True stories, I ain’t gotta lie in my raps
I was beside the feds with a 9 on my lap (Truss)
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
Big Smoke on the feature, come a long way from draws in a pouch
– Skepta
