THING
Bruv, you know that thing, that thing we were talking about
when we went out for drinks and we almost passed out?
Bruv, you know that thing, that thing, the other week in the pub
we were chatting about when we were out
on the lash and I was up for a snout?
Looking back, I regret it, like what must you think?
This thing that I told once I’d had a drink?
You know what I’m saying, that thing little thing
that I told you in secret about me and him?
I’ve tried acting aloof, but I’m over the place
I think you know the truth, it’s writ over your face
Though I’m sick to the stomach, Oh Father! Forgive me my sins!
But this boy, he busy my head, how he dizzy my pins
Oh, I know you’re not stupid, I know you’re not dim
But bruv, what I told you did that thing go in?
He’s the spring in my step, he’s re-jiggy my flow
But you must forget it or keep this thing low
If you know this thing bruv, you got shit on me
As you’d know this thing, it can sting like a bee
Me, drunk as a skunk and you pissed as a newt
Though I told you that thing, hope you no way compute
See I, I had to share before thing the thing burst
and you there at that time mate you heard the thing first
I thought ‘let the dog see the rabbit’, ‘the deer to the gun’
but the moment I blab it, thought ‘Shit, what I done?’
The moment I said it, wish could take it back
Hope your memory went fuzzy not just by the smack
But fuzzy by Daniels, by Mr Daniels, by Jack
and your memory got wiped at the time you hit sack
Last night when the thing, when he came walking in,
I thought your memory come back cos you gave me this grin
I got those butters in tummy, I tried to act chill
Those butters flying away? No. I don’t think they will
You gave me that cheeky boy, monkey boy glance
Like you like seeing me suffer me pooing my pants?
Were you smiling instead because that’s just your way
And it’s all in my head, this thing I thought I say?
I told you in secret what come out my gob
I know I think with my head, but I act with my nob
I’m a big mouth. I’m SEE ME, but quite a closed book
You reopened that thing when you gave me that look
On a wing and a prayer, and a tight tenterhook
that my thing overshare there’s nobody else shook
So bruv, have you kept quiet or have you let slip
Has the thing that I told you rolled off from your lip?
So do me a favour, tell me in a smile
that you know what my thing is, and that thing is vile?
OK, I whisper the thing in your ear
[I whisper the content of ‘the thing’ in bruv’s ear]
What?! It was not you I told? AWKS!
So now I know someone definitely knows the thing,
What you gonna do about it?
