Lyrics and translation
Original
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
I wasn't asked where the who, what, where's.
To go far, then it's who must dare. Nobody cares till everybody does, but I gotta thank God that you lot cared.
They say a man's only good as his tools. To rise up, gotta use what's there.
You know ma didn't raise no fool. I been to dance, but I do what's fair.
This game full of so much fuckery. See the OGs, none of them bust me.
On the way, but they won't discuss me. Feel a way, I'ma make this costly.
Nowadays, I'ma break this properly. Never fazed by the haters, trust me. Run away, but it's pain it's cost me.
Feel a way, I'ma make this lovely. I was paving the way, that's right.
I was saving the day, that's light. I was saved by the grace, I was slaving away.
Now I'm able to say that's life. So I labor the way, that's right.
I was changing the game, that's why.
Never wait for delays, that's the aim of the game, so I savor the day, that's wise. Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
I'm living like there ain't no limits. The more I show up, the more I kill it.
Ghana boy, spend time in the village. I'm the realest of the realest of the realest.
The boy's cold, man, I'm way too mean. I wear the rust, I was way too clean.
Think you're better than me, scheme. I'm in the dance with dark-skinned Janine.
I had a dream, but I never knew Martin. It's plantain, not plantain.
Couple years, I'll be charting. Stitch braids and a parting. We can go clash, who's asking?
No stops, just starting. Clear by a margin. The way I move is alarming. You see my face?
Nobody's laughing. I've been a boy since way back, darling.
It's me that they can't get a hold on. Shut down dance and it's back to the old one.
Oh one, oh one two one. If you don't like it, do one. Stone's gotta move on.
You got blessed with a true one. I know maths, but I never wear Kumon.
I might blow and I won't take too long. You know Stone's got a new one, new one.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
Council housing, Fester browsing. Never shop food, no canapé. I was out late down
Faraday. All a man knew was juice and Alizé.
As a kid, didn't care 'bout politics. I didn't know about who's George Galloway.
One of my neighbors had a pit bull terrier till it just upped and ran away.
Little sis was scared of the dog, so we did celebrate when the bitch got lost. Had a wish, but the wish got crossed.
It's a lot, it's a lot until you get shot. That was it when a kid got knocked.
There's a will, there's a way, so I say "Let's rock.
" Never chill with a still-less not. Represent for the real, let me build this plot.
In the field, gotta feel what's what. 'Cause I build what I build and I will disrupt.
Guess what?
I was in it for the bills and I will get bought. I was out late by the chip shop.
Strawberry lace drumstick and a Tip Top. You could get shaved for your wristwatch.
No one ain't safe by the face of the big Glock.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
Who's that boy with the mad man flows? The gardener, the gardener.
Plant seeds then we watch them grow. It's the gardener, the gardener.
I plant my seeds and got my trees. The rain was all I need.
I plant my seeds and got my trees. The rain was all I need. I plant my seeds and got my trees.
The rain was all I need. I plant my seeds and got my trees, trees, trees.
You can't take nothing from me.
I just wanna plant my seeds and tryna stay believing. Ready for my season.
I know I was here for a reason.
