Part 1
[Intro: Kenny Allstar]
MKThePlug
One time for MkThePlug
Mika gave me this one
Mika, wagwarn?
It's Kenny Allstar, the voice of the streets
When I speak the streets listen
And I'm gonna go over to the east side of that river
Link up with my guy KO in Homerton
Easy link ups, this is Mad About Bars season 3, let's roll
[Verse 1: KO]
They talkin' about verbal
These kids that fuck with the opps say they ain't involved
But they wanna give bird calls
Them man dash and jump from gang
Them man athletes, should've done hurdles
I was with my driller S in a dinger
Gloved up with intentions to burgle
I gotta get bread to survive
I've picked up packs with intent to supply
What do you know 'bout eager?
Stain the crop early so you gotta wait 'til it's dry
What do you know 'bout fever?
Pigeon in a car, tell him bang it where they're holdin' a vibes
And them man come like Bieber
Ain't tryna hear a sorry when we're goin' on a glide
And how many times have we stepped on a random
Had no intention to ride?
You can come to the 9, this is real life gangland
You ain't gotta watch Channel 5
And them man beat off blanks
Hashtag the corn in your gun ain't live
And you ain't gotta be no tramp
Work, do ethics, stains or grind
Tell my young boy, fuck if you're friends from school
If they're opps, best burn that bridge
What you know 'bout opps backin' straps
Not sure if it's real so you tell him to give it a ring
What you know 'bout glides with a car full of drillers
And no one ain't sayin' a thing?
Come back, have bro complain
I could never catch them 'cah them boys too quick
Whenever I'm smokin' it's lemon, not cheese
And them man are grindin' to stunt on girls
Them boy are some different breeds
Gave a cat some pebs
The light come ments, you might need different B
They like the way that I rap
Said the flow come mad, "K, your ting set differently"
What you know 'bout wantin' to grind
But bro wanna ride and he's askin' persistently?
And how many times have we stepped them sides?
Done showed them consistency
That boy got cheffed, weren't me, weren't us
They watchin' suspiciously
I mash work, don't claim, ain't afraid
Just don't want publicity
If you're hurt 'cah you're chillin' 'round them
Then don't expect any sympathy
I won't let him explain, just do him
'Cause he'll just lie convincingly
And my man's on with his friends
But what is he on specifically?
And them man step 'cah they're told to
When I'm ridin', it's willingly
Man done cars and moped glides
If needs be, I'll grab that pedals
All they do is cut through the ends in new shaped whips
And leave with mashed down rentals
Man's just runnin' down mugs, pushin' out grub
Hungry? I'll lick me a kettle
More time I got mine so if I see 'em punks
No, I ain't tryna wrestle
[Bridge: Kenny Allstar]
But KO, real talk I tell these niggas time and time again
You either do this live on the net or do it live on the streets
MKThePlug
You take your pick
Mika gave me this one
Jheeez
[Verse 2: KO]
They on the net just talkin' it tough
The Sammy got length
Bro just step same way like he's needin' a crutch
The beef gets cold it, man's heatin' it up
The trap goes slow, man's speedin' it up
I hate when I lack 'cah I don't wanna leave it to luck
For the snitch and a snake
We're sendin' 'em off, somebody get me a ref
The beef goes dead, man's cookin' it up like chefs
And you ain't never stepped out ten toes
Got to their block, seen feds
We were tryna do it like Rico
Push them things around necks
Or we'll do it like J Trunks
Push them things around chests
I'm so vexed, a boy got poked, got poked
But I wish it was a opp instead
Tryna get me a toy that talks, a toy that talks
This toy ain't nuttin' like Ted
Never been one for the rules, not one for the rules
Never done what Simon said
If feds try pull me over
I'm out of the booth, I'll tell them a lie
Bro said that he's on that yute
I'm on him too, I ain't gotta ask why
Man know that my loyalty's tied
And how many man from your team are original?
How many man switched sides?
