NORTHSIDE Lyrics

Bruv, that shubz is gonna be intergalactic (yeah, uh-huh)
Did you see me?
Do you have keys on? (What you fucking talking 'bout Willis?)
Huh? Do I have keys?
What do you mean?
Yeah

'Cause I know the Northside is looking out for me
Wanted to cry but there's nothing that made me
Going in circles, I thought I was really finished
Got so high, well, I stopped fucking with it (dem ones)

Peace, earth, you don't say?
Can you tell what model they
Used to explain this oil change?
Don't praise that, they all pre-made
You fly to hold your name in the same city
I remember when you packed bags in Sainsbury's

Put your loving on me to 'cause I caused your best
Fight me 'til you're humming
It seems like I called you stress
Wouldn't say no babe, I caused your
Push your doubt right on me
Settle for more, yeah

What BPM is it?
You can tell you wore those knickers since last week
Yeah, yeah, nah, it was one of dem ones
'Cause I was saying wagwan
Like I was going into someones yard, innit (are you gonna turn the track up?)
Did you see me like, "Ah nice to meet you" (yeah, yeah that's calm)
Like on a respectful ting? Ha
Where should I leave the shoes? Ha

Either way you complain, I start work 'til nine today
Understand your awful shame
I was once the same damn way
But your fate damned, and lately
I been missing mine for taking on your safety

Put your loving on me to 'cause I caused your best
Fight me 'til you're humming
It seems like I called you stress
Wouldn't say no babe, I caused your
Push your doubt right on me
Settle for more, yeah

(Mm, yeah)
When your name's Femi, blood
It's like being English and being called like (oh, yeah)
I dunno, Harry or Phillip, you know? (Oh no, no, no)
Not even Phillip, bruv (oh no, no, no)
'Cause it's
'Cause you got all dem Phillipe tings and dat
You know what I'm saying?
What you saying?

The Northside is looking out for me
Wanted to cry but there's nothing that made me
Going in circles, I thought I was really finished
Got so high, well, I stopped fucking with it

'Cause you know the ninth day becomes a quiet place
Last thing I remember is a night or day
The Northside is with me even in LA
Which one do you prefer while I can choose another say

You're right, I'm mine, I packed too much this time
You know that I don't listen they don't worth another fight
Can't cut me off, I won't obey
I can't lie, I wanna stay
(It's when you shouted Sainsbury's, man got a little emotional still)

Put your loving on me 'cause I caused your best ('cause I caused your best)
Tie me to your harm, it seems like I called you stress (no, I called you stress)
Wouldn't say no babe, I caused your
Push it down right on me
Settle for more, yeah

Sometimes it's about finding magic in them tings, yeah (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh)
It's a vibe, it suits your voice bare as well (oh yeah, oh yeah, oh)
Actually sounds pretty good now
This is hard

The Northside is looking out for me
Wanted to cry but there's nothing that made me
Going in circles, I thought I was fucking finished
Got so high, well, I stopped fucking with it

The Northside is looking out for me
Wanted to cry but there's nothing that made me
Going in circles, but that won't break my spirit
Got so high, well, I stopped fucking with it

(Yeah man, I'm ready to hear the whole album
Honestly, you're going in)
