Avelinos verse is absolutely unreal. Hard to go before or follow Wretch, but he absolutely killed it. Props to him for being part of the best FITB ever 👏🏻
My late parter and I used to listen to this, gave us goosebumps!! What a FITB to remind me of him, he passed on July 2nd 2022. Knew each other 35 years. RIP Mark, forever missed 🫶🏼, absolutely amazing talent, never will be beaten 🙏🏼
i don't know if you will see this but your comment is so heart warming! I'm sorry for your loss but your partner is still with you every time you listen to this song! Stay strong
@@joedermody2609 thank you so much for your reply, he’s always with me but definitely more when I watch this, still remember the first time he played this for me and he watched my reactions, when the tears of emotion stung my eyes and all I could say was “wow” And he said to me “yeah I know” ❤️
He in a better place now pal tk care n enjoy wot time u got left 🙏✌️from Scotland 🏴 gd bless yer partner looking down on you chin up and he’ll be saying Wish she no a was up here wae 2pac biggie n eazy e playing the PlayStation 20 haha stay strong 💪🏻 GBNF 🎵
Got to see him at the 2012 Olympic torch hand off. Wretch 32 is something else, man's got a stage personality that just projects this aura of a champion
Only because people try to compare it wrech is 10 + I have not seen any better freestyle us, uk Can't speak any other languages but doubt that there is better. Maybe in space
@@ryanmcguckin9491 Yeah, but I think there's more emotion in it too along with the doubles/triples. Both verses were really good but I think Wretch's is better. He isn't punching as much as Avelino either which makes it all more subtle and some of the bars harder to catch.
If it wasnt followed by wretch's it would have been given more respect, but unfortunately it was followed by one of the best lyrical verses of all time in my opinion, so naturally it was overshadowed
2022, i still sit here with a beer at the end of my workday, chuck my headphones on and just feel the vibe. The vibe never goes away with this track. I feel the exact same way i did when i first ever heard it, 7 years is a long time to vibe to some random bars on TH-cam. Im not much of a TH-cam commenter but i just wanted to show the man some love. See you in 2029
For context, am a South Afircan 46 year-old single mum. Never came across you guys, I'm a 90s raver! This is beyond! Your words are sublime, landing deep. Hear something new every time I listen! So clearly watched this loads, always got so irritated with xxx and his disruptions. Have 180'd, and just like all proper fans feel, I see a human absorbed in total disbelief how this track connects. ❤
"Hard work breeds success, and although I'm in labor I need a mid-wife, there's so much pressure to deliver, but I'll deliver." I paused and stood there for a minute gasping. Underrated rapper... Respect for Avelino.
I wonder if wretch realised how far this would go. I mean seriously this has become a legendary fire in the booth and it represents UK rap at its finest.... Its 2020 and the views are still going up... I listen to it nearly every day at work. Charlie was right to do the re-up... it makes it even better.... Just still... after all these years listening to it....... it never gets old for me......MADNESS....
Echoing other fam here, I hated it first, now it just makes me laugh, Charlie is just thick hype, love it. As an American, UK rap/grime/hiphop have showed me a completely different angle of my own language. Bless these bros.
Music is Medicine. Wretch got lost in the music right there and it showed. Natural flow with full emotion. Best fire in the booth right there. Mandatory to watch this once every so often. Goose bumps every time. Smashed it wretch!!!
Can you tell me what tune is Wretch going with?? Im onky asking coz I noticed you comment only 6 day ago.. I keep going back 2 this 4yrs its Timeless init bro both of there verses but Wretch is one of the best ever lyricist should of blown up over the States but they just think nothing happens outside America, Anyway I'd be greatful if you no pal👍 Think it mite of been a Kanye tune??
No one in the UK is at this level in my opinion. Even now in 2021. Best fire in the booth and the best artist to spit in the UK. Never had the credit he deserves.
Between these two, Bashy & Devlin you have the 3 best FITB’s of my generation, all these years later and i still get lost in every word from every bar Honestly unbelievable!!
"The titanic ain't going down because of me, see I can't swim but I be the anchor for the scene, see how do they expect musicians to stay a float when all our sales keep going down the stream".. You tink bout dat!
Wretch is such a poet. He’s not a rapper, he talks to you on a different level. When i listen to him I look at music different. Best for a reason! And yeah I’m still listening to this in 2020.
Here I am again. I was 14. Nothing lasts forever. Then he dropped punctuation. Then don’t go. This guy was always the the most complicated with lyrics. Only people that listened, listened. Again, a pleasure to grow up listening to you. Making my friends listen. It really is elite word play, rapping. 👍
I don't know much about Avelino but he went in. Wretch stole the show with his calm flow, this guy is definitely gonna go down as a legend of the scene years from now 💯💯
Can people take this in?? do you understand how talented and amazing of a wordsmith wretch 32 is??? This is hands down the best fire in the booth i have ever come across...

