Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across

Once bitten
wounds licking
pain's written
verse spitting
heads splitting
seems fitting
chest forward in the race touch ribbons
top ape amongst the gibbons chest beating
more than alive
man's living
Two parts black one part British innit

Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across
Well, old deck hand, when you git on top
I'm gonna hear it line, I wanna get across


Gob's off my father spit
sharp like that Naija wit
eat the jollof and split
gather the bobs and bits shoulders got oven cooked chips
broad noses and big lips, mate
I only came for the tomato stew
Once bitten wounds licking pain's written verse spitting part English part Pidgin like

Heads splitting
seems fitting
chest forward in the race touch ribbons
top ape amongst the gibbons more than alive
Mouths big, hair's low cut
flows lean back take a load off
old street smileys but no love
get handled with no gloves
figure's skinny, hair a mess
sting in my foot from the stress
but man's still standing, so man must be blessed
