Next Door

(album: little BIG Man - 2021)

Two shootings on the same day
Them full of action, them nah play play
I lost my marbles in the same game
Retaliation takes away pain
Mum heard about it and said, "Stay safe"
Laugh to myself and hugged her same way
Cah she don't know she lost me time ago
Right now I'm probably on my 8th 8
My next door neighbour tried to rob me
My zombie nearly turned him zombie
I went to check him in the hospital
He knew I was right, he couldn't wrong me
Cah man ain't taking violation
And man ain't talking in them stations
And if I'm walking with my blade then
I'm never slipping on these pavements
It's like I'm seeing something different to you
When we flick through the news
I've seen oops that have died
You see innocents yutes
I've seen mums that are crying
Thinking why is she lying?
Thinking why don't she tell them
What he really was like?
How much he used to ride
And he scarred me for life
But we just caught him slipping
At the barbers tonight
They say it's unfortunate
But it can't be this time
Because if it wasn't her
Then it be my mother crying

Still we moving, then we're out
Food up in the pot
Food up in the couch
Get it by the box
Move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about
Doing it a lot, moving then we're out
Food up in the pot
Food up in the couch
Get it by the box
Move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about

Woke up this morning, checked my Insta
I see my bredrin getting gripsed up
My sister's saying that's a minor
But she don't see the bigger picture
She said don't go do nothing stupid
Laughed to myself and kept it moving
Cah man ain't taking violations
And you're my G so they're my pagans so
Fam, link up, ride out in the hours (In the hours)
We gon' splash everybody in the showers (In the showers)
Gang, gang, suck your mum, you're all clowns (You're all clowns)
He was running for his life like a coward
(Why you running?)
(Why you running?) Dip him down (Dip him down)
Trip him down, stick, stick, stick and bounce (Stick and bounce)
Where's his phone (Where's the phone?)
Whip it out (Whip it, whip it)
That was earlier, pussy, this is now (This is now)
Post a video up on his account
Someone's ringing so we ring, ring it out (Ring it out)
We're zinging out, listening to big amounts (Big amounts)
They say we went overboard, let him drown (Let him drown)
How many times have I caught man slipping?
Run man down in my Nikes or slippers
Hand got stuck, but I kept on sticking
Call me the gift that keeps on giving
Dsquared2 jeans when I stepped in Timbs
Got man's blade when I got my ting
Next door neighbour or next of kin
Run man down or do man in

Doing it a lot
Moving, then were out
Food up in the pot
Food up in the couch
Get it by the box
Move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about
Doing it a lot, moving then we're out
Food up in the pot
Food up in the couch
Get it by the box
Move it by the ounce
She ain't never liked it, baby, that's what we're about

(Jerol, it's Simz
My brother showed me a video of you and his friend fighting or something earlier
I was just calling you, like I'm just, I dunno, I called you three times now, but you're not answering so
Just tryna find out what's going on, but ring me because I wanna make sure you'll still meet up
Before something stupid happens
Because he's gonna be an uncle and he has to live with that, you know what I'm saying?
Anyway, just call me back when you get this
I'm just checking in to see if you're cool, alright?
Alright, I'll speak to you in a bit, bye, bye)