Honestly I've listened to probably 95% of the "fire In the booth" & I would say this is in 1 of the top 5 best rips I've ever heard from anyone and the fact he did it live in 1 take /2 witch is frankly unbelievable, I'd never heard of him up till this and after lessening to his albums I still come back to this as a Testament to how much power he put into his lyrics (Wretch underated) ... This probably won't even get read but for those who do and rate Wretch like this not for me but for Wretch thank you.
If you know about music and you know about Wretch from say 2008 ‘Wretchrospectice’ present day. You’d have to put him up there as one of the best of all time. He always looking for greatness in his bars and delivery. The type of artist that will still be around in 20 years.
I really wanted Avelino's verse to be longer. But both of them killed it. Best FITB ever. Nobody can compete with that. Nobody. This is too real fam 🙌🏼
After nearly 5 years of listening, thinkin I knew every bar inside out, I realised the "think they're Dr Dre until they lose their patience" bar was another double meaning. ( losing their patience and a Dr losing patients.) Both their verses are timeless and have such deep meaning I'm still finding new meanings years later. Lyrically 2 of the best artists in the country and maybe even the world.
+Talha yeah how do they expect musicians to stay afloat as in stay successful, survive and make money etc when all of the sales keep going down the stream as in people streaming music on the net etc
Avelino is literally staying in the zone with what wretch is spitting. That’s powerful bro, he’s shaking his head and nodding but he’s trying to understand the flow. Bless up both of them💪 wretch killed this riddem 💪
Boom Ol - Name one MC from the UK that is actually the same level as 32 though. He ain't about gang banging brap brap bullshit. He is heart and soul that is expressed by deep creativity, Unmatched intelligence in his bars, his rhyme schemes, his syllable and word play, he is humble as fuck. To be honest he's the only UK mc I would dare put up against the American rap legends, he's the only one from the UK who can mentioned in the same sentence as Nas. How many MC's even worldwide get that much credit that they can be put on the same pedestal as fucking big Nasty Nas
DecentStuff If we’re talking about British rappers you won’t find better than Kano and Wiley. If you want to find a talented American rapper, it’s a different story. Listen to Joyner Lucas, very underrated.

I've, been in hospital for just over a week now after unexpected spinal surgery and wasn't given a very good chance of recovering. My mental health has been really up and down, especially today. I had an mri scan earlier, where they put some headphones on you and play music to try and drown out the sound of the machine. Couldn't hear or care what was playing because after about 25 minutes I became really disorientated, I had gone completely numb from the waist down and my legs started kicking out uncontrollably. I was ready to push the button for them to pull me out of the machine when, clear as day I hear this through the headphones 4:08. Immediately wretch's lyrics start going through my head followed by a rush strength, enough to see me through the last part. I really want all artists to know that there is so much more power in your art than you can imagine you touch people and give them strength every day. Thanks for today wrench 32 coz even when I lose I'm a winner and if someone can tell me who's beat this is and pass on my thanks to them too I'd appreciate it ✌️

Soon 8 years ago and I still have not heard anything close to this. Goosebumps every single time.
The beat really brings it all together. PERFECT
Serious I always come back and still hits as hard as first time
Still. True dat
If you like Av's verse, you might like my song "thousandwordz." where i remixed it. Give it chance, you might be surprised !! 👍
Seriously
Avs verse is so overlooked because of how good Wretch’s was
His first 3 lines were just ridiculous, the wordplay is crazy
It’s just the build up to wretch it’s was the perfect combination
"I make a lot of noise being silent"
Aye poor avelino 😂😂 two of the hardest verses going
I think Av has better wordplay, but he didn't carry a salient message like 32
8 years later!
Still the best fire in the booth
I always come back to this. Its to good ❤
Masterpiece

This is the case study they teach in UK rap school for freestyles. Shit should be studied like Shakespeare.

