[Chorus]
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham

[Verse 1]
I'm from the lane, that's me, cuz
Tsunami, get ate by the sea, cuz
MCs try and speak up with their weak buzz
Dead bars and your flow's small like C cups
Me? I'm the West London hero
Dem guys, they're the West London zeros
Dem man dere the West London weirdos
Us man looking like a hundred zeros
I'm the new Marcus Garvey
Flow's tight like Ferrari nani
I'm still cool with the akhs and the yardies
Strap sound like a North London derby
Strap sound like a shoutout from Tevez
Man get feelings for fun like Perez
Done dirt, brudda, I'm stripy like Dennis
Act up but they're not real just like Ted is
Man get eat up when the TEC patter
Controlling the game like Sepp Blatter
Who wanna diss man? That's a next matter
Chip shop and an MC get batter
Wear flip flops to a clash cause it don't matter
Mash girls in their gym tops like kappa
Badman think they're badman, I'm badder
Backchat, mek a man explode bladder
I'm a warlord like Genghis
So my outlook's bleak like Memphis
If you really wanna act cold like penguins
Big heat will fix your cold like Lemsips
It can go wrong on a grim day
Ruin man's day, give a fuck what his ting say
Don't get gassed cuh your chick's inside
Cuh the 44 long looks thick like Kim K

[Chorus]
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham

[Verse 2]
Draw for the shank, go on then, go on then
Draw for the MAC, go on then, go on then
Chat bad and you'll hold 2 2 slaps
I go to sets in a black cab with the whack
Send for man? Won't get a dub back
I'm too blessed, can't be stressed like jah
Watch over man, please don't let a man fall
6'2" so a man stand tall
AJ mash skettel pon di wall
She know start push up the poom, give it all
Dem not hard, dem man flimsy like card
Us man are real, dem man are all fraud
Came through with the sick flow, don't cat, that's dead
I don't wanna hear none of that
Not a similar title or rebore track
It's the front, I'm bringing it back
I get dark, real dark
We dash grenades at pagans' yards
Beg friends get kicked hard, real hard
Leave their threats in your birthday card
Oh my days, what is he on?
AJ's dread, AJ's not on
Twitter.com/AJFromTheLane
AJ from the lane, take a man's babes
AJ not half-heart, full-hearted
Vertex flow sounds cold when I talk it
Swim through the scene, you're a fish and I'm sharking
Man move pussy, cat when I'm barking
Man got friends from Stockwell to Barking
I'm grime, you man are all dancing
To the fans showing love, I'm starting
Swerve n Skid straight through the scene, free parking

[Chorus]
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham
AJ from the lane but it ain't Tottenham
True say that my dad lived in Tottenham
In my crib, man can't chat about Arsenal
Man are real Spur, I'm chatting about Tottenham

AJ Tracey

AJ Tracey is a British rapper and grime MC. His dad’s a former rapper from Trinidad, and his mum is a Welsh former drum and bass DJ. Based in Ladbroke Grove, West London (although he was raised in the south just like FT and true say, his dad lived in Tottenham), AJ started making waves in the pirate radio scene in 2014, although his songs under the name Looney date back to 2011.

Speaking to GRM about his stage name, AJ

Basically when I used to shot, I couldn’t give my real name. I used to wear loads of Armani, so I called myself AJ. The Tracey comes from this guy called Stacey in my ends. Everyone used to be/is scared of him so I thought, if a man has a girl’s name and he’s still scaring people, the maybe I should try doing it so I can be THAT guy.
