*Lyrics below* 👑
[Verse]
They were blocking bare
But now I'm rocking here on a rocking chair
Yeah, the block is here, yeah, the block is here
At the top of stairs, nigga, Rocky's here
Self-centred
Everybody tell me that I'm self-centred
But they ain't got a fucking clue
Another nigga gone, that's like the twelfth sentence
Changes
Shit's much different from the dangers
Shit looks different from the neighbours
Yeah, shit's much different, it was dangerous
That was man's bredrin, now we're strangers
We pop, bang, serve a nigga saviours
I watched man begging "nigga, save us"
And that man's never put in wages
I'm mentally fucked
I'm mentally scarred, I'm meant to be up
I'm meant to be high, I'm meant to be chuffed
Fam, I fought for my life, I'm mentally stuck
Man, I jump out my chair, you're mentioning Buck
They just lock niggas up, they sent for the cuffs
Had to call up my girl and sent for my stuff
Fam, the day I walked out, it went through my guts
So in charge
Everybody's watching, nigga, so it starts
Everybody's watching, thinking 'Oh, we're stars'
Everybody's showing cards
But that's that
Cause man's just pussy like a black cat
And man's just looking like a flash chap
DSquared jacket and a flash cap
I'm made for this
I came for that, I paid for this
I changed for this
I never left, I stayed for this
Fucking hell
I do this for my niggas that are stuck in jail
I do this for my niggas that got up and fell
I do this for my brothers, nigga, fuck a cell
Lord, thank you for your blessing, man
Every bloody morning, nigga gotta get that blessing, fam
Gotta bring that message, fam
Peanut butter sticky, get me out that messy jam
Them Giuseppe shoes won't delay that speshy bang
We was them Peckham dudes, jumping out like Peckham man
Old school
Smoking on that Method Man
Man was in the trap working all long, it was late
You was in a bar, out with a blonde and her mate
Bag of dots in the whip, it was on, it was bait
Man would quickly pass through, say I'm gone and I skate
I was sleeping before, now it's on, I'm awake
I ain't asking for nothing, I want it, I take
couple of mistakes but nothing to worry about ;)
or giggs just changed one or two words and no one noticed.
COLORS c
Ils bloquaient nus
Mais maintenant je me balance ici sur une chaise à bascule
Oui, le bloc est ici, oui, le bloc est ici
Au sommet de l'escalier, nigga, Rocky est ici
Auto-centré
Tout le monde me dit que je suis égocentrique
Mais ils n'ont pas une putain d'indice
Un autre nigga disparu, c'est comme la douzième phrase
Changements
La merde est très différente des dangers
La merde est différente des voisins
Oui, la merde est très différente, c'était dangereux
C'était le bredrin de l'homme, maintenant nous sommes des étrangers
Nous sautons, frappons, servons un sauveurs nigga
J'ai regardé l'homme en train de supplier "nigga, sauve-nous"
Et cet homme n'a jamais mis dans les salaires
Je suis mentalement baisée
Je suis mentalement marqué, je suis censé être debout
Je suis censé être élevé, je suis censé être chuffé
Fam, je me suis battu pour ma vie, je suis coincé mentalement
Mec, je saute sur ma chaise, tu parles de Buck
Ils enferment les niggas, ils envoient les poignets
J'ai dû appeler ma fille et j'ai envoyé mes affaires
Fam, le jour où je suis sorti, ça m'a traversé les tripes
Donc en charge
Tout le monde regarde, nigga, donc ça commence
Tout le monde regarde, en pensant 'Oh, nous sommes des stars'
Tout le monde montre des cartes
Mais c'est ça
Parce que l'homme est juste la chatte comme un chat noir
Et l'homme a l'air d'un type flash
Veste DSquared et une casquette flash
Je suis fait pour ça
Je suis venu pour ça, j'ai payé pour ça
J'ai changé pour cela
Je ne suis jamais parti, je suis resté pour ça
Putain d'enfer
Je fais ça pour mes négros qui sont coincés en prison
Je fais ça pour mes négros qui se sont levés et sont tombés
Je fais ça pour mes frères, nigga, baise une cellule
Seigneur, merci pour ta bénédiction, homme
Chaque matin sanglant, nigga dois obtenir cette bénédiction, fam
Je dois apporter ce message, fam
Beurre de cacahuètes collant, faites-moi sortir cette confiture malpropre
Les chaussures Giuseppe ne retarderont pas ce speshy bang
Nous étions les mecs Peckham, sautant comme un homme Peckham
Vieille école
Fumer sur cette méthode Man
L'homme était dans le piège qui travaillait depuis longtemps, il était tard
Vous étiez dans un bar, avec une blonde et son compagnon
Sac de pois dans le fouet, c'était sur, c'était appât
L'homme passerait rapidement, dis je suis parti et je patine
Je dormais avant, maintenant c'est sur, je suis réveillé
Je ne demande rien, je le veux, je prends...