Avelinos verse is absolutely unreal. Hard to go before or follow Wretch, but he absolutely killed it. Props to him for being part of the best FITB ever 👏🏻

Absolutely immense , the greatest fire in the booth 2024, still listening 🐐
No one knows the skills Avelino possess, spitting bars like that whilst blinking his bars in morse code, mans lit
ircallum obviously not
😂😂
Straight up, fire verse but unlucky being teamed up to wretch, Avelino is a ducking goat tho
Yes we can do it haha
Any idea name of beat for avelino part
October 2019. Gotta listen to this at least once a month.
3x a day
Shits fire
Same!!!
Haroon Ahmed hear hear
Yeah man so fu*king true
Absolutely criminal that this still isn’t on Spotify
Why did they take it off
Cuz “Spotify got the whole world moving crazy”, fam.
@@delatsawo4119 wtf as i was reading your comment he said “got the whole world moving crazy”
@@picklearchie1 It was never on there to my knowledge
Agreed
Who is here 2024 🔥
Me
Yep
Yes nowww
I always find myself back here! 🙏 Bars!!!!!!
Always
6 years in and I’m still coming back to this - still the best fire in the booth there ever was/will be.
What u talking about mate, you not heard RS 🔥🔥
@@georgemitchell1 still a hard fitb but in my opinion Kano's was better
Yes lad
It's very good, but my fav is Akala Pt 1
Come on what about all 4 akala fitb
2022 and this still remains undefeated. King Wretch.
Got to see him at the 2012 Olympic torch hand off. Wretch 32 is something else, man's got a stage personality that just projects this aura of a champion
Akala's fire in the booths are heavy competitors
Never heard of Ocean Wisdom?
@@Swaggasaurus90 I'll have to look it up
Eww5wwwq(
Avelinos verse is criminally underrated
Only because people try to compare it wrech is 10 + I have not seen any better freestyle us, uk
Can't speak any other languages but doubt that there is better. Maybe in space
Wretchs verse is amazing but it's the tune that makes it stand out so much
@@ryanmcguckin9491 Yeah, but I think there's more emotion in it too along with the doubles/triples. Both verses were really good but I think Wretch's is better. He isn't punching as much as Avelino either which makes it all more subtle and some of the bars harder to catch.
If it wasnt followed by wretch's it would have been given more respect, but unfortunately it was followed by one of the best lyrical verses of all time in my opinion, so naturally it was overshadowed
@td4341 also the beat makes wrench so good
If your here in 2024 your music taste is unreal!
2022, i still sit here with a beer at the end of my workday, chuck my headphones on and just feel the vibe. The vibe never goes away with this track. I feel the exact same way i did when i first ever heard it, 7 years is a long time to vibe to some random bars on TH-cam. Im not much of a TH-cam commenter but i just wanted to show the man some love. See you in 2029
Fair enough
Tears in my eyes you know
6yrs on & it still bangs ‼️‼️
See you in 2029!!!😅
You love to see it
Legend Says Avelino’s Head is Still Nodding To This Day.

