Rule of Two

Streatham Common, running from the one-time

I can't be late when it's crunch time

Man talk about my life but I love mine

It's better a punchline than a cunchline

You see tryna find a shot, that's a tough grind

You spot one by spot one on the frontline

When the race gets techy I gotta run mine

That's the story on road and my love life

You got the young G's pressuring the older kids

You ever felt like somebody's gotta go for this?

Feds follow me and my associates

I gotta take a hard left, where the Soviets?

I never waited for a bring-in or the lottery

I wanted to make moves but it's fucked

Cah the worker in me always seems to argue with the boss in me

Nobody made change, sticking to the policy

Nobody speaking for the youth and it bothers me

The said I'd either do crime or be a rapper

I managed to do both so I'm a self-fulfilling prophecy

I told bae, "You're Penelope in my Odyssey"

Rolex Daytona with a white face

Man trap and get a duty solicitor

Then wonder why they end up getting birdied for a light case

There's a lot of **** fitting in a tight space

This Jimmy Conway not Jimmy Fallon

I see man peak young like Lilly Allen

We had to do it then act like it didn't happen

Nowadays it's pics or it didn't happen

South London's the home of the trigger action

Long shanks I'm a brave-heart

I think therefore I am, it's like Descartes

In war something's gotta burn, it's like napalm

Youngs Tef, gave me the call of duty

But I couldn't picture times like this

When I would rock a fake Jacob

And save up for Forreduci

People wanna use me, don't wanna lose me

Different place

Girls say I'm a different person any given day

How you talking on my name with that little wage

They threw shade on my borough before the Insta page

It's got me fighting myself

Half my guys in the cell

They denied them their bail

It was time for a ride

And I was riding as well

I'm Lord Petyr Baelish, I got knights in the Vale

I'm outside where it's deadly

And I ain't singing medleys

Top floor views, tryna figure where my head be

Supreme box logo

And I ain't at the marches but this ain't my first rodeo

Was better than you favourite rappers now

When I used to spend my profit on Polo

Before the 'Rona came, was high key on the low-low

Box-cutters for the packages that's coming through the door

Send a memo to the tugs

"Is you coming to the war?"

Cah the weaponry select, never left the shelf

The feds can't protect us so we protect ourselves

Why I'm rapping 'bout pain they ain't never felt

Was trapping early in the morning with Vanessa Feltz

My brothers do lunch in Amiri denim

While I'm waking up from dreams, seeing fairies in 'em

Who said I aint top five? Had a big laugh

And rapping weren't the only way, I had six paths

Having visions of the future, seeing cop machines

But now we in the future we got 'nuff machines

When I was making classics they was watching beans

Had the Submariner, I ain't never seen a submarine (Fire)

Used to dream off big houses with the swimming pool

MJ and Scarface posters in the living room

But we gotta teach the kids about the principles

Hoodie, gloves and mask like Victor Doom

Love the handle on the spinners 'cause the grips rubber

But never touched another man because of skin colour

How we treat these women bad and they still love us?

Gotta do better so they can heal for us

And every other day she tell me I'm so talented

But my life's upside, I gotta balance it

Getting money now, I hardly check my balances

But shout to my manager because he manage it

Late night, say a prayer while the candle it

But this Balenciaga Paris make me arrogant

She came 'round wrapped up like she Arabic

Might seduce her to some Usher, can you handle it?

My Juvvy still a teen wanna cop a Range

But he ain't never own a thing, I said it's not the way

Local opps tryna drill me from a block away

Saw it before it happened, felt like Doctor Strange

And right now I'm holding business with Santan

And I ain't talking 'bout loans or a bank scam

I gobble up a contract like I'm Pac-Man

Suttin' like track and field how the cash ran

Used to break down squares playing Xbox

My last verse probably pay for my next watch

Cah the rap game remind me of the crack game

I walk into a cypher like it's a pet shop

My ****'s in the sin-bin, he got sent off

It went off, free the team, that's the end of

Rain, hail, sleet for a ten shot

Einstein, we were working for a dead prof'

I got both 'cause I'm indecisive

But I've been around teeth like gingivitis

They gon 'member Trilly like they did The Titans

Running through the bramble like that **** Titus

And we ain't washed up but we clean good

Before sticks, we kept the mace like Greenwood

I know them man are asking but the team's good

My **** ballers off of drugs, they didn't need snuss

And we good, you know the guns and the butter

But I don't want much, I give the funds to my mother

True to the oath, I'ma bring it to my grave

We in a different grade

This is Jimmy and Dave
