Talking about his group of friends (Essie gang) and how when they are altogether they become more empowered.
“Lightning” is also part of the FIFA 19 soundtrack.
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Look at me in defeat (Essie gang, essie gang, essie gang)
Don't rinse me more, we been fighting all week
Filled with struggle, I weep, I've been on these streets
Still it gets me all weak, in your eyes
I can tell when you're lying
Admit that you're wrong, when you know I'm so right (alright)
Only the truth when you look in my eyes
I’m a chav boy and you know that it’s real (boom boom)
Red light shit, how you get lit?
With Essie I step, with Essie I rep
[Chorus]
Lightning, shining
When Essie come through, we step, we flex
Do this as long as we stay yes correct (oh yeah)
Lightning, shining, reminding
When Essie come through, we step, we flex
And we do this as long as we stay yes correct
[Verse 2]
And now I'm sitting there with a peng one
And I said say hello to my friend tho
Don't wanna step out I move ten toes mixed [?] with the benzo
Sitting down is so detrimental
Stand up with my crew, hit the bezel
Don't look for no medal, stay low and jump levels
I know I ain't blown but, how long I been doing this ting
Been there on my own you try for no ring
Who's that? That's fake (Who's fake Who's fake)
OG SPSC that's him, when he falls by a limb
But you boy you can't take a limb I got
[Chorus]
Lightning, shining
When Essie come through, we step, we flex
Do this as long as we stay yes correct (oh yeah)
It's lightning, shining, reminding
When Essie come through, we step, we flex
And we do this as long as we stay yes correct
[Verse 3]
Blacked out cause it match my team
(Essie gang, essie gang, essie gang, woo)
Yeah, Jay roll it backwoods, still preeing still dreaming
Tell her B don't come around
If you ain't fucking round, you can leave
See me I'm just money'd down to my enemy
[Outro]
Oh yeah
Lightning, shining, reminding
When Essie come through, we step, we flex
And we do this as long as we stay yes correct