And even if I was, d’you think there is something wrong with that? Grow up ffs
Touched a nerve did I lol ???, I take it back you un-original TH-cam comment thief... Cringe !!!
Andeey was gonna type this 😂😂
For context, am a South Afircan 46 year-old single mum. Never came across you guys, I'm a 90s raver! This is beyond! Your words are sublime, landing deep. Hear something new every time I listen!
So clearly watched this loads, always got so irritated with xxx and his disruptions.
Have 180'd, and just like all proper fans feel, I see a human absorbed in total disbelief how this track connects. ❤
Fellow mother here.. 45! This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
5 years on and I’m still pissed Charlie stopped it first time round
I’m not got to hear it twice rahhhh
When he did it the second time his enunciation was measurably improved. Charlie gave us a gift.
i know. Imagine how wretch feels lol
And he needed his headphones turned up haha
We all are lol. Its staged.
If Wretch was American he'd be classed as one of the best right now
True👌🏻
That is true, this is pure rap.
So true the way shitty lil Wayne is rated higher than wretch😶
harry stevens Relax Lil wayne has proven he's the one of the Goats, wretch ain't at that place yet.
a rapper which wasnt bought up around guns n violence
Respect to Avelino for blinking the Morse code to his lyrics
Hahahahahahahahahahaha fukin class
hahaha made my day this lad
Fucking killed me off this comment 😂😂😂😂
STOP IT LOL
hahahahaha
Doesn't matter how many times I watch this, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Timeless. Can't believe it's been 8 years.
"Hard work breeds success, and although I'm in labor I need a mid-wife, there's so much pressure to deliver, but I'll deliver." I paused and stood there for a minute gasping. Underrated rapper... Respect for Avelino.
That played as I read it haha
Wretch 32's fire in the booth still undefeated in 2019
Bugzy malone’s is better hands down
Akala fire in the booth part 4
Tapiwa Muza Berna edges it
Olly Henry bugzy malone is fire but nowhere as good as this
@@antoinegalmiche2562 Hands down 👌🏽
I wonder if wretch realised how far this would go.
I mean seriously this has become a legendary fire in the booth and it represents UK rap at its finest....
Its 2020 and the views are still going up...
I listen to it nearly every day at work.
Charlie was right to do the re-up... it makes it even better....
Just still... after all these years listening to it....... it never gets old for me......MADNESS....
Big ups from Denmark
lol I hated the re-up at first but now I love it. gold.
Cant find this on apple music? Anyway i can?? Thanks
Echoing other fam here, I hated it first, now it just makes me laugh, Charlie is just thick hype, love it.
As an American, UK rap/grime/hiphop have showed me a completely different angle of my own language. Bless these bros.
Wrecks part is so sick , you can listen like 20 times a day haha.
Music is Medicine. Wretch got lost in the music right there and it showed. Natural flow with full emotion. Best fire in the booth right there. Mandatory to watch this once every so often. Goose bumps every time. Smashed it wretch!!!
First day of 2023 gotta appreciate a tune every now n then
Always
Hope you had a good one troops.
8th day of 2023 and Avelino's still shaking his head
Can you tell me what tune is Wretch going with?? Im onky asking coz I noticed you comment only 6 day ago.. I keep going back 2 this 4yrs its Timeless init bro both of there verses but Wretch is one of the best ever lyricist should of blown up over the States but they just think nothing happens outside America, Anyway I'd be greatful if you no pal👍 Think it mite of been a Kanye tune??
Don know 💚🤍🧡
No matter how many times I watch this I can't stop being totally mesmerised by this FITB. The realest session I've ever seen
If you like Av's verse, you might like my song "thousandwordz." where i remixed it. Give it chance, you might be surprised !! 👍
No one in the UK is at this level in my opinion. Even now in 2021. Best fire in the booth and the best artist to spit in the UK. Never had the credit he deserves.
Maybe Bugzy Malone is at this level? I think, not lyrically, but his flow in my opinion is as good as Wretch 32 ;)
Bugsy n jordan both on this guys level but all 3 a playing a different game from every other
Check Lowkey Fitb, or mic righteous
Fr I agree. Wretch veryyyy underrated, shame.
m.th-cam.com/video/wx5K6KNgPMc/w-d-xo.html
Straight from the heart bruv, listened to this times and times over and still speaks to me ‼️🙏🏽
To this day this is the most perfect rap I have ever heard. The lyrics matching with the beat, the conviction……absolute class.
Yeah. 100% agreed
Great comment G. Almost every single line and bar has a double meaning. Best FITB of all time
Wretches verse is legendary. One of the most important moments in UK rap history
Sod UK rap history. 10,20,50 years from now. Bet people will still come back to this. This is just iconic UK. In general.
Bloody poetry.

