Oliver Twist Lyrics
I just wanted some more, I wanted some more
ZEL, this shit crazy
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist
Never before has a boy asked for more (Never)
More? I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (Wanted some more)
Hah
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (More?)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Nah)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (And then?)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening
I used to think I’m just dreaming (What for?)
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (More?)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Don’t do it)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (Then what?)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening
I used to think I’m just dreaming
Now I’m up and my ex-girl’s all in her feelings (Fuck off)
It’s too late, darlin’, ’cause this ship is sailed away from your reaching
Ain’t one for preaching
But I’ve come a long way from all the rules I was breaching
Some lessons, there ain’t no teaching (Nah)
Gotta do it and learn for yourself, I never did want no help
Biggz just told me he’s worrying ’bout my health (My health)
‘Cause I’ve had four pints and three shots of rum and it’s half-past twelve (Don’t watch that)
In the afternoon, not the morning, told him it’s evening time somewhere else
In the world (Somewhere, bruv)
Plus, how you think I’ve made it so lit? (Huh)
I mean, besides the fact I’m the shit
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (More?)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Don’t do it)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this (Sure)
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (Say what?)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening
I used to think I’m just dreaming (What for?)
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (Oliver Twist)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Don’t do it)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (Fuck that)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening
I used to think I’m just dreaming
Now dreaming’s the way I be schemin’
Manifested, now I’m succeedin’
I’ve read the secret, I know the meaning
You want more? You don’t get there pleadin’, bruv
Fight for your own cause, kicking and screamin’ (Trust me)
‘Cause I come from the shore, but the poor part
All you see is crackheads fiendin’
Man’s smokin’ weed and
All the guys from dem sides comin’ down OT, dealin’ (Them man there)
I push her buttons, I pull strings
I’ve got her hooked and due to be reelin’
I ain’t faking a thing but
You should take what I say with a pinch of salt (Trust me)
‘Cause I find shit funny
But that’s ’cause you laugh in times of no hope
That’s how I learned to cope (That’s how I learned, bruv)
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (More?)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Don’t do it bruv)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this (Sure)
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (Then what?)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
I used to think I’m just dreaming (Ayy)
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (Oliver Twist)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss (Don’t do it)
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this
That’s why the bottle got popped at six (Fuck that)
And I’ll holla one thot by the evening
I used to think I’m just dreaming
I just wanted some more, Oliver Twist (More?)
Think I didn’t take risks to get to this ‘sitch? Don’t take the piss
I’ve been scummy, I admit, I did what I did, but I deserve this
That’s why the bottle got popped at when?
That’s why the bottle got, ah, ah, ah, ah
I just wanted some, Oliver Twist
