Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want
Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want
I don’t really care about anybody
You wanna talk about they’re better when I’ve never heard them body
One bloody tune in their life bloody busy bodies
While I’m too busy killing them back to back
Brudda it’s track to track
Who wanna talk bout Shotty
Two bottles in my hand drink champ like Nore
And I’m not sorry
Shell down dance like a nutcase
MC’s flipping looking at me like fuck sake
Man have no mercy Cobra Kai thirsty
I penetrate beats like Lewis did Scherzi
Go and ask Goodz my don knows I’m Durrty
The real definition of a certi
Ask about man
The guy that you don’t wanna take on
The DnB equivalent to Raekwon
Riding the riddim so very eloquently
Elevating never gently
Going in a generating energy so elegantly
What
God sonic my speed so demonic
I part the sea’s with plutonic bows of knowledge
Your flows embryonic like part three of The Chronic
You need to detox you’re sick and I’ve got the tonic
Symbolic and plus I’m on it it’s Harry Shotta iconic
In the pocket of the beat when I plug the mic in the socket
Then rock it on any topic I duppy it when I drop it
Got Genesis on the premises begging for man to stop it
Blimey try me you don’t want war
You don’t want cor
Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want
Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want
Yeah
I don’t really care about anybody either
Not a chief for you to be playing with
I’m a proper geezer
Toppa toppa with Shotta know it’s a lot of heat
Beat rocker top of the league with speech that can drop a speaker
Its easy to see that G’s an anomaly me and freezing are peas in a pod
My P’s got apostrophes
That means that I go money sonny Jim I’m speaking property
And no I’m not a novice I’m on it speak to me properly
Harry I’m a be honest with you
I felt kind of nervous following you
I know a lot of man won’t say
But I’m big enough to admit it man I’m a big dude
You’re killer in the game, I’ve been killing it too
Let me finish this tune with a finishing move
Oi Shapes switch up the beat let me show these man what Genesis do
Elijah the villain no lies just vibes on a riddim
Cold rhymes no sign independent
Ice in the pendent no co signs needed to get it
Both sides of my mind are developed
So nice with the pen but I don’t write I just tell em
Tell em if you’re sending for Genny you’ll get a shelling
My sentence is made of venom I’ll sever your cerebellum
I’m seven levels ahead a behead em dead em and shred em
Tell em I’m something advance
I will kill a mans vibe I will done a mans dance
Twenty deep in the rave and none of dance
The S dropped the riddim and I spun a man fast
Tell em I’m something advance
I will kill a mans vibe I will done a mans dance
Twenty deep in the rave and none of dance
When I come to battle it’s not about bars
Tell em I’m something advance
I will kill a mans vibe I will done a mans dance
Twenty deep in the rave and none of dance
The S dropped the riddim and I spun a man fast
Tell em I’m something advance
I will kill a mans vibe I will done a mans dance
Twenty deep in the rave and none of dance
When I come to battle it’s not about bars
Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want
Cor blimey, cor blimey, cor blimey
Try me you don’t war, you don’t want

