I remember when Justin was around three, we were at a church concert

Asked him, what you wanna watch performances?

I turned away for a moment, when I looked upJustin my three year old had managed to find himself on stage in front of thousands of people

As if he was ready to perform next

From that moment, I knew Justin would be heading for platforms bigger than that stage

I know he would stand tall in this world

Started out in Nasty Crew

Just after Dizzee Rascal blew

Stana took me Jammers

I remember it was afternoon

I was still on tag then

Fresh home from Hunter Coombe

Jammer played destruction to me

Told me it was coming soon

Sharky taught me patience

Marcus bought me stations

Back to back with Kano

Had me working on my cadence

Spitting in my bedroom

Nurturing the basics

While I was tryna work out how to turn this into papers

First I clashed Dimples

Then I sent for Flirta D

I swear either man was singles

Couldn′t end the murder spree

Every time they heard me touch the microphone, first degree

I was tryna rub these niggas out the culture permanently

Then beef and music mixed and someone said I can't go out

It was on sight with SLK from when I knocked Swarvo out

Then they caught me lacking

Sidewinder Milton Keynes

I was with

I shoulda bought the whole of Plaistow out

The second phase is when the pressure came

Double, Monks and Foots left

And Marcus tried to set up Kane

I told him that he′s wrong for that

And I ain't with the set up games

Then Newham turned against me

Like I ain't from the ends again

Mike Skinner tour

Mind′s still on war

Knife with me still

I′m five figure poor

Why give in for?

I'm still on form

It ain′t just the deal

Why I'm in it for

My nigga pissed ′cause I ain't been to see him

I was in the lab

Working on my tape with Rich and Ian

By the time Risky rung my phone, I was a different being

I was taking less risk on road even in the PM

Outside my yard, chipped tooth

Who set the levels?

Mouth full of bars, true stories

Check the records

Where the fuck is the awards?

Who′s collecting medals?

Who connected dots?

'Cause I connected several

People always ask me how the movement start

First I met Devlin through a mutual spar

When I met the brother Mercston, he was moving grub

Scorcher rung me out the blue and showed me super love

Told me I was cold, I said, it's mutual, blood

Then my nigga 32 came to stus with us

And we was boring through with no excusing us

Next ting I know it′s boy better know and movement dubs

Before we was making money, on the tour bus

I was tryna make a duppy with a war dub

Me versus P Money, that was pure crud

Tell NME I find it funny they ignored us

All these man say they kings, it′s just self-proclaimed

Don't call yourself a king, you ain′t helped the game

Everybody in this ting must've felt the same

All I see is complaints, but we′ve only got ourselves to blame

I changed grime sonically

Waged war properly

Done the impossible

Made them say possibly

All I got in exchange is niggas tryna copy me

And people that don't really know the culture running commentary

They didn′t want me here

I had to bob and weave

You ain't self made

What kinda odds you beat?

What time you wake up?

How long you sleep?

Me and Dominic, we was obsolete

If you don't tell your story, they gon′ tell it for you

Who′s on the panel?, that's a rebel for you

God said, chill, there′s something special for you

I know you been through hell, l so I got Heaven for you

If you don't tell your story they gon′ tell it for you

Who's on the panel?, that′s a rebel for you

God said, chill, there's something special for you

I know you been through hell, l so I got Heaven for you

Before we go

I'm just making sure my story′s told

Collin used to manage me

When his office was in Walthamstow

Promises and guarantees

Until we didn′t talk no more

I just needed clarity

'Cause I was chasing waterfalls

Darren, you was watching

When channel U was popping

If I′m absolutely honest

My attitude was shocking

Wasted opportunities

Based on insecurities

Had to make a comeback

Display some ingenuity

Let's talk about my CV

Thought about it deeply

Is being great the norm?

We don′t talk about it really

How can I create the storm

And walk around this freely

I appreciate the tools

That brought me out of dreaming

Carly shot my videos

Danny engineered me

Simmone let the Mini go

I blew the engine nearly

Marnie held me down from the day we met yearly

Anyone who helped me out

Thank you, sincerely

Four minutes forty eight, ya boy ain't finished yet

I mention all these names, but I ain′t no one's silhouette

I done built my own brand up so before you try and interject

Sprinkle some respect upon my name and watch your nigga rep

Anyone who say I ain't the GOAT, incorrect

Disrespect

Disconnect

Fuck Radio 5, biggest set

Name another line up since including Chip, Grim and Devs

Purist say I′m falling off

When they was tryna work out what to call it, I just caught the drop

When you wanna make some music slightly left

They′re quick to call it soft

Call me Jack the way I'm jumping out that awkward box

′Cause this ain't all I got

I see what the problem is

Scene full of politics

Pride and the ego aside, we could′ve profited

Instead it's blatant disrespect and behind the door apologies

But if you trigger me, it′s trigonometry

I disapprove when rappers diss with no discography

People say they want the truth, but they settle for dishonesty

Analyze the game and all you'll find is greek mythology

Stories with no evidence which inherently bother me

Industry's full up of victims of mental health

Don′t forget about yourself while you entertain the world

Can you tell if they′re laughing at you

Or laughing with you

Well even Dave ain't been the same Chappelle

If you don′t tell your story, they gon' tell it for you

Who′s on the panel?, that's a rebel for you

God said, chill, there′s something special for you

I know you been through hell, l so I got Heaven for you

If you don't tell your story they gon' tell it for you

Who′s on the panel?, that′s a rebel for you

God said, chill, there's something special for you

I know you been through hell, l so I got Heaven for you
