The Fork and Knife

Yeah, I've got a friend that gets high on his own supply

When I look at him now, I don't know the guy

His coke never came in a can

Nah, there's no savin' a man, it's no surprise

That he's hangin' with strangers on the road at night

Talkin' to everybody like shit

But if you've got any drugs, then he's so polite

"I'm tryna be like you, bro", you know the type

He's got his eyes wide open

I'm lookin' through the window to his soul, I can see my guy's broken

Hands hurtin' from the grudges he's holdin'

One day, he will talk to me, I'm hopin'

He said social media gives him anxiety

I looked up, I see him still scrollin'

It's a gift and a curse when you're chosen

When you're the man in the city, Phil Foden

Is it gamblin', clothes or sex?

You can't figure out why you're so obsessed

Everybody got vices

Everybody got thoughts that they hope to forget

You said that you wanna be successful

You never knew it was gonna be so much stress

Life was easier when you needed less

But don't look back, you might get depressed

Fentanyl, paracetamol

Panadol, Adderall

Finessekid, I don't do drugs

Feel like in a past life I had 'em all

Trabaye down a rabbit hole

Old demons attack your soul

You got locked in Pandora's box

Think it's time you cracked the code

Fentanyl, paracetamol

Panadol, Adderall

Finessekid, I don't do drugs

Feel like in a past life I had 'em all

Trabaye down a rabbit hole

Old demons attack your soul

You got locked in Pandora's box

Think it's time you cracked the code

Remember you never used to care about it

Now you never go anywhere without it

You talk like a tough guy, but you're a slave to addiction

So who really wears the trousers?

Your wifey never used to leave your side

You got weak, now you don't know where your spouse is

I had to slow down on the loud

Some days last year, I was blazin' ounces

I could never sit on my high horse and boast

Some people quit, some microdose

Life is a game of blackjack

Tryna see 21, it's all about the highs and lows

I know the energy I put out, it comes back

Universe reacts, and I prepare to attract

And it's Murphy's law

For what I fear the most, how scary is that?

Fentanyl, paracetamol

Panadol, Adderall

Finessekid, I don't do drugs

Feel like in a past life I had 'em all

Trabaye down a rabbit hole

Old demons attack your soul

You got locked in Pandora's box

Think it's time you cracked the code

Fentanyl, paracetamol

Panadol, Adderall

Finessekid, I don't do drugs

Feel like in a past life I had 'em all

Trabaye down a rabbit hole

Old demons attack your soul

You got locked in Pandora's box

Think it's time you cracked the code

(I need a card that don't decline, every day's a party) prr, prr

(I'm with my brothers and my choppers and my chargies) Big Smoke

(And we're still the same, ain't nothin' changed except the car keys) ice

Greaze

Yeah

We don't get angry, we don't get even (nah)

We don't talk about beef, by the way, did I mention I just turned vegan? (Ha)

I need the pagans breathing so they can see my new Top Boy season

I need the pagans alive so they can now see that it's still my time

I don't know why they act tough online, I see them outside, and they ain't say nada (huh?)

Soon as you say, "On sight," we lookin' for you like some vintage Prada

Lookin' for you like some archive pieces (pow-pow, pow)

Jealousy in the ends, they hate when you become successful

But in the trenches, we were all friends, how long we tryna pretend?

I know they love to see me do well, but only when it benefits them

Is it 'bout money, or is it 'bout girls? (Huh?) Either way, I'm threatening men (greaze)

C just text, said, "Diligent," yeah, 'cause the outfit's making sense

I told him it cost to be the boss and to be this fly is the same expense (pow-pow, pow)

And we just went triple platinum, check the digits (yeah, yeah)

Most these brothers is tired and washed up, bro, but they won't admit it

How many times have I dumbed it down to make a boy feel like he's on my level? (Bow)

And I ain't talkin' about kettles, I ain't talkin' about precious metals (nah, nah)

I'm talkin' about takin' a year out, still I can't see no competition

Can't see anyone threatenin' my position (ha)

Told D I need a chauffer 'cause I'm so driven, should be in the backseat with both hands free (skrrt-skrrt)

Right hand makin' plays on the iPhone, and my left hand grippin' on the BB, it's me (prr)

Praise the Lord for the life I'm livin', Big Smoke Records, alive and kickin'

Dinner in Milan with the finest women and none of us sexin', nah, I'm just chillin' (yeah)

Your taste level is my waste level, you ain't ever heard of the wine I'm sippin'

Heard you say this year's your year, then you better hurry up, boy, time is tickin'

