I just think he’s mad depressed
Underdressed like house arrest
First impressions, second guess
Since scratching my name in a desk
I must confess I have been blessed
I don’t know what I’m doing here and I ain’t got a clue what happens next

[Chorus]
One at a- one at a time
Sod it, I’ve got it, it’s mine
Honour the fact I was born
Collect the mechanical corn
Scribble and fill in a form
Put on a hat and perform
Get up and go to the show
Better the devil you know

[Verse 2]
Very cool
Balls empty, belly full
I’ve been around, I’ve been about
I’ve seen it all, I’m cynical
You must feel so miniscule
Mr T, I pity fool
Fully gassed, I kill it off
I kill it dead, I kill it all
You don’t wanna see me get biblical
I don’t really deal with the fictional
But I do know I’m unpredictable
The principality of that whole principle, oi
I don’t wanna sound difficult
But I understand why they’re so miserable
And don’t think I won’t do the unthinkable
I might just
I’m so sophistical when I bust

[Chorus]
One at a- one at a time
Sod it, I’ve got it, it’s mine
Honour the fact I was born
Collect the mechanical corn
Scribble and fill in a form
Put on a hat and perform
Get up and go to the show
Better the devil you know

[Verse 3]
CBD my EDC
DDT that SAD
PPL that GIG
DTF my BIT
Gotta keep my receipts for my VAT
Claim that back, I see, I see
OTT my CAE
Right about now, it’s all me me me
Full steam ahead no looking back
In the kitchen like I’m cooking crack
Ooh tweet out that, what you looking at?
Baseball bat with a crooked cap
Took the piss can’t put it back
Into them Ps like sugar snap
That’s how anybody would react
And I still wouldn’t change if I could adapt
I’m like

[Chorus]
One at a- one at a time
Sod it, I’ve got it, it’s mine
Honour the fact I was born
Collect the mechanical corn
Scribble and fill in a form
Put on a hat and perform
Get up and go to the show
Better the devil you know