Honestly unbelievable!!
"The titanic ain't going down because of me, see I can't swim but I be the anchor for the scene, see how do they expect musicians to stay a float when all our sales keep going down the stream".. You tink bout dat!

Depends on which you mean. YFOF wasn't what it should have been, but his latest one is mad

There's something so passionate about wretch's verse that keeps me coming back to this video.

At least once a week, only the 3rd set of bars ever that I've heard after 2pac dear mama and eminem who knew, alot of wretch went into this
Turn the mrs down for bed every time to here these bars
Wretch is such a poet. He’s not a rapper, he talks to you on a different level. When i listen to him I look at music different. Best for a reason! And yeah I’m still listening to this in 2020.
Wretch is not just a rapper he is a lyrical master

Here I am again. I was 14. Nothing lasts forever. Then he dropped punctuation. Then don’t go. This guy was always the the most complicated with lyrics. Only people that listened, listened. Again, a pleasure to grow up listening to you. Making my friends listen. It really is elite word play, rapping. 👍

People need to start giving Avelino some credit he went in.
Truss me

+steven shine he did but he chose the wrong time. avelino came with bazookas which is sicckkk but nobody knew wretch had built nuclear weapons

Can people take this in?? do you understand how talented and amazing of a wordsmith wretch 32 is??? This is hands down the best fire in the booth i have ever come across...
I always come here to pay hommage to these guys, especially Wretch 32. He's a legend in my book.
Them 2.9k dislikes are the amount of times Avelino shook his head
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I rate Avelino he spits straight flames but he blinked four million times during his verse and shook his head five million during Wretch's.
Some say he's still blinking and shaking that moosh to this day 🤣
😅😂😅
Charlie Perkins getting in those facial exercises
He’s soooooo invested in what he’s spitting and what wretch is saying that he doesn’t realise he’s shaking his head and blinking
He was feeling the music
Who’s listening in march 2024
Still banging darg
Yooo
🫶🏻
always, something about that era him mic lowkey ect shit was just different i can't explain to to it justice
Always have this tune on bet avelino still wobbling his head haha
Avelino killed it
Wretch brought it back to life and killed it again

Been feeling spirits while I'm driving, I should get me a ghost
Growing up, didn't know the difference 'tween the road and my home
Now I'm grown, I'm trying to buy every home on my road
Takeaway's been over-rinsed, I need a chef to come and live with me
Last time I picked up a pot-I nearly killed a fiend
I don't see a potent rapper out here that can mirror me
When I gave my kidneys to these kids, they must be kidding me
Do you remember playing operation? (Yeah)
That's how I feel about these compilations
Think they're the next Dr. Dre until they lose their patience
Saying the game's in a state, man that's an understatement
I mean, how much more gems can I drop-on the future?
How much of my fans might just not buy my new stuff?
We all got bars, but nobody here's a brewer
I'm bringing sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna
This is nonsense-past tense
I'm a rap genius-I've passed sense
So if you ain't got a 2-1, or you ain't 3-2, you gotta graduate before you pass Wretch
We got off on the wrong foot because you half-step
Meanwhile, I'm getting restless because I can't rest
Twenty-one hours I'm awake, the other three I'm in a daze writing what to say with my last breath
Can you not hear the difference? Even when it's in your system?
Every time I flip the script, I got a scripture
I've seen man go from the strip to the strip club
I'm tryna go from eating Rich Tea to the rich club
I used to wanna go from the bits to the BRITs cuz
And then I realised it's a fix when your skin's dark
Should I do a Kanye and keep it triller?
Fuck that-even when I lose, I'm the winner
I'm-the people's champ let me thank the people
Who-never got the point until they grabbed the needle
Niggas tried to minus my pluses just to divide my people
Who go from stepping on roaches to stepping by The Beatles
It's progression at its finest
They say my weakness is kindness
I killed 'em with success, cause it's timeless
Every verse is a verse from the chapter of writing
The Writing's on the Wall, we know who Destiny's Child is
King Kendrick or Jermaine Cole
Or are you saying "King Wretched" or "Jermaine's Cold"?
I'm trying to lay The Blueprint and give you Reasonable Doubt
So when you Watch the Throne, they can see me Change Clothes
Hang on, wait
You best believe that I'm a general
'Cause one of us have gotta compete at all the festivals
And I've been out here rapping for free before my testicles dropped
Man, I'm so credible, I'm incredible, ugh
They say a promise is a comfort to a fool
I'm lying if I want to say I live in comfort, I'm the truth
And this will be the best Fire in the Booth
And I doubt they'll tell you different when I'm standing in the room
Why? Different class
Sometimes you have to ask:
"Do you want to be the best in your country or your school?"
In a country full of rules, where we're selling lollipop to keep them sucking on our balls
It's survival of the fittest, so I'm Mo Farah
I'm black as Akon, just tryna to find my own Gaga
The less mercy you show could leave you merciless alone
But I'm yard grown, so I ain't taking no badda, nah
And Tidal's got the whole world moving crazy
It's like they rather free Spotify playlist
That's messed up, like them cops on the day shift
Who just can't stop and search without tazing
Shit seems shocking when you're reading about it
Six years old they was raiding my house, shit
Tryna find my uncle, didn't open my mouth, shit
My dad mighta killed me-no snitching on our ship

