[Intro]
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
And the power
And the glory
Forever and ever
(Paper Pabs, The Man, The Myth)
[Hook: Paper Pabs]
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
[Verse 1: Paper Pabs]
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
You've got nothing to lose
I've got something to waste
I was deep in the blues, sipping rum with no chase
n***a trod on my shoes, got a punch in the face
Yeah he owed me £350, started ducking my calls
Thought "It's only £350", why's he ducking my calls?
Had to phone up his babe, she was loving my calls
Had her up in my [?], slam-dunking my balls
I'm at 10 Harris Hall, my Bloodline from the roads
I don't know any doctors, just some shotters with O's
Just some rappers that trap
Just some trappers that rap
Hoping I make it in music before the feds take me back
[Hook: Paper Pabs]
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
[Verse 2: President T]
North was a place
I said north was the base
Still in Meridian, that was a space
Cut to the chase, I'm so para
You better watch it, might get a cut to the face
Don't give a monkeys about the colour of skin, faith or race
Nah rudeboy
Please don't think Prez has forgot to diss
Some MCs would pa**, 90% would miss
I mean, 90% wouldn't make the grade
Go dig your dad up with a spade
About my mum? Go ask your mum
She was like, "You f**ed my up with the grade"
Taliban packet if you go up against Prez
You will never get paid
Shout out to Genius, bet he never knew he would ever get paid
You must have been in the shade
Now I'm back, on a crusade
Trust me this time no one's giving out aid
Dreams and careers will start to fade
President T displays

North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
[Verse 3: Paper Pabs]
What you sold me was fake
What you told me was flake
That's the sh** I won't take lightly
I'm highly irate
He tried to big up his chest
But that sh** got caved in
I used to sit on these steps blazing weed with Nadim
Smelling like piss and bleach
You go missing for weeks
In a basement with pigs, that ain't ate in three weeks
sh**ty n***as or neeks, trying to move like you cheese
Private school for my niece, drama school for my seeds
Welcome all race and all creeds
Japanese and Koreans
Pabby Wabby's bars are large, should be in a museum
Welcome all race and all creeds
Getting cheques up in Czech
Airport be checking my luggage when I leave Marrakech

North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
North London's the base
I know the plug like I'm ace