Mad one that one there is a mad one
Turn up the bass watch the place do a mad one
Man turn mad gally move on a mad one
That one there don’t care she a mad one
180 on the dash that’s a mad one
See them man they dash on a mad one
See us tear up the track that’s a mad one
Jump in the crowd mosh pit on a mad one
Ooooh what! I’m on a mad one
See me at the show with a bad one
Hand on her backside and she got a fat one
I’m at the dealers I want that one and that one
Came in a white one left in a black one
Turned off the traction and then put my tracks on
Turned on race mode then put the taps on
Foot to the floor now it’s time for some action
Man they can’t move like us
Can’t come through like us
Man a get rude and get moved right up
I will mess your mood right up
Who’s like us? None of them do like us
That’s why none of them fools like us
If the shoe fits then please throw a fit
But none of you ain’t got shoes like us
Mad one that one there is a mad one
Turn up the bass watch the place do a mad one
Man turn mad gally move on a mad one
That one there don’t care she a mad one
180 on the dash that’s a mad one
See them man they dash on a mad one
See us tear up the track that’s a mad one
Jump in the crowd mosh pit on a mad one
You can ask Gen Elijah I’m on a mad ting
Young Raiden I am Grime team captain
I don’t do it for the gram my life’s kind of mad right now
Can’t fit it in a caption
I know a picture might speak a thousand words
But it’s still all talk and no action
Meanwhile I’m in the real world getting active
Tryn’a cop pies and increase the fractions
Do a little bit of music too when I feel like it
To be honest it’s random
Only went studio to chill with the goons
Two twos I’m walking out with an anthem
I wouldn’t really know bout relaxing
I’ve been around for a while like Van Basten
Because you think that you know me
Actually they already know from New York To Clapton
Mad one that one there is a mad one
Turn up the bass watch the place do a mad one
Man turn mad gally move on a mad one
That one there don’t care she a mad one
180 on the dash that’s a mad one
See them man they dash on a mad one
See us tear up the track that’s a mad one
Jump in the crowd mosh pit on a mad one
No face lowercase no cappin
Still flying them birds no flapping
Lord of the boozer Frodo Laggins
Solo flow Soho always bagging
Them lot always lacking
I spunk reddies but I’m still always stacking
We get shit cracking financial backing lb’s on a plane with tracking
Mad one madness current account gymnastics
Barclays business on backflips
None of my reddies are plastic
Supply and demand but is your product elastic
What do you know about business?
What do you know about putting pressure on a witness?
Still shifting big bits logistics
Broke then you better find a quick fix
Mad one that one there is a mad one
Turn up the bass watch the place do a mad one
Man turn mad gally move on a mad one
That one there don’t care she a mad one
180 on the dash that’s a mad one
See them man they dash on a mad one
See us tear up the track that’s a mad one
Jump in the crowd mosh pit on a mad one

I told you one day (Ah ah)
This ting was gonna go my way (Ah ah)
See my mumma used to pray (Ah ah)
That blessings would come my way
They said no way, they said no way
16 bars just made 10K
And I’ve been making moves like this from day
No fanfair, no front page
I just want family I don’t want fame
But pack out the rave cos they know my name
And if they weren’t sure ‘bout me when they came
By the time they leave they don’t leave how they came (true)
Big up the ones that came through
Got a t shirt and a tape too
I was so close to a breakdown
Turned it around to a breakthrough
If you don’t make it you gotta make do
Doing me put me in a great mood
In a world full of lies you gotta stay true
Believe in you that’s a great move
Tell em move, come out the way
Big man ting I ain’t come out to play
Mummy didn’t raise no fool anyway
I don’t take no chat or let em chat any way
Any way chat don’t hold any weight
Time is a diamond too many waste
Too many waste man thinking the trap is a race but it ain’t
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
I told you one day (Ah ah)
This ting was gonna go my way (Ah ah)
See my mumma used to pray (Ah ah)
That blessings would come my way
I told you one day (Ah ah)
This ting was gonna go my way (Ah ah)
See my mumma used to pray (Ah ah)
That blessings would come my way
I was try’na find peace, I lost my zen but I found it
Countryside bumpkin back from the mountains
Howling, try’na turn a penny in to thousands
Hungry, never played games like Dhalsim
Trust me never tried acting bad
Half of these MC’s are acting
Cognac in my elixir helps paint the picture
Don’t put my name in a mixer
Yeah that’s facts, grew up on Gen my bro that’s facts
Nine years old with the flow that’s facts
I can never quit rap man already I’m attached
Yeah I do it for the love but I wanna make racks
Anti but I might move to your aunty
Other than that I don’t wanna chat
Not everyone’s real but everyone raps
I’m amazing in fact so I’m taking it back
I told you one day (Ah ah)
This ting was gonna go my way (Ah ah)
See my mumma used to pray (Ah ah)
That blessings would come my way
I told you one day
This ting was gonna go my way
See my mumma used to pray
That blessings would come my way
I’m blessed with blessings on blessings
I’m blessed with blessings on blessings
I’m blessed with blessings on blessings
I’m blessed with blessings on blessings
I’m blessed with blessings on blessings
I’m blessed

