BBK – boy better know
Warning: it’s explicit and quite long with a rough start
I’ve been keeping my ears to the streets
The UK run out of ideas
everybody doing covers
of Hetero beats
If it’s not the Ace Hood hard man thug flow
Then it all sounds like Dizzy Rascal tho
Is this is the shit I’m supposed to respect?
Fuck that brother wait, let’s reflect
P A U S to the E
Don’t know who you’re pretending to be
I don’t care what gun you bang
I don’t care what drug you sell
Fuck you man
Because I got a DJ, BA
7 MC’s and five publishers on my circuit
So before you start
eating food at the game
Better bring something
To the the circus
Skepta, this love letter
Punctuated with inspiration, accommodation for personal light –
Now Emma G, me, my inspirations and floods of light – mental
Too many men come into the game for 2 minutes still dominate the game for
two minutes
Shoot two videos, spit two lyrics
Now all of a sudden – their names are getting
mentioned In the same sentence as mine by the critics?
What has this world come to
Man always controlling shift, control Z and undo
But all thanks to the love and support
I’m gassed up standing up out on my sun roof
And I’m screaming
BBK
BBK
None of them flex like BBK
And if I ever see your girl on the street
Then Emma get arrested for PDA
Cause she knows I do it and it’s real
And I don’t give a shit who’s got a deal
Because if the game was a tray full of ice cubes
I’m the coldest and the hardest still
They thought “oh dropping out again, are you” would crush me
Last week I did five feature reviews,
The supporters have still got love for me
Middle finger to the media
Hypocrites can’t touch me
I’ll be out in soho eating out rollos
Word to Milky T, this food tastes lovely
I walk from Drury Lane to the flats opposite Marylebone station
Payed subs to go on the tube station
Left tube, jumped on the train to rosy old Windsor
Age 18, Taking coke, fucking in the rocking-horse play room / blowing of steam, taking k on the back bench as my education
Lemme show you a thing bout dedication
Suffering from Underdog Psychosis trying to stay alive
Riding around on a bike
Eating out pies, I got more dots on me than a dyke
The elders had the chips and the golden cheese
But didn’t wanna let me have a bite
So it was just me, my Bertie, the wasters roaming the streets at night
Felt like I was wasting life
Put down the razor blades and – picked up the mic
For one whole year never got music – money or a kick off white
Been penciling, making rent
Painting more poems in the basement
But I know that Rome wasn’t built in a night
Looked at he – end of the tunnel and saw the light
Skepta, my lover, this love letter
Punctuated with inspiration, accommodation
For personal light
Now me and my Upside Down site – mental
Too many men still Come in the game for
Two minutes
dominate the game for
two minutes
Shoot two videos, spit two lyrics
Now all of a sudden –
their names are getting
mentioned
In the same sentence as mine by the chavinists?
What has this world come to
Man always controlling shift control Z – can’t undo
But all thanks to the love and support
I’m gassed up, standing up, preaching out
singing out
BBK
None of them flex like BBK
And if I ever see – your girl on the street
Then I’m gonna get arrested for PDA
‘Cause she knows I do it – and it’s real
And I don’t give a shit – who’s got a deal
Cause if the game was
Being a
dyke – in a princess world,
Taking ket in my ladi daa land,
Oh Swell,
I’ll fold
I feel like
I’m an
ocean in a
shell
And now I can’t stop writing with a beat
The motion,
the commotion and all round London
potion
Is making me sick
I throw up,
roll up,
grease up through this little piece
Of life given to me from the Big Big Bang
Caprice ?
Cacophony of creepy suits clashing through capitalist London city
WAIT
This is our time, our generational home slice of
Agency,
Performative leading forces in our millennial bubble activity
I want to claw at, demand at, claim at
My roles and my responsibilities
my exaltations and my failures,
my mistakes and my saviours
Fuck the gentry, where’s my fucking liberty
Welcome to the Upside Down
