Soundboy Killer Lyrics

[Chorus]
I hate to take the lie, but you never gonna test with me, no
I read between the lines and Dot is just my son
Can't you see he's got the best of me? Yeah

Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five


[Verse 2]
Take my chances
Killing off another soundboy who never went to Eskimo dances

When D wrote Hard Back, sitting in the dungeon Dot
No hood passes

No hood glasses
Now you wanna step up on a dut' beat
Chattin' 'bout willies and arses
You ain't chatting to me though, if you get them thoughts
Go scream them out on the marshes
You recite old dubs quite well Dot
I won't lie, they tried this before
So I ain't gonna crumble or end up in shell-shock
I say "What Dot Rotten? What Dot Rotten? What Dot Rotten?"
Think back, that's shell-shock
Scared on the radio? I can tell Dot
And all of them diseases
They might be some of the ones that you and your _ got
I'm a killer, one of them natural soundboy killers
Killer, nobody try and watch my scrilla
Cause my approach is so much iller
Killer, Dot you know you ain't realer
You think you got the born instinct for a killer
Then I spray bars, take over like it'll be overnight
And I'll be back, the mic killer
You're me, son, I can hear it in your sound and I see son
You've got the wrong impression of me, son

Go to church, down on one knee, son
Tell God that your whole lifeline, life plan
Prime kicks and snares came from me, son
Wake up like, when you gonna see, son?
You was never gonna win unless we won
But it's just like a Durrty Goodz re-run
[Chorus]
I hate to take the lie, but you never gonna test with me, no
I read between the lines and Dot is just my son
Can't you see he's got the best of me? Yeah

Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five
Kill them again
Kill one, kill two, kill three, kill four, kill five


[Verse 3]
Can't give him any stripes I'm a war man
Killing off a vibe like set for the tour and he didn't do bad
Considering I'm a man who's been here for long, still got a plan
Drunk in a party, just ran
Same old song, you just sang my hook on a track though
The way you follow Wiley in this game's like
Say you wanna call me and lend my afro

If I fly off the handle
There'll be no reasoning heard abuse no retreating
That flow was a dead one, chief 'ting
Sounds like nothing you're releasing
Sounds like every one I ever had beef with
Spitting on a track one puzzle, they got the wrong pieces

Tell a man I don't wear fleeces nor am I
Addicted to anything but weed shit
I can't keep tellin' 'em
On the same mums, I can't stop bellin' 'em
Diss a man's mum, but heart felt telling her
Has she got a baggy pum pum like Elena?
Could've been a liar, no soldiers egging her
Get your boiled eggs on the stove, cause I make an advert
Like I would've wrote bars on the regular
And I still write bars on the regular
You don't see me spitting bars to a predator
You see me in Logic on the editor

When I make my Grime Dot, that sound was ahead of you
What does that mean? I'm always ahead of you
You're just a member of public enema
Not enemy, you're not my enemy

You bread me too much, follow my pattern
When deep down you follow me since that seminar

How to Format Lyrics:

Genius Annotation

A huge set of face offs with Grime MC’s happened in the first half of 2011 after Grime artist Durrty Goodz sent for Ghetts, Wiley and Dot Rotten all at once on “Battle Hype” by imitating their style and voice, but after Wiley replied with “Therapy Battling”, Durrty ducked out of the beef alongside Ghetts.

Around this time Wiley was being criticized for making too much pop music and people thought he was losing his edge as Dot Rotten replied with “Pop Artist”, and Wiley came back with “Soundboy Killer”.

After the release of Soundboy Killer any doubt was instantly eradicated on Puregrime and Grimeforum’s communities.
