[Intro: Grim Sickers]
How you gonna act like they can’t tell?
"Oi, Sickers, how you act like that?"
I got a flow that'll serve me well
2125 like Adele
How you gonna act like they can’t tell?
"Oi, Sickers, how you act like that?"
I got a flow that'll serve me well
[Chorus: Grim Sickers & The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light]
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
[Verse 1: Ghetts]
I’m the real deal
Still got the samurai sword that killed Bill
I spilt blood before I spilt milk
And we don’t cry over spilt milk
Three course meal and I still feel hungry
If Jack don’t wanna roll, Jill will
Just done a move in Mill Hill
Came in the game like "yeah, I wanna war"
Now it’s a moshpit, bears on the floor
I shout at shows till my hearing is poor
And I drive like I ain't aware of the law
I don’t care anymore
Might say fuck it a thousand times
And then tell man I won’t swear anymore
I ain't all there anymore
[Chorus: Grim Sickers & The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light]
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
[Verse 2: Grim Sickers]
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got air
Dun man's dance, I left man there
Air this, air that, rer-rer-rer
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got shh
Man can’t send that shh
Spin man, shh, everyting shh
I ran past every MC that I rated
PRS backdated
I'm feeling like Neo from Matrix
Go away and come back like a bailiff
Not one thing a hater taught me
I'm in the grime scene feeling like Fury
I told the hater to come talk, G
No credit, he had to WhatsApp call me
[Chorus: Grim Sickers & The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light]
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
[Verse 3: The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light]
If I gave my heart to you
I’d have none, you’d have two
I started out with nothing
Took my pill at the ball
If you started out with something
Then you've got it all to lose
I started out with nothing
And I've still got it all
With your boo, till the end
Till the end of the food
You make ends meet
Then they go and move the ends
I wanna live forever
No scars, no good
I wanna live forever
So far, so good
[Chorus: Grim Sickers & The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light]
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
Yeah, I said make that mill
Empty your pockets and you got zill
Say that he won’t but I know that I will
Open the till
[Outro: Grim Sickers]
How you gonna act like they can’t tell?
"Oi, Sickers, how you act like that?"
I got a flow that'll serve me well
2125 like Adele
How you gonna act like they can’t tell?
"Oi, Sickers, how you act like that?"
I got a flow that'll serve me well
Grim Sickers released Open the Till on Mon Sep 04 2017.
Speaking of the collaboration, Grim told i-D:
Mike Skinner picked me up off the back of my hit single “Kane”, and I’ve worked with Ghetts quite a lot recently, and I just put them both on the track. Bit of old school, bit of new school. Ghetts is really popping right now so it’s a good mix.
