[Verse 2: Narsty]

Trip down trap to break the law (Ooh)

[Chorus: Narsty]
Man Zone 2 step
True say, it’s the Zone 2 flex
Like gyallie on me, she said, "Where you from?"
I said, "Zone 2, Pecks"
Like, hold up, hold up, let me send this text
Ring trap from my brick phone, so you know what’s next
Man, Zone 2 step
True say it’s the Zone 2 flex
Step, Zone 2— Zone 2 Pecks
True say it’s the Zone
True say it’s the Zone 2 step, step, step
True say it’s the Zone, true say it's the Zone 2 step, step
[Verse 3: Trizzac]
Shit, is that a moment of silence?
'Cause them Zone 2 boys just bopped
And everybody knows they're on violence (Aggy)
'Cause I’m tryna hide my face from the Tridents (Feds)
Shoot slugs at intestines
Couldn’t give a fuck if the whip was financed (No)
Ding-dong Focus, and no one's got a licence (None of us)
Get bored up (Shanks), .45, TEC-9, sawn-off (Take guts)
Safe on my block, course not (Nope)
And all my dargs really got Mad Jawed locked (They do)
[?] I don't like neither
The food peng like Amina
Packs come fatter than Griffin
Oh shit, I was meant to say Peter (Family Guy)
They come louder than speakers (Yeah)
Then I go hunt, no Easter (I did)
Make a snub sneeze like a fever
Make a bark woof, preacher (P)
Man wanna dress me ‘pon Peri (Peri)
But next day I got blocks ‘pon Peri
Why the man wan' make from the peri? (Why?)
Please don't make me put a fuckboy 'pon tele (Don't)
It ain't hard to remove the bag and grab the strap
I swear, detach man’s belly (I will)
Dip, dip, splash, splash the tosser, I forgot man’s wellies (Wettings)
I ain’t known they're the realest
LV and Migs are the craziest drillers (They are)
I’m the plug for the largest dippers
Pecknarm, Zone 2, I love my young killers (Ah)
Don’t make me call my young hitters (No)
MK got links for the spinners
Don't make me call...
All my young hitters, craziest drillers
Craziest drillers
Craziest…don’t make me call my young hitters
[Verse 4: Skully]
Take a man down on the main's
Or the back roads, do it anywhere, I'm bait (I don't care)
One time we tried do the lurk on the whizz
And bro's like, "Oops, that’s jakes" (Oh shit)
Same way that I dick out your girl’s face
Is the same way that I dip man straight (Dip, dip, dip, dip)
Up in her stomach she feel it
No rubbers, Bobby Brown, watch the legs them shake (Haha)
Stick and move, grip and shoot
Same way with the gyallie, I’m smooth (I'm too smooth)
She said I'm too rude, I tell her, "Ayy, move"
But I’m moving like Narsty too (Ha)
Zone 2 step, just get it correct
More time I just step and flex (Step and flex this)
If you don’t come correct, you’ll get me vexed
That means my flick in your chest (Dip him)
Get back to the trap, just chilling with cats
And you know that I’m serving' people (Ring, ring, ring, ring)
The way that I take these risks in the trap
You might as well call me Evel Knievel (Daredevil)
I don’t fuck with fakes, I don’t fuck with jakes
Just know that them way too see-through (No way)
I rip bands in the trap from fiends in cunch
So you know the stack ain’t equal (Brr, brr, brr)
[Chorus: Narsty]
Man Zone 2 step
True say, it’s the Zone 2 flex
Like gyallie on me, she said, "Where you from?"
I said, "Zone 2, Pecks"
Like, hold up, hold up, let me send this text
Ring trap from my brick phone, so you know what’s next
Man, Zone 2 step
True say it’s the Zone 2 flex
Step, Zone 2— Zone 2 Pecks
True say it’s the Zone
True say it’s the Zone 2 step, step, step
True say it’s the Zone, true say it's the Zone 2 step, step
Ad-libs in UK drill music often consist of repetitive words; “dip”, “ching” and “splash” are all often heard in the genre. They all reference stabbing someone, but P claims that he’ll actually stab someone.
Alternatively, this could be a reference to musical stabs, which is a single note that adds emphasis to a lyric. To further highlight how serious he’s being, PS refrains to add a stab to the lyric.
4s usually meaning 4oz (112grams) narsty will only loose his crow (cannabis) and nothing else after court
Evel Knievel is a well known stunt performer and daredevil. Skully is comparable to Evel due to the risks he takes in the trap, a slang term for a drug house.
The “Diddy Bop” is a dance originated from American recording artist Diddy; it consists of a “bop” and a “lean.”
PS uses the double meaning of these terms to claim that when he “bops”—fires his gun—his opponents “lean”—shake from the bullets hitting their chest.
This could also be a reference to J Hus‘ track “Lean and Bop”.