See I can't swim, but I'll be the anchor for the scene
See how did they expect musicians to stay afloat

Honestly I've listened to probably 95% of the "fire In the booth" & I would say this is in 1 of the top 5 best rips I've ever heard from anyone and the fact he did it live in 1 take /2 witch is frankly unbelievable, I'd never heard of him up till this and after lessening to his albums I still come back to this as a Testament to how much power he put into his lyrics (Wretch underated) ...

Still coming back to this over and over
I might have listened to this a hundred times over the years, for real it never fails to stun me. Wretch, what a lyricist.
Cannot deny Avelino either, pure intelligence.
im the same. it's just so beautiful. so much emotion always puts me in a better mood no matter what
even wretch and charlie knew that Avelino killed it but wretch absolutely took the throne with those bars and that instru
Apart from akala pt1 pt2 nothing even comes close. The instrumental is sick tho
If you know about music and you know about Wretch from say 2008 ‘Wretchrospectice’ present day. You’d have to put him up there as one of the best of all time. He always looking for greatness in his bars and delivery. The type of artist that will still be around in 20 years.
For me,this is still hands down the best fire in the booth, especially Wretch. Avelino's verse is underrated,but wretch's is just on another level.
If you like Av's verse, you might like my song "thousandwordz." where i remixed it. Give it chance, you might be surprised !! 👍
but ur not ave so na am good@@csar07.
Wretch made AV look like a rookie but on its own it's still the coldest verse I heard for yearssss

After nearly 5 years of listening, thinkin I knew every bar inside out, I realised the "think they're Dr Dre until they lose their patience" bar was another double meaning. ( losing their patience and a Dr losing patients.) Both their verses are timeless and have such deep meaning I'm still finding new meanings years later. Lyrically 2 of the best artists in the country and maybe even the world.

Avelino is literally staying in the zone with what wretch is spitting. That’s powerful bro, he’s shaking his head and nodding but he’s trying to understand the flow. Bless up both of them💪 wretch killed this riddem 💪
A real friend
Wit a tune ❤
Love this ❤❤❤
Ma bro
It's like wretch is the master and Ave is the student who's so close to becoming the new master. Both these dudes are what it means to be an mc.
Boom Ol - Name one MC from the UK that is actually the same level as 32 though. He ain't about gang banging brap brap bullshit. He is heart and soul that is expressed by deep creativity, Unmatched intelligence in his bars, his rhyme schemes, his syllable and word play, he is humble as fuck. To be honest he's the only UK mc I would dare put up against the American rap legends, he's the only one from the UK who can mentioned in the same sentence as Nas. How many MC's even worldwide get that much credit that they can be put on the same pedestal as fucking big Nasty Nas
akala is the master.
DecentStuff so who exactly would you say the best British MC is then🤔 waiting for this funny reply
DecentStuff are you American or British?
DecentStuff If we’re talking about British rappers you won’t find better than Kano and Wiley. If you want to find a talented American rapper, it’s a different story. Listen to Joyner Lucas, very underrated.

