Sticks 'N' Stones Lyrics


When there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
When there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find troubleI took a train again away from shame and blame a city pained to see
A friend I hadn't seen since I was drinkin' underage
I was a ten a day, how'd you say, little shit
White lightnin', heightenin' all my courage, quick witWe wore checkered season wallabies, buttoned shirts and whiskey
Mutton dressed as lamb a fan of bands like The Jam, Jam, Jam, Jam
I don't know who I am, he said I dunno if I can
I said yeah man, you can, canWhen there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
When there's no one left to fight boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle he's out on the town tryin' to find troubleDrunk and being sick, I feel like shit, I gotta quit
I hope I haven't missed the last train, gonna be stuck in Hampton Wick
With the boys across the platform shoutin' lightweight prick
I'm a featherweight champion, cheap to get pissedWish Candy were here with me, she'd definitely deal with it
Tell 'em all to shut their mouths and go suck their mommas dicks
'Cause she ain't, no she ain't that low, three fingers down

Or the other two up and I'll sing this proudRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownAs I travel down the track all my memories flood back
We were runnin' at ease from enemies
And rushed back to your momma's flat
It's the only place but home I feel relaxed enough to crap
I know it sounds crude, but there's somethin' in thatHow's Danny doin'? Hear he's high flyin' and that
Stockbroker in the city with a lady and a baby
And Fee, is she free from the demons she had?
Was it two months clean, routine to relapse?Runnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownShe smoked all of your weed that's why the loved ones out to leave
Why when you take the lead they stab you in the back
'Till you can't breathe when you're bleedin' on the floor
And no one hears your call at all
She screamed out to the party, you are sheeps and cattleI was hangin' out with Louie in the shootin' gallery
When the news got through to me about you and Jeremy
Pat on my back and a swig on my brew
You're still my friend, it's impossible to hate youCradle to the grave, I know we always misbehave
People latch down and then they rain on our parade
Girls, we love leave when we want them to stay
Like today, remember what joey said?When there's no one left to fight boys like us don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle let's go out and find some troubleRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my ownRunnin' with believers, no time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With your sticks 'n' stones, sticks 'n' stones
I take 'em home on my own

Joseph Junior Adenuga, better known as Skepta, is an English Grime MC from Tottenham, North London, England. Originally from and born to Nigerian parents he moved from Lagos to London aged three. His family history can be traced back further to Ethiopia, to the Falash Mura community. He is a producer and DJ commonly associated with the North London Grime scene, including Roll Deep and Boy Better Know.
The name "Skepta" originated from the word Sceptre, a type of staff. He did not like the way it was spelt and felt that he wanted a unique stage name so 'that he could type "Skepta" in YouTube and only he would come up.' So, he changed it.
Skepta started his music career after he won a MC battle with over 300 people contesting beating Tempa T in the final. He also formed a partnership with his brother JME and became renowned throughout Greater London for his hit single (he also produced), "Private Caller" which featured many of his Meridian Crew from Meridian Walk in Tottenham.

Skepta (Managing Director) along with brother JME (CEO), began their grime label Boy Better Know in late 2005. The phrase "Boy Better Know" was originated by Big H the artist.
This phrase was then taken by Skepta and JME. Early 2006 saw the release of 'Shut Yuh Mut' - Boy Better Know Edition 1 which features all 3 artists and throughout the years has contributed and aided many other artists such as Frisco and Wiley to put out mixtapes, along with JME (4 mixtapes) and Skepta's September 2007 release 'Greatest Hits', which was distributed nationwide.
However now, Wiley left because he found mainstream chart success with Roll Deep, a crew that he co-founded and has enjoyed two number one hit singles with on the UK Top 40 Chart. He also had an ongoing 'beef' with Skepta, with both artists creating diss tracks, Wiley's 'Barnet' and Skepta's 'House in the Country' were both uploaded onto YouTube by both artists. However, this 'beef' was later proved to be false, as Skepta has stated in interviews, over Twitter, and whilst appearing on Ustream.

Skepta has released three singles off his third studio album, Doin' It Again (first with a major label). Titled "Bad Boy", "Rescue Me" and "Cross My Heart" featuring Preeya Kalidas, as well as a video for the Hello Good Morning (Grime Remix).
All singles charted in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, with "Rescue Me" being the most successful at number 14. The chart position of "Cross My Heart" was fairly disappointing coming in at number 31 and dropping out of the Top 40 a week later, bearing in mind it had the most promotion out of any of the tracks. After the success of his first single "Bad Boy", Skepta's videos were removed from his own channel and promoted through All Around The World (a division of Universal Records).
His tracks were also premiered on the official website of the label.
It is expected that "Doin' It Again" will be either released on or in partnership with All Around The World records, scheduled for a release of 31 January 2011 for digital download and on 7 February 2011 as a CD.