I need a card that don't decline, every day's a party

I'm with my brothers and my choppers and my chargies

And we're still the same, ain't nothin' changed except the car keys

Vroom, vroom

I told her to gas me up, I need the gasoline

I'm tryna slide it in, just like a cash machine

I made a milli on this phone with a cracked screen

So don't beat around a bush, please, say what you mean (greaze)

Every day's a party

Bébé, yeah

Mon bébé, à moi, yeah-yeah

Stop, je m'appelle Big Smoke

Bonsoir mademoiselle

She recognize me, she say my name rings a bell

Je ne sais plus, tu es la plus belle

Don't sleep on me, I got dreams I'm tryna sell

Racks in the bank and I got P's on me as well

Been an undercover lover like Usher, I need a girl

Tryna leave the hood, jump on the jet, let's see the world, uh

Ouais, c'est vrai, j'ai un côté hippie

Devant toi, j'suis gênée, timide

Un côté best, un petit peu chippie

C'est ça, j'crois bien qu'il t'attire

Oh, no, j'parle français, le reste du monde, j'm'en bats les reins

On s'est rencontrés, on s'aimait, c'était pas l'plan

J'relis nos conversations, comment ça?

J'reconnais pas mon comportement

Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé

Évite, s'te plaît, de m'afficher, s'te plaît

Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé

Il m'a dit "s'te plaît, il faut pas afficher"

Yeah, baby girl, send me a flick one time

But don't send it if you're gonna post it online

I told my bro, lower your gaze, he knows you're mine

But still I know you're playing them games, you know you're fine

She's a freak, she's a flirt, Moelola skirt

She knows her worth, she's a diamond in the dirt

Real life baddie, you won't find her in a church

That's why I'm tryna press it like I'm ironing a shirt

Tu parles anglais? (Est-ce que tu parles français?)

Une petite pute and you looking prête à manger

We could take it slow, we could play the long game

Just say the word and baby, I'm on the way

I'm always in Paris like I'm Pharrell

Said they saw me in Matignon with a couple of girls

But tonight, I want nobody else

Think it's the way that you're talking got me under a spell

Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé

Évite, s'te plaît, de m'afficher, s'te plaît

Bébé, rien qu'à moi, mon bébé

Il m'a dit "s'te plaît, il faut pas afficher"

C'est eux contre nous, les autres en face sont K.O

Même si le monde est contre toi, je resterai ta go

C'est eux contre nous, les autres en face sont K.O

Même si le monde est contre toi, je resterai ta go

(I need that, I need that, I need that-)

Lil' white bitch on Depop, she a lil' teapot

Two left feet, them Reeboks

Shawty did freelance, now she a free thot

Should've never left the bitch alone with my sea moss

Now the bitch skip-hip-hoppin' in my Reeboks

Talking 'bout a detox, pussy like a beatbox

All grown up, bitch lookin' like Selena

That booty ch- (I need that, I need that, I need that-)

That booty- (could've been, could've been, could've been)

Could've been certi', could've been a G

Should've never snitched, why you talkin' to police?

Now they lookin' at you funny when you walkin' down the street

Lookin' at you like food, tryna see what they can eat

Me, I'm like Wallo and Gillie with the game

You don't really wanna act silly, behave

When I walk on stage, then a milli' gets made

I need that, I need that, I need that

Greaze, I feel sorry for Skepta

They copied his flow, but they said that it's a new flow

Imitation don't flatter me, but it's cool though

Shouldn't ever left the guy alone in my studio

Put them in a coffin, get the man a tombstone

Yeah, I got half of the price of a Q though

Livin' like a boss man, nothin' like Hugo (huh?)

I need that, I need that, I need that good price

When the plug turn paigon, tweakin', talkin' inflation (huh?)

Peace is needed, gettin' impatient

Blud, everybody gettin' complacent

Leg work, step on the pavement

Victory lap, I'm back in the station (bow, bow, bow)

I'm really a psycho, Patrick Bateman

If you see her with me, she's taken

I need that, I need that, I need that

I smoke loud, but I never get lousy

Black swan, Darren Aronofsky

Plug said he want 16 for the pound

But I'm tryna get it under a rack like Saudi

Iced out watch, and my diamonds, they cloudy

Four rings, never came with the Audi

Grills like Foreman

I put my money where my mouth is

And I don't want to smile, just 'low me

No new friends, I got mob ties

Where would I be without the guys?

We get fly, argue a thousand times

We tell jokes 'til the tears come out your eyes

You know the haters hate when you're out of sight

I hear them say we sold out

Yeah, we sold out everything except humble pie

One slice cut a man down to size, like

Could've been certi', could've been a G

Should've never snitched, why you talkin' to police?

Now they lookin' at you funny when you walkin' down the street
