Shekel Lyrics

I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)
I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')
You can try shuffle and slide round my team
But that's a dance with the devil (dead)
And you can try step it up, war
I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level

I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)
Foot on the clutch, gear into first
Then second, then third, then fourth, then duck
We didn't have much
Nothing to lose and really lived off crumbs
Shank in my shoe, now my toes is numb
Up in the shubs like "who wants some?"
Long time before a man held big gun
I was at his front door, he was tryna call mum
I was in the Addy Lee with a loaded one
Says he wants more but he owes me some
That can't run
Big boss fees, said he got a ton
Try rap? (what?)
Spit with his stick? You just spit with your tongue
[?]
In my cars, I trap till the wheels fall off
Graft? They ain't done none
Porter showed me how the ting run
Pull up on your block, back seat sawn off
YG lean out of window with scarf
In Tizzy Gang, no members are soft
Can they say the same? No, they can't
Don't mention them man cuh they ain't my dargs
And we bring the jits in quarters and half
Cause feds watch us like eagle hawk
Please violate, I'm Ego, I'll bark
Cuh Vic and Cadell ain't even gotta ask
Blast, leave a man flat on his arse
Snitch on who? Man ah cut down grass
Onto the beef, I'm down for the toss
Skrrt in the V with tinted glass

I was out here from the jump-off
And they know that I load up and dump off
Really, it's a lie if you heard that I gone soft
See me with a kweng, I'll be lenging out nonstop
Yeah, I know he was there but he's washed up
I was up in the pen for a botched job
They ain't on my level, I'm the heir for the top spot
Dem boy probably got here at the bus stop, listen
Now they're talking that reckless
When they come round, they was tucking that necklace
Thinking 'bout when they was walking 'bout ped-less
Fill him with air, have him walking round headless
Stab me in my back and I'm hugging that benchrest
Sparking a zoot and I'm plotting my next steps
Breaking up food and I'm plugging connections
Far from a gooner, we never was yes men
These niggas are mad
The way that I see what even is sad
I came out the [?] to the building in charge
Now I'm breaking 'em down, call me Steven Seagal
Terrorise who?
Terrorise what? Terrorise where?
Load up machines, the place that you sleep
There'll be hella man there

I never had a penny and nobody cared
When I had a penny, I was selling from a celly
Now they're tryna call me Balotelli
Cause I had a bally and I still put it on the telly
I was pressing on the pedal, you was on a pedal bike
Getting put under pressure
I was rising, you was looking on
Do the 20 Under 20 and put me on
I'm the one with a hoodie on
I had a meeting I should've gone
I should've come out the trap, gone to big shit
God forgive the pain I've inflicted
I don't wanna risk getting convicted
They don't know me, they got transcripted
(I make one call, you gotta be here by Christmas)
No time for sliders and drifters
Cause I'm a real soul survivor
Still on road, fight the fight
And I bet no one fights us
Ain't no one like us so the warriors call us Cyrus
Even out in Cyprus
Man think that they're going viral
And think they're a growing virus
Cuh they blow nose from Pyrex
And go to raves and give gyal dem dry sex
Fake machines out? Not on my set
Not on my watch
Tell GRM Daily, don't tell Crimewatch
I told C1 I ain't taking time off
What I put time on, work and rhyme on
Still do dirt when I want
To Portsmouth, say I'm Poseidon
There ain't a game that you won't see Kyle on
He done tracks that I've been running a mile on
(He wants clips so I give him the entire one)

I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)
I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')
You can try shuffle and slide round my team
But that's a dance with the devil (dead)
And you can try step it up, war
I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level
I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)
I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')
You can try shuffle and slide round my team
But that's a dance with the devil (dead)
And you can try step it up, war
I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level

Oh no, I'm back in my zone
Can't wait till I see him, I'm grabbing his gold
And don't try to rob, I'm wide awake
I woke about five today
And I've been missing for a minute but I enjoy time away
But I'm back now
I say a figure for a show, they tap out
Tried to flex, he Boston crabbed out
In the scene, I'm Shane McMahon or Martin Shkreli
Young but I dealt with the task already
Everybody tried to put me on blast
But I put 'em on blast and they laughed already
He's just soft, no heart, no belly
Not on dark hearts and we do many
Don't mean magic, I cause panic
Man are old school like Who Killed-

I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (broke)
I was putting pedal to the metal
We was out here from when we never had a shekel (nuttin')
You can try shuffle and slide round my team
But that's a dance with the devil (dead)
And you can try step it up, war
I'm my own boss, so I'm on a different level
