[Chorus]
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
[Verse 1]
Come through, who's that?
Two bob, two black
Tied to the ends of my chest (Yeah)
But never fell for the food trap
Life, have to improve that (Yeah)
So stellar with the groove back (Groove back)
Got a message for the thieves in palace (What's that?)
We want our jewels back (Yeah)
Bottle that burn, Britannia
Serious spice (Serious spicе)
Jerk seasoned chickpеa curry (Uh, huh)
Leave that rice, (Leave that rice)
Watch my carbs
I don't sleep, watch the stars
Working hard, watch me graft
I got devils to kill
When them man are all dead (Huh)
Find their grave, watch me dance, uh
Go green light, it's on sight (On sight)
I bark and bite, watch me dog
Medusa stares on their face (Why?)
Them man there watch me hard (Ha)
Yeah, I know it's insane how I broke free from my chains
On the rise once again
They want more, I've got more blood in my veins
[Chorus]
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
[Verse 2]
I made history (I'm here)
Still act as if they haven't heard of me (Why?)
Too independent and I've got a God complex
Way stronger than Hercules
I swam seas way worse than these
I never let these sharks circle me (Never)
Robbing musicians, villain ain't a victim
These suits can't burgle me, well
Unless you count one time (One time)
I was a victim of one crime (One crime)
Was it gun crime?
Nah, Bob Vylan got robbed for the Mercury
Yeah, I know it's insane
Try throw dirt on my name
On the rise once again
They want more, I've got more blood in my veins
[Chorus]
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
Watch me reign
[Bridge]
First of all, I don't rant, I spit facts
And if I speak facts with passion, that's just the way it is
I'm not one of your news reporters that's gonna sit there on fucking national TV, talking about
"Oh, well due to this news, the cost of living crisis, the energy crisis is rather insignificant right now"
What do you mean insignificant motherfucker?
We are still alive
[Outro]
Repeat after me
Fuck queen and country
Living in boxes, Lizzy lived comfy
Ribs start touching, kiddies get hungry, guns start clutching
Licking off pumpys
Welcome to England
Where so many man live on the knifes edge
Now let that sink in, what you thinking?
We need health, they wanna sell us more drugs and drinking
We need help
Landlords are rinsing, we get freezing rentals to live in
Draught in the bedroom, mould in the kitchen
Leak in the bathroom, pipes need fixing
I know my brother is filled with ambition
But he's doing five years in prison
I ain't the same he got locked up, sentence took me off of my feet
He ain't the same since he got knocked up
Yeah, you know the kids gotta eat
I remember when the pack got rocked up
I realised I could make P
Did it for years, he did it for months
I wonder why they didn't take me, you don't understand (You don't understand)
If you never seen a knife in your brother's hand
Been told go back to your motherland
If you never sold one point six to a dozen man
Reloaded, hit another grand
Keep it schtum
I went from no comment in the piggies room
To playing shows in the biggest room
Now I'm back on my shit
Bet I've got your manager back on my dick
Twenty percent, twenty percent
They keep on screaming out twenty percent
I need it all, I'm paying the rent
I need it all, I'm paying the crew
Quit telling me that I'm paying my dues
Go ask around, I'm breaking the rules
Back us up when I'm back in the room
They want a nigga with no attitude
White girl PR with something to prove
She loved the boys when they're in the blues
Someone should tell her to turn on the news
They're killing black men and she thinks it's cool
And she does PR for who?
Ew, that could never be me
They're making me sick
Black and I'm proud, I watch for their tricks
I'm so black, wake in the morn, put hot sauce on my Weetabix
Yesterday we were too extreme
Now they hashtag and raise a fist
Try and blackball me
They forgot about my black balls, watch me take the piss
