Who's Your Gaffer? MorDan breaks down, why he's the Chief

lyrics

I hit the stu like I'm Sun Tzu
Stench of warfare still marinates
Engineer got PTSD from my last tune
De ja vu flashbacks head shakes come through
Scarred up some tough luck but still resolute
Mandem aint brought out the gun fingers
Since early 2000 Dynamite boo
See me that's a normal salute
Every time I jump on the riddim or spray up the tune
Know it's a given I'm driven take over the room
My time killing it now like It's long overdue
Class of my own like being isolated in school
I remember before Afrobeats was the main ting
Remember how certain man be Jafaking
Cat thug lifestyle till their image betrayed them
Them tribal marks turn to gang wounds entertainment
ticks and stones
Belt buckle and bottles
Threats to wait there I get my older involved
See mandem shook all twist in knots at the dome
Like the way a nappy head dredds a tooth pick comb
Them teenage years bear attitude shown
How many mums threatened to send man back home
Man done a short bid few months I should know
Realise how good I had it when I had to buy soap
And learn to handwash my bed garments an clothes
Iron and pressed finessed all neatly fold
Some I left out to dry on the balcony side
By the morning time all the name brands got stole
These Millenials got it good cha
Before WhatsApp chat free message and call apps
We did shop runs hard just to buy phone card Indomy noodles bread and stew on the regular
Felt the taste of sorrow bruh no faux pas
See when NEPA done took the light now
We had to use fuel to work the generator
These stories from my childhood you just can't make up
Using matchsticks to light up the lantern
Local area boy same struggle we all mandem
Wash hands and roll sleeves for pounded yam dem
A King straight Chief no random
Make me the OGA
Hmm Hmm
We be the Chief Dem
Eh heh
NEPA take power
Chia
We keep lit up on these ends
Make me the OGA
Hmm Hmm
We be the Chief Dem
Eh heh
NEPA take power
Chia
We keep lit up on these ends
Make me the OGA
Hmm Hmm
We be the Chief Dem
Eh heh
NEPA take power
Chia
We keep lit up on these ends

has drawn comparisons to Nas, Lupe Fiasco and
