It no sweet but you're living in sandstone
You buy a house, you buy a car
And from the proceeds of Grime
You be living like a rock star
Where you think me come from, from ah tree?
Dragged on a slave ship

You wanna talk but then the head butt
Blap blap blap
And then the gunshots ring...

The scars and the lies got the devil on the phone
The scars and the lies got you living in that zone
The scars and the lies gunna make the people fight
The scars and the lies got the vipers in the night

The real criminal he is in Downing Street
