What It Is

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
I don’t know nothing but this
Yeah, yeah
You know what it is (Burst, Burst)
Yeah, yeah, you know what it is
Yeah

[Chorus]
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Living in ignorant bliss
Looking right in the abyss
Like fam, are you taking the piss?
I done it all for the risk, yeah
Tried hit a lick and I missed, yeah
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Yeah, yeah, you know what it is

[Verse 1]
Been a bit lost from a young’un
Hard head, stubborn
Can’t do dirt on me, get your cousin
I done too much ‘cah I never had nuttin’
One door open, next one’s shutting
And round here, mate, everybody’s on suttin’
Man try pull string and touch button
I was out in the rain and the cold’s all cuttin’
Them clouds I’m followed by but still gotten by
Man’s got a life but still wanna die
Swallowed pride and cut solid ties
But can’t sell me dreams that I don’t wanna buy
Round here, akh, no swapping sides
Brown paper bag, Roni Size
Death’s certain, you ain’t promised life
Man’ll take your re-up like don, it’s life
Drink, violence, drug abuse
All my mandem are shotting white
Three sluts, they don’t clean much
Until the beak’s done and then they polish sides
Shout my akhs round Glodwick sides
That Ri Ri, it ain’t pocket-sized
The B runs and the rocket flies
And the weed cycle like Boris bikes
Another day in the ends, same and again
Got slapped up, now he’s aiming a skeng
Done mad stuff, tried making amends
But I think it’s too late to repent
Made up my bed, just to lay awake and again
All type of mad thoughts race in my head
Like “fam, I can’t wait for the end”
But you know what it is, man, it ain’t one of them, trust

[Chorus]
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Living in ignorant bliss
Looking right in the abyss
Like fam, are you taking the piss?
I done it all for the risk, yeah
Tried hit a lick and I missed, yeah
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Yeah, yeah, you know what it is
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Living in ignorant bliss
Looking right in the abyss
Like fam, are you taking the piss?
I done it all for the risk, yeah
Tried hit a lick and I missed, yeah
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Yeah, yeah, you know what it is

[Verse 2]
Yeah, and it’s that real
What goes up comes down like anvil
Keep it moving, man can’t stand still
Losing it all, I could tell you how that feels
What? Big in Enfield, Anfield
Funny how the best-laid plans get cancelled
Oi, rudeboy, nuttin’ ain’t casual
I don’t make beats but come get a sample
I was like twelve with Mark and Skama
Liquor and weed and arms and passa
I don’t really care about stars and glamour
Whip up the raw like Arm and Hammer
These man are all cap, no action
Dashed out a pic, never had no caption
Had to go back to the roads and slide out
‘Cah none of their tunes never had no traction
I’m steppin’ out, man, Joe Jackson
Half Irish, half Anglo-Saxon
Can’t drop gold and go platinum
But them type of problems, man don’t have them lately
Thoughts in my head like man’s going crazy
Took a wrong turn, have to do a 180
Drink till my mind’s eye sees shit grainy
Everyday’s rainy, you know what it is

[Chorus]
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Living in ignorant bliss
Looking right in the abyss
Like fam, are you taking the piss?
I done it all for the risk, yeah
Tried hit a lick and I missed, yeah
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
Yeah, yeah, you know what it is

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
I don’t know nuttin’ but this
My brudda, you know what it is, you know what it is
