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
