Doing styles on them like it's common sense
Hopped out the Benz like it's common sense
Got a monkey on my feet like it's common sense
Got gorillas in the streets like it's common sense
Stack the money, heads up, like it's second nature
Gotta stay poled up, like it's second nature
Keep a chip in my ear, like it's second nature
Big bunda make me stare, like second nature

Zs disappear like second nature
Posted on the same block like an hour later
Whole team eating, but it's only right
There's a spare plate but you're the phony type
"J Hus ugly, innit", baby, one minute
Your bunda looking wicked
Ay-o, I started off gentle
My stroke game mental, my lifestyle eventful
I didn't mean to offend you
Fendi belt saying "F you", I style like I'm meant to
Moving wild and mental, I made another five this week
Your money playing hide and seek
I don't even like to speak
I just tell 'em "Hi" and "Bye"
Slide off, automatic Hyundai, Hyundai, Hyundai

Doing styles on them like it's common sense
Hopped out the Benz like it's common sense
Got a monkey on my feet like it's common sense
Got gorillas in the streets like it's common sense
Stack the money, heads up, like it's second nature
Gotta stay poled up, like it's second nature
Keep a chip in my ear, like it's second nature
Big bunda make me stare, like second nature

Said you're gonna do it, you haven't did it, nigga, I'm handling it
Handy with it, think I'ma do it? Let the hammer do it
Click, Bam!
Stick jam, like what happened to it?
Why's it not working, bruv?
Why'd you think I'm lurking, bruv?
Creep on him, lean on him, witnesses eavesdropping
Keep popping, and keep bopping like I ain't seen nuttin'
Don't make me upset, reach for an object
"Who's that in the passenger?" "Brown skin chocolate"
She's got big body, breast in my face when she grip on me
Thick on me, jugg money, I got the lick on me
You're not popping, never popped nuttin', my nigga, stop bluffing
F your opinion, always destined for brilliance
Wouldn't rest in a million, hitters dressed as civilians
All them masked up, looking creepy
Park up, jump out, spark off, jump in, Skr out like it's too easy
If anybody ask, you didn't see me

Doing styles on them like it's common sense
Hopped out the Benz like it's common sense
Got a monkey on my feet like it's common sense
Got gorillas in the streets like it's common sense
Stack the money, heads up, like it's second nature
Gotta stay poled up, like it's second nature
Keep a chip in my ear, like it's second nature
Big bunda make me stare, like second nature

This week's featured artist is J Hus.

We caught up with him to find out a little bit more about his music.

Check it out...

1) For those who don’t know about you and your music, tell us a little bit about who you are and where you’re from…

I grew up in Stratford and my music isn’t defined by a genre - I’m creating my own. It is inspired by Grime, US Rap, UK Rap, Afrobeat and Dancehall though.

2) Describe your sound in three words...

Catchy, different, trend starting.

3) Who inspired you to start a career in music?

My manager (Moe) saw me perform and really pushed me to take it further.

4) Who are your biggest musical influences?

I used to listen to a lot of 50 Cent, Michael Jackson and Skepta growing up.

5) Tell us about the writing and recording process for your new single/album…

I usually record my ideas and take em into studio with Jae5 and then they create a beat around it. I collaborate with Jae5 a lot on my music.

6) What can we expect from your live shows?

A lot of energy, though I’m trying to add more structure into my upcoming shows.

7) What has been your biggest career highlight so far?

When I performed at Rip the Runway the crowd was insane. Was the moment I knew I wanted to make it further.

8) Have you met anyone and been totally starstruck?

I remember coming out of my block of flats and seeing Konan (from Krept & Konan) chilling in Benz and getting to meet him for the first time.

9) What’s on your iPod/playlists that people wouldn’t expect?

The Weeknd, Beyonce, Rihanna.

10) When can we see you live?

Dates published here and check out my debut album Common Sense here.
