Dizzee Rascal - Showtime (2005) by Dizzee Rascal (보컬) on maniadb.com

This journey starts 6 years ago
in run-down housin estate in Bow
east london south-east uk was a young man lets call this young man ray
frustated wiv bein around the way
would say "i'm bored" until one day
gathered up sum change and in exchange got turntables off tony
not only, were they whack, they were wooden, but he took 'em
cos it was a bargain and it was a good'en
and he said to himself who wouldn't?
why not, then he took a little trot to dj targets squat
stood outside o'the door and knocked
asked what jungle records you got?
must be sumthin u wanna get shot, of, blot
dint buy beats he ready to quit gave 'im the whole lot
then ray had little click, they were hot, young gun soldiers but it all flopped,
still it didnt make ray wanna give up the fight
ray jus picked up the mic, would write, lyrics while excluded
no gifts and glamour included
like crime for money, dough, crime pays didnt ya know?
even though ray come across slow
broke shit down, brung another new flow
made beats in the back room
teacher gave him a little spare time
then they got a little bit o'radio airtime
1am til 3 be in school by 9
this was clearly a positive sign
learnin bout beats breaks and bars
didnt chat about champagne and cars
more concerned wiv you know, the grime
made it a touch difficult to shine
among these so-called underground stars
some resented him thus presentin him with pure dumbness like retards
it dint matter ray would say, ok, i'm gonna be a real star one day
went through dramas along the way
but he stood firm pressed on wiv the wordplay
went through dramas along the way
but he stoof firm pressed on wiv the wordplay
went through dramas along the way
lets take a look at ray today....

I ain't on a high ting (Nah!!)
Jus out here tryin' to do da right thing
And even though you know I don't mind fightin'
all I want is cash,money like lightning

You know I.... Gota get that dough!
I ain't rampin'
Gotta get that dough!
Damm right
Gota get that dough!
I ain't rampin'
Gota get that dough!
Straight up! (uha)

taste, charisma stylee we got plenty
Cruisin' in the Punto on the way to Bentley
Evidently far from gently eatin' up da road
We act immaturely in a hurry to be old
Infact we'll leave you poorly catch a beatin' like a cold
Go ahead profile and flex like you're big, bad and bold
Go ahead go round your next to get hit, had and showed
Stay out the paper chase
Floppy fella's fold
Neglect da rules, expect da codes, follow the guide lines
Life's been ugly so far but these are fine times
I write below the belt above average fine rhymes
I always tried to be a star my city saw the signs
I try not to be stupid with my fame
But constantly I sense fassies bein' clever wiv my name
Indirectly call my name like they're callin' my bluff
So sadly I often sense the need to get rough.

I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, I'm all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, It's all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, I'm all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, so move over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!

Fulla strife, that's life
Deal wiv how bad it is
Reminisce, reflect, revise on how bad it coulda been
Abuse time and find out how mad it is
Time waits for nobody handle your biz
Extortionists would love to man-handle this
I'm ignorant, refuse to understand what extortion is
Jack me and get what? Jack me and get where?
Get zilch times zero, times nofin' plus air!
Yea I'm way beyond care
Hate me or love me try not to stare
Your thoughts and your opinions try not to share
I show interest on an occasion that is rare
Plus I ain't in the hype, I'm above it and I cause it
Can't put a stop to da track but I can pause it
So play your role
Act tuff put on your show
I'll let da ratchet be your audience
Bullets will applaud it!!!

I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, I'm all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, It's all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, I'm all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, so move over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!

My name is Dizzee Dizz
I handle my biz
My spreaders talkin' gangsta don't know what a gangsta is
(Tut) They ain't ready yet, I don't claim a set
But if you test I'll leave you wiv something you will regret
I'm five ten slim, chocolate skin
I'll punch you in your nostrils, I'll punch you in your chin
But I ain't mad I'm a lovely lad
I'll give you the loveliest beatin' that you've ever had
Rude boy, home boy better chill
You know I don't watch no face cause I'm real
I don't care if your sick I don't care if your I'll
My foot will add a nice frill to your ice-grill!
Son dun-duddy I don't find shit funny
If you ever try and go against the flow of my money
Word is bun, what's really good I'm really hood
Take this song as a caution you really should

I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, I'm all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere
I can't be seen, It's all over
Ya nah wat I mean!?!
I'm here, there, I'm everywhere

[DIZZEE TALKING]
So what you thinkin' 'bout London city now aye,
What'cha think you know ?
Big Ben tells the time

[BACKGROUND]
East London, ghetto, west London, ghetto, north London ghetto, south London
East London, ghetto, west London, ghetto, north London ghetto, south London

