Ferny Mac on the beat and it's Marx on the mic Guaranteed to give you what you like So if all y'all are feeling nice Somebody say izz riiight Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from Hull City Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from HRE Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from Hull City Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct Ayo I feel glorious, permanently victorious I'm sort of a disgrace, Oscar Pistorius And I'm kind of a bastard but I'm not inglorious I wanna be so big they can't help but call me Notorious I do a lotta tours don't make a lotta dollars Not bothered, I got fans streaming me in Guatemala When I play, they salute, trust I get a lotta hollas Leave the stage sweating like a pig and still pop my collar Please, honestly, thank you for the kind words With my verse, I'm guaranteed to help your mind learn I might serve you fiends with some heat next With more English language than your standard SAT test And now I'm here to relieve stress A grin glued to my grill God, I never been vexed I eat fish that's food for the brain True to the game, so addictive, take and shoot in your vein I refuse to speculate but who is insane? Your crew is just lame, stupid and plain, and losing in vain I'm a real dude, trust me I'm real smooth When I'm at uni at Monty Halls, I steal food Trespass like Goldie Locks, start munching your porridge I sell out everywhere I play, Manchester to Norwich Travelling, trawling, training, intending to spread knowledge Like I told you before, they call me a college Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from Hull City Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from HRE Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct from Hull City Martin G'll show you how to emcee Live and direct I'm the Humberside Headhunter, Gemini God Enjoy your free download of ten of my songs I'm an outcast, you bumped Aquemini once Stay ahead of icons, they surrender by force And yes my name is Martin but I feel more Malcolm Hit you with darts, the album before the album Split you apart, I grind but still allude the outcome Throw money at it, hope it sees a couple thousand Views, pays your dues, rave reviews Stay making tunes while the fake make the news Some refuse to support like two naked dudes But still stay amazed at who's blazing twos I can barely function when we blaze so stoned But I ain't disposable like fake snowglobes I wanna own the company that make those clothes You can't keep up so mate go home I may gross pose when they take photos When I play those shows I still make no dough I'm well travelled, but still stay homegrown Tell the world my name like K-Solo Excessive decibels though I shrug off tinnitus Don't even have Sky mate, I remain limitless And on the rare occasion someone tries to diminish us I stick two fingers up 'cause I couldn't give a fuck

I feel for anyone who's experiencing a struggle With nowhere to turn, just desperate for a cuddle More often, I think stop staring at the puddle Sorry to burst your bubble but I'll offer no rebuttal I'm stressed out. You okay hun? Inbox me Thirsty for attention from those who did not see Or did not care, so you cry it's not fair Check my timeline it's only hip-hop there Relatively speaking, dead relatives shouldn't be used As a shameless tool to gain likes and views Yesterday it was sound in your relationship Now ya hate this bitch, fuck's sake, take your pick Exhilarating or exhausting? Airing out your dirty laundry See I find it entertaining, paradoxically it bores me Snapchat stories only last ten seconds Yours shows your full life, damn that must be a record Back in school, we used to call it fishing for likes Don't wanna sign out and start living my life Check what I post, and I think isn't it nice I spit in a mic and know my decision is right I oughta block that spamming twat and get him out of my sight But I can't, he posts them funny memes that I like I'll just angry react, yeah that'll serve him right Or maybe just ignore it, and get on with my life Keep your head up baby, it'll be alright No need to fight, it's you and me all night Put your phone away, why you so concerned about likes? Forget that shite and start living your life Living your life, living your life Start living your That's a bit rich, you're addicted to phones Yeah every minute I post, I can't leave mine alone The way I tan through data, it's like I'm on wifi Never flown a plane, still pretty fly for a white guy Just locked my phone, check the notificates Sucked through the screen, I'm in a whole different place Share everything I do so you know that it's great Whole hours out my day just stole from my face I'm part of the problem, and to me it just seems Instead of chasing my dreams, I'm sat staring at memes All you see is simple boasts and Simpsons quotes On your high horse like it was a sin to post We just want the shows to stop, you post a lot Just smoke the pot mate, you're not Coke la Rock Work at a faster rate and crack on with your mixtape Or just procrastinate and scroll through all the clickbait