+WebsyHD then Akala came and set fire to the whole fucking country :D
kano is shit
Charlie was going to jump out the window cause the smoke in the room could have killed him
Every few months I gotta listen to this!!
LYRICS: (Wretch Verse)
Lately death's been getting ever so close
Been feeling spirits while I'm driving, I should get me a ghost
Growing up, didn't know the difference 'tween the road and my home
Now I'm grown, I'm trying to buy every home on my road
Takeaway's been over-rinsed, I need a chef to come and live with me
Last time I picked up a pot-I nearly killed a fiend
I don't see a potent rapper out here that can mirror me
When I gave my kidneys to these kids, they must be kidding me
Do you remember playing operation? (Yeah)
That's how I feel about these compilations
Think they're the next Dr. Dre until they lose their patience
Saying the game's in a state, man that's an understatement
I mean, how much more gems can I drop-on the future?
How much of my fans might just not buy my new stuff?
We all got bars, but nobody here's a brewer
I'm bringing sandwich to the beach in the hope of finding tuna
This is nonsense-past tense
I'm a rap genius-I've passed sense
So if you ain't got a 2-1, or you ain't 3-2, you gotta graduate before you pass Wretch
We got off on the wrong foot because you half-step
Meanwhile, I'm getting restless because I can't rest
Twenty-one hours I'm awake, the other three I'm in a daze writing what to say with my last breath
Can you not hear the difference? Even when it's in your system?
Every time I flip the script, I got a scripture
I've seen man go from the strip to the strip club
I'm tryna go from eating Rich Tea to the rich club
I used to wanna go from the bits to the BRITs cuz
And then I realised it's a fix when your skin's dark
Should I do a Kanye and keep it triller?
Fuck that-even when I lose, I'm the winner
I'm-the people's champ let me thank the people
Who-never got the point until they grabbed the needle
Niggas tried to minus my pluses just to divide my people
Who go from stepping on roaches to stepping by The Beatles
It's progression at its finest
They say my weakness is kindness
I killed 'em with success, cause it's timeless
Every verse is a verse from the chapter of writing
The Writing's on the Wall, we know who Destiny's Child is
King Kendrick or Jermaine Cole
Or are you saying "King Wretched" or "Jermaine's Cold"?
I'm trying to lay The Blueprint and give you Reasonable Doubt
So when you Watch the Throne, they can see me Change Clothes
Hang on, wait
You best believe that I'm a general
'Cause one of us have gotta compete at all the festivals
And I've been out here rapping for free before my testicles dropped
Man, I'm so credible, I'm incredible, ugh
They say a promise is a comfort to a fool
I'm lying if I want to say I live in comfort, I'm the truth
And this will be the best Fire in the Booth
And I doubt they'll tell you different when I'm standing in the room
Why? Different class
Sometimes you have to ask:
"Do you want to be the best in your country or your school?"
In a country full of rules, where we're selling lollipop to keep them sucking on our balls
It's survival of the fittest, so I'm Mo Farah
I'm black as Akon, just tryna to find my own Gaga
The less mercy you show could leave you merciless alone
But I'm yard grown, so I ain't taking no badda, nah
And Tidal's got the whole world moving crazy
It's like they rather free Spotify playlist
That's messed up, like them cops on the day shift
Who just can't stop and search without tazing
Shit seems shocking when you're reading about it
Six years old they was raiding my house, shit
Tryna find my uncle, didn't open my mouth, shit
My dad mighta killed me-no snitching on our ship
The Titanic ain't going down because of me
See I can't swim, but I'll be the anchor for the scene
See how did they expect musicians to stay afloat
When all our sales keep going down the stream?
AIAH whats the songs name if it is a song and what platform? lmk
@@Arvadidi as far as I know its not an official song. I stand corrected thou.

Tradition lives on.