Because no speak english ;)
😅
This beat is so luxurious.
MAJESTIC more like
Perspicacious
Soothing. Exactly what you need after Street life.
The U.K is a gold mine for music
it really is.
if you're not familiar with Hospital Records, I highly suggest them.
Big up yourself 9 times
It’s all Jamaicans and the rest are copiers. Imitators in the scene
@@sefp relax G
@@bigzy8183 if the truth sounds threatening seek a psychiatrist. Or police.
The level of chill in this is unbelievable.
Ashanti Maluleke 4real 😂😂😂
bruh
Giggs the king of waves for real
I’m in love, only just realised how attractive he is
Facts
Whoever produced the beat deserves a grammy 🔥
He killed this beat - let Eminem go at it; Giggs done wonders
For real!
Dang the way he goes in is too much. Thought he'd miss his queue to start and he just laughs and hits it smooth without hesitation or nerves. Giggs is cold
Hes got a great understanding of timing and flow - hes way more original than people give him rep for, in terms of timing on the beat, Drake et al are catching on to the space he leaves only NOW
I loved that part so much! It was so smooth and confident.
You Thought! lol
Type of bredren lurking in the hedges with a Mask & Glove
That was too cold ngl. Was thinking why's he still talking lmao
That voice switch into the flow. This man has understood the assignment since the day he was born. Incredible piece.
props for who ever made that beat
Prod. by cool & dre
for real!
Amoda K id kill this beat!!! Hell of a beat
The feels...
Truss me
Can we just appreciate the Sound engineers working for Colors? They release songs sounding clearer than the original.
To put it plain and simple - This is just a masterpiece. Absolutely flawless.
HIS VOICE IS VERY RARE
based god
Logan Molloy agrees with this statement (sc: loganmolloy10)
Where's the guys at with his voice
Kinda like SA's Kwesta..... 👌👍👊
Fact
THIS JOINT STILL GETS ME HYPE 😂🔥 I went word for word
How this comment ain’t got more likes
👀 ehh
@@thabzcfc6552 nice pfp bro
Dawg he ate
Damn the energy
Im a simple guy.
I see Giggs.
I see Colors.
I click.
Logan Molloy agrees with this statement (sc: loganmolloy10)
So true
🙌🏽
Same hear so easy !! .. Bless Up . 🙏🇬🇧🤘💯
Easy Squeezie
This has always been my favourite beat, it's magical
What's the best called?
The beat flows with the lyrics and the voice so fluently
The way he casually jumps in right after talking to the mans in the background at the start is crazy. This track is mad chill !
One of the greatest out of the UK
Zak_MB too right g
💯
* the greatest
Lol nah u must b from us
rozzy 20 I am & I think so..
That beat was made for him. The flow and his voice go so well with the beat 🔉🔊
Yessssss undoubtedly one of UKs greats
without a doubt and this tune is special
Giggs on Colors. The scene is breaking down boundaries. Salute to the pioneers.
