Intro:
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
No, I don't wanna
Verse 1:
Like Temps I'll par the par can't pardon ya
The cards I dealt was hard as bars in iron gyms
Gotta blow up the entire ting
I gotta... Kmt I got show up and
Remind the kids don't give I a miss
Hospitalised I'm this kinda sick
Come in the place and give guys a thing to
Learn from cos you can't spit light lyrics round C
What I think out's peak,
I've been round G's - my intels deep
I sit down teach, I bring out keys
You can't block or withheld me
You can't tell me a ting bout greeze
The guys I know - they don't lick down trees
Come in the place and kmt lowe me
Slogan Please - OoRITE! Rite
Chorus:
Pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
It was so hard to get embraced
I was grafting in the rain
It was so hard to get embraced
Don't wanna be harbouring the pain
I asked God to... (Take your time)
Give me grace
Give me grace yhh
No I ain't pardoning the game (no pars)
Verse 2:
Get the bag, stretch the tab, next advance
Prep the bands, set for cash, yes I am
Because I got press to slang
And it always sells - God bless my fans
I was here before sets you had
I set the path you crept on fam no fester skanks Cassettes and if we dressed it back you’ll see The strength I had was enough to stress the fact I’m here for long so bro - Get the bags
That’s the reason I’ll get the bag
If I ain’t got it they’ll stretch their hands
Set the grade like Despa cam
Not many can stand next to man
Their cvs need more extra stats
You just about got on 1xtra fam
Slogan Please - OoRITE! Rite
Chorus:
Pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
It was so hard to get embraced
I was grafting in the rain
It was so hard to get embraced
Don't wanna be harbouring the pain
I asked God to... (Take your time)
Give me grace
Give me grace yhh
No I ain't pardoning the game (no pars)
Verse 3:
It's been too long, I've seen too much
I've previewed lots, I've seen you want what I'm Keen to drop, lemme feed you lot cah
The whole scene needs an eq touch
Fade the noise and turn Cs tunes up
This type of skill you don't see too often
Because they've accustomed the concerts to want dirt and
Not work of substance I'm concerned but what turns me
On is the challenge I like fixing problems tryna be
Bigger then I've been so I was taking trips to London
With my dons and linking up with system
Bosses to turn ya blinkers off
The game's different blood, but I ain't switching up
You can't tinker what I think of to sync me up
Then I got injured blood, twisted my ligaments
I'm meant to fix it up, but I can't sit n watch, cos I ain't
Chorus:
Pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
No I ain't pardoning the game
It was so hard to get embraced
I was grafting in the rain
It was so hard to get embraced
Don't wanna be harbouring the pain
I asked God to... (Take your time)
Give me grace
Give me grace yhh
No I ain't pardoning the game (no pars)
Manga is the only one out here making pure, forward-thinking Grime like it used to be. No cash-in nostalgia, no catering to radio plays; just pure lyricism and cream-of-the-crop production. Remember when Grime had humour and humanity? When MC's had personality and originality that was uniquely British? Before autotune, German whips and 'manaman sells crack and manaman will shank ur mum' became the norm? This is like that. Golden.
Big up Manga - keep doing your thing. You deserve to be massive
Joe Harris
just bare sick the entire album init, bare out of order to make me pick 1 and that, bellz. big up Lewi for being actually grimey as fuck on the produccy romabohemian
Grime, a descendant of garage, dancehall and hip-hop born roughly a decade ago on the streets of the UK, is now entering maturity, with several of its stars finding themselves experiencing the trappings (and the traps) of major label success. But there’s also an increasing universality in its subject matter and themes, and a playfulness … Continue reading Album of the Week: The Surgery EP → Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 5, 2011