Wretch’s bars gives me shivers

m.th-cam.com/video/wx5K6KNgPMc/w-d-xo.html

wretch was feeling that shit tho
@@TheHoffDudeThing wretch new that avelino killed it too
Respect fam
I feel so sorry for Av because his verse was FIRREEEE, but then Wretch came in...
Chatting shit avs bars were shit i alwasy skip past it lmao wretch is the god of the booth wys
Timeless masterpiece. These are anthem level bars. Been a hip hop head since vinyl and this compares to anything I've had the pleasure to hear.
If you like Av's verse, you might like my song "thousandwordz." where i remixed it. Give it chance, you might be surprised !! 👍
People don't give Avelino the credit he deserves
TooTrueSheep he's too much fire with the bars!!
Alie avelino is just seen as the shadow of wretch he deserves alot more credit
Avelino goes hard af on that instrumental do you know what it is
Avelino's bars are unreal
Real music people do
I've, been in hospital for just over a week now after unexpected spinal surgery and wasn't given a very good chance of recovering. My mental health has been really up and down, especially today. I had an mri scan earlier, where they put some headphones on you and play music to try and drown out the sound of the machine. Couldn't hear or care what was playing because after about 25 minutes I became really disorientated, I had gone completely numb from the waist down and my legs started kicking out uncontrollably. I was ready to push the button for them to pull me out of the machine when, clear as day I hear this through the headphones 4:08. Immediately wretch's lyrics start going through my head followed by a rush strength, enough to see me through the last part.
I really want all artists to know that there is so much more power in your art than you can imagine you touch people and give them strength every day.
Thanks for today wrench 32 coz even when I lose I'm a winner and if someone can tell me who's beat this is and pass on my thanks to them too I'd appreciate it ✌️
nobody asked
@@euann04 but you still took the time to reply thanks weird name boy.
Man this is so weird I read the part where you said cos even when I lose I'm a winner as Wretch was rapping it but bless your story is truly amazing
Its the intro by the xx, good luck!
@Simaak05 X I was gonna say stick to fortnite mate but then I saw how shit your videos are😂😂😂😂

Thanks mate
Good looks man
The best FITB hands down. Still rocking this is 2024 and ill be still rocking it in 2034 ❤
Naa probably 3rd be behind mic righteous n bugzy still a banget bars on bars
@sophieoesterlein968 that's my opinion so you don't get to tell me what's better 🤦🏽♂️🤣
[Avelino:]
Made a lot of noise being silent
They labelled me remote, now I'm being scouted by Island
Beg you warn a brother, I'm universal, it's timing
I've got way too much to decipher for any cypher
I'm tryna be so much greater than good for the greater good
I feel like Nas, all I need is one mic, made you look
I've got hood neighbours that ain't never left my neighbourhood
Had to burn bridges to make profit, like Moses, there ain't a bush
Independence with a major push is ideal
I'm from T and that's real, I'm done tryna define trill
I should get all of my exes watches cause time heals
I'm with a new ting in the yard on some Netflix and wine chill
Why beat around the bush, what, you ain't shaved, baby?
Put you on invasion alert, I think I'm Jaykae
The plan was to change the game and never let the game change me
So it's no strings attached until Wireless mainstage me
Like 3 said, can't you hear the difference?
I'm in Cavalli & Trues but that's just religion
Every time I made you pay attention, I was worth the listen
My ting consists of content, that's what you call consistent
Yeah, ignorance has never been as bliss as now
I wondered why I never got a look in when I listened out
The maddest ting is being yourself is what makes you different now
But pay me no mind and I won't need it cause I think aloud
Sometimes 1000 words are worth a picture
Ignore the fact that I'm an artist, that's why I'm on Insta
Hard work breeds success and though I'm in labour with her
I'mma need a midwife, there's so much pressure to deliver
But I'll deliver
It's about time that I had mine
Went from trap lines to captivating you with lyrics, that's a trap line
Where I'm from, there ain't no helping hands, there's just gang signs
Holy water flows, when you hear bap that's short for baptise
Yeah, I want my name in lights, not in a list
Name a pair of rappers that could walk in our Rizzle Kicks
2016 is the rise of the lyricist
Young Fire, Old Flame
