M.E.N II - Bugzy Malone.mp3

[00:01.46]Yo
[00:04.84]Bugzy Malone
[00:09.34]You know
[00:12.96]I hit the top like I don't know what
[00:15.02]Now 500's Play-Doh gwop
[00:16.59]And these man tryna take my spot when
[00:18.60]I'm sitting at home with writer's block
[00:20.16]But there's not an emcee as eloquent as me
[00:22.19]Let me get that clear
[00:23.26]And my accountant said,
[00:24.36]I can make a million and not make a track this year
[00:26.37]Now how's that for a turnover?
[00:28.08]I made a gilet and a holster
[00:30.08]Felt like I looked in the mirror
[00:31.93]When I seen the new JD poster
[00:33.52]And it sold out so fast,
[00:35.08]They want me to sign contracts like they're O2 or Voda
[00:37.92]In exchange for exposure
[00:39.69]But still I don't feel any closer to the real answer
[00:42.21]Why did I wanna be a gangster?
[00:43.96]When will I get rid of this pain?
[00:45.64]Feels like I'm in handcuffs
[00:47.35]I wanna fly to the south of France
[00:49.09]I wanna learn how to Salsa dance
[00:50.73]The chef come here
[00:51.91]'Cause everybody in the restaurant kept watching man
[00:54.14]And I'm thinking "wait are they watching man?"
[00:55.97]Did he think I'm a p***k, or are they just secret fans?
[00:58.56]Blessed by a God, fear no man
[01:00.17]But my heart still beats when I see a police van
[01:02.10]I was hungover
[01:02.91]In Phuket I couldn't stay sober
[01:04.55]I needed a break from pulling a straight face,
[01:06.95]I don't play poker
[01:08.01]I was out there looking at the pelicans
[01:09.98]Stroking the tigers and elephants
[01:11.76]Emcees all fighting for relevance
[01:13.56]But I'm on the next level of eloquence
[01:15.27]Where do I get it from?
[01:16.54]Did I get it from him?
[01:17.61]Could it be a white could it be a black thing?
[01:19.39]Must be the reason I'm the captain
[01:20.89]Must be the reason I overlapped him
[01:22.70]'Cause I'm dedicated
[01:23.59]Me I could have got relegated
[01:25.22]Imagine I would have hesitated
[01:26.94]Where would I be if I never made it?
[01:28.69]But I did
[01:29.36]Now I'm in a new 7 bedroom crib
[01:30.81]with spotlights in the ceiling it's sick
[01:32.66]No bean bag I've got a Lamborghini on the ramp
[01:35.28]And I don't use it
[01:36.18]I've got a grand piano in front of
[01:37.79]the Mona and everything c*****e white
[01:39.53]But I don't get to see it much these days
[01:41.24]'cause I'm always out taking a flight
[01:42.99]Thinking about before it all went bad
[01:44.93]Never got dissed off my real dad
[01:46.45]And now he tells people that I never give him anything
[01:48.66]As if he was there from scratch
[01:49.94]How did it get so negative
[01:51.36]Between old friends and fake relatives
[01:53.22]I've come quite far on a reminisce
[01:54.88]To get rid of these toxic energies
[01:56.56]An old friend tells people that I put money on his head
[01:59.13]As if I'm still pissed off
[02:00.29]And we was friends from about year 9
[02:01.95]And he tried to get my door kicked off
[02:03.83]C*****e's one hell of a drug,
[02:05.12]Yeah I've seen what it does
[02:06.80]I watched man fall from the mountains
[02:08.61]Turned from a bad boy to a scruff
[02:10.43]I'm still out here holding it up
[02:12.06]I'm still backstage holding a cup
[02:13.66]Dark is still my co-defendant
[02:15.30]I'm in a film about money and drugs
[02:17.06]I told my agent,
[02:18.38]"Tell Guy Ritchie he don't need to pay me"
[02:20.66]As I was watching Snatch,
[02:21.99]That's my all time favourite gangster movie
[02:24.12]I ended up in the GR,
[02:25.51]Singing Irish songs to the ukulele
[02:27.27]Sophisticated conversation,
[02:29.10]Had me feeling so creative (So creative)
[02:31.82]I feel detached from reality,
[02:33.53]Now I'm on a footballer's salary
[02:35.11]I flew to Rome,
[02:36.00]and the roof of the Sistine chapel
[02:37.40]Look like an art gallery
[02:38.69]Me I got close to insanity
[02:40.23]On the roads I am moving raggity
[02:41.97]Now I'm in the Vatican, thinking strategy
[02:43.68]Can't think of an emcee in my category
[02:45.41]All this from a 1-bedroom flat
[02:46.95]I wanted a reminder not to look back
[02:48.59]That's the reason why,
[02:49.47]I got 'King of the North' tattooed
[02:51.04]Right across my six-pack
[02:52.15]And the artist came from Italia,
[02:53.52]The home of the mafia
[02:55.37]I'm never in debt, I'm a Lannister,
[02:57.17]you know I'm of a different calibre
[02:58.92]I climbed to the top without a banister
[03:00.49]And last year got smashed, no manager
[03:02.21]Man can say what they want but I'll
[03:03.90]never let anyone assassinate my character
[03:05.59]Some relationships don't work
[03:07.17]And the separation hurts
[03:08.91]I know these are simple words
[03:10.53]But I always told her I loved her first
[03:12.47]I used to be so immature
[03:14.14]Even though the love was pure
[03:15.85]I was never always all yours
[03:17.50]Some of them nights on tour
[03:19.44]You could've walked out through the open door
[03:21.03]When the love turned into a war
[03:22.75]And now I'm gonna buy you a house so you know
[03:25.88]you're secure (Sometimes I don't know, no no no)
[03:28.75]Let me get it off my chest
[03:29.87](Sometimes I don't know, no no no)
[03:30.45]Turns out how no matter how much money I make I still
[03:32.58]can't pay to correct (Sometimes I don't know, no no no)
[03:34.04]All of the trauma it still feels fresh,
[03:35.20]But never again will that get me depressed
[03:36.94]Don't mind going out as a legend as
[03:38.60]long as I'm known as Manchester's best
[03:41.06]Sometimes I don't know, no no no
[03:43.12]Sometimes I don't know, no no no
[03:46.69]Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh
[03:50.28]Sometimes I don't know,
[03:54.03]Sometimes I don't know, no no no
[03:57.11]Sometimes I don't know, no no no
[04:00.66]Sometimes I don't kno- oh oh oh
[04:03.77]Sometimes I don't know
