Ghetts went crazy in 2020. The legendary emcee continued to bless fans with tons of music throughout the pandemic without actually releasing a full body of work. We’re certainly not complaining but now that we’re in 2021, it looks like his first drop of the year is an indication of big things to come in the future. The rapper teamed up with Stormzy for his latest single, “Skengman.” It’s a celebration of excellence as grime’s most commercially successful exports and an OG in the game bring it back to the roots of their craft over eerie production reminiscent of the shadowy London back-alleys.

[Chorus: Ghetts]
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
[Verse 1: Ghetts]
Skengman mode
Gloves, mask, jet black coat
Man do dirt then head back home
Eye in the sky like check that drone (Skeng, skeng, skeng, skeng, skeng, skeng)
If I’m on a glide, let that go
(I) I could be the bigger man but dem boy dere won’t respect man’s growth
Wingman, leftback flow
Wig man, head back blown
Sick man, get some cold
Dip man, send man home
Twist and bend that bro
(I-I) I was nineteen with a gun twice my age
I put man in the boot that was twice my weight
[Chorus: Ghetts & Stormzy]
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
(That’s Gunshot Mike or Mr. Skeng)
[Verse 2: Stormzy]
I’ll stand in the middle of the field an’ scare man’s crow
You birds ain’t shit, got bird’s eye view when you niggas involved
If—if snitches then man’s cold
Them mans start hittin’ up, skengman mode
Man blast him, don’t care where man goes, kaboom (Kaboom, kaboom, kaboom)
Even in a plain tee, I’m flexin’
Pat a nigga down and find every pocket, I’ll Ghetts him
Drag him out the car, man eject him
Could’ve been year eight how I swept in
New school niggas ain’t nowhere testin’
Cah you niggas do online wrestlin’ (Boy)
I’m the Merky co-founder
Got the gift of the Gab, play me louder
I could talk about the kettles on the counter
But you know about the kettles on the counter
Look, I love a real-life encounter
It’s funny on the phone you’re a shouter
They couldn’t figure how I pattern my flow
I stay cool and my catalogue’s cold, I’m too nice with it (Oh, oh)
Too clear, blue sky with it (Oh, oh)
Used to have a hooptie and do crime in it (Oh, oh)
It’s a big movie when I’m in it (Boy)
Old school like Blues and Benners
And I work hard like two Kris Jenner’s
Yours truly, true skengers
It’s the skengman mode endeavors
[Chorus: Ghetts]
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
[Verse 3: Ghetts]
Celebrity death match
One shot, lick out your head back
Man try run up on me, I make legs snap
Wheelchair for the next lap
Everyting jet black
Done a man’s dance, can’t get that event back
Suck who’s mom?
Which one of you said that?
48 Laws of Power has got man gassed
Which one of you read that?
Before I ever knew about Robert Greene
I knew about robbin’ scheme
I knew about ‘igh-top skin fade, bobbin’ weave
iPod, mixtape commentary
Why stop this way? Obviously
I got pricks sayin’ they’re onto me
What the fuck do you want from me?
Man wanna draw Ghetto out constantly
[Chorus: Ghetts]
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
[Outro: Ghetts & Choir]
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
Skeng, skengman
Skeng, skengman mode
