[Verse 1: Wretch 32]
Two shootings on the same day
Them full of action, them nah play, play
I lost my marbles in the same game
Retaliation takes away pain
Mum heard about it and said "Stay safe"
Laught to myself and hugged her same way
Cah she don't know she lost me time ago
Right now I'm probably on my 8th eight
My next door neighbor tried to rob me
My zombie nearly turned him zombie
I went to check him in the hospital
He knew I was right, he couldn't wrong me
Cah men ain't takin' violation
And man ain't talkin' in them stations
And if I'm walkin' with my blade then
I'm never slippin' on thеse pavements
It's likе I'm seeing somethin' different to you
When we flick through the new
I've seen opps that have died
You see innocents yutes
I've seen mums that are crying
Thinkin' why is she lyin'?
Thinkin' why don't she tell them what he really was like?
How much he used to ride and he scarred me for life
But we just caught him slippin' at the barbers tonight
They say it's unfortunate, but it can't be this time
Because if it wasn't her, then it be my mother crying
[Chorus: SL]
Still we moving, then we're out
Food up in the pot, food up in the couch
Get it by the box, move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about
Doing it a lot, moving then we're out
Food up in the pot, food up in the couch
Get it by the box, move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about
[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
Woke up this morning, checked my Insta
I see my bredrin gettin' gripsed up
My sister's sayin' that's a minor
But she don't see the bigger picture
She said "Don't go do nothin' stupid"
Laughed to myself and kept it movin'
Cah man ain't takin' violations
And you're my G, so they're pagans so
Fam, link up, ride out in the hours
We gon' splash everybody in the showers
Gang, gang, suck your mum, you're all clowns
He was running for his live like a coward
Why you running? Why you running?
Dip him down
Trip him, stick, stick, stick and bounce
Where's his phone? Whip it out
That was earlier, pussy, this is now
Post a video up on his account
Someone's ringing, so we ring, ring it out
We're zinging out, listening to big amounts
They say we went overboard, let him drown
How many times have I caught man slippin?
Run man down in my Nikes or slippers
Hand got stuck, but I kept on stickin'
Call me the gift that keeps on givin'
DSquared2 jeans when I stepped in Timbs
Got man's blade when I got my ting
Next door neighbor or next of kin
Run man down or do man in
[Chorus: SL]
Doing it a lot, moving then we're out
Food up in the pot, food up in the couch
Get it by the box, move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're aboutDoing it a lot, moving then we're out
Food up in the pot, food up in the couch
Get it by the box, move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about
[Outro]
Jerol, it's Simz
My brother showed me a video of you and his friend fighting or something earlier
I was just calling you, like I'm just, I don't know
I called you three times now, but you're not answering so just tryna find out what's going on
But ring me because I wanna make sure you'll still meet up
Before something stupid happens
Because he's gonna be an uncle and he had to live with that
You know what I'm sayin'?
Anyway, just call me back when you get this
I'm just checkin' in to see if you're cool, alright?
Alright, I'll speak to you in a bit, bye-bye
