1 Truth Talk prod. by Geo
Everything I say record that s***
Don’t waste none of that s***
Red wine, flipping Yak, what is it?
Couvoursier, Guinness, none
Dont waste none of that my g
Just keep.. the flipping button pressed red
Record that shit..
It’s all love man, I love you man man
Real talk. Let’s go! Let’s do this ting!
Say nothing you ain’t gotta do no talking my g
Shhh! I let my balance do the talking for me
Say nothing you ain’t gotta do no talking my g
Yeah! I let my balance do the talking for me
Say nothing you ain’t gotta do no talking my g
Shhh! Let the balance do the talking for me
Yeah I let my balance do the talking for me
Yeah, I let my.. Yo!
I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me!
My fam talk for me! My fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKES!!!
I let the tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES!!!
I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me
The fam talk for me! The fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKES!!!
I let my tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES!!!
I let my watch talk for me, no time to waste
I let the vibes talk for me, I don’t watch face
Spare me the spiel I know money ain’t everything
But it does have a way of taking care of many things
Breda passed away body had to get cremated
That’s the cheaper option so his fam had to take it
Don got his head blown, couldn’t get a head stone
None of the gang didn’t put up no bread for him
Forget bitches yo these niggas ain’t loyal
Born alone same way you’re going to the soil
Nowadays I ain’t trying to take nothing personal
To the point where I feel I have to start cursing you
To the point where I feel like getting straps and burs’ing you
On a grown man ting darg I ain’t nursing you
I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me!
My fam talk for me! My fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKES!!!
I let my tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES!!!
Listen, I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me
My fam talk for me! The fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKES!!!
I let my tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES!!!
Let me go!
Skrr! Pull up on a cat
I’m cooling on the map I never count the collat’
I just run the pack and I don't need a gat
C'mon now think bro, we can all eat nice
All my links know, even when I was low
You know how the ting go,
My spirit always stayed up so I never been broke
I don't fuck with “broke bredas” they're hyenas
Laughing on the move - take you out to the cleaners
All my people royalty trust me I mean it
Just know I wouldn't vouch for it if I hadn't seen it
Phoned Geo up and told him he’s a genius!
I mean it
I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me!
My fam talk for me! My fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKES!!!
I let my tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES!!!
I let my yutes talk for me! The truth off’a me
My fam talk for me! My fans talk for me!
My gang talk for me! MAN LIKE CAKEY!!!
I let my tunes talk for me! I STILL GOT THE TAPES G!!!
C’mon, real s***, c’mon
C’mon, nothing but the real init
You see what I’m saying
Tried and tested
Nothing but the real
Quality controlled init
You see what I’m saying
Big up the real man init
You see what I’m saying
That’s all I gotta say init
Big up the real man
Nothing but the real init
That’s what we keep feeding them
Tried and tested
You see what I’m saying

Streets Is Nuts

Yeah I’m just reflecting man, it’s your boy Cakey
The one and only Mr. Kipling and it ain’t nothing missing Everything right and exact and cut with finest precision
You get me, how it’s meant to be.
King James on the court making moves like the Captain
Like Lebron not the “Editing-the-facts” King
Rappers front for the cameras they’re acting
Like Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson
Yo my breda got a press - no Caxton!
Told the plug, “tell the connect, “it’s action!””
Told him, “come take a pic - no caption!,
If the flick gets a lot of likes then we’re mashing”
(It’s a mazza!)
I was out on the road like the foxes
Like Amazon dropping off the boxes
Had the farmer on the phone, man who cropped it
Had him cutting up kees like a locksmith
I’m talking 9’s, 18’s, 36’s
Had my line popping off like a biscuit
Put my life on the line, had to risk it
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
Still married to the game like the Mrs. yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
Still married to the game that’s the Mrs. yo
Yo, wise men brought some gifts to the manger
En route faced all types of danger
For the fam, I was out like a ranger
My mum told me that you can’t trust a stranger
Feds active, judges dishing prison time
Dumb bredas moving bait - frigging fishing lines!
Some bredas started shotting ‘cause they started spitting Grime
Some bredas started rapping, they were shotting living fine (It’s a mazza!)
Cakes was spitting rhymes, back in ’96
Kicking knowledge when I was doing grimey s***
Really wasn’t try’na bait up my line and s***
And I weren’t try’na make up the rhymes and s***
Who wins when we glamourise and hype the s***?
When a black youth dies they don’t cry and s***!
Put your life on the line, bredas died and s***
Get the money then we go buy designer s***(!?)
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
Still married to the game like the Mrs. yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
The streets is nuts but I can never diss it yo
Still married to the game that’s the Mrs. yo

