No Way
No Way Chronicles: Grime's Unapologetic Swagger
Lyrics
It's been over ten years and
Reflecting on a decade's passage
I'm still doing it
Continued dedication to the craft
They've digested your music and
Others have absorbed your music
Shitted it out
They've discarded it disrespectfully
But mine, they're still chewingit
Listeners are still engaging with mine
I get airplay, unlike you
Receiving more radio airplay compared to you
And if you ask anybody their top five MCs
When people list their top five MCs, you're not included
I guarantee they don't put you in it
Your presence ruins the beat
You jump on the beat and you just ruin it
Your music gets criticized by others
Your tunes? Mandem keep slewing it
Your fashion style gets mocked
Your garms? Mandem keep slewing it
Similarly, your car choices are ridiculed
Your whip? Mandem keep slewing it
Given an album, but it's unappealing
Trust me, you gave me your album, fam
Disposing of the album like a dirty diaper
And I honestly don't know what to do with it
Emphasizing individuality in sound
Hold it at arms' length
Asserting uniqueness and separation
Then drop it in the bin like
Rejecting imitation or similarity
A nappy with poo-poo in it
A metaphor for discarding something undesirable
Get this straight from now
Establishing distinctiveness
You sound like me, I don't sound like you
Stating the contrast in styles
Init
An assertion of difference
No way you can't do what we do, no way
Refrain emphasizing the exclusivity of their work, not replicable
If we didn't say what we say
-Nobody would've ever said
-Anything that we've ever said to
-The end of time no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-Selec le lecta
-You can't test the best, you'll get parred
-All of my creps look fresh
-Cause you dun know that I
-Rep the Crep Protect hard
-Anybody wanna hear a badboy tune?
-Then check Jme or check for Skepta
-If you're on set with the mandem, trust me
-You can't come around and then forget bars
-Selec le lec if your CD's on, I press eject
-If you borrow my sound
-Then you better pay back
-Or I kick off your door and debt collect
-If you ask for a verse and I don't do it
-Don't ask again, fam, you best forget
-But if you ask again and I don't answer
-You are a waste cadet
-No way you can't do what we do, no way
-If we didn't say what we say
-Nobody would've ever said
-Anything that we've ever said to
-The end of time no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-Trust me even man like Teddy's on this ting
-Killing and burying this ting
-Got couple tunes on the telly and this ting
-Used to be called Silencer
-But he's not silent, so he's rinsing
-Now this violent grime is the in ting
-So we just rhyme in time, keep listening
-I don't know you
-Don't chat shit, fam, I will go old-school
-Trust, straight up-and down like yo yos do
-Always smiling like a photoshoot
-Boy Better Know, you can see the logo
-You man have got no taste like cold tofu
-Any beat, any tune
-You will just roll through but not me
-Badboy instrumentals only
-No way you can't do what we do, no way
-If we didn't say what we say
-Nobody would've ever said
-Anything that we've ever said to
-The end of time no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
-You can't do what we do, no way
