(#SpitFireBars) London was a vibe, London was a vibe I’d never been there ’til SAFO Music in my life The capital’s capital of good tunes and good vibes Come on let’s take a ride round London it’s a vibe Booked an AirBnB to write some R'n'B With the lovely Alessia and Rick Ochi DistroKid playlist, that’s when I know I gotta tell Eastleigh ‘Let me go’ Got gassed up when I met YvngError But to be honest, I’m glad I wasn’t Shia ‘Cos the streams went higher than London Bridge When you’ve had too much to ‘Drink Drink Drink’ But London ain’t a vibe with Covid-19 And before they switched the date to 7/19 We made a track about the date when get freedom It’s 100 lit ‘621’ Five rappers back-to-back on the track working back: Melly Melz, Mace, Jon Stephan Music And the other two I did track two with, they’ll make you say ‘Whoa’  It’s Weez & A.D. and they’re from #LondonIsAVibe I’m leading London’s Biggest Convoy like I’m nick Ferrari Nicking bars from Dave but credit Santan der don’t worry I’m not tryna steal from the genre I’m not tryna go where he go I’m different (Beastly) alter-ego I’m the dirty side of a Smalltown boy with a nerdy mind Smalltown-England rap this some new hits But thanks for teaching me SAFO Music Yeah London was a, London was a Vibe

Man I gotta get a bottle of liquor and soul food Issa whole mood Finally the people all free Gonna get the party started Bacardi and a shawty 'Bout to get a round on me 'Cause I'm ready to flex again I'm with my friends They smoking with a drink in hand and making bands Believe me when I'm with my kin and dividends It's 'bout to be the brazy band with crazy fam Watch ya'll gon do? It's been long so I'm gon' come through It's me, my squad and my partner too They got some trees now the world so free And we won't come down til the night turn blue I got my drip, in the shorts and vest The fine gyaldem in their best sundress We all thank God that the bad days gone Now we say what's good to the vibes not stress Lockdown for too too long Aint touched ground in too too long Won’t touch pad til morning come cah The end of the night and I’m wanting some Man say smoke but I say bun Man take tokes in the shade I stay in the sun Gyal too pasty like winter skin And that shit never can run Again Gyal say they wanting fun Again Well bang this tune Cah tunes gonna take me right to the moon And home again Lost my phone again What do I buy with my last ten A beer or ben And I’m blessed don’t pay no rent The last of my loan is spent! It's a holiday! Come on let us celebrate I'm in a happy place No more screens it's face to face Man it's about time It's been a rough ride Let's go outside In the east, the west, the North, the south side Take a little time to appreciate the sunshine Appreciating life cuz I didn't have to make it But Emmanuel been by my side Giving thanks cuz I'm safe yh Squad link up! Make sure to bring some games Positive is the name Pushing forward in this... Yh We gonna be great! June 21st I don’t wanna go back to them other days Late night trips man I’m going through that phase Tryna go out (I don’t wanna stay in) Bro come say less (Not a single thing) Pass me ya glass like what are you drinking? Thinking about them times I was locked up Link up and drink up with me (Woah) Legal now wanna talk about ID? (What) Drowning in liquor Made a bad decision like bun it Might throw up bro draw for the bucket I’m waved I’m waved I saved myself from another party Pull up to yours like bro let’s go First in line I’m in the front row Squad link up man you already know Winnings and losses We just tryna be bosses Pick up the phone make profits Life we chop it Garms we cop it With my darg like Wallace and gromit Straight no chaser babe don’t vomit No biggie like Christopher Wallace Hot boy summer I ain’t cuffing stop it Look, had to graft and Jugg Issa lot Summertime fine but the block is hot Obbo around gotta leave the spot Stack or starve gotta get this gwop It’s all for the lizzy Was held up and it got sticky My people are with me Pour a cup yh I’m tryna get tipsy I remember last 420 Didn't see green except on a screen Roaming the streets it was so empty Not a good time to be in your 20s 12-week lockdown, my arse Stop playing the clown Wanna see some tears Lotta stuff gone down Nearly lost a hundred thou Now I've come up to London Come from Eastleigh, can't say nothing Good girls want me, sweet ones need me What's my name: MC Beastly All the hard times rolled up 4/20/2020 now that's done So we're popping out 6 (20, 20, 20) 21 (20, 20, 20, 20) 21 21

I’m coming home Because I’ve been out all day When you see the sun coming down Just know that I’ll be on my way I’m coming home Because I’ve been out all day When you see the sun coming down Just know that I’ll be on my way 
 I’m coming home,  And I’ve been out all night  When I get home it’s another fight 
 Drink, drink, drink Drink, all you do is drink, drink You make me feel crazy  I feel like I need a shrink quick 
 (Haha, whatever love) 
 I’m coming home Because I’ve been out all day When you see the sun coming down Just know that I’ll be on my way I’m coming home Because I’ve been out all day When you see the sun coming down Just know that I’ll be on my way 
 Big city, big night  Hit ‘em hard, big fight I'm a Beastly Boy I’ve gotta fight for my rights 
 Made A Few Young Errors Growing up in The Shire Now I'm spitting on their record Tryna hit, hit higher 
 Gotta Spit deep Bars Gotta have a clean vocal Can't hit the bottle man Gotta stay focal Drunk on my vibes  Even though I'm teetotal Get gassed up  Like you’re filling up at Total 
 Drink, drink, drink Drink, all you do is drink, drink You make me feel crazy  I feel like I need a shrink quick 
 I’m coming home,  And I’ve been out all night  When I get home it’s another fight 
 Now we’re both home  and we’ve switched off the light  We can let it fade away  Till tomorrow night
