It sounds like Nyge

Bring out the dots get back to basics (Turn)
If I get stopped it's back to basic
Bad B lost out my waps and laces
Ting set good no she can’t be basic (Turn turn)
Feds ask questions I get evasive
That’s no comment up in the station
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear I'm ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone back to basics (Switch)
No we ain't watching faces
Violate us man are catching cases
I was on the high road armed and dangerous
Stepping in some run away trainers
No introduction needed (Ice)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year it's only money I'm chasing (One)

Don't make me spend all my savings
Do it for the cause (Cause cause)
Go play the field gang fluent with the ball
Life is tough when you ain't with the law
Seven jails no you ain't been on tour (Turn)
You ain't ever been on license
feds still tryna put their boot through your door
Yo go there do it with the Rambo do it with a fours
Send this grub back and do it in a wave or do it in a storm
I just stabbed this nine shining I ain't even do it on my toes (One)
I can Bruck this grub into pebbles or do it on the low (S S S Suh)
They think I do ooh ooh (Turn)
Do it the gang dem do it on the road
Didn't they know it's the usual
Now me and Skep in the studio
Wrist all numb from the cuffs
So I just bust out my Cuban
Lord knows life was confusing
Now I'm just chuffed (S S S Suh)
No trim they don't care if my head back rough
Same way all of them gyally on us

Bring out the dots get back to basics
If I get stopped it's back to basic (Turn)
Bad B lost out my waps and laces
Ting set good no she can’t be basic (Turn turn)
Feds ask questions I get evasive
That’s no comment up in the station (Turn turn)
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear I'm ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone back to basics
No we ain't watching faces
Violate us man are catching cases
I was on the high road armed and dangerous
Stepping in some run away trainers
No introduction needed (Sexy)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year it's only money I'm chasing

True stories I ain't gotta lie in my raps
I was beside the feds with a 9 on my lap (Trust)
Gotta look straight forward try to relax
If I get pulled this time it's a wrap
And I still get flashbacks of the cold nights in the trap
And man slept on the floor no heater
Tottenham boy I put the T in Tanita (Ice)
On a first name basis with the shopkeeper (Wagwan)
And he already knows what I came for
Cling film and a Ribena (Ayy)
Big Smoke on the feature
Come a long way from draws in the pouch
Thirteen scores in my mouth from the same line
Tryna get all of it out (All of it)
Fast forward now I turned starboy
Man I don't stand on corners (Nah)
Two left feet when your diamond's dancing
Why your shine look so awkward (Huh)
It's one on the chorus with a bit of Skepta
That's what the gyal dem ordered (Mm mm)
And you better lock up your wife and daughters
Cause all my guys are ballers

Bring out the dots get back to basics
If I get stopped it's back to basic (Turn)
Bad B lost out down my waps and laces
Ting set good no she can’t be basic (Turn turn)
Feds ask questions I get evasive
That’s no comment up in the station (Turn turn)
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear I'm ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone back to basics (Ghost)
No we ain't watching faces
Violate us man are catching cases
I was on the high road armed and dangerous
Stepping in some run away trainers
No introduction needed (Shh)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year it's only money I'm chasing
