The page holds 12 lines: Nine lyrics and 3 interview quotes, the latter from Dazed (2025) (two lines) and The FADER (2015). Songs include You Wish, Glow in the Dark, Going Through It, Man and Reflecting, with tracks from the albums Microphone Champion and Greatest Hits. Themes are spread across ambition, fame, identity, craft and wit, two lines each. What stands out is the voice: a joke about MySpace views, a line telling someone to stop calling themselves your cousin because your mum doesn't know theirs, and a father who never came to London to put tickets on windscreens.
I would hate me too if I had the same MySpace views as you
The streets at an all-time high, the government at an all-time low
My dad never came London to put tickets on windscreens
If it ain't greatness, what does this shit mean?
The UK run out of ideas
Everybody doing covers of American beats
In the discussion of who’s the best rapper in the world, I think it really needs to be an international discussion
Whenever people push me to be that kind of red carpet It-boy, I shy away from it every time. Even when I won the Mercury, I can see in my face that I didn’t want to be that guy, because you only fall down from there, innit?
Look how they look at me, never gonna be the same
Said they wanna be like me, you don't know what you're sayin'
I believe in the team so much I got the logo printed on my chest
Of course you saw me, everybody said I was dead but I'm still alive like Makaveli
I've been around the world and back
I ain't met anybody I wanna be with more than you
Take the pressure off, don’t rush an album out. No one’s going anywhere.
