Stormzy – This Is What I Mean Lyrics

 

This Is What I Mean Lyrics by Stormzy

 

It’s a bigger operation
What’s with all the speculation?
Had to close the store for renovation
My cuzzy said, “Stormz man, they’re running out of patience,” yuh nuh
Time to make a statement
Time to free my mind and limitations
Finesse the majors that’s my form of reparations
They said you can’t slide you’re a treasure to the nation but
What they gonna do?
What they gonna say?
Stormz got that sauce, this that Bolognese
Talking ’bout the bread like it correlates
I see you looking bothered with your bothered face
Even though we’re coming from a common place
All I see is stars like we in the wraith
So just give them room to grow and just give them space
And he could be a young black Jimmy Napes
Ah, this is clean
This is clean (Clean)
This is what I mean
I said, “This is what I mean, yo”

All my n***** got it we unanimous
Cut from different cloth and different calibres
My skeleton is matching with my managers
She love me cah I’m handsome and I’m talented (Boy, boy)
Hanging off the bannisters
Tell me who’s gon’ pay for all the damages
Aww, I’m just reckless like the mandem is
Talking recky, we gon’ ask you where your manners is
I said it from a kid you should have listened
I manifest this shit and then it happened
Said that I’ma do it then it happened
P2J up on the riddim and it’s slapping
I shout my brudda Giggs, that’s more than rapping
Shout my sister Mel, we doin’ fashion
Ah, all this work that I’ve been mashing
Put your boy in the position, where I profit off my passion
Alright

They don’t know about the times I’ve bled
Give a fuck’ bout what the timeline said
I’ll do your day streams
In a second yeah, I shine like Ed
I thank God for the life I’ve led
Then get the Wraith clean
I heard ’em say grime ain’t dead
I’m Harry Styles the way I fine line tread
We’re going mainstream
Mind your business ‘fore you mind my bread
If ten million weren’t enough
I’ll make a lifetime pledge
Alright (Boy, boy)

This is what I mean
This is what I mean
This is what I mean
This is what I mean

I can’t address you n***** on the net, the disrespect
They don’t wanna give me my respect, it’s disrespect
A n**** doin’ numbers, what the fuck did you expect
They charge a n**** fifty every time I miss the jet, ah
I guess I overslept
If she hold me down then I might buy her a Patek
The mandem hold me back becah they know just how I get
Please don’t hold my money man, just wire me my cheque

A n**** came from the mud
To kissing sluts on the beach
White bitches rolling in the deep
Nose diving off a yacht into the sea
Blah
Still I keep the blikky on me

Bitch, I’m off that thing already
Uh uh
You know I’m on the ting already
Centrefold centrepiece
But she might let that chopper sing already (Hmm)
Bitch I’m off that thing already (Issa disrespect)
Ya know I’m with a ting already (Issa disrespect)
They don’t wanna give me my respect, da disrespect
Y’all gone have to pay that all in bodies, fuck a cheque

Umm, aight
I don’t do things the rapper way
All that capping on the net will make the mandem blow your cap away
So we just let them n***** at away
I think I’m Kanye, mixed with Donny Hathaway
I heard Sunday’s the new Saturday (Saturday)
We praising god, I watch my enemies evaporate
Hallelujah
To be honest I could plan and do ya
But I gotta rise above it, word to Dan Kaluyah
No chance, buffalo stance, on my Nenah cherry
They wanna see the Michael that they see on telly
You man just remind me of my girl, why you never ready?
I’m the G.O.A.T but that ain’t nuttin’ I ain’t said already
Oh, please
All my enemies are dead and buried
I need that Hagen Daaz I need that Ben and Jerry’s
If we do it, then we do it large, I’m on my Kev and Perry
This ain’t the same man who said his head was heavy

(This is what I mean) Coz Ese s3y
If dey no one listen to you
Breddas smoke dem paigons
They don’t deserve you
(This is what I mean)
Can’t keep your name out their mouth
They say you do this and that
We are tired already
(This is what I mean)
Talk is cheap, I don’t do bare talking
Diss jiggas are quiet
Bredda dey no for tell you
(This is what I mean) Coz Ese s3y
If dey no one listen to you
Breddas smoke dem paigons
They don’t deserve you

(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean
This is what I mean
This is what I mean, oh

(This is what I mean)
Oh, I mean, oh
It’s what I mean, oh
That’s what I mean, oh

(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean
This is what I mean
This is what I mean, oh

(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean, oh
Is what I mean, oh
