[Verse 1: Tinchy Stryder]
In grime, they can call me the golden boy
Promise you there ain't no holding, boy

Run up on cliques on some James Bond shit with a golden toy
And they're like

Shifty, boombayeh

All day, every day, boombayeh
We deal with the matter like boombayeh
Boom bam

See me in the rave with the gang, boom bam
Free Roach out of the can, boom bam
Reach for the ting, boom, boom, boom
'Nuff shots ah go blam
[Verse 4: Rapid]
Cah, I'm a dan, hotter than, ratter than
Madder than the Taliban in Afghanistan
Know a couple niggas that shoot like cameraman
Never stay in one place, move like caravan, yo

I bore through like a mash man
Don't do cheques, want cash, man
Man'll skin off the hair of your 'tache, man
Man are Dirty, known as a gash man
[Verse 6: Fuda Guy]

[Verse 9]
Yo mic check one, are we live, are you on this?
Mic check two, tell the truth, do we run this?
Yeah, we in this, so distinguished
If you don't feel us, you speak no English
Yeah we're in E-L
Where we hold it down on the D-L
And we get around fast like email
Stay on track, nah never derail
Never derail, no, cos we're boasy, boasy
Why do you think them watch us closely?
From now I'm on a new ting, free Roachee
Gotta get him out of the bing real low key
Can't bubble these creps [?]
I make a nigga Hail Mary
Bang, bang, never late, man are early
Taliban styley, we're kamikaze
Taliban styley, we're kamikaze
Make a boy lean back like he's on a Harley
East manaman like Brian Harvey
See me in the 'hood jamming like Marley
I'm living it, been in it
Lost weight cos I ain't been gymming it
Sex on my brain, yeah, I'm rimming it
Don't drive if I ain't got the ting innit, it's a riddim, innit?
Yes, and we're eighties babies
We don't wanna hear no's or maybes
See, we do this for the thugs and ladies
I'm real, you're a scam just like ACs
And you know that we can trace these
Just by looking at how you lace these
So let me make it known to yourself that
Ruff Sqwad are vets and yous the trainees
[Chorus: Slix]
We're from East London where the mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah boop, boop, boop, boop, boop
Mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah
We're from East London where the mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah boop, boop, boop, boop, boop
Mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah
[Verse 10]
We're back for the second time round but harder
Had a little break so here's a little starter
Had a bit of cake but now I'm on the grafter
Now I spit tight and flow a little faster
We're on that serious ting, no joke, no laughter
I got a ting tucked near my balls that'll carve ya
And we won't never look back when we blast off
We're from East where the mandem will blast off
Real MCs in the scene, we're the last of
Don't be fooled, don't think that you're past us
Nah, Shift, they can never outclass us
I know man out there wanna blast us
Tell them wannabe Gs get their mask off
It's Ruff Sqwad, you ain't heard the last of us
'Cause we're heat and we're ready to blast off
Wrap up the game, blud, don't put it past us
[Chorus: Slix]
We're from East London where the mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah boop, boop, boop, boop, boop
Mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah
We're from East London where the mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah boop, boop, boop, boop, boop
Mandem ah boop
East London where the mandem ah
