71 / End Credits

Tyrell 169, Fraser T. Smith, Dave

[Part I: 71]

[Intro]
Look

[Chorus]
Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done?
My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run
Man talk about shottys and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71

[Verse 1]
Sixteen, I saw my first grand
And then I went Prada and I lost it
It's like I cremated Moses
'Cause man was just burnin' profit
Then I spend one-five in a heartbeat
I didn't know about taking losses
That's 'cause I had lines with Squares
And Os in the middle like noughts and crosses
No that's 'cause I had three young G's
With their hand on their heart and their mind on cake
The guy to my side had a wap on his thigh, so I had 40 to my right like Drake
Them man there still banging for pride
Done with that, man's tryna get paid
That's for my G, had cats on my line
Like Harvey Dent, I can't feel my face like

[Chorus]
Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done?
My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run
Man talk about shottys and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71

[Verse 2]
Dash, duck, dive, run, hide, snitch
Man try bump me for a bag, but I got around South like London Bridge
I was sixteen with a mic and a dream
Two years later, I'm taking the piss
Man still hate on me and my team
'Cause I got more ice for my age than Sid
But wait, look, my man said that he's psycho, my man said that they're grinding
It's funny how them man are psychos, but their P's are silent
Don't talk to me about moves, like a day off them man are just lying
Send a young runner out in the field
Put pressure on a youte like a brand new signin'

[Chorus]
Why them man talking 'bout trap and work they never have done?
My side don't know about pressure, and my brothers they never could run
Man talk about shottys and .40s, but them boys ain't ever seen guns
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71
I ain't working till 71, I ain't working till 71
I'm tryna retire at 40, I ain't working till 71

[Part II: End Credits]

[Intro]
Take four
Still September the twelfth
Oh, it's actually not 'cause I just clocked
We're studio, 1 AM, so September the thirtheenth
Yeah
Just for this sick ad-lib that I put down, I gotta get this in one take, so
Look

[Verse]
Look
It's looking like we've come to an end
And I don't even know what to say, but
I can tell when a person has faith in me
It means way more to me than a favour
It's for Tyrell, Jack, Benny, Nana, Fraser
Jamz, Semtex, Manny
And everyone who put me on their radar
Just know that you did it well
And that my older brother's smilin' in his prison cell
And even when he can't call me to say hello
Know that he can hear me talking on the radio
By God's grace, soon see me on a screen
I never knew drive until I found me a dream
I never knew work until I found me a team
I swear I've had a headache for my whole damn life
Fam, I never knew stress until I found me some peace
I came here with a zipped mouth and open ears
Love to Austin, Manon, Maurice
Love to every single person who believed
Love to all my supporters till the end
No fans, you're my friends
There won't ever be a divide between you and I
I love you all to the end
I love you all to the end
With the bottom of my heart, I love you all to the end
I love you all to the end
And my mum, I love you so, so much
You got so much heart
Single mum with four houses and three grown sons
Mum you're so, so smart
And you love me, 'cause you let me drop uni
Even though it broke your heart
And mum you know it broke my heart
'Cause I know you want the best for us
Protectin' what's left of us
And I just need to say this
My friends, you're amazing
You wouldn't even know
But there's times that I swear that I didn't think I'd make it
Walked into depression with a blindfold
And came out of the belly of the beast
I've got friends that will push me in life and protect me in the streets
I thank God for the company I keep

[Outro: Dave & Juliet Doris Omoregie]
In the studio
You're not gonna sit there all day
Nah, I'm coming back after this take
You're what?
Coming back after this take
After what?
After this take
What does that mean?
I should just ad-lib you right now, mummy
Huh?
Hehehe, forget it, ad-lib is like when you
You're probably thinking, "What does that mean?"
Ad-lib's when you use someone's voice
But I'm recordin' the final part of it
And you're on loudspeaker because I'm doing the final take
Okay, so what time will you finish?
Soon
How you gonna get home?
Jack's picking me up
Eh?
Jack's picking me up
Alright, see you in a bit
Bye mummy
