lyrics

(JND)
I'm dropping Bradford raps; superfly/
Beyond the comprehension of you stupid types who are new to mics/
You cats are getting neutered while I'm a vet staying true with rhymes/
Killing off you call of duty newbie types/
If you spark a doobie, high as ozone/
I'm supplying dope flows just to complement the nicest homegrown/
And rightly so, bro/ but if it's summat less/
It's summat I can't stomach yet, there's plenty of you loving it/
I'm tired of you lot with the same style, never saying much/
Over bassline beats getting played in clubs/
I guess that’s what you really love but really love?/
Where’s the substance, where's the flavour? Oh, there isn't much/
I'll never dumb it down, but you should smarten up/
If you're gonna do it, do it justice, but you hardly could/
And what I fail to fathom is the large demand for it/
But I ‘spose that goes for brown addicts as well as heads that bounce to shhhh//

(ExP)
I spit the Leeds stuff, superfly/
...These days Youtube decides who survives/
...How many views and likes, on your latest upload of useless shh/
Jus make sure the video directors do it right/
...Doesn’t even matter what the music’s like/
It’s suicide to choose a mic and not think what your tune looks like/
After all “it’s too hard to take in all the words”/
And when was the last time your favourite rapper made a proper verse/
People need to force feed their eyes before their ears/
Beauty was once more than skin deep, now that’s all there is/
And underneath’s an ugly ___ who leaves before you met her/
For weeks later you try and think back and can’t remember/
So what was number one a month ago, just another bloke/
Or woman who was humming nothing but a bunch of smoke/
And they wonder why the fruit of UK talent couldn’t grow/
Cos there’s so many weeds in the way the sun just doesn’t show//

(Addverse)
My style’s Sinoptic and superfly/
Star Trooper slash a Light Saber-toothed tiger with a human vibe/
I keep it true and let the passion help me stay alive/
Many of these new school artists are displaying lies/
For me it’s never that, most of them pretend to rap/
So ten times out of ten my tiny temper’s gonna snap/
You feel the passion of it?/
One hell of a hot topic, most guys who rock the mic are shh like a dog squatting/
And I have not forgotten, how I have a lot in common/
Except the rhymes I write are not as whack and not as often/
I want some intellect in anything of interest/
When listening to lyrics that another living has said/
And I will not invest in anything that’s any less/
Especially if any press have said their music’s at its best/
I find it patronising – I’ll be the judge of that/
There's no point in advertising any of your f_____//
