This familiar tone and immaculate flow brings back the urgency similar to ‘Last Night In Leicester City’ which touches upon the trap-esque sound from his
debut mixtape ‘Scoseason’, that reached No.8 in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre on iTunes. The combination of both style shows the growth of JB Scofield

[Verse 1]
See I could open the gate or
Rap bars on the estate in a place full of love and hate
See I've, been to a place where
Man will stab you in the back
Next day come smile in your face
See that, makes man ache but
Still got love for this place singing
"Welcome back" like I'm old school Mase
Now it's, only shows since I don't do raves
Do my, Head-in (Eden) like Hazard, them boys ain't safe what you reckon...
Rules get bent like Beckham
Man try draw for my team so I back 'em
Fake friends in the same place where I left them
Watch them, switching on brothers just like Ben 10
Fuck that, head-out, jump in the ride
They could never crush my pride, See
Them man there
Wanna keep their eyes on my sight
Till they crush and slip n' slide
[Hook]
Till they slip n' slide (Slideee)
Slip n' Slide
Them man just slip n' slide
Them man just slip n' slide
They ain't in the scene, they hide
Them man they're two-faced
Just Jekyll and Hyde
Them man just Jekyll and Hyde
And if man turn into Hyde
Man them boys best hide
Man them boys best...
[Chorus]
Hate, I
Them man just hate, I
They've never seen my face and they think I play, I
They ain't even on what I'm on, tryna take my place, I
They could never take my blood, my sweat, my cake, I
They could never take my cake
[Bridge]
Heard they wanna slide on me now
Heard they wanna
Heard they wanna
Slide on me now
Are you gonna
Are you gonna slide on me now
They could never
No, they could never slide on me nah
Slide on me nah
[Verse 2]
Cause I put in work
ASAP FERG type work
Need a girl like, RiRi work
None of them put in work
All of them chat not work, man
I don't even wave, I surf
Still I, stand my ground
Ain't waiting for no 1-2
Waiting for bruddas to come buss me
Trust me, Hungry
Seen bruddas try bump me, knock me
Straight down, but I ain't lost G
Still I can't sleep
Cause I get para when I see them all
Doctor said I need some morphine
Them promoters said I weren't ready
Till they see me do my own ting
Never came up on my own nah
Still they poking at me for their profile
See the way we living, never born a sinner
Still they praying for me in my hometown
[Denzel Washington Audio]
[Hook]
Till they slip n' slide (Slideee)
Slip n' Slide
Them man just slip n' slide
Them man just slip n' slide
They ain't in the scene, they hide
Them man they're two-faced
Just Jekyll and Hyde
Them man just Jekyll and Hyde
And if man turn into Hyde
Man them boys best hide
Man them boys best...
[Chorus]
Hate, I
Them man just hate, I
They've never seen my face and they think I play, I
They ain't even on what I'm on, tryna take my place, I
They could never take my blood, my sweat, my cake, I
They could never take my cake
[Bridge]
Heard they wanna slide on me now
Heard they wanna
Heard they wanna
Slide on me now
Are you gonna
Are you gonna slide on me now
They could never
No, they could never slide on me nah
Slide on me nah
[Verse 3]
See I come from a place where
You could never get what you wish for
Even if you wanted to
Never had expensive things
You can keep your bling
I don't even need the money shoes
Because I ain't London Bound
They don't clock my sound
That's calm, they'll be watching soon
And that's cause I'm on my grind
Tryna stack this P's
I ain't done paying off my dues
And that's when they'll know
Scofield cold man, let him out the prison
That's the game...
They don't know what they're missing, I
Been going hard since, them Young Thugs Pick up the phone, phone calls just to run up the digits, I
See them man falling in n' out the game, I
See them man turn from the love to the hate, But, still I got hope for my City where I come from
Never could I never swap my City for another place, I flex
Better know that I'm up next...
