Grime Ain’t Dead
[Intro]
Oi Teddy, you went psycho on this one (Teddy)
Disgusting

[Verse 1]
All I know is darkness and digits (Yeah)
I'm from Bow E3, not Chiswick (Eastside)
Miss me with the hype and the gimmicks (Miss me)
Miss me I ain't in it, bin it (Yeah)
I'd still get more birds than you
If you pull up in a Rolls and I pull up in a Civic
Better watch these birds, they'll have you in the clinic
Talking bout I'm just checking up innit, is it?
Everybody is a critic
But don't test my spirit
I ain't got no limit, I ain't got no minutes
I ain't got no time, it's a flying visit
You ain't got no height, you're a midget
Now bury that big man talk, it's dead, just kill it
You ain't ever been a big man, just admit it
You ain't ever been a big man, you don't live it
Tell me again, I'll tell you again
I'm 10 out of 10, don't break, don't bend
Don't know about them, don't mix or blend
Don't ask me again, I won't tell you again
No repetition, restrict your diction
These pricks want no friction, opposition
Ammunition sends you to the physician
[Hook]
Grime ain't dead, I'm still breathing
Grime ain't dead, no one's grieving
Come against me? You must be dreaming
I said what I said, God bless and good evening
Grime ain't dead, I'm still breathing
Grime ain't dead, no one's grieving
Come against me? You must be dreaming
I said what I said, God bless and good evening

[Verse 2]
I'm good in the manor, good in the hood
Good in the shoobz
Good everywhere, it's not misunderstood
That I do what I want, yeah
I do what they can't and the wish that they could
And I wouldn't swap places with them if I could
I swap Kelly with Kim, and I give her the wood
Now she can't see the trees through the woods
Like I weren't just a regular African pitney
And back in the 90's was rough, and they called me a skoob
I ain't even gonna dwell on that
I done well, I been hell and back
I'm from the LDN and we set nuff trend
We don't beg, no friend, go tell 'em that
In fact, if your just full of big chat, get your melon cracked
And get your name put in a pack
All the youngers copping a pack, who's selling that?
Pure disrespect, best respect my intellect
Last time I checked, I've been a vet
What disconnect?
Last time I checked, it's been accepted, with no exception
I been top 2 selected I'm 1 and 2, and I'm unaffected
I'm 1 and 2 you all know who the best is
Don't know who the rest is, don't get me restless
[Hook]
Grime ain't dead, I'm still breathing
Grime ain't dead, no one's grieving
Come against me? You must be dreaming
I said what I said, God bless and good evening
Grime ain't dead, I'm still breathing
Grime ain't dead, mo one's grieving
Come against me? You must be dreaming
I said what I said, God bless and good evening

[Verse 3]
It's kinda deep, you better pree and peep
And mind what you speak, they say talk is cheap
So keep it short and sweet, I said I can't peak
I've got a clean sheet, why would I take a seat?
Why would I take shit, and be in shit's creek?
When I can take a leak, I'm on a winning streak
And just chill and sleep, I don't beg beef
They wanna gimme grief, I'm just grinning teeth
I've got a smile to the left and the right of my face
And it can't be erased, but just in case
Got a gorgeous ting coming over my place
Gonna hit it from the back while gripping that waist
Gonna give her that pace, gonna do it bait face
Just play your position, and hold your space
When you got beer budget and champagne taste
Who's playing it safe?
