Mayday's the name and I stand by it
Double 4 the area and I came from it
Don't watch them though that's a alias back when I was in Dubai with the Arabians
Mayday's the name and I stand by it
Double 4 the area and I came from it

[Verse 1]
Merhaba, Wagwarn
Let me tell you about Mayday before I ever said ring the alarm
Let me tell you about Mayday before I ever put pen to the page
Let me tell you about myself and how I got given my name
It was back in '09 when I first learnt I could spit but I didn't start doing anything until the start of my uni stint so the rest is a myth
I wonder how many lectures that I've skipped to pursue this
With the stress of writing a dissertation and sending 16s at the pagans but
I skipped some steps, so lets rewind, to an easier time, when life was fine and I loved Grime from before the hype
When it was music I related to
When I saw H's soul get taken to and I wrote my first lyric, needed a name to go with it
We were jamming to Invasion Alert he said let's change it I said to what
He replied with Mayday Alert it stuck
From there on fam I was named, name was claimed, started to enter the game become a student to the game of writing bars and so
I again gained meaning found new feeling realised I had to break through the ceiling
Cus nothing and noone could stop me like getting gold stars in Mario 3
Influence people like Dale Carnegie
Not on purpose though I'm on my own ting cus
I'm tryna eat with my people like Saudi Arabias' King

[Verse 2]
Merhaba, Wagwarn
Let me tell you about Mayday before I ever created OI NA
Let me tell you about Mayday before I ever went out to the mountain
Let me tell you about myself and how I learnt to watch my own back
Never been taught out here so I'm doing trial and error
Once I embraced Mayday I fought through the mist and saw things better
I've been biding time analysing and breaking it down like enzymes
When I attack no army can strike back like Nas in halftime
Plotting, I'm plotting, still plotting and plotting
I'm out here to make my city proud, coming like a king just without a crown
On my Yung Lean steeze but still Mayo to the G's
Still Ricicles to my fam still that kid from KS sides but
