Body of Work
[Verse 1:]
Came through with pearls, no harbour
New whip, fresh trim, no barber, covered in armour
Still we're united, President T not Obama
I had a dream last night that I couldn't get over
I was on a jet stop over, still on my watch, but it weren't over my shoulder
Man want to act all hot, family, I ain't never been no colder
Take me back 10 years - don't look one day older
Prez is calm, yeah, Tony's a holder
Big and bad, ebola
You will see whip and chain, before you take my whip and...
Tottenham, Tottenham, calling my name
I don't wanna turn man's carpet red, hall of fame
King of war, yes I became
Man's an informer, these pussyhole's won't give me the blame
"I'm gonna bring that mad man back into grime"
These man are gassed, when I'm just passing time
Man's gonna die and still ain't got to their prime
Can't have my back, when you man are back of the line
I bring food to the table - wine and dine
You don't wanna see man's rambo shine
Yeah I'm the best at rap in all mankind
When you hear me, tingle straight to your spine
[Hook:]
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
[Verse 2:]
Walk in the room, nah, these times man can't walk in my shoes
Do it for the paper, do it for the views
King of rap or grime? How can I choose?
Send me the wonga, pay my dues
You was at Butlins, I was in a Blues
Test Prez T? I said, test Prez T? Put your face in the news!
Too many members, not enough crews
Too many members, not enough men
Got straps that are bigger than Ben?
Tell them again!
Me and these MC guys ain't size
What?
Me and these MC guys ain't friends
Mention my name, better say amen
Shout to my bredrins, 8 to a 10
[Hook:]
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
[Bridge:]
Yeah, body of work, body of work
You pussyholes!
[Verse 3:]
Hell to the haters, hell to the fakes
Dare you to come to my gates, you will see garden rakes
Blood, sweat, tears, that's what it takes
Trust me, won't see any snakes when badman awakes
What?
This one comes like Usain Bolt on crud
What you joining Bloodline for? You pussyholes ain't blood
Stuck in the mud, how can you make it reign?
When I come around, heads will flood
Yeah that's cool, heads will turn
Don't tell your parents that man rap, might not see a man earn
Let's watch the pagans burn
Fam you're a streak of piss - yeah, that's right
Andre's fam, not mine
I was in country working a line
I hold the pumpy, man's not lying
Body of work, I will cosign
Body of work, body of broken bones
Got rid of all my sticks but carried on moving stones
Talk about Prez, see me in the flesh, changing tones
I will crush man like cones, even a man that's blind can see that I'm from the zones
Had the connection, before the phones
Had the collection, it was all chrome
Body of work, body of work
Come to my bits and lurk - streets of grime!
[Hook:]
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
Body of work, body of work
All these bodies, can't see work
Come to my bits and lurk, you will get that work
