17 Lyrics by Cadell

Hotline

2016

[Verse 1]
I don't care who you think's the best in grime
Cause I ain't no rival for a title, I'd rather be next in line
I can see mouths moving but really can't hear no one
Godfather, my big brother's the Robert De Niro one
I saved the grime scene, no hero one
Where should I start from? Zero? One?
He took many a flow, tried to use me
Till I got over one, like two, three
And I'm bored of the sword fights
I lock down the rave, no 45s
On the front line, you won't get lemon
I'll give him a dead Q, six, seven
Wrote this bar and I had to rate Grimez
I want two boxes, that's eight nines
I'm a devil, I wanna go to heaven
Nearly a new day, ten to eleven
21+, that's helping me
Lost my virginity at twelve, thirteen
Plus, didn't wanna miss me
Write like fourteen to fifteen 16s

[Hook]
You was like seventeen, filling job applications
I was like seventeen, chilling with Truss, we got entertainment
And yeah, I might lose my friend, I don't want no replacement
Cause me and my circle's family, I ain't lost fam in ages
You was like seventeen, filling job applications
I was like seventeen, chilling with Truss, we got entertainment
And yeah, I might lose my friend, I don't want no replacement
Cause me and my circle's family, I ain't lost fam in ages

[Verse 2]
At sixteen, I'd tell girls I'm eighteen
Guess what? They still believed me
Born in 19 How Long, 20 man deep
When I ride out, it's easy
In America, you've gotta be 21 to be able to do
22 of the 23 things we do in 24 hours
25 man wanna beef me
Might not reach 26, if I don't, I'm pissed
I can say that it's worth a try
My team's success might hurt your eyes
Two sevenths, two eighths, two nines and 30 guys
I know you wanna be one
Got the fans like "this ain't the free one"
And I'mma end the count at 32
Make sure that you get the EP too
And I've been a problem
But I don't admit it often
And I'm anti, ain't got a million friends
Me riding alone's like a million men
Spent 2014 giving 'em pebs
2015's gonna make a little more sense
So business, stay inna yours
Me, I can't lack inna war
Man think that they're Modrić, new to the field like Livermore
I'm old school, front liner, Robbie Keane
Fuck twerking, if I let it tweak
You'll know what Bobby means
But enough about Bobby, though
Cause they already knew we was on the road
This my honour roll
I've heard too many man say they're onto me
Dem man are ghost busters like they shot a ghost

[Hook]
You was like seventeen, filling job applications
I was like seventeen, chilling with Truss, we got entertainment
And yeah, I might lose my friend, I don't want no replacement
Cause me and my circle's family, I ain't lost fam in ages
You was like seventeen, filling job applications
I was like seventeen, chilling with Truss, we got entertainment
And yeah, I might lose my friend, I don't want no replacement
Cause me and my circle's family, I ain't lost fam in ages
