Lyrics
Man's never been in Marquee
When it's shutdown eh
Truss mi daddy
Hey aye
Man's never been in

When it's shutdown
That's not me and it's shutdown
Ring-ring pussy it's shutdown (hey)
Fashion week and it's shutdown

Went to the show sitting in the front row
In a black tracksuit and it's shutdown
Touch the road and it's shutdown
Boy Better Know and it's shutdown (yeah)

Yeah take time, if a man want try me, no time
Usain Bolt when I run up on stage
I pick up the mic and it's reload time

Don't know your songs but they know mine
That's why I got gigs just like Joe Grind
After the show I be rolling mine
Don't care 'bout the no smoking sign

They tried to steal my vision
This ain't a culture, it's my religion
God knows I don't wanna go prison
But if a man want try me trust me listen

Me and my Gs ain't scared of police
We don't listen to no politician
Everybody on the same mission
And we don't care about your ism and schisms (ice)

'Cause it's shutdown
That's not me and it's shutdown
Ring-ring pussy it's shutdown (hey)
Fashion week and it's shutdown

Went to the show sitting in the front row
In a black tracksuit and it's shutdown
Touch the road and it's shutdown
Boy Better Know and it's shutdown (yeah)

You wanna act like a G for the camera
You say you're Muslim, you say you're Rasta
So you don't eat pork? Don't eat pussy?
Liar, you're just a actor

Blud, you're not on your deen
And if Selassie saw you he would say
Blud take off the red gold and green
Them man are soft just like ice cream

Szeen? Start moving correctly
If you don't wanna upset me you get me
You tryna show me your Fendi
I told you before this shit don't impress me (trust me)

I bet I make you respect me
When you see the mandem are selling out Wembley
Roll deep in a blacked out Bentley
Pull up outside like "Wah gwan sexy?"

Yeah, and it's shutdown
That's not me and it's shutdown
Ring-ring pussy it's shutdown (hey)
Fashion week and it's shutdown

Went to the show sitting in the front row
In a black tracksuit and it's shutdown
Touch the road and it's shutdown
Boy Better Know and it's shutdown

A bunch of young men all dressed in black
Dancing extremely aggressively on stage
It made me feel so intimidated
And it's just not what I expect to see on primetime TV

I'm in a different class
When I get through I'm ma bring my dargs
Two by two man a walk on the ark
Sitting at the front just like Rosa Parks

Trust me, you don't wanna see me get dark
Upset cause man are way up right now
And the shit happened all so fast
I was in Paris shut down l'Arc

New York shut down Central Park (ice)
Talk about London yo Frisco where shall I start?
Walked in spat ten-sixteen bars
And each and every one of them came from the heart

None of my lyrics are stolen
"Go on then go on then" that's my slogan
Wanna know how I did it with no label
No A-list songs and I told them

Blud I just shutdown
That's not me and it's shutdown
Ring-ring pussy it's shutdown (hey)
Fashion week and it's shutdown

Went to the show sitting in the front row
In a black tracksuit and it's shutdown
Touch the road and it's shutdown
Boy Better Know and it's shutdown

Yeah, I just shutdown
That's not me and it's shutdown
Ring-ring pussy it's shutdown (hey)
Fashion week and it's shutdown

Went to the show sitting in the front row
In a black tracksuit and it's shutdown
Touch the road and it's shutdown
Boy Better Know and it's shutdown

Link up daddy
Alright
Yo tomorrow I'm gonna come scoop you eh
We'll go to Biz's
Yeah for sure alright
Dun know
