Skeng (the bug) lyrics

breakbait · Post by **breakbait** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 12:14 pm

wooop! I finally got this yesterday, sold out pretty much everywhere in UK. It's one of my favourite tunes ever and I really couldn't care less about the violent lyrics... it's just a tune.

Joke thread.

What's the beginning bit? I understand it as

'What? Never had a king. something something. Who's that jumping..'

Phenomenon ONE.

Which doesnt mean anything.

how about no?

i already have one copy and just paid for another one.

not sure i'm gonna sell it actually, might keep both and loop the SKENG chorus bit over and over, til people get sick of it. would be a good trademark

this is in Red Eye by the way folks, peeped it the other day
would be interesting to see what Bug/Flowdan have to say about the lyrics really...

Grime MCs carry the stigmatism of a lot of double standards, basically I play this tune to my yoots they will say to me "big tune about guns blud!" not "very violent imagry works alongside the sonic attributes of the composition"

Weird thing about this track is that everyone says its sold out in most places, but I was in BM soho about a month ago and they literally had about 40 of these behind the counter, but none up on the shelves, could have just been my eyes playing tricks on me

"ROLL DEEP TEAM UP WITH POLICE FOR ANTI-GUN TRACK"

to be fair that track was two years ago, and probably did some good

didn't sound right on their mixtape where one minute they were speaking about how they would "leng man down" then next track that came on

fe mi number num one ) x3

(Verse one)

this one dedicated to all badman
whether ya from Manchester or London
whether ya from north London or Brixton
(?) push up in a hand

you don't wanna brush or step on wi shoe

put in the Ganja take out the seed
for all a me intelligent people
pon di road side we a smoke weed
yes indeed, thats what we need,
four, one time we talk and nah talk no more
sight dem boy and wi kick off the door
kick of dem door and wi run up wid tha four four
you don't wana see the four four
five, bust my gun and them nah stay alive,
tek ‘way ya son I might tek ‘way your wife,
(and you dun kno say mi a go still ago stab with knife,
tell dem mi nom in nom six,
dem walk with knife when we walk with sticks,
killa man mi ago done some pricks,
done some pricks wid tha M one six,
tell dem (babylon?) seven,
how much gun (wi got?) bust wid da seven
man don't wanna get us wid da seven,
cos ya only gonna get eleven
(something something) eight
bust my gunshot boy at the gate,
wi don't really care it's early or late,
badman man real we nah fake
straight, mi nom i nom i nom nine,
tec wid da nine, SW9, tec nine and a tec nine
boy dem can't dis mi it's fine, if a boy fuck wi mine,
then I get the ten, mac ten,
fi nom i nom ten, tell dem already
nah tell dem again
no problem

(chorus)

um, skeng, skeng, skeng
mi a killa man bust off the big skeng
skeng, skeng, skeng
mi a killa man wi load the big skeng
car, car, car,
skeng pon road, no skeng in car
car, car, car
mi a killa man roll in a car,
road, road, road,
(walk inna something something) and I walk with sword,
sword, sword, sword,
shot inna face like dart in a board,
real, real, real
bullet fly through bumper, whole windscreen
screen, screen, screen
who can't hear dem (woman ago feel)

(verse 2)

[puuuuusssyole dem nah know me]
see mi pon di roadside rolling
like say ya feel ya cyan roll in
we have da machine ready for dem,
ready for dem,
no make me ave fe stroll in,
when the big dogs roll in,
you don't want see when gunshot start beat
it will be like when dog'a eat tripe
come a to stop a whole lotta dem,
tell you d'truth se mi nah care bout dem,
cah we me duppy de duppy de duppy (cah instead of 'cos)
de duppy de duppy dem
me ago send bad duppy fe dem

man a bad a man from a long time,
I swear down you can ask all a de people dem,
look inna mi face , brother man you don't wanna see man when wi get evil then,
then, then, then,
you don't wanna see me get evil,
evil, evil, evil,
worse, worse, worse,
shot inna face make you send for the nurse,
nurse, nurse, nurse,
doctor can't fix ya send for the hearse,
hearse, hearse, hearse,
doctor can't fix you send fe de hearse,
black, black, black,
funeral start everybody in a black,
poper in a suit and muma in a frock,

lines 1-9 of verse 2 repeated.

I don't know what possessed me to actually do this but I've made a few changes which I think are right. I love inflicting this song on girls and mothers and asking them what they think of it.

didnt sound right because its unbelievably ironic to the point its actualy more damaging than good

firstly, great name. wheelchair prince! what a beauty!
secondly, interesting interpretation of the lyrics!

i can confirm beatjuggling skeng is lots of fun...you can loop the skeng bit over and over til people get angry, or replace random words in the song with the word 'skeng' which is great!

we na really care if its early or late, badman really wanna SKENG! etc etc