I feel stupid for not appreciating this song up until now
Fucking Byze in the wild on COLORS???? Love your vids
BYZE whats the name of song
datboi forthere you should check the title of the video
Wow, and this is the original Giggs flow from like 07
BYZE this is me right now 😩
Giggs best tune for me. It’s like it all comes together on this track. Bars, flow, delivery, production.
GIGGS IS THE BEST. LOOK AT HOW HE FLOWS WITH NO EFFORT!!!!
I always come back to this song when I need some peace of mind
This song is so real . you feel every word
This might be one of the best beats I've ever heard.
so unexpected🔥
have to applaud the colors team for this one
JDalive listen to my music
This, followed by "look what the cat dragged" is a golden playlist metaphorically and literally a 11/10, other-worldly feeling good song . one of the best to have done it no caps at all
Never heard of this cat in the States but he got a slick voice and smooth delivery I could do 80 mph on the freeway listening to this
uk legend
" i do this for my people , who got up and fell " - Giggs
my favourite song from giggs, by far. hell of a vibe
This version is even better than the album version somehow
Just like Jorja Smith's 'Blue Lights'
@@SupaVlinSantonE yeah earthgang too
The fact
Yes bredda! Such a deep tune!
Colours versions are ALWAYS better!
*giggs voice* YEEHHH.
YEEEEHHHHHH
*cough* *cough* YEHHH
*Giggs voice* UUHHH
Nur La grande listen to my music
Nur La grande I
I hope Charlie Sloth sees this and realises how much better FITB would be if he kept his sausage fingers off that stupid sound board.
Charlie Sloth is fucking moron. The fact he is the face of the UK's underground rap/hip hop/grime is a travesty.
Cattro Unity I probably wouldn't go as far as calling him the face of the underground scene, but I definitely agree that his reach/influence outweighs his abilities and whatnot.
Yeah, I sorta meant that in the BBC; kinda shows how much they know about those genres.
Cattro Unity 100% agree, and it amazes me how much he has lasted.. It's absolutely ridiculous!
Lol
Year later this one still has me bopping chill.
This is so damn good. His sick flow and that tasty beat.
Giggs just making it look easy!
Sounds cleaner then official Mixtape audio.
Carl Springer facts lol
how did they mange to that . its sounds amazing
Colors always sounds better.
Always the case with colours. Someone’s sprinkling some sauce behind the scenes
Sounds way crazier than the Spotify version
Sounded EXACTLY like the studio version. This is real ARTISTRY.
Words just flow like water. Sensational 💯
Mr Giggs with his smooth voice and smooth flow. His voice is so deep.
Man like giggs! colors never seems to surprise me with the content. Need youngs tef on here asap
Mcbiggen DTA Chillie won't happen sadly
Never seems to surprise you or never fails to surprise you?
hello gayly
@@ethan-vf6zq
The best the U.K. has ever had. The best the U.K. will ever have. End of story. If you haven’t heard him from the start until now, please don’t even bother arguing. The undisputed king of U.K. rap and hip hop 👑
Between giggs, nines and skepta for me. Too hard to decide can’t compare just enjoy.
I'm chill af. That flow went in.
This is becoming a frequent play in my playlist, maybe my favourite track of his 🔥🔥
This dude sounds so chilled out it's unreal!
Great song!
nobody was this chill at COLORS, what an artist; dang cuh
Old school Giggs on this tune, i love it! Can’t stop listening to this!
He came on the beat so smooth at the beginning
Still Slaps even in 2019 🔥🔥🔥
Never heard of Giggs when I pressed play, midway into the song, my head couldn't stop bobbing
Favourite tune from Wamp 2 Dem
UKGrimeRapTV by farrrrrrr, i literally just found this version tho. Sounds so clear lol
Only just discovered this one, absolute fire
Michael Jackson style here I thought!
This is Beautiful its frustrated but cocky, calm but lit, pain with prosper, emotional but empty, its f*cking genius! Respect 👍👌
2years later and i still can spit a motion picture to this💯🗣️🎥
wasn't expecting this on this channel, hard nonetheless
innit i just woke up and saw it
Look what colours dragged in
Lol
ethan listen to my music
UR3ANFISH 😂

YEAR 2021 AND THIS JOINT STILL GETS ME HYPE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
2023 and stilllllllllll fire
I love British rap.
