Skepta - Listen Up lyrics
Skepta [Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr.] Tottenham, London, England, U.K. 🇬🇧
[Skepta - Listen Up lyrics]
Listen up, listen up yeah
I'm a Welbourne warrior, St Paul's soldier
Northumberland park, next door neighbour
Eskimo raver, L-stone visitor
Meridian resident
See me in Manny with President
Showaman or south soldiers
Don't fear olders, I never had youngers
Age ain't nothin' but numbers
My seventeen year olds roll with pumpers
I'mma temple tourer, champagne pourer
Winchmore warrior, Class A courier
Grime scene ambassador, Duppy maker
Four four saviour, Ally Pally jungle raver
Entry ticket and a borer fresh hair cut
With a side partin' and a border
Selby Centre explorer private caller ignorer
Go on then
Everybody knows Skepta, I'm about
I should change my name to Beadle
In a dance I get evil i get so many reloads
Somebody better bring another needle
I'm Dizzee Rascal, Kano, Wiley and Lethal
The sequel
I'm back to business, playtime's over
I've gotta stand up tall
Represent my home sweet home for my UK people
Listen up closely, pay attention
Pay attention i blaze any one of these guys
Just give me one mic
One blue Rizla and a Benson
I'm not an easy clash
Ask tiomi yie wun sen den sung
I flow darker than my skin complexion
Now I get big man money like
I was claiming a pension
But you're one of them boys from the
Past who gets asked a question
Hasn't got the answer now you're looking in
All different directions
Asking your mates for suggestions
Little did you know, nobody knows the answer
So now you're asking the host of
The show to pass the question
You better than me
That's taking the piss like a two
And a half hour detention go on then
I call my album Greatest Hit's
'Cuz all my old music is
Better than your latest shit
Yeah he's alright, but I like the basic shit
I don't like too many words
In a sentence in unreal two weeks on remand
I don't talk like I done a life sentence
Nothing to prove I shot food
On the baitest strip
Long body Mondeo's, bright red XR2's
Bagging up in the baitest whips
Now I make the best Grime music
Some man run up in the booth and lose it
Start spittin' like Dipset
D-Block and G-Unit
Kano brought a new flow to the game
Now I look around
Ten million emcees in the Grime
Scene wanna use it
It's my job to make 'em look stupid
I bury emcees on pirate radio
Spit a big boy sixteen bar hot like tar
Hotter than Trinidad and Tobago
And man know what I'm like on a stage show
Four best crews in the game
I'm doin' it again
Them kinda lyrics send man up to the
Sky with two wings and a halo
None of these emcees want war with Skepta
I'm a Welbourne warrior, St Paul's soldier
Northumberland park, next door neighbour
Eskimo raver, L-stone visitor
Meridian resident
See me in Manny with President
Showaman or south soldiers
Don't fear olders, I never had youngers
Age ain't nothin' but numbers
My seventeen year olds roll with pumpers
I'mma temple tourer, champagne pourer
