Skepta – Wish You Were Here lyrics

[Intro]
How many times?
Go on then
Yeah

[Chorus]
You said you were my brother but you weren't there
Came to squash beef but you weren't there
Came to your party, you weren't there
Came to your house and you weren't there
Came a long way from trapping in the bando
When I was on the road, fam, you weren't there
Look up in the sky, that's me goin' clear
All that talk about clash, that's air
You said you were my brother but you weren't there
Came to squash beef but you weren't there
Came to your party, you weren't there
Came to your house and you weren't there
Came a long way from trapping in the bando
When I was on the road, fam, you weren't there
Look up in the sky, that's me goin' clear
All that talk about clash, that's air

[Verse 1]
Yeah
Please don't talk about war
Man a got no heart, show you about war
Looking in your eyes, I can see you're not sure
How you come to the block when you know I'm on tour
Verbalist, you love chatting online
Yeah you went jail, tell man what for
Pussyole ting, can't celebrate that
Stop tryna glorify wasteman things
Big business when my telephone rings
Oldschool beef, no I ain't got time
Oldschool friends, no I ain't got time
Life goes on, man I can't rewind
Yeah
I praise the lord, and I shine
Suck whose mum, can't be chatting 'bout mine
Full control, can't waste my energy
Them MC's are just too bad mind

[Chorus]
You said you were my brother but you weren't there
Came to squash beef but you weren't there
Came to your party, you weren't there
Came to your house and you weren't there
Came a long way from trapping in the bando
When I was on the road, fam, you weren't there
Look up in the sky, that's me goin' clear
All that talk about clash, that's air

[Bridge (reversed)]
Don't watch that
Hold tight Wiley, where are you?
Original
Grime

[Verse 2]
Yeah, just admit it
Nobody did it like I did it
Produced my own beats, I think of my own lyrics
Could have kept it all to myself but I split it
Man are so ungrateful, man are so wicked
When I'm on stage, move your hand from the mic
Guess I'ma give it when I'm finished
Man said he wants to talk, I'm like, "is it?"
DM, 'cause I'm not giving you my digits
And it's likely I might've ignored it
'Cause by now I think the talking is boring
More time I leave a bullshit message on read
Just to make a nigga see that I saw it
All the chit chatter get a nigga nowhere
Diss big smoke, now you're getting nightmares
All I ever hear is this year's my year
But you never turn up, I know you don't really care
But Jam was there, Lay was there
Em was there, Donner was there
Ayo was there, Sister was there
Dad was there, Lash was there
Decks was there, Stage was there
Mic was there, Dex was there
Even Ghetts was there
That's Movement
Boy Better Know, my G I really wish you were here

[Chorus]
You said you were my brother but you weren't there
Came to squash beef but you weren't there
Came to your party, you weren't there
Came to your house and you weren't there
Came a long way from trapping in the bando
When I was on the road, fam, you weren't there
Look up in the sky, that's me goin' clear
All that talk about clash, that's air
You said you were my brother but you weren't there
Came to squash beef but you weren't there
Came to your party, you weren't there
Came to your house and you weren't there
Came a long way from trapping in the bando
When I was on the road, fam, you weren't there
Look up in the sky, that's me goin' clear
All that talk about clash, that's air