I brought my notebook to write rhymes, but no pen Brainwaves exploding, how can I hold them? Sound so slick, someone else must have wrote them If you left a message then, please leave a note when Compliments bore me, please tell me I'm wack So I can jump up, get behind the mic and attack Let me show and prove that I can body a track I won't stop moving forward, I can't start to fall back Just leave it to me to run rap I tell you like LL that it ain't a comeback My flows like virgins, in that they come fast Destroy stages as a hobby and that's a fun fact I need to make a killing, or better yet a living Search for some peace of mind in the world that I live in 'Cause the psycho psychic phantoms can be so unforgiving Make you drop to your knees and say fuck it, I give in What the fuck am I on about? Marx is chatting shit again! As a bane, I used to rip raps at age four And with the chit chat, I start to wage war Tanned through my student loan so I'ma stay poor I could buy food, but I'd rather play tours Please excuse me if I'm feeling pretty confident My creations get played in every continent It comes as no surprise, 'cause it's perfectly cromulent Two vowels please Rachel, and a couple of consonants The countdown to extinction I can't be arsed with rhyming, what's the next Simpsons? I never buy weed, I'd rather smoke yours Toke four, then jump over the Springfield Gorge I'm tryna make a spliff and can't find a place to sit I'm on the toilet, but I don't need to take a shit Pass the Stinging Roger, thanks, I'll savour it Treehouse Six, aw sick, that's my favourite Is a fucking beast episode though When Homer goes in 3D and that It's funny, I sit and think for a second still I'm wasting my life, I'll probably never get a record deal I don't believe in God, so when I pray to the death I will I'm talking to myself, and who cares how the Hell I feel? Dangle it in front of me, sick of these teasers Be Sharps second album, Bigger Than Jesus With different songs for different seasons Professional with these tools, no logic or reason Every move I make is calculated and precise Shattering the scales when detonating the device You seen me on the mic? Then you know I'm pretty nice Got a pretty wife, but you still lead a shitty life How many times a day my name lands in your search bar? And then you see me slay, aw mate, it must hurt, nah? I still approach this like I was writing my first bar Trip over my tongue, not a clue what the words are Guymer laaaaaaaaayd The Notorious MKG 2018

Like Royce and Preemo, bet, I'm in my prime I would get called an emo, yet I'd step up and rhyme I'm chasing green, no Cee-Lo, though I'm sweating on my lines Ayo, look how he goes! Mate I'm always on my grind First performed when I was nine, now I'm on tour all the time My life, my lyrics, the two'll intertwine Yo, how ya doing Marx? Mate, I'm doing fine I shine so bright I got these fools going blind Sixteen lines on the page Pristine rhymes are display Fifteen when I pressed play Now I miss being away from the stage I wish I'd be famous today, actually, in my own head I am 'Cause I get recognised when I'm out with my Mam Approach me in the streets, rub elbows, shake hands Yo, when you next free mate? Let's make plans 'Cause I know How to cold flow, rock a show, body everywhere I go, so you know how I roll I know How to hold a mic, just right, I help ya see the light when I rhyme so tight I know How to cold flow, rock a show, body everywhere I go, so you know how I roll Yeah, I know How to hold a mic, just right, I help ya see the light when I rhyme so tight I know Yeah, I know More shows per week than you play in a whole year Middle of nowhere, Ghost Towns, I go there Told you on my first joint, I can see so clear I aren't talking clothing when I say I have no fear Ya should probably thank me I live in Liverpool like my name was Bill Shankly One four a week average, well how you manage? You ain't even 21 yet, you're still savage This is simply raw Complex calamities that Da Vinci saw I grip the mic, tight as an Olympic Torch Fashion expert, check my Simpsons shorts Throw a dart, hit the bullseye, that's a sure shot Never dilute the product 'cause I slang pure rock Travel six hours for a shit support slot Any pay? Any drinks? Nah, well I thought not 'But I know How to cold flow, rock a show, body everywhere I go, so you know how I roll I know How to hold a mic, just right, I help ya see the light when I rhyme so tight I know How to cold flow, rock a show, body everywhere I go, so you know how I roll Yeah, I know How to hold a mic, just right, I help ya see the light when I rhyme so tight I know Yeah, I know

