Revenge (Explicit) - Skepta
Lyrics by:Skepta
Composed by:Skepta
Produced by:Skepta
I'm a half-Yorùbá half-Igbo man so way before Abraham peace be upon him
My tribe were eatin' deep in the forest this ain't the shit they'll teach you in college
I know it's my strong sense of identity is why they find it hard to stand next to me
Cah without the jewellery the cars and the clothes I'm still that nigga respectfully
And that's how it's always been
Ever since I was a teen like Martin I had a dream
To be the first guy from the North side in the Rewind Magazine
'Cause I'm not an MC I'm a locksmith I spit bars and I open doors
And I don't want a"Thank you" from a young G it's your world nigga have it it's yours
Usually I don't speak in public but I got a lot to say
I been in denial but not today
It was 2008 when I lost my way
I remember when I was rollin' deep then Wiley gave me the"Rolex" beat
I should've said"No thank you don't need to make pop money to see my Rolex sweep"
Still I can't blame anyone
I was a big man past the age of twenty-one
I fucked up the greatest run underdog psychosis had me hatin' everyone
Homeless livin' in my head all day livin' my life in a revengeful way
How much LSD can I take
You know what I mean?
To make the time
How about school and like
Disappear
You face
Go away
To face reality you know what I mean?
You face reality
Like all that they was tryna teach me in school was
I'm out here I'm out here
E=mc²
I know
I wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
I don't think I would've had social media
Or a phone number I woulda had a different structure
See survivor's guilt leads to trauma bondin' that's how the ship goes under
I let myself down tryna please everyone else I was losin' my hunger
Left it all behind then I dropped Blacklisted and I was one step closer
Instead of coverin' American beats we gon' need to go out there to win them over
I heard Virgil's playin'"German Whip" so Fashion Week I was there on the strip
Waited outside the club for an hour fuck Skepta I was there in the mix
Had an epiphany standin' in the queue
At that point I knew exactly what to do
I looked over there I see a guy with spiky hair
Had a chat with a random girl
So nice to meet you
She had silver nails to match the silver flares nobody judge nobody cares
Haha
So who am I?
Oh yeah I'm the tracksuit guy
Soon as I got back to London I got back to grime
Made the"That's Not Me" beat hit Jme like"Yo it's action time"
Yeah I'm in America borrowin' money off Critical man I gotta big up my soldier
Where would I be if BWP never 'lowed me to sleep on the sofa?
Toured the world off three singles then I came back home with a chip on my shoulder
Every day it was shades and grills my time now it's time to take over
Look at my face at the Mercury knowin' that should've been me way before thirty
Why do I need anyone's certification when I'm already certi'?
BBK had the blueprint early how many years have my crew been certy?
There was no more time to waste man I had to cut everyone off and it hurt me
419 yeah we cracked the code and any time I want I get back in that mould
'Cause nobody cares about your old-school hits them plaques they're gatherin' mould
You know anything I touch turns to gold so I'm tryna get the album packaged and sold
They think it's funny I think I'm a Top Boy haha that's a joke that will never get old
And that's why that's why these people love listenin' to you know the rap music and stuff
Greaze
Because a lot of people would say"Ah it's the rap that influences what's happenin'" but it's not
Ice
It's what's happenin' that influences the raps
Brrt brrt
Because if we weren't goin' through it
We wouldn't be rappin' about it
And it's like that's why these people out here are listenin' to this rap music
Because they finally feel that there's someone out there that relates to them
