Skepta - Animal Instinct Lyrics






[Skepta:]
It's the animal instinct
Look in my eyes, they see it
I walk in the room, they feel it
Told the mandem start movin' different
We're some endangered species
How many years I been puttin' in work?
Man not tryna get freebies
See me, they like, "Wah'gwan, GG?"
Man, I speed off like beep, beep
Had to get ghost, had to get Swayze
Girls see me on the road, get crazy
She asked me if I ever met Jamie
That's my family, rule red paisley
Active boys, never lazy
Might link up 'cause we GRM Daily
Could've been a Monday or a Sunday
Treat that like a Friday, get wavy
Still, I be on my P's and Q's
Like KA, yeah, we got the juice
You can't stop me, best ya take your eyes off me
Go find something to do
I got nothing to prove, they wanna see me lose
But I'm in Paris with the goons
I should take a selfie and go and hang it in the Louvre
And that's why they wanna start beef
'Cause the gang came in lookin' like an art piece
Made your wifey skip a heartbeat
I love cake, man, I'm tryna get a large piece
Two's company, three's a crowd
So four must be an afterparty
I told my nigga pass the car key
Jump in the whip and I make it look sexy
Such a poser
Front page in my boxers for the culture
Hang it on your wall, that's a poster
Ex-girl still tryna get closure
I don't even know where to start
Can't believe that we've grown apart
I ride around town with a broken heart
Say, "You get me?" But you don't know the half
'Cause I never complain
Whether good or bad, you gotta ride it out
Yin yang, you must know what the signs about
Hope you live that life that you rhyme about
It's a race against time and it goes so fast
Take 'em back to school, man, they got no class
No tints on the window just so they can see the big smoke when I blow past

[Lancey Foux:]
You see the white man's face when they see us in the Wraith
You see the fed ain't hit, live like I'm ready to die today
I see it, it's mine, I take it
GTA life, been gettin' wasted
I want the smoke, put it in papers
Smoke me an O, smoke me a racist

You see us out, outrageous
African Gino or erasers
Shake up the world when I step on the pavement
I step in your home, don't take off my trainers
I'm not a black man, I'm not white, man
I'm a sight, man, you see Skep, you see my gang
Big elephant, nothin' like my man
Lash got the pack, Dex might tie one
Step in the club, them man leaving dust
Scariest sight, run if you must
I don't know I should pray to God
But sex, money, murder, I trust
Sex, money, murder, true
Except this money ain't nothin' ain't new
Open my eyes, I'm in the coupe
Look to my right

You see the white man's face when they see us in the Wraith
You see the fed ain't hit, live like I'm ready to die today
I see it, it's mine, I take it
GTA life, been gettin' wasted
I want the smoke, put it in papers
Smoke me an O, smoke me a racist
You see the white man's face when they see us in the Wraith
You see the fed ain't hit, live like I'm ready to die today
I see it, it's mine, I take it
GTA life, been gettin' wasted
I want the smoke, put it in papers
Smoke me an O, smoke me a racist

    Skepta New Album Ignorance is Bliss is the best Project he has ever made. He is the greatest UK artist and made the UK grime scene much better for more than a decade.

    J.... H....

    Joshua Holdbrook there is Dave and aj tracey

    J.... H....

    Right synthesis, totally agree at 100%, not 4 nuthin' if A$AP Rocky comes to see him when he needs inspiration 😁

    J.... H....

  60. C.... ....

    “ And that’s why they wanna start beef .. cause the gang came in looking like an art piece “ SKEP CHILL ! 🔥

  61. W.... S....

    The long wait for the bass drop was worth it lmao but I thought for a minute that it never would lol

  62. M.... C....

    Skepta Season 🙏

  63. h.... g....

    If this song was a play in football, skepta played a 50 yard pass across the pitch and Lancey finished it volley into the net🔥🔥🔥 madd linkup

    h.... g....

    Haha sick analogy

  64. P.... B....

    Skeppy definitely listened to shotta by uzi n carti n got inspiration, Heavy base + baby voice is amazing

    P.... B....

    Pablo Brown these were my first thoughts!!!!!!!!!!

  65. P.... B....

    FUCKN TUNE

  66. S.... A....

    That beat at the end was different to the rest of the song. He did this purposely after Text me Back too on Konnichiwa. I like it.

  67. B.... C....

    Lancey has been slept on for too long, he’s gotta blow up soon

  68. m.... b....

    Skep + Lancey is always so sick

  69. p.... ....

    might link up cause were grm dailey 🔥🔥

    p.... ....

    penniez oh yeah yeah

    p.... ....

    @aasds adada oh yeah yeah

  70. G.... M....

    not gonna lie, this was my fav. song until the feature came in.. don't know if people will trashtalk me now but i know i will play this song everytime just to the point before the feature comes in, not a fan of this dudes voice

    G.... M....

    damn fr? lancey killed this imo!

    G.... M....

    I agree

    G.... M....

    Rene Timmermans ye but i def. think im in the minority here by disliking his part, most people i see in the comment section said they really like it

    G.... M....

    @Gvs MonkeyMonkey lanceyfoux the future. the UK needs this tbh but I can see why you don't like it.

    G.... M....

    3 months later and tbh i really fw lancey now.. especially Pink 2 and his previous singles are just hard af imo haha
    still didn't really change my mind tho, i think it should've been just skepta on this track (and have lancey on a different track)

  71. B.... M....

    SPEED DEMON

  72. p.... b....

    lancey guy

  73. a.... ....

    I love cake, man I tryna get a large piece 🔥

  74. O.... ....

    LANCEY ?! 🚨🌊⛈⚡️🤯🚨

  75. S.... ....

    Feature ruins it imo, this was the same shit different day sequel

  76. J.... S....

    Lancey got dat ysl Voice slattt+*🐍

    J.... S....

    Okay so I’m not tripping lol i thought it was lil gotit.

    J.... S....

    J.... S....

    Brandon Dozier nigga calm ur self yo name Brandon

  77. M.... L....

    This bangs, best one ✨✨✨

  78. 0.... 0....

    I didn't think that beat was ever gonna drop😍😍😍

  79. M.... ....

    would have been better if it ended right after skep said "so they can see the big smoke when I blow past" lol

  80. k.... ....

    my days🔥

  81. B.... C....

    Skepta and Lancey are so good, they both deserve a lot more publicity. I can't believe my generation hail "rappers" like Lil Uzi, Trippie Redd, Ian Dior, and all the other cringey broken heart trash "yuh yuh what ugh ugh what yuh ugh yuh what what" repetitive garbage stuff, they're on the same level of rap as Taylor Swift.

    B.... C....

    @Louis L uzi is super trash

    B.... C....

    @Louis L yes

    B.... C....

    That kinda music is just to sauce on not for lyrical content

    B.... C....

    They still cold

    B.... C....

    Bruh shut the actual fuck up. If someone wants to listen to something let it. Istg when you grow up you're gonna realise how much of a neek you sound rn.

  82. i.... ....

    anxiously waiting for bass to come in
