Grime Doesn’t Pay Lyrics by M.I.K

Contrast

2012

[Intro]
Well, it all started suddenly last summer
I was sitting in my living room, watching the news on TV
In conclusion, the District Attorney's office has issued orders to stamp out this filthy, messy grime wave
Want to get rid of that grime?

[Chorus 1]
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
(Grime doesn't pay)

[Verse 1]
Microphone killer, iller
Going on black like Cilla, realer
Out for the money, dough, scrilla
Lights, camera, action, thriller
Me, definite blood spiller
Dragon Stout in a champagne chiller
Man try holla at me on the Twitter
Clap, man ah man was too inner
Sinner, rice and peas on a bigger
Winner, mix CD full up of bare hits
And trust me when I say the rave one's filler
Big 45 in the waist, gunslinger
I'll eat your breakfast, lunch and dinner
Too many man wanna bread like pitta
Last year, bare MCs got loud
But it's OK, they were trash, litter

[Chorus 1]
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
(Grime doesn't pay)

[Verse 2]
Right now, I am the F-A-R-D-A
I'll buss mic till I'm old and grey
Dem boy nuh ready for the M
Dem boy nuh ready for the bloodclart I-dot-K
I give the girl dem wob in gob
You give the girl dem bare foreplay
DJs holla at me for the set
I tell them "donny, I'm on my way"
70+ on the motorway
Skid around the corner, shots go ayy
A, here's a new one, B
Man couldn't hear so I made him see
I don't give an F, bloodclart D
When I'm onstage with a mic in my hand
Girl dem skank out like they're hooked on E
Don't make sense if it don't make P

[Chorus 1]
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
(Grime doesn't pay)

[Verse 3]
Right now, I am the S-K-E-N-G
Man better know that it's all FT
When I touch down in the rave that I'm booked for
Man better know that I ain't spitting
One sixteen till I see that bloodclart P
Money upfront, my policy
No, Mum didn't raise no fool
Air Force Ones, they're overly
Right now, these MCs are P-double-O
B-double-O-M
Back out the ting and I aim at them
Done already said I spit that piff
So right about now, I'mma spit that phlegm
All in your face like say I was rolling deep
With a bunch of German men
Skid around the corner, skid around the corner

[Chorus 2]
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
I give the girl dem willy in face
You give the girl dem rose and (grime)
