Goated - Intellectual

[Chorus]

I kicked down the door, I made the blueprint

I paved the way, let's stop pretending

I laid the bricks, I built the foundation

I'm a household name, my ting's cemented

Twenty laps deep, still setting pace, I don't see too many contenders

Everyone getting called "GOAT" these days

Give it a rest, I feel offended

[Verse]

I'm offended, how can I not feel offended?

On road or in HMP, if you talk top three, I better get a mention

Nuff man's pen ain't nuttin like mine

So don't even try put man in the same sentence

Back with a vengeance, greatness pending

No need to talk wass for the clout and attention

I'm the one that they love to hate

I been blackballed from about '08

I'm no postie but I'm boasy, had the Rolls Royce posted on the estate

Look, I told my bro that it's never too late

He don't make big moves cah the roads too bait

He nah listen, got clapped in the shoulder

Now he can't stop doing up the Harlem Shake

Watch your head back out here, anything can go

I came a long way from [?]

Tings try laugh cah I never had a whip

Now I got 'em all whipped, woulda thought I was in a bando

Come up around trappers and stick-up guys

When you can get - for switching sides

You can roll with the hammers but I kept them ties

And I'm still around the gunners like Declan Rice

So you're looking at a real North London baby

I was posted up in Highbury mainly

My dad had a lab on Holloway Road where he showed me the ropes

That's the gift he gave me

Just another juvie with a daydream

Who'd have thought dookie would go mainstream?

Never been an impostor, tell me one genre that I can't slay, G

I was rapping, I was singing

Way before these rapping singers that you know

I could disappear and come again and ram up every single show

Remember me, sitting in my cell, thinking, "This is the end of the road"

It's intense, up behind the fence

When everyone knows that you're the real GOAT

I birthed man like -, and then man like -

Revived man like -, I taught man like -

I rap better than -, I made hits for

Bet you never knew I wrote -

I've been out here for more than a minute

But I'm hungry like my run has just begun

Wasn't happening for certain rappers

Had to sell their crib and move back in their mum's

I ain't capping, know me, I can tap into any type of genre anytime I want

From a little boy, I've been a star and all them other rappers are just my sons

Oi, we can't compare CV's, no way

Got a killer resume, yo, I been OJ

They might have one-two views and streams

But come the next week, they forgot bro's name

Me and them are not the same, they're capping on my name

Pen is like a flame, when it's time to aim, I'm wrapping up the game

'Cause I can never miss, the scene is in a state, had to activate

I cannot be tamed, it's in my DNA, I'm a mic specialist

My killy, I been litty since like '05, now it's 2025 and I'm still that guy

Look me in the eye, tell me that I'm lying

'Cause in 2029, the game will still be mine
