Here are the lyrics to Backbone by Stormzy and Chase & Status:

[Intro]

Check

Ten toes

one finger for the trigger

Grrah

[Build: Stormzy]

Uh-oh, who's on who?

Said you let it ring, but it never goes through

My mind's f*cked, my head's gone too

The smoke's with the mandem, but the joke's on you

Uh-oh, who's on what?

Don't tell my brothers cah we'll spin the whole block

What we buyin'? Everything you got

Tell them little p*ssies that we take the whole lot

[Drop: Stormzy]

You ain't got no backbone

I get it out the trap, I ain't got a trap phone

I got Ps and Ms and Ks and Os

They're illiterate with letters, so I'm lettin' n****s know

Used to give them high-fives, now it's just a middle finger

Diamonds on my Patty, do the Bogle when I linger

They think I'm a rapper, I think I'm a singer (Yo)

Catch me in the cut, I treat the Urus like a dinger

Get you southern-fried, I'm a South boy on some South s**t

This is Chase & Status, this ain't all that f*ckin' house **t

I score a goal and I do my dance, I Peter Crouch it

Heard them brothers wanna do me somethin', but I doubt it

[Build: Stormzy]

Do me somethin' then, do me somethin' if you're bad

My mother calls me Mike, but I think I'm Jack the Lad

Tell us what you're workin' with, don't tell us what you had

I need to start my sentences with "Sorry, may I add" (Woo)

[Drop: Stormzy]

You ain't got no backbone

You ain't got no backbone

[Build: Stormzy]

Uh-oh, who's on greaze?

Said you got the mash, but you never let it squeeze

My head's hot, my wrist on freeze

I keep a little somethin' for you p*ssy emcees

Uh-oh, who's on what?

Don't tell my brothers 'cah they'll spin the whole block

What we buyin'? Everything you got

Tell them little p*ssies that we take the whole lot

[Drop: Stormzy]

You ain't got no backbone

You ain't got no backbone

[Outro: Stormzy]

Do me somethin' then, do me somethin' if you're lit

My mother calls me Mike, but I think I'm the sh*t

Don't tell us how it used to be, just tell us how it is

They never gave me nothin', so it's fair I take the p*ss, p*ssy
