Verse 1 (Skepta)

Yeah

I met her on the high street, she too sweet

I said, “What’s good?”, She told me, “You’ll see”

Said she livin’ life like a movie

I said, come and teach me, you know I got the school fees

Ready or not, mandem with a few G’s

So where your friends at? I’m tryna get higher got the jetpack

Smile on my face when she text back

Said she don’t wanna play games, I respect that

No lies, man I’m tellin’ you the truth

Everything mad when I pull up with the goons