I had a fight with my little brother
Seven years younger, we got the same dad and same mother
Even though he was in the wrong and I was in the right
I lost that position when I tried to have a fight
Mum jumped in, broke it up and hurt her leg
I’m sorry Mum I’m listening to every thing you said
That day I made a promise and I pledged to myself
That I’ll use these hands of mine to help and hurt nobody else Cause it’s..

We spend six months outta every year in an atmosphere
That’s no good for the youths and the adults there
S***’s going right then we fight then I’m outta there
Then I post a picture up and caption it “I’m outchea”
Then I search the hashtag: toxic relationship
That’s what we’re in and we‘re gonna have to face the s***
I hate the s*** we do to each other outta spite
Before it gets too dark we need to see the light
Cause it’s..

Last verse is for my youths, Riri and Little Chuks
If theres one thing I owe both of you it’s the truth
If life gets rough and things ever get tough
Don’t ever cuss too much it’s God you should trust
You can either worry or you can have faith
Either way everyday miracles take place
When I get home tired from a long days graft
And I see both your faces ‘much joy in my heart
Cause its..

Spiral up with positive energy

A smiles a remedy it’s good to see
That’s the key that we need to set us free
Spiral up with positive energy

I only smoke on the livest weed
If it ain’t politics I don’t burn Bush
We got London smelling like Amsterdam
Got Lemon, got Cheese, got Kush
One time I had to ask a man for Rizla
He said, “Geezer, I’ve only got Raws”
Then he asked if i’d give him a spliff
I said “Nah fam I’ve only got draws”
It’s gonna cost you four fivers mate
He said, “Ahh man, I’ve only got scores”
I said, “That’s cool, walk down the corridor,
And knock three times on the green door”
I got home and my girl’s trying to stress me
I could tell that she wanted a fight
I sat down and started crushing up the sess weed
Rolled it up and said, “Have you got a light babes?”
I…

I was chilling at home one night
My baby she was cussing said she wanna fight
Ooooooohhh noooo, Not tonight!
Caker Don he called me the phone
He said, “Come down to the studio shit’s going on”
Oooonnnn and ooooonnn, this shit’s gonna be long!
Baby I’m sorry but I gotta go,
Dem man dem said they need me at the studio
Oohhh ooh ooohhhhh, let’s not fight tonight!
Jumped in the whip and I hit the road
Look round, foot down cause I gotta blow
Oooonnnn and ooooonnn, let’s get high tonight!

