Over The Top Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I want 100%, not 50/50
I get money, but my name ain't 50
Went to the Lloyd bank, took out a Young Buck
Brown, purple, pinky
Then I put pink stones in the pinky
Bought an R6 and a motorbike jacket to make sure I minimise any injury
Come follow me
A lot of money's exchanging hands
They wanna know Boy Better Know plans
I told them smell this, can you smell that?
Mmm, grands, these other guys ain't got no fans
Wait 'til Jme's CD lands
Come follow me

[Hook]
I wanna make more than a hundred
I wanna make more than a thousand
I wanna make more than a mil
So I keep counting bills
One, two, three, four
Fold one over the top, more
One, two, three, four
Fold one over the top, more

[Verse 2]
I was frivolous, but now I'm a saver
I'm a hustler by nature
I can sell bread to a baker
Sell a fence to my next door neighbour
I wanna buy a wrap with a laser 'cause I'm famous, but I'm still a raver
Girls see me in the club, they're like, "he ain't got one bottle of champagne"
"He's got two!"
I'm like, "Babe
That's how we do!"
Your man can't do it like me
No I ain't Lethal da B
You better ask someone quickly 'cause
Come follow me

[Hook]
I wanna make more than a hundred
I wanna make more than a thousand
I wanna make more than a mil
So I keep counting bills
One, two, three, four
Fold one over the top, more
One, two, three, four
Fold one over the top, more

[Verse 3]
I make money, but I don't work in a mint
Brown, purple, pink
The queen looks pretty in pink
These other MCs are skint
I'm looking a black BM limousine tint
I don't want nobody to see me
Unless I'm on TV
Come follow me
Jack and stack, I've done that
You see the grime scene I run that
One thousand pounds for me, Max and J - bun that
More money, more paper
I want vehicles and mortgages
These other man don't know what ballin' is
Come follow me

What has Skepta said about this song?

It’s like I wrote a lyric the other day about making money, a track called “Over the Top,” and at the end of the track I say “I’m not saying I’m a rich man or a bather, just saying go get money…”. And everyone seems to have commented “ah Skepta think’s he’s gangsta because he’s making money, he’s talking like he’s rich, and he’s not even rich” and I actually said on the track “‘I’m not saying I’m rich I’m just saying, get money.’”

They’re really naive about things: in the music you’re not allowed to talk about money, clothes, wearing your own Boy Better Know T-shirt. They want us to talk about guns and fights and shanks and clashing for the whole thing. So I don’t really see myself like that and I try not to care what people say, and I just do me and live how I want to live.