If the guys wan' glide then you know I'm gonna slide
Hate man you gotta pressure to ride
Me and V hop out on sight
Man United like Andy and Dwight
Mad excited, anyhow it's that time
Roll on opps and shake down blocks, we've been on crime
Me and bro pull up on peds
Them boys just jet, it was worth the try
Part 2
[Intro: Kenny Allstar]
So that's what it's all about, uniting the streets
Mika gave me this one
Giving you the hottest drill freestyles, undisputed
K-K-K-Kenny Allstar
Okay
Simpz, Simpz
So it's been eagerly anticipated, KO
We gotta hit them with two
Introducing the streets to someone new
It's what I do
This shits ments, this shits ments
[Verse 1: KO]
This shit's ments
Them boys got jewels but them boy there gems
Man just run from sirens
Not when they fire, they ran off and left their skeng
Left their sweet ones, split with men
It don't make sense
That's like not activatin' on paigons
But then activatin' on friends
Up in cunch, dressed to blend
Serve them pebs and duck them feds
Same way on the ends
But still back cheffs if I'm buckin' opps
But I ain't tryna buck no cops
That's fingerprints and cotton swabs
My bro's got keys, no fobs
He breaks them down and gets them gone
Pack that car up, we're causin' mayhem
If I jump out the ride on a yute over them sides
I don't wanna hear what he's sayin'
The ambulance is gon' take him
The hopistal's where he's bakin'
If you ain't involved and you're chillin' with them
It's yourself that you're playin'
When man roll on them you'll get caught up in it
The Rambo's short like midgets
Have really been on them rides, numerous times
Really tryna leave man spinach, turn man cabbage
I'll serve that cat if he's got pounds
I couldn't give a toss if he's talkin' my language
He gives me bread then I'll manage
I'd rather be with it than not
And how many times have we caught man lackin'?
Like, did you forget you had opps?
And I'm from E9, not N19
But we still get busy on blocks
Remember that day, see opps in the whip
We made 'em car dash like Rob
It's deffo 'cah we steppin' on violence
That the Trident wanna lock my squad
The work-rate gets tirin'
But we ridin', really tryna turn man off
We really tryna push things through
Bro wan' step then I'm ridin' too
I was vex with my boy, we were creepin' on 'em
He shouted and then they blew
What you know about beef?
See an opp back streets, jump out, start movin' all loose
And how many times have I been back seat
Car full, just weapons and goons?
There's hella fake kweffings
How many more are they gonna do?
We're still runnin' them down
If one of them falls, you'll see on the news
If we're talkin' facts
I just wanna bake, make cash
But if we're drawn out, I'm hittin' flats
They can't come here and we don't go back
They must've got it twist like plaits
That girl dead
She think she a Barbie, more like Bratz
I told him wait, but he just wanna skate
He's creasin' his Air Ones, should've wore Vans
I remember that day
Went to an estate, hopped out and everyone ran
Might be up in their bits while they're tryna bill spliffs
You want smoke? Should've went 'Dam
You can have it all, certainly
Niners pull up, we cancellin' plans
And man really out on the pave'
I ain't got time for the nonsense
More time if we hear that you're there
Then we're comin' and you know we're bringin' a problem
I'm touchin' these kids
I don't give a damn, no Johnson
Man pull up in their strips, run or get hurt
I'm givin' 'em options
I can't wait 'til the mandem free
I wanna lick a kilo like I punched up Keemz
Stick to the G code, get nicked, don't speak
If they roll up and it gets peak, don't freeze
Them boys fans of me, this is awkward beef
Man know trappers, fraudsters, thieves
But opps, it's Rambo's leavin' sleeves
Out of case and into Tees
Get rid of green, white and B
What you know 'bout grindin'?
Walkin' until you barely feel your feet?
What you know 'bout the stress of havin' a swamz
But ain't got links for the sweets?
But if that's how it gets, I'm grabbin' my nank
Same way man step on streets