I promote pointless trivia While the slave trade thrives in Libya I consider how to further my career While they kill the dissenters in North Korea I bust my back, just touring the nation While men get murdered for their orientation I struggle for the words to put in this track While someone caught a bullet for the crime of being black The victims are the girls facing sexual assault Yet they go home and cry thinking it was their fault Women get raped and denied abortions Allegations silenced and accused of extortion Abuse of power on an epic proportion Ignorance is bliss, factual distortion So much pain, I don't think we care We don't make change, no we just send prayers Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consunption No discussion just embrace destruction Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consumption No discussion just embrace destruction Making paper aeroplanes, up into the aerospace Sat behind your interface spreading blood and hate This is not the fate of the whole human race It’s time we dissipate, too late for renegades Integrate with our species, just too needy Burn all the resource and still get greedy Eat all the Earth and we still scream feed me Then cause all the wars 'cause there’s no such treaty Beats me, another flag with a flame on Call it revolution when your dropping an a-bomb, Kill your own people with atoms and radons Then brainwashed, thinking they’re never able to break off Stayed on living a living under a raindrop Slaved once, but the secret mission is played off And played on, looking for a signal to claim from Really we're just searching for the source of the way on Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consunption No discussion just embrace destruction Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consumption No discussion just embrace destruction Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consunption No discussion just embrace destruction Mass corruption, tax deduction Class dysfunction, we lack in substance Subconscious instructions for mass consumption No discussion just embrace destruction

Ya know what, last night must have been hectic Wasn't even meant to go out, so unexpected Double voddy Redbulls, we be on some next shit I stumble through the process like the Tories with Brexit These unplanned nights are what I find best Smoke hits my chest, stench of shit on my breath If I'm not at work, I'll probably be on the sesh The same reason I'ma have a premature death The plate gets passed around and I wait my turn Next day I see my face on rate my gurn Hit the back of your throat, shit my face might burn I'm in tune with everything, have a safe night girls Played a couple festivals, but never been Tramlines Tried a few things, yeah I tanned a few gramlines Listen, I'm just laying out the plain facts Snorter in each nostril, I call it train tracks Don't misconstrue this as me glorifying 'Cause if you see me on it, then you saw me dying A perfect match, thank you for applying Start demoralising just before arriving Could wake up in a bin, maybe Hedon Road Track Carrick mate, you're never gonna get your phone back Impossible to keep up, let alone last Jump on my twokker and pedal home fast Woke up this morning, don't know I got home I got the keys, and no lost phone Pupils dilated, ain't seen eyes wide as them An early night for me, ends at five AM I pull out my key and have a poke in the bag Absolutely twisted, just smoking my skag Mad night, I think I sniffed coke with your Dad But I can't say, I wasn't focusing lad I'm a mucky pup I see ghosts and spirits alongside Bill Murray Crossdressing and sweating like I was Tim Curry I used to rush, now I'm not in a hurry See instead of excitement, I go scatty and worry It comes to a point where getting high ain't enough Wired as fuck, transforming with Shia LeBeouf Pour yourself one, and make sure I get a cup And if you've got a joint mate, please fire it up Wearing trackies and a gurn, looking scruffy as fuck First place prize for the muckiest pup Maybe it's about time that I got clean But the best memories are when I'm offbean Sometimes, I feel too old for this shit Existential crisis while rolling a biff God bless the one who sold me this shit I'm going bad off it, but I was told it's legit Shit! The world is spinning and so are you At a random gaff with the weirdest crew Slipping into a hole, yeah I fear it too Degenerates, look at all the gear we do The only reason that I'm up at this time's To sit and chat shit, smoke spliffs and sniff lines Can't hack it anymore, this shit's defeated me I'm telling everyone I love them repeatedly A one way ticket in the wrong direction Stood, horrified at my own reflection Headgone John, thoughts so perplexing Can't feel my face, I can't get an erection Absolutely bombed out to the nines Embrace the comedown, chonged out of our minds Can't prohibit my use, you ain't Rex Banner So just keep the night going and play the next banger I'm a mucky pup

