A shame that I came into this game alone/
But I’m gonna make a name in this Game of Thrones/
Forget all the lames out in Westeros/
Or bros named James on the Western Coast/
That new James Blake was too long yanno/
But on the Timeless remix, I killed the flow/
New skill that I’ve honed
1000 refugees killed on the boat/
In the Mediterranean/
Because of problems out in Mesopotamia,
They tryna dodge em/
Cuz nobody solves em/
Let’s not be solemn/
Drink brandy from a salamander and I’m hammered/
Animated like Homer and Ned Flanders/
Think I’ll get a home out in Flanders/
Maybe in Brussells/
Hope she Answers Me like Arthur Russell/
Built up some muscle, now I’m tryna trim the fat/
So I can get a chick like Prim Sripipat/
I rip the bag, I rip the bong/
I sip a flask and then I’m gone/
Grab a mic and I hit it raw/
Unhinge your jaw/
My lack of flaws has you in awe/
Still wonderin’ just what you saw/
The wunderkind of Missourah/
And Cackalack, North and South/
Factor that, into my sound/
Embrace the UK cuz they break new ground/
Grime, drum’n’bass and that Ruff Sound/
There’s a time and place for the here and now/
And blasts from the past to bring back around/
That’s how I’m found/
It’s Spoonman, I’m back in town/
