Bugzy Malone
Fire In The Booth Part 2
[Verse 1: Bugzy Malone]
Me, I just got one question, who's doing it better?
I have to write to the judge through a letter
'Cause a victim told that I sick vendetta
'Cause his lips needed stitches
A precedent report
And I'm famous now, there's no bending the law
So I could get community service
And worst case, I could get back behind the door
Back to jail
And it's mad 'cause I can still remember the smell
The atmosphere, and the lightning
The way that your mind would get carried away in a cell
The silence speaks louder than the bell
That's been ringing for the past fifteen minutes
And we don't know if the kid's hurting himself
'Cause the officers don't care
They never asked how did he get here
He never had a dad, mum tried her best, but that didn't matter because the rent was so dear
That she couldn't cope sober
So she drank spirits and not beer
I'm talking about legless drunk
Then his stepdad hit him with a wreckless punch
And his mum turned her back
And that's when the care inside the kid was done
I'm talking about me, get it?
Being a rolemodel taking its toll, but I got this
I was only twelve years old when I got hit
Really I hope my stepdad'll watch this
Because I was only a kid
And I loved him more than anybody else
But he fucked it
How can you beat up somebody's mum
I just want him dead and I don’t even want justice
My little sister, yeah, that's his daughter
Between me and her is a little bit awkward
Because I remember when she said she hit my mum that night
Just to cover her father
I could forgive, but I cannot forget
No hard feelings have been hard
But as long as you do, well nothing else matters
Considering where we started
Considering this time last year I was stood here
Talking about Bury New Road
I was starving
I had drug money
But I didn't know about getting money from touring
And that's why I gotta thank Charlie
Because he showed me the ropes
And then left me to stand on my own two feet
Like Christopher Reeve before his spinal stopped working
And I've focused on evolution like Darwin
The minute 2016 kicked in, I stopped drinking
I don't wanna do parties
I hear my mans saying its curtains
So when I see him I'll hurt him
It's not fame when you tossing and turning
And watch money when your money
When you can't stop mummy from hurting
And the row's not dead, because the minutes still burstin'
An ID means that they see him in person
The bally was working and now the witnesses are uncertain
I believe in God; I don't trust the religion
I don't get how Mary can be a virgin
Still I just got one question, somebody tell me
Who's doing it better?
Who got these MCs dissing each other?
The brand new EP is out now
Now I went I took a mugshot and used it as the front cover
Somebody twisted it up and created a story, to make me look like a robber
I thought I'd sit back and watch the commotion
And that's why I didn't say nothing on twitter
I'm out

BBC 1Xtra, Fire in the Booth

[Verse 2: Bugzy Malone]
It's been a year and I see things clear
Now I been training and I don't feel no fear
Now they ask if I'm living down here
Now I tell them "No" I still get about Manny in my Berghaus
I told them to walk with me the whole tour sold out
What a turn-up
Still got to the girl's house
And I know man with ringers all ready to burn out
I hope I don't need them
This year I don't wanna risk my freedom
Because I know that I got shows in Sweden
And I've been booked all over festival seasons
I got Parklife, then I got Wireless, then I got Glastonbury
Man tried it with me last year and got fed to the tigers
'0161 spreading like a virus
2016 has got them pulling off stunts like a BMX biker
Not everybody's gonna like it
So they'll bring an article out just to try and rewind ya'
They said I went running in a Jewelers
Do they think I'm stupid?
I got music videos, looking like movies
Looking at one of the best to ever do this
Why would I start chasing guys?
For a couple of watches with ice
So I sat watching haters celebrating
Bugzy Malone, "Facing Time", but that's the EP
And the same people sharing the Artwork daily
You can't see me on CCTV
Badding enough now I got clothes in JD
It's nothing friendly this year
Me, I'm trying to save for a Bentley this year
So I started my own label, it Ill-Gotten Records
And that's gonna pay me this year
More time man are gonna hate me this year
But the same man are gonna rate me next year
'Cause I created a blueprint from out of town
To show what it takes to get here
I don't do blaze, and I don't like drinking
I spend twenty-four hours in a days thinking
I watched all the big guys shrinking
And the Bugzy Malone business line keeps ringing
It's like I got a '3310 with links in
Bare new lyrics and flows
It's like I'm sat there bagging up O's
And the haze is stinking, the line is [..ringing..]
Put it this way, when I see set
Man are gonna have to do a lot of explaining
I'm one of the best, I got the game changing
Ask them man who made it, start raining
Who made the grime scene entertaining?
I don't know, I'm just saying
I disappeared for a week, and man thought it was peak
And put out a tweet, well I call this the David Blaine
Why? 'Cause the EP's banging and them man know it
I put manny on the map last year
And the '01 to the '61 keeps growing
'Dem man are Chameleons
And right now their true colours have started showing
They want me out of the game, I'm not going
Tell them go write me another poem
I'm Bugzy Malone, eugh!
I know certain man want me to allow them
Why? 'Cause I got an email in my inbox
Asking me if I wanna do joint album
But I thought my man thought I was a dickhead
And I never would've been nothing without him
People lie; numbers don't
Right now the numbers got them counting
Words mean 'noting if you don't do well
You're not popping if your shit don't sell
You promoted my new EP too
"Congratulations you played yourself"
"Congratulations you played yourself"
"Congratulations you played yourself"
Mad 'ting, I'm like Batman to my whole town
It's mad, I bought a brand new RS3
Because it's small and fast
Took it to the body shop, told them, "I need it all in black"
The first day I drove it
A van pulled out on me and we just crashed
I was sat there, surrounded by smoke and air bags
I jumped out and the van was flipped with its window smashed
The car was a write off so I just kept it moving rags
Because I had a photoshoot, with Supply and Demand
Watch the collab but, watch this
Road is road, and lyrical beef is lyrical beef
And they made an article to make me look like I'm a thief
And then got my songs taken off iTunes
See, me, I won't sleep
Until I find out which MC has tried sabotaging me
And I'm out
[Outro: Bugzy Malone & Charlie Sloth]
Bugzy Malone! '0161
Yeah! That means Manchester's in the building
And we're here to stay
2016! Groggy season
Notin' friendly right now
Bugzy Malone!
