Back to Basics
Headie One
[Intro]
It sounds like Nyge

[Chorus: Headie One & Skepta]
Bring out the dots, get back to basics (Turn)
If I get stopped, it's back to basic
Bad B, lost out my waps and laces
Ting set good, no, she can’t be basic (Turn, turn)
Feds ask questions, I get evasive
That’s "No comment" up in the station
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear, I'ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone, back to basics (Switch)
No, we ain't watchin' faces
Violate us, man are catching cases
I was on the High Road, armed and dangerous
Steppin' in some Run Away trainers, no introduction needed (Ice)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year, it's only money I'm chasing (One)

[Verse 1: Headie One]
Don't make me spend all my savings, do it for the cause (Cause, cause)
Go play the field, gang fluent with the ball
Life is tough when you ain't with the law
Seven jails, no, you ain't been on tour (Turn)
You ain't ever been on license, feds still tryna put their boot through your door
Yo, go there, do it with the rambo, do it with a fours
Send this grub back and do it in a wave or do it in a storm
I just stabbed this niner, shining, I ain't even do it on my toes (One)
I can bruck this grub into pebbles or do it on the low (S-S-S-Suh)
They think I do ooh-ooh (Turn)
Do it, the gangdem do it on the road
Didn't they know it's the usual?
Now me and Skep in the studio
Wrist all numb from the cuffs
So I just bust out my Cuban
Lord knows, life was confusing
Now I'm just chuffed (S-S-S-Suh)
No trim, they don't care if my head back rough
Same way all of them gyally on us
[Chorus: Headie One & Skepta]
Bring out the dots, get back to basics
If I get stopped, it's back to basic (Turn)
Bad B, lost out my waps and laces
Ting set good, no, she can’t be basic (Turn, turn)
Feds ask questions, I get evasive
That’s "No comment" up in the station (Turn, turn)
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear, I'ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone, back to basics
No, we ain't watchin' faces
Violate us, man are catching cases
I was on the High Road, armed and dangerous
Steppin' in some Run Away trainers, no introduction needed (Sexy)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year, it's only money I'm chasing

[Verse 2: Skepta]
True stories, I ain't gotta lie in my raps
I was beside the feds with a .9 on my lap (Trust)
Gotta look straight forward, try to relax
If I get pulled this time, it's a wrap
And I still get flashbacks of the cold nights in the trap
And man slept on the floor, no heater
Tottenham boy, I put the T in Tanita (Ice)
On a first name basis with the shopkeeper (Wagwan?)
And he already knows what I came for, cling film and a Ribena (Ayy)
Big Smoke on the feature, come a long way from draws in the pouch
Thirteen scores in my mouth from the same line, tryna get all of it out (All of it)
Fast forward, now I turned starboy, man I don't stand on corners (Nah)
Two left feet when your diamond's dancing, why your shine look so awkward? (Huh?)
It's One on the chorus, with a bit of Skepta, that's what the gyaldem ordered (Mm-mm)
And you better lock up your wife and daughters 'cause all my guys are ballers
[Chorus: Headie One & Skepta]
Bring out the dots, get back to basics
If I get stopped, it's back to basic (Turn)
Bad B, lost out down my waps and laces
Ting set good, no, she can’t be basic (Turn, turn)
Feds ask questions, I get evasive
That’s "No comment" up in the station (Turn, turn)
Gang can’t sleep on a violation
Swear, I'ma spend all my savings
Switch off my iPhone, back to basics (Ghost)
No, we ain't watchin' faces
Violate us, man are catching cases
I was on the High Road, armed and dangerous
Steppin' in some Run Away trainers, no introduction needed (Shh)
Peng ting already know what my name is
And this year, it's only money I'm chasing
