Like, obviously I'm listening to your show uh huh And like, a lot of these guys, they don't know about grime, like (yeah) They know about grime now but they don't know about grime alright before it was grime but it weren't called garage, you get me? And man are talking like they know history (you're schooling 'em) Man don't know history, fam (alright, alright, alright) Obviously these MCs think grime started with "Pow!" Alright, do your ting, boss Alright, cool [Verse 1] I started in 2002 Locked onto Déjà, bars on the paper Way before Kano was a big baider Before Terror Danjah made Radar Way back when I had Air Max trainers I was in school, doing sets with Vader And I never done work in cla** I just spat bars till I needed an inhaler I 'member Déjà on a Monday night I used to turn into the radio taper Saturday night was an East Coast ting I used to rate Demon and Maxo Ranger So they can't tell me I don't know about grime I be like rudeboy, nuh mek me get serious My dad was a music man Mum was a UKG raver [Hook] Cause I've been on it since the wickedest ting Way before Tinch said "back, you know" Them times Wiley said "Tiger, Tiger" Now I'm gonna k** 'em with the new school flow I never used to roll deep regular I stayed in to listen to the radio shows Then I heard Esco say "man are murderer" Then I knew that grime had evolved [Verse 2] Remember when Jme first got known I heard him and Big H on the radio Way before Chipmunk ever said sho Meridian came before Boy Better Know I was at home, hearing about raves These times, I was too young to go to the shows I wanted to go, yeah, man, standing just to hear "5000 volts, it's your own fault" Whoa, these youts, what do they know? They just wanna do grime for the payload But you can't be a vet if you think that "Ps & Qs" Is the first tune by Kano Uneducated youts better lay low Think they can get by with the same flow They wanna search for all the money in grime But won't find nothing after the rainbow [Hook] Cause I've been on it since the wickedest ting Way before Tinch said "back, you know" Them times Wiley said "Tiger, Tiger" Now I'm gonna k** 'em with the new school flow I never used to roll deep regular I stayed in to listen to the radio shows Then I heard Esco say "man are murderer" Then I knew that grime had evolved [Hook] Cause I've been on it since the wickedest ting Way before Tinch said "back, you know" Them times Wiley said "Tiger, Tiger" Now I'm gonna k** 'em with the new school flow I never used to roll deep regular I stayed in to listen to the radio shows Then I heard Esco say "man are murderer" Then I knew that grime had evolved [Verse 3] Look, so when you hear this Better keep calm and just play the garage First heard house at like '98 Since then, it's been the longest marriage I don't wanna hear no talk about novice I've been on this ting since Mystic and Manic Way before Willy and Diz stopped talking And the whole scene used to rave in Palace Yo, so when you hear this Better keep calm and just play the garage First heard house at like '98 Ever since, it's been the longest marriage I don't wanna hear no talk about novice I was on this ting since Mystic and Manic Way before Willy and Diz stopped talking And the whole scene used to rave in Palace [Outro] With the badboy style Hit them with the 1s and 2 With the ba-ba-ba-ba-badboy style With the raving crew History lesson For the day I'm k-k-k-k-doin' it again Yeah, it's a vibe, yo With the, with the raving With the raving crew With the 1 2, hit 'em with the raving crew Enter, enter Enter Yo Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh It's all fun, man There's no more fun in grime no more Everyone's on this Screw man and box man in the face ting Dead that, man