Grime*
@@SonofGodx Giggs has a chilled rap flow, this is definitely not grime
@@SonofGodx This is not grime, don't try to correct people on something you obviously know nothing about
@Sven Niles 100% incorrect. It's the child of UK Bassline and garage/jungle. FACT. Has no relation to "rap" at all. Regardless, Giggs isn't grime anyways, he's a UK Rapper. Not a Grime artist. Zimme
@@SonofGodx this isnt grime bro
“Self centred. Everybody tells me that I’m self centred, but they don’t have a f***king clue!” 🙌🏽
Jheeze - The Godfather went in!!
Wth what are u doing here go back to posting SL tunes fam😂
He is the Landlord
Wiley is grime, Giggs is UK Rap, Giggs is the Godfather of UK Rap
benet parker Godfather of UK rap
Literally the originator or UK gangster/road rap
Wiley’s grime g
Check this beat and tempo, far from grime
Wtf since when did Giggs get The Godfather title, Wiley will always be the Godfather
Can't believe how this grammy deserving gem was dropped on just a mixtape without much hype to it. A fooking mixtape blud The Essence will go down as one of giggs top 5 no questions asked
So uplifting, massive line of music 🎧
I listen to this everyday
Rick Ross is the only other person who can successfully hop on this beat
This is 100% Rozay tune which is to be expected since it was produced by Cool and Dre, Rozay sound engineers
The way he is soo chilled....👣 its like he knows the song is good and dont even need no convincing! GIGgssssssssssssss
I knew this was gona be HARD the second the beat dropped.
The national hero of UK Rapp flow is timeless
This guy was my teenhood - even though i didn't listen to grime much. If you're talkin your 'ardest 🎤
He never did grime lol Talkin Da hardest was a road rap tune
Can listen to his voice for ever! So chilled, love him x
Love from france to uK brother.
soo effortless maynn giggs is ice cold
Dope beat dope track got that old school 90s beat in it
Best giggs flow for time reminds me of the old school like my steering mahogany times !!
When ur tv goes fuzzy and u grab a hammer!!
That Giggs “Yeah” hit different
one of the most beautiful songs to come out of the uk
Back again, can't stop listeing to this!
Nobody is like Giggs my guy made it because he's real and humble could listen to him all day everyday pure poetry real stories he brings ❤ it to the table 💯 🎶
this is sooo smooth!!!
Vintageena listen to my music
Still vibin' to this in 2021. Love me some Giggs! The goat. Shout out to the UK!! 🔥🔥😌🔥🔥
#fire
Giggs is the man, but I’m back again for the tune. The record, the production. Amazing beat... 👌🏻⁉️
The beat is perfect for Hollow man.. he goes innn on this.. vibes
Giggs is harder than a rock on this one! Hats off! ♤♡
2021 and I discovered this song last year. I ride to this everyday! 💙
BIG GIGGS THE GOAT
Mango Juice Music eyyy mango juice I see ya

My favourite track off the album
.."Them Guiseppe shoes won't delay the speshi bang" ..at least he's trying to out the hood mental! :) utmost respect to Giggs, single-handily enabled a whole scene..a true legend in the scene that was paved by the Roots Manuva's, Blaktwangs,Skimmy mans, Rodney P's, Taskforce, Jehsts and many more!!
One of my favourite tracks on wamp to dem. Fam Giggs is just a legend, one of the greats💯🙌🏾
How is it when we open our ears everything we know just stops and starts again in a different way.
Even though Giggs is chill af and steady, this gets me hyped
that voice is.... wow
This is the most song. Makes me feel, gonna play it while I.
Different breed 🐐
The man the myth the legend..... greeez
he’s so tranquil 😂
Lol its like he put the T in that word
its the hollow man tone 🤝😂
Oh goodness is he the cutest thing when he smiles.
Hollowman 🔥
