M.E.N II

Yo

Bugzy Malone

You know

I hit the top like I don't know what

Now 500's Play-Doh gwop

And these man tryna take my spot when

I'm sitting at home with writer's block

But there's not an emcee as eloquent as me

Let me get that clear

And my accountant said,

I can make a million and not make a track this year

Now how's that for a turnover?

I made a gilet and a holster

Felt like I looked in the mirror

When I seen the new JD poster

And it sold out so fast,

They want me to sign contracts like they're O2 or Voda

In exchange for exposure

But still I don't feel any closer to the real answer

Why did I wanna be a gangster?

When will I get rid of this pain?

Feels like I'm in handcuffs

I wanna fly to the south of France

I wanna learn how to Salsa dance

The chef come here

'Cause everybody in the restaurant kept watching man

And I'm thinking "wait are they watching man?"

Did he think I'm a p***k, or are they just secret fans?

Blessed by a God, fear no man

But my heart still beats when I see a police van

I was hungover

In Phuket I couldn't stay sober

I needed a break from pulling a straight face,

I don't play poker

I was out there looking at the pelicans

Stroking the tigers and elephants

Emcees all fighting for relevance

But I'm on the next level of eloquence

Where do I get it from?

Did I get it from him?

Could it be a white could it be a black thing?

Must be the reason I'm the captain

Must be the reason I overlapped him

'Cause I'm dedicated

Me I could have got relegated

Imagine I would have hesitated

Where would I be if I never made it?

But I did

Now I'm in a new 7 bedroom crib

with spotlights in the ceiling it's sick

No bean bag I've got a Lamborghini on the ramp

And I don't use it

I've got a grand piano in front of

the Mona and everything c*****e white

But I don't get to see it much these days

'cause I'm always out taking a flight

Thinking about before it all went bad

Never got dissed off my real dad

And now he tells people that I never give him anything

As if he was there from scratch

How did it get so negative

Between old friends and fake relatives

I've come quite far on a reminisce

To get rid of these toxic energies

An old friend tells people that I put money on his head

As if I'm still pissed off

And we was friends from about year 9

And he tried to get my door kicked off

C*****e's one hell of a drug,

Yeah I've seen what it does

I watched man fall from the mountains

Turned from a bad boy to a scruff

I'm still out here holding it up

I'm still backstage holding a cup

Dark is still my co-defendant

I'm in a film about money and drugs

I told my agent,

"Tell Guy Ritchie he don't need to pay me"

As I was watching Snatch,

That's my all time favourite gangster movie

I ended up in the GR,

Singing Irish songs to the ukulele

Sophisticated conversation,

Had me feeling so creative (So creative)

I feel detached from reality,

Now I'm on a footballer's salary

I flew to Rome,

and the roof of the Sistine chapel

Look like an art gallery

Me I got close to insanity

On the roads I am moving raggity

Now I'm in the Vatican, thinking strategy

Can't think of an emcee in my category

All this from a 1-bedroom flat

I wanted a reminder not to look back

That's the reason why,

I got 'King of the North' tattooed

Right across my six-pack

And the artist came from Italia,

The home of the mafia

I'm never in debt, I'm a Lannister,

you know I'm of a different calibre

I climbed to the top without a banister

And last year got smashed, no manager

Man can say what they want but I'll

never let anyone assassinate my character

Some relationships don't work

And the separation hurts

I know these are simple words

But I always told her I loved her first

I used to be so immature

Even though the love was pure

I was never always all yours

Some of them nights on tour

You could've walked out through the open door

When the love turned into a war

And now I'm gonna buy you a house so you know

you're secure (Sometimes I don't know, no no no)

Let me get it off my chest

(Sometimes I don't know, no no no)

Turns out how no matter how much money I make I still

can't pay to correct (Sometimes I don't know, no no no)

All of the trauma it still feels fresh,

But never again will that get me depressed

Don't mind going out as a legend as

long as I'm known as Manchester's best

Sometimes I don't know, no no no

Sometimes I don't know, no no no

Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh

Sometimes I don't know,

Sometimes I don't know, no no no

Sometimes I don't know, no no no

Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh

Sometimes I don't know
