This Is What I Mean

Lyrics

It's a bigger operation
 What's with all the speculation?
 Had to close the store for renovations
 My cuzzy said, "Stormz, man, they're runnin' out for patience, you know"
 Time to make a statement
 Time to free my mind of 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
 Talkin' 'bout the bread, like it correlates
 I see you lookin' bothered with your bothered face
 Even though we're comin' from a common place
 All I see is stars, like we in a Wraith
 So, give him room to grow, and just give him space
 And he could be a young, black Jimmy Napes
 Ah, this is clean, this is clean
 This is what I mean
 I said, this is what I mean, yo
 All my niggas got it, we unanimous
 Cut from different cloth and different calibres
 My skeleton is matchin' with my managers'
 She love me 'cah I'm handsome and I'm talented (boy, boy)
 Hangin' off the banisters
 Tell me, who's gon' pay for all the damages?
 Ah, I'm just reckless like the mandem is
 Talkin' recky, we gon' ask you where your manners is
 I said it from a kid, you shoulda listened
 I manifest the shit and then it happened
 Said that I'ma do it, then it happens
 (P2J up on the riddim and it's slappin')
 I shout my brother Giggs, that's more than rappin'
 Shout my sister Mel, we doin' fashion (sheesh)
 Ah, all this work that I've been mashin'
 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 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 them sayin' Grime ain't dead
 I'm Harry Styles, the way I fine-line tread, you're goin' mainstream
 Mind your business 'fore you mind my bread
 If ten million weren't enough I make a life pledge, alright (boy, boy, boy)
 This is what I mean
 This is what I mean
 This is what I mean
 This is what I mean
 Uh, I can't address you niggas on the 'net, the disrespect
 They don't wanna give me my respect, it's disrespect
 A nigga doin' numbers, what the fuck did you expect?
 They charge a nigga 50 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 check
 I make a pay from your mother, 'cause it's lots on the beach
 White bitches rollin' in the deep
 Nosediving off a yacht, into the sea (blah)
 Still, I keep the blicky on me
 Bitch, I'm off that thing already
 You know I'm with a ting already
 She a centerfold, a centrepiece
 But she might like that chopper sing already
 Bitch, I'm off that thing already
 You know I'm with a ting already
 They don't wanna give my respect, the disrespect
 Y'all gon' have to pay your daddy, but respect the chain
 I don't do things the rapper way
 All that cappin' on the net will make the mandem blow a cap away
 So, we just let them niggas @ away
 I think I'm Kanye mixed with Donny Hathaway
 I heard Sunday's the new Saturday (Saturday)
 We praisin' God, I watch my enemies evaporate
 Hallelujah, to be honest, I could plan and do you
 But I gotta rise away above it, word to Dan Kaluuya
 No chance, buffalo stance on my Neneh 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 nothin' I ain't said already
 Oh, please, all my enemies are dead and buried
 I need that Häagen-Dazs, I need that Ben & Jerry's
 If we do it, then we do it large, I'm on my Kevin Perry
 This ain't the same man who said his head was heavy
 (This is what I mean)
 See say, if dey no one listen to
 Bredda smoke them 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 talkin'
 Dis jiggas are quiet, bredda dey no for tell you
 (This is what I mean)
 See say, if dey no one listen to
 Breddas smoke them paigons they don't deserve you
 (This is what I mean)
 This is what I mean
 It's just what I mean
 This is what I mean, oh
 (This is what I mean)
 Ooh, what I mean, oh
 It's what I mean, oh
 This 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
 This what I mean, oh