No Time To Waste

You already know, done know Shai Seven!
Big Cakes!
Origarmy!
All that good stuff!
Exceedingly Good Cakes!
Morfius!
You get me though?!
You get me though?!
You get me though?!
Tongue twist her, I don't kiss her though
She said she missed me, I don't miss her though
I ain't her nigga though
She ran her mouth, I didn't diss her though
I didn’t shout like Mystikal
I just missed her call
And when she cut her eye and asked why
I just acted fly and mystical
Like I missed the ball
Baby miss with the BS
Cause I've had a long day I need to destress
I’m try’na calm down my nerves on a G Flex
So I phoned up my shotta like, “ah me next!,
On a scale of 1 to 10 what's the food saying?”
Said he's got “the Kryptonite”
He calls it “Louis Lane”
Got “the powers of the Lemon with some new strains”
I'm like, “cut the long story what are you saying?
Where are you staying?
Right now darg, send the location.
I'ma fly down come get that cause waiting is long!”
He said, “Nah fam I beg you kick back!
I just got the ting, I gotta go yard and split that,
I’ma fly right back on road, its you first”
“Put a lil’ extra on the top and fucking hurry up!
It's cold outside my bae wants to cuddle up,
I'm try’na give her this D and then bun a ziggy,
And I don't want no interruptions when we're getting busy,
Hurry up, drop the ting and come and get the Lizzy!”
Keep the fire burning, got the zoot blazing
I need love based on trust not a fake ting
Keep the ting in motion, couple hearts aching
No time to waste there's money to be making
Keep the fire burning, got the zoot blazing
I need love based on trust not a fake ting
Keep the ting in motion, couple hearts aching
No time to waste there's money to be making
Money to be making, backs to be breaking
Technically linking, we ain't even dating
Told the mandem about the link and got ratings
Never said specifics though, we were just debating
Money to be making, backs to be breaking
Technically linking, we ain't even dating
Told the mandem about the link and got ratings
Never said specifics though, we were just debating
About peng tings that have a breda’s heart aching
Taking her arse into consideration
Had me parked up half hour at the station
Talking to myself like, “There’s virtue in your patience”
Waiting, same way I waited for the Kryptonite
Jumped in my whip looking like I'm gonna hit tonight
And my whip German, couple heads turning
No indicating that she got my fire burning
Got the zoot blazing, calm no racing
Took a drive round town and stopped round Leyton
Don't like raving, not a Champagne ting
Rather drink Henney from a cup and get brains in
My whip, pull up to the next location
Bonney and Clyde shit, money to be making
Chances for taking, I ain't try’na miss that
Cut a cake with the fam G shit, we live that
Keep the fire burning, got the zoot blazing
I need love based on trust not a fake ting
Keep the ting in motion, couple hearts aching
No time to waste there's money to be making
Keep the fire burning, got the zoot blazing
I need love based on trust not a fake ting
Keep the ting in motion, couple hearts aching
No time to waste there's money to be making

Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
It’s a such cold world my brother keep your fleeces on
Hold a meds and try picture peace when the beast is gone
Bare bobbies on the beat hell yeah the streets is warm
Hot like wearing no socks with your sneakers on
Got me all eating wrong Dominos pizza life
Shotting bare food on road still aint eating right
Been a fortnight and I haven't even seen the wife Randomly creep in the crib like a thief at night
Brrr!
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Its cold a world player haters wanna beat the wife
Takes a good girl to step back and just leave the hype
Takes a lot of patience to regulate the diva type
And take them sunshades off her face and make her see the light
When you read between the lines my g you gotta read it right
It’s a cold world if my bruddas can't read or write
Shallow like the puddle that you’re watching on your sneaker hype
Blinded by the ice and I aint talking bout the freezer type
Brrr!
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
I’m colder than the polar regions in the seasons of hibernation
Ice the nation it’s freezing
Isolation watch the mates that you’re keeping
Cause sheep shape shift into snakes when you’re sleeping
I know how it goes but I can’t tell you why it’s like that
They smile in your boat but in your back is where their knife’s at
You wrote your wifey from the pen she didn’t write back
She hopes you get the message fam it’s colder than an ice pack
Brrr!
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Colder than the arctic in the winter
Left your body deep ina di freezer
Watch how mi turn down your temperature
Give you di cold shoulder fi go lean pon
Rappers so moist I had to turn down the temperature
For actors here I make the atmosphere like December’s
Taking no chat but we’re taking legal tender
Snowman so cold I’ll stroll on your embers
Taking no prisoners I’m gonna kill your messenger
Like the Jews done to Christ but really it was meant for ya
Moving like Spartans you guys are wearing tartan
Cut your journey short like the District Line at Barking
Brrr!

The feds came late after every last bullet
And locked off the scene now they wanna ask stupid Questions, no doubt some yutes got arrested
Meanwhile the whole ends was flooded with forensics
Real intense every road had Popo
CID tryna get info from hobos
Body on the floor tent up they didn’t clean it up
Dudes taking pictures chicks bugging out screaming F***!
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
I was high up in the block toking on my indo
Watching it all go down from the window
Only get reception there when i heard my ringtone
I got up to take the call and heard the big ting go
The first might’ve missed but the second was a direct hit
The victim’s brethren had a strap too so he fired it
The shooter got shot in the arm that he was shooting with
Dropped the strap it went off, he didn’t mean to shoot the kid!
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
(….)
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
Bullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
Bullets flying bullets flying
Hear the siren hear the siren
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
Tullets flying from the iron
Hear the siren mothers crying
The yute dem dying pon di road
Tings are spiralling outta control
