Pricks

(albüm: Grime MC - 2019)

Used to think my style didn't fit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Lost motivation to spit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Used to care about views and clicks 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Bare industry politics 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks

Don't ask me for no clean version of my riddim
You can't ask Denzel for a clean version of Training Day
Take what you're given
There ain't no clean version of The Equalizer
There ain't no clean Taking of Pelham
There ain't no clean version of Michelangelo's artwork with a penis hidden
I got no record deal, never had one
Got no manager, never had one
Got no stylist, never had one
Got no publisher, never had one
Got no P.A, never had one
Got no P.R, never had one
Ain't nobody telling me nutting about my career
From they never had one
Fam, I got man tryna tell me about mix
About licks?
Fucking pricks
Put 'em on the decks, they can't mix
CD Js, they can't mix
Studio desk, they can't mix
Don't tell me nutting about mix
Man think they're big, Quincey Jones out here, fam
'Til they catch 2 licks
Yo, is it me, or is everyone just having bare meetings?
Bare coffee drinking and eating
Dead vibes
I ain't reaching
You man are tryna make boardroom bangers on conference call-out speakers
Sorry fam, but my calendar don't rate meetings
Don't catch feelings
Not gonna lie, I know where I'm heading
Not gonna lie, music's spreading
Not gonna lie, so you man are bredding
Not gonna lie
All these 10 man CC'd emails do my head in
Not gonna lie
Only time I pose for the contract was on my wedding
Not gonna lie
Fucking industry pricks
It's their job to gas you up quick
Anything happens to you right now, none of these man are gonna give 2 shits
My advice for the yutes out there right now, MC'ing in the bits
Jump on the mic and make them hits
Stop listening to all these pricks
The route the JME took was different to the route that Jaykae took
And that was different to the route that P Money took
And that was different to the route that AJ took
And that's different to the route that you're gonna take
The blueprint is to carve your own way
Us man opened doors, but once you get through
You have to solve the maze, serious

Used to think my style didn't fit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Lost motivation to spit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Used to care about views and clicks 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Bare industry politics 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Used to think my style didn't fit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Lost motivation to spit 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Used to care about views and clicks 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks
Bare industry politics 'til I stopped listening to all these pricks

Pricks
So many pricks everywhere
Fucking pricks
Fucking pricks everywhere
Trying to rinse man, pricks
So many pricks everywhere
Fucking pricks
