[Intro]
London Celebrates, this is a gala day for young and old people
A once in a lifetime spectacle, not to be missed, (No Days Off)
35 eventful and glorious years..


[Verse 1]
Used to think at 25 I'd have a wife and a son
Oh my was I wrong
Tryna slide on this don
Babe, I got a problem on the rise and it's long
Staring at her batty and her thighs in a thong
You thought the year was done without the cutting of the cake?
My apologies it's late
I had suttin' on my plate
You know you're kinda rare when labels doubling the stakes
Putting chips on the table like they got 'em with a shake
Luggage in the bay, link my cousin in the A
Bun and then we blaze, 40 dollars for the eighth
Liase in the magic city
True say I only had a fiddy, must've been enough for me to grab a titty
Some would say it's love but it's lust
Move on then adjust
Another one bit the dust
I told 'em, "you can keep on making songs if you must"
But come 2020, I'm the one they'll discuss
Knucks

[Interlude]
35 eventful and glorious years

[Verse 2]
At 15, was bumping Wretch and said I'm gonna be around him
My friends all said I'm childish, but now I'm on his album
The last laugh always sounds loudest when they've doubted
Rubbing shoulders with the G.O.A.Ts
They say my styles nostalgic
They knocking down the blocks and it's hard, that was home
Sitting in our house made of glass, dashin' stones
They've never seen a bucket in the bath and it shows
But now I'm selling shows, change stance then I pose
Dargs I engrove, dingy houses and a trap phone
I was OT, a hundred thousand out in Glasto
Brodie headlining bigged me up when he performed
I was on before him, like the calm before the Stormz
No decorum, man are barging through the door
They can start with the awards
Break the margin, then the Forbes
If man don't want a war, I draw around him with some chalk
Bringing flowers to you corpse
Turn your power into a thought

[Interlude: Stormzy]
I feel like the 25 years of my life has all led up to his moment right here there's been so many legends that have paved the way for me but there's a bag of us coming through right now: Little Simz, Avelino, J Hus, Snow Boys, P Money, Knucks
[Chorus]
One time, only gotta hit 'em with it one time
Gotta keep it moving 'cause of one time
Nearly caught the mandem with it one time
Told her drop it down for me one time
Girl you know its been a long time
Fuck twice, you ain't gonna fool me one time
Catch you in the wrong place at the wrong time
Hit 'em with it one time

[Verse 3]
One more time, got the baddie for a dime
Can you blame me?
Got a lot that's on my mind like
Who's crossing the Ts, who's dotting the Is like
Bet you wish you kept your eyes on me in hindsight
One 'them fly guys, burger and a fries guys
You might have to put him in your top 5 guys
My Ghana babe, serenade me with the fried rice
But she kept on putting egg up in the Moi Moi

[Chorus]
One time, only gotta hit 'em with it one time
Gotta keep it moving 'cause of one time
Nearly caught the mandem with it one time
Told her drop it down for me one time
Girl you know its been a long time
Fuck twice, you ain't gonna fool me one time
Catch you in the wrong place at the wrong time
Hit 'em with it one time
