[Verse 1: Tempa]
Straight
You wanna know what the word is?
I'm pissed 'cause my niggas got birded
I couldn't believe when I heard that verdict
So much years and nobody got murdered
That's some real shit, these MCs don't pack burners
Fuck that, Imma to spit this straight from the heart
Bare MCs are liars, they've been telling bare lies from the start
I see man on YouTube chatting shit
Man on Facebook, chatting shit
Man on Twitter and they're chatting shit
But it's best to avoid and don't talk
Why?
'Cause I don't want to hear it
Them man are talking drugs and guns but them man ain't even near it
My older Gs told me to carry on spitting 'cause I'm going to go clear G
Plus they know manna real G
Ah, you never heard what I said?
I said plus they know manna real G
So, one love to my niggas in the bin
Bang your door fam, it ain't no thing
My nigga phoned me from jail, told me 'fuck man, it's a straight p ting'
So now I get it in
I do my ting
It's a Straight Up Remix, fuck what you heard, I'm out here on the curb, don't gas and tell them straight up
[Hook: Dapz OTM & Lil Choppa] (X4)
Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
No bullshit, no lies, it's the remix, straight up
[Verse 2: Depzman & Jaykae]
Straight up, straight up
You man should try and take a walk in my shoes
I'm trying to get by in this music ting, you think I got time to be warring with yous?
From Small Heath so I'm all for the blues
Mixtape time so I'm sorting my tunes
I ain't trying to get caught in the madness, caught in the court or caught on the news, nah
It's so peak, it's so deep
Was cold on road so I roll with the heat
Man say I've got a hot head, but I'd rather have a hot head than cold feet
And I don't know Scratchy but man I Roll Deep
Gwen Stefani bitch please don't speak
And if I ever hear that you're setting up shop
Yeah, that's going to stop, you know why?
'Cuh you're on a likkle man ting like nicotine rush
There's no way on Earth you're spinning me truss
I be the guy he wishes he was
Man down if I start swinging these hooks
Dapz is a G when he's singing his hooks
Man hollaed me for the Straight Up Remix
Can't tell man straight up how I'm feeling
Now everyone's feeling my buzz (Oh yeah)
The man ain't teaming like us (Oh yeah)
They ain't scheming like us
Them man are followers, come like sheep
Trust me they ain't leading like us
Yeah, them man are fish, can't swim with the sharks
Heaven and Hell are inches apart
Life ain't a game like I'm in a console
Yeah it's peak out here and that's straight from the heart, straight up
[Hook: Dapz OTM & Lil Choppa] (X4)
Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
No bullshit, no lies, it's the remix, straight up
[Verse 3: Sox]
Tell a man straight up, you won't make it
Your girl like chaps, but she don't wear bracelets
Dapz hollaed me for the Straight Up Remix 'cause he knew straight away I would break it
One of the best MCs in the grime scene
That's why gyal want to sing my praises
The world's fucked up, that's my opinion, let me explain it
Sit on the sofa, roll up a big spliff and rotate it
I'll break it down to them so basic
The whole of England's fucked because the members of parliament just want to up their savings
All most teenagers want to do is have sex and get off their faces don't blame them
I was on the same shit, might see Sox in Notts like laces
Shit's fucked up, but you can't change it
All man think about is their wages
Man try tell me I'm sick for a whiteboy, but that ain't a complement, fam it's racist
I am the darkest, but I'm the palest
I am the hardest, 'cause I'm the greatest
I am the smartest, you on the gay list
When gyal see you they do 180s
And if you were really an artist no-one would buy your paintings
Yeah I understand why you're hating
Man are suffering, Invasion's on another ting
Not going to lie, my life is amazing
Them man claim to be wavy, but they ain't ever been sailing
I say Invasion Alert 'cause I'm invading
[Break: Dapz OTM & Lil Choppa]
Real smooth
Don't Say A Word
I've come a long way, but got a long way to go
I went from watching man on TV, thinking watch when them man hear me
But now, the tables' are turned 'cause I used to look up to man, who now look up to man
We make hard work look easy, but it never came like that, it was more like-
Sleepless nights, working to better my life trying to reach my goal
Underground artist, trying to stay grounded, but still fits the overground role
Straight up
Slowly but surely onwards and up
I've watched my fan base grow
I got my head down, now things are looking up
They used to say no, and now the know, for real
Yeah, they got my cousin serving more time than he's been alive
I wish he could start over, straight up, but I've got to do me in grime
So I said 'ok, something's gotta give'
Dropped a new swag with my Flush Raw
Ever since, man have been running with my sound
'012, who's running it now? It's us
They didn't have faith when I told them I was going to do this
Now look a bit, they feel stupid
Top 5 dead or alive in the midst, so don't chat to me about music
Seen bare MCs get to the stage, when they're on stage and then they lose it
Man have got a one way ticket to success and it's in date so manna gunna use it
[Hook: Dapz OTM & Lil Choppa] (X4)
Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
No bullshit, no lies, it's the remix, straight up