One of these days
We’ll live like they do in those movie screens
We’ll get all those things we worked for you’ll see
Just hold I’ll give you all your dreams
One of these days
I was a prick from the start
Dealing with things that I couldn’t really grasp
And I would always ask you for more
And you’d always give me more than I’d ask
But I’d throw it back in you face
Then apologise and say it’s all in the past
Try’na give you my life
And at the sae time my life’s falling apart
But all in the dark will come to the light
You feel it inside when somethings just right
And we’ve come to far to just chuck it in right
And if I’m alive you’re the love of my life
Say mums
I took my mothers advice
Whatever she’s worth to you double the price
Cos no one else stuck through the troubling times
So now when I rise it’s just us on the flight
It was a comedy, cos we could barely afford economy
You wanted another holiday
Are you mad in this economy
But you worked so hard
And not once did you get on to me
And say I know this is your dream
But it might not work out properly
One of these days
We’ll live like they do in those movie screens
We’ll get all those things we worked for you’ll see
Just hold I’ll give you all your dreams
One of these days
We’ll live like they do in those movie screens
We’ll get all those things we worked for you’ll see
Just hold I’ll give you all your dreams
One of these days
For you it was never the money
As long as the kids ain’t hungry
The mortgage is paid, the bills ain’t late
Then it’s all great and we’re comfy
And yeah you wanted a little more
But me I always wanted it all
And it always had to be on my terms
And many times that pride let me to fall
And only you were there to lift my up
Hold me down and pick me up
Ha nah I mean literally I ain’t have no car
You had to pick me up
Drop me off at Terry’s yard
Cos I had an album to finish up
Yeah I got about 2 tracks to do
I’ll drop you a text when I finish up
Ha how times have changed
I keep telling you I might by the Range
And yeah I don’t really need it
But I just wanna flex a little I might a chain
A chain of restaurants and you can have
Whatever of the rest you want
I don’t even really do this for me
I do this all for you, every song
One of these days
We’ll live like they do in those movie screens
We’ll get all those things we worked for you’ll see
Just hold I’ll give you all your dreams
One of these days
We’ll live like they do in those movie screens
We’ll get all those things we worked for you’ll see
Just hold I’ll give you all your dreams
One of these days

A Word

Sometimes only you know what you need to do
Sometimes only you not you’re trying to say
Sometimes only you not what you need to hear
So have a word with yourself mate
Have a word with yourself
Bruv can we have a word?
A quick one I don’t wanna hold you
Mate I just wanna tell you
I few things I haven’t told you
First of all I’m proud of you
I see you out here doing it
You know I know your potential
I just don’t wanna see you ruin it
So it’s always family first
I know you wanna give em all they deserve
But money never buys love
So make sure it’s love that comes first
I know you’re in love with the work
But one day that bubble will burst
But until then you’ve done alright
You done know you could have done worst
Yeah
I know it seems like sometimes out here
Things don’t ever go right
I know it feels like out here sometimes
It’s just never your time
I know the dreams and I know the nightmares
You see every night
I know what you need to tell yourself cos
Sometimes only you know what you need to do
Sometimes only you not you’re trying to say
Sometimes only you not what you need to hear
So have a word with yourself mate
Have a word with yourself
Mate you’re doing great
But we both know you could do better
Bruv they’ll let you skate
But I love you so I can’t let ya
This is an open letter
Some constructive criticism
And it’s funny the things you miss
While you keep going on about vision
You got friends that you don’t even see
Kids got Grandparents they ain’t even meet
You’re talking about going Japan
What about Dominica you ain’t even been
Or Africa you ain’t saving yourself
Talking about you’re saving the scene
What cos you couldn’t get a Mike Skinner feature
Now you’re sounding the same as The Streets
I know it seems like sometimes out here
Things don’t ever go right
I know it feels like out here sometimes
It’s just never your time
I know the dreams and I know the nightmares
You see every night
I know what you need to tell yourself cos
Sometimes only you know what you need to do
Sometimes only you not you’re trying to say
Sometimes only you not what you need to hear
So have a word with yourself mate
Have a word with yourself

AMAHL FAROUK (LP)
by Tesla's Ghost
supported by 5 fans who also own “Vision”
High priest of the Dark Fleet / Saturn Division mythos returns with his third masterpiece in ten months, another crucial transmission from the shadow-shrouded underworld beneath mainstream hip-hop’s posturelands. TG’s flow is more astonishing than ever here; an enigmatic fusillade of metaphor and counter-metaphor that doubtless has the same capacity for creating telepathic illusions as the titular supervillain. ‘Amahl Farouk’ blazes unimaginable new trails for rap music. Essential.
