[Intro: Prince Rapid & Slix]

It's Rapid

This ain't a mirage

You lot about to feel something you've never felt before

Had too many wars

Wh-wh-who's ready?

And we ain't come to play games

New whip, new [?]

It's pressure

Raising the bar

Oi, Slix

It's the return of the–

Everything turnt


[Verse 1: Slix]

Brand new S-Class for the summer, flex when I wanna

Doing up pro with the runner

Never turn my back on the gang 'cah my name ain't Gunna

Gotta keep it hunna, wanna

Say it with your chest, don't stutter, or shut up

MCs get cut up and bun up

And the flow's one-of-one and man are far from a come-up

And-a-and I dance all over the beat like Usher

Fragrance Yves Saint Laurent

Been in the field since Keegan and Barnes

Take 'em by the neck, don't need no advance

You're a neek, I'm a boss, shatter MCs like glass

Concrete jungle

Full of bare animals but there ain't no way

That I'm snaking my darg for escaping Iraq

Hang an MC like David Blaine in the park

[Chorus: Slix & Prince Rapid]

Yeah, this ain't a mirage

They ain't in my lane or my class (Let's go, yeah!)

Had too many wars

Still got the pain and the scars (Who's ready?)

New whip, new [?]

Blazing and raising the bar (Mmm)

It's the return of the Sqwad

Everyting turnt, oh gosh

Yeah, this ain't a mirage

They ain't in my lane or my class (Let's go, yeah!)

Had too many wars

Still got the pain and the scars (Who's ready?)

New whip, new [?]

Blazing and raising the bar (And we're raising the bar)

It's the return of the S–

Everyting turnt


[Verse 2: So Large]

Whoosh, lock it pon dem

Drop man a packet, slap it pon dem

Pandemic, man didn't panic and fret, nah

Man had to just banish that stress

Cash that I ain't spent since '010

Traffic I don't have to traffick again

Every time I see that Serco bus

Man haffi shout out "free up the passenger dem"

Man pay rent for the yard with intent

Plant comes, give the pastor ten percent

Stand up guys, you can't turn up with them

Dem boy there you can't challenge and test, nah

It's my aim I practice pon them

Like big stacks, yeah, I'm in the pockets again, darg

I don't trust nobody, man, run back the money

I'll just count it again

[Chorus: Slix & Prince Rapid]

Yeah, this ain't a mirage

They ain't in my lane or my class (Let's go, yeah!)

Had too many wars

Still got the pain and the scars (Who's ready?)

New whip, new [?]

Blazing and raising the bar (Mmm)

It's the return of the Sqwad

Everyting turnt, oh gosh

Yeah, this ain't a mirage

They ain't in my lane or my class (Let's go, yeah!)

Had too many wars

Still got the pain and the scars (Who's ready?)

New whip, new [?]

Blazing and raising the bar (And we're raising the bar)

It's the return of the S–

Everyting turnt


[Verse 3: Manga Saint Hilare]

Yeah, I learnt how to win

I learnt how to lose, I had to (Yes)

Learn how to hide, learn how to lie

Ain't that the truth, I had to (Had to)

Learn what is right, learn what is wrong

Learn how to move, I had to (Yes)

Learn what's for them, learn what's for us

Go learn what's for you, I had to (What?)

Uh, fight through a lot of confusion

Just to get to these conclusions (See it deh?)

It's not a mirage or illusion

When you see us man moving (Wah?)

Four-car convoy cruising

Man ah made moves in music (Man ah made moves)

I said we're the best in the game

And I think man just proved it (Trust me)

Yo, best in the game, it's bait, it's clear (Yeah)

Anybody can hold a nug when I'm 'ere (Nug!)

Got my own steeze, don't need none of theirs (Yeah)

Snakes in the grass, I see man clear (I see ya)

Money upfront? Then you'll see man there (Nug!)

A lot of man didn't wanna see man there (Nug!)

Expensive jacket just like Moncler (Yeah)

Saw it through, now man's gone clear (Gone clear, gone clear)

S-s-see them there (Nah)

Rinse? You know we didn't see them there (Weh dem deh?)

Outside? No, we didn't see them there (Nah)

Freeze? You know we didn't see them there (Nah)

East side? We didn't see them there

North West? No, we didn't see them there (Nah)

South side, I didn't see them there (Nah)

[Outro: Manga Saint Hilare, Prince Rapid & both]

I don't know about dem man there (I don't know 'bout dem man)

Oi, dem man there (Yeah)

I don't know 'bout dem man there

Don't know 'bout, I don't know 'bout (It's crazy)

We didn't see dem man there (None of dem, none of dem)

I don't know 'bout dem man there

No, you know we didn't see dem there (I didn't see you)

Westside, nah, bro

You know we didn't see dem there (We didn't see dem)

Nowhere to be seen

This is not a joke

This is blood, sweat and tears

Ruff Sqwad Man Dem

This ain't a mirage

This is real life
