Tekst piosenki 'This Is What I Mean' wykonawcy Stormzy

Oh
Oh-oh, why?

(Oh)
It's a bigger operation (Oh, oh)
What's with all the speculation? (Oh, oh)
Had to close the store for renovations (Oh, oh)
My cuzzy said: Stormz', man, they're runnin' out of patience, you know (Oh, oh)
Time to make a statement (Oh, oh)
Time to free my mind of limitations (Oh, oh)
Finesse the majors, that's my form of reparations (Oh, oh)
They said: You can't slide, you're a treasure to the nation (Oh, oh)
But what they gonna do, what they gonna say? (Oh, oh)
Stormz' got that sauce, this that bolognese (Oh, oh)
Talkin' 'bout the bread, like it correlates (Oh, oh)
I see you lookin' bothered with your bothered face (Oh, oh)
Even though we're comin' from a common place (Oh, oh)
All I see is stars, like we in a Wraith (Oh, oh)
So give him room to grow and just give him space (Oh, oh)
And he could be a young, black Jimmy Napes

Oh, 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 calibers
My skeleton is matchin' with my managers'
She love me, 'cause 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 should've listened
I manifest the shit and then it happened
Said that I'ma do it, then it happens
(P2J up on the rhythm 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 say that 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 milli' weren't enough, I make a lifetime pledge, alright (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 your niggas on the 'net, they 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 fifty 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, because 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
Nosedivin' off a yacht, into the sea
Blah, still I keep the blicky on me
Bitch, I'm off that thing already
Uh, uh, you know I'm with a ting already
She buy the whole house (Yeah, go), fuck a centerpiece
But she might like that chopper sing already, hmm
Bitch, I'm off that thing already
Uh, uh, you know I'm with a ting already
They don't wanna give me my respect, it's disrespect
Y'all gon' have to pay your respects, it's off the check (Um, alright)

I don't do things the rapper way
All that cappin' on the net, I'll make the mandem blow a cap away
So we just let them niggas out the way
I think I'm Kanye mixed with Donny Hathaway (Hathaway)
I heard Sunday's the new Saturday (Sat-sat-urday)
We praisin' God, I watch my enemies evaporate
Hallelujah, to be honest, I could plan and do you
But I gotta rise 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)
Cos you see say, if dey no one listen to you, breddas smoke dem paigons, they don't deserve you
(This is what I mean)
Can't keep you 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 talking, diss jiggas are quiet, bredda dey no for tell you
(This is what I mean)
Cos you see say, if dey no one listen to you, breddas smoke dem paigons, they don't deserve you
(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean, this is what I mean, this is what I mean, o
(This is what I mean)
Oh, I mean, o, it's what I mean, o, that's what I mean, o
(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean, this is what I mean, this is what I mean, o
(This is what I mean)
This is what I mean, o, is what I mean, o