Trizzac uses onomatopoeia here to cause the listener to conjure up memories of a dog. Dogs bark and woof, but in the metaphor here, he calls his gun a “bark”, claiming that he’ll make it “woof”, or shoot it.
He also could be referencing PS here, as he first began rapping under the name Preacher. He mentioned this in “The Truth”:
Yeah, I’m Preacher, if you don’t know me
Dip a man’s flesh and I leave man hole-y
Hades is the God of the Underworld and has the power of sending dead souls to the Fields of Punishment, which is more commonly known as Hell. Here, PS likens his firepower to the fire in Hades—which is another term used to refer to Hell—and how he has lots of it. Another interpretation could be that his bars are “fire” (extremely good).
Before shortening his name to just PS—and appearing on streaming services as PS Hitsquad—P performed under the moniker P Savage. This can be seen on Spotify on Zone 2’s Known Zoo album, which sees PS credited as P Savage.
PS later used similar bars in “Lookman”:
PS, P Gassed, P Savage
They know man, they know gang
PS uses the Milly Rock dance as a metaphor for crack cocaine—which can also be referred to as “rock” .The Milly Rock is a dance that originated from New York and was created by Terrence Ferguson. Rapper Playboi Carti also popularized the dance with his track “Magnolia” and the lyrics:
In New York, I Milly Rock
Hide it in my sock
Although sneezing is not actually a fever symptom—these include loss of appetite, shaking and headaches—the meaning here is still clear. A “snub” is slang for a gun, and talking about making guns “sneeze” is common in UK drill. For example, in Headie One’s “Welcome to the Party Freestyle”, he rapped:
I spent six hundred pound on a shotgun
Go and make it sneeze like I don’t like pollen
Scoreboard (against m17)
Peter Griffin is the main character of Family Guy, a popular TV show that airs on FOX and ITV.
One of Peter’s characteristics is his large stomach, which lends to his personality of being clumsy. A “fat pack” is slang for a large amount of drugs. Trizzac compares the “fatness” of his drugs to that of Peter Griffin.
Trizzac then continues the metaphor by comparing the “loudness” of his pack—how strong it smells—to booming speakers.
Zone 2’s YG’s have all been shouted out in tracks. PS mentioned LD in “Da Block’s Hot Freestyle”:
Free my little bro LD, I sent him a pinks, I’ll do what I can bro
Kwengface shouted out Kenz in his “Lightwork Freestyle”:
Dip splash, I do it like Kenz
6ix received a mention in the “Intro” of Zone 2 and Carns Hill’s joint album Hillside Zoo:
And well done to 6ix and RK, ‘cause they almost left Rampage chipless
And finally, PS gave TC a shout-out earlier in the track:
We done bored them up like the woosh was stuck
But us man too crazy (Too nuts), I might shout Too Crazy (TC)
Here, PS is saying that he cannot wait until he catches his opp and kills him and leaves him like a “zoot” which means weed so essentially he is saying he can’t wait until he kills his opp and smokes him
6ix is a member of Zone 2 and their subset group HitSquad; PS also gave him a shoutout in “Kreep & Kweng”:
6ix and RK got him in front of his mum and his sister, that’s naughty
PS suggests that he has been out looking for opps until his feet were aching and until he got exhausted.
Kitchen knife
Easter egg hunts are popular games that involve trying to find hidden, decorated Easter eggs. The tradition has been traced back to the Protestant Christian Reformer Martin Luther, who would have men hide eggs for the women and children to search for them.
However, Trizzac means that he’ll hunt for his opps. This links back with the line:
In the vids no face, no case
‘Cause I’m tryna hide my face from the Trident (Feds)
Operation Trident is a Met police unit that was set up to target murders affecting black communities. The group has faced criticism for racism, with the death of Mark Duggan sparking fury due to the already-growing racial tensions between the black community and the police.
Even artists have been affected by Trident; Peckham rapper Giggs had his shows shut down because of Form 696, which was scrapped in 2018 for being racist.
The “no face, no case” phrase relates to the fact that if rappers don’t hide their faces with balaclavas in music videos, they could be linked to crimes.
Kwengface, Narsty’s alter ego, used a similar phrase in Zone 2’s “Lookman”:
No face, no case, no cameras
“Curtains” is used here as a metaphor for death—it refers to how at the end of stage shows, the curtains close shut. PS is claiming that he’ll leave his opps for dead, and it’ll be the end of their lives.
Zone 2 beef Moscow17, who reside in the Brandon Estate. If PS and his crew spot a Moscow17 member, he claims that they’ll attack them.
Here, PS tells the story of a confrontation which he had with his opponents; his gun jammed, which is usually the result of a worn ejector. This also suggests that PS has been shooting his gun often. Meanwhile, PS' opps ran away, but here he claims that if his gun hadn’t jammed, he would have killed them, and they would have ended up on the news.
PS also told his opps to check the news in his verse on “Who’s Badder Than We?”:
Check news, who got bored this time?