Guess who's back on another fat track? It's Phelix and Marx with another collaboration Hit that, sit back and relax Roll up another fat one and blaze it up to Ferny Mac We got that grade A, you know where it's at Fire when I blaze, and it's the same when I rap Just wait 'cause one day soon I'll be taking the stage And I'll be blowing all you other motherfuckers away I'm claiming my lane, I'm straight up changing the game And if you get in my way, then I'm erasing your name Can't be upstaged, can't be tamed, can't be changed I'm always evolving, I refuse to stay the same And if you wanna get rough, you're getting fucked up 'Cause me and Marx will have you sparked out after dark and that's no bluff But I'd much rather fire one up and give you a puff Make up with any enemies and give them some love I just wanna be so damn, so happy I just wanna be so damn, so happy Yes mate, grab the record, press play Extensive lexicon, heavy metal chestplate I take flake, getting scatty with my best mates And we're chatting more shit than your uni essay Some rappers take swipes with no real reasoning Smartprice spitters, I'm served with extra seasoning Fresher, bigger, badder, better, deffer Don't try push it you ain't Salt-n-Pepa My New Years resolution is to start a revolution My writ of execution is causing noise pollution I'm writing tunes going insane in the brain Same beat on repeat while I'm riding the train You can't compete, so just hide in your lane Don't care about the weather, still vibe in the rain Never mind another league, I'm on a whole 'nother planet Pristine purgatory Jeru couldn't damage I just wanna be so damn, so happy I just wanna be so damn, so happy

The light gets brighter, I might just bite her Maybe I don't like her, I'm just reaching for a lighter Drinking cider, right behind her, in a bed laid beside her Never been a fighter not a lover really neither Besides, how else can I get inside? I stuck my thumb out for a lift but I couldn't get a ride The sight of stop signs forced me to run and hide Stare into the sky, all I see the sun and I It's crazy, remember when I first met you? I didn't take a step, I didn't try to sweat you And now we're at the stage where I can't forget you You wormed your way in and I just let you A persistent pain, and it seems so strange How you beg me to stay, but you insist that I change Through your aims to control, our lives become tangled Emotions mangled, creativity strangled I see myself in a faded light, pushed me away I can't win this fight Destroyed all hope, tried to call home but the telephone broke Now I'm singing this song hoping we can hold on to something that's already dead and gone You and me, baby we weren't meant to last long Strive to move forward, convinced to walk away Bombarded with demands but you won't talk today I'm tryna make this work and you just bring more decay Addicted to the drama to you it's all a game Before we even thought of being exclusive I told you I'd be busy, Marx grind for his music That's never gonna change 'cause I'm a motherfucking lifer Why'd you even think you could come and change my cipher? What gave you the impression that I owe you something? You've a lot to learn, little girl, I tell you one thing If they're real, they won't sell out for a female Or anyone, no need to fine tune every detail I've done my best, it went over your head Cut my losses and say it's over instead 'Cause no matter what, to you I can't do out right So I'ma say fuck it and move on with our lives Biatch! Ha haa I see myself in a faded light, pushed me away I can't win this fight Destroyed all hope, tried to call home but the telephone broke Now I'm singing this song hoping we can hold on to something that's already dead and gone You and me, baby we weren't meant to last long I see myself in a faded light, pushed me away I can't win this fight Destroyed all hope, tried to call home but the telephone broke Now I'm singing this song hoping we can hold on to something that's already dead and gone You and me, baby we weren't meant to last long