[VERSE 1]
I'm the London hustler, a golden grind, grind.
Young hustlers we graft all the time,
Dawn or dark, non stop UK walk.
Yo as a hustler in the city before I came to stack
Kord knows I got the devil on ma back
It's a cold world, gotta stay on track
Dog eat dog, others gain if you lack
In the LDN, where I learn to attract
Calm that, I can show you where it's at
First things first, get a block 'n' a flat
Next up, get a black hoodie and a hat
Living in the big brother's camera view
Giving my axe to the boys in blue
Straight 5 years, getting caught, that's you
Sitting in a cell, still wondering who couldn't keep quiet
Now you're on a diet
Mash potato, cauliflower and stew
Pissed off with not a lot to do
And the word on the street don't ever seem new
And resisting arrest don't even seem true
Endless hype, who do you believe?
And will it ever relieve the loneliness at night
Let's see if you remain convinced on
And will it ever relieve the loneliness, let's see
If you remain convinced, you might know full well
The streets are like a few more marks, a couple more ranges
Other than that, not a lot ever changes

[CHORUS]
Sky looks grey in London city
We stay graftin', 'cos we're gritty
Hustle hustle constantly, hustle hustle hustle constantly,
Sky looks grey in London city
We stay graftin', 'cos we're gritty
Hustle hustle constantly, hustle hustle hustle constantly,

[VERSE 2]
I used to roll money up against the wall
Didn’t ever wanna play hopscotch, well I'm clinical
Parking life cos I'm dark in the white man's crotch
And I've been doing this since Tamagotchigi
Show anybody in my face, invadin' my space,
I'll bring it on star, bring it on star, WATCH!
I'll end your hours on the clock, I'll end your days
You'll think I'm crazed when I give you the midnight rock
End of sentence...full stop.
Now what you gonna say about that,
I'll put all your plans on lock
Make you put all your mans on the spot
I'm totally everything that you're not
I'm totally mad, you’ve lost the plot
To even consider getting me got,
Carried off to a hospital block in shoc
On the table, ready to operate, never mate,
I dictate and relegate, who's heavyweight
I'm king of the ring, make moves in any state
LDN we do our thing

[CHORUS]
Sky looks grey in London city
We stay graftin', 'cos we're gritty
Hustle hustle constantly, hustle hustle hustle constantly,
Sky looks grey in London city
We stay graftin', 'cos we're gritty
Hustle hustle constantly, hustle hustle hustle constantly,

Damn right, yeah
Young hustlers, London city stand up
I'm a show you, its gritty out ere
Yeah man serious...
I swear to you, it ain't all teacups (nah man)
Up in Buckingham Palace (nah man)
I'm a show you how gritty it is out here (yeah man)
Serious
You gonna know
You gonna understand
It's Dizzee Rascal solo
I'm ere, what
Ghetto UK stand up
Dizzee Rascal gi' us a bell!
I swear to you...

Like, who the fuck are you?
Yeah, who the fuck are you?
Is it recordin', yeah?

I come direct when I inject
And I'm expecting your respect
I'm a baller you've been chucked,
I'm the kind of kid you can't protect ya know
Out 'n' about I put my elbow in your mouf
You're a fassy there's no doubt
I bet my sword will make you shout
I'm intense you best see sense,
I'll have you hangin' from a fence
Then I'll laugh at your expense
And maybe chuck you 50 pence
Snitch you make me switch you sound
And look just like a bitch
Whether you're poor or whether you're rich
I'll leave you lyin' in the ditch
Cause I'm from ragged raggo rags
You wear raggo rags like me
I'm ahead boy, I ain't in tune
Rappin raggo rapidly
We easily be the worst
Bust academics first
Batty crew m.c's get academicly reversed
I'm academicly perverse
Academicly perverted
Batty crew mc's get academicly diverted
Some return
We clearly get burnt
Get hurt,
Until they realise they should academicly have flirted

You don't want the beef you don't want the grime
You ain't got the guts I ain't got the time
But you can come to the man and get jacked
Come to the man 'n' get pill
Come to the man 'n' get shot
Come to the man 'n' get killed
We call it armsouse, armsouse, go 'n' get your crew
If you can't back that armsouse, who the fuck are you?
We call it armsouse, armsouse, go 'n' get your firm
If they don't wanna listen, then we better make em learn

Raised in the gutter I was told I should fight
I create and cause confusion from the left to the right
I'm sweet as a nut, i'm doin alright, cosy 'n' comfortable
Still I try n avoid the sergeant, PC and the constable
Raised in the gutter I was told I should bop
I create and cause confusion from the bottom to the top
I doin' ok, I will honestly say
This year I'm flyin' through
I could easily find myself in jail but I ain't tryin to
I keep it clear in front, relax wid the pressure,
I'm dirty, and I'm stank but ain't nobody fresher
My haters make enquiries, make it obvious they care
When it comes to my location they would love to be aware
But I could be in the manor, could be overseas,
Could well be definitely making peace
Could be live at Wembley warmin' up for Jay-Z
Still I'm definitely certain that you can't see me

You don't want the beef, you don't want the grime
You ain't got the guts, I ain't got the time
But you can come to the man and get jacked
Come to the man 'n' get pill
Come to the man 'n' get shot
Come to the man 'n' get killed
We call it armsouse, armsouse, go 'n' get your crew
If you can't back that armsouse, who the fuck are you?
We call it armsouse, armsouse, go 'n' get your firm
If they don't wanna listen, then you better make em learn

Hype talk
Inside outside
Ra ra ra
Too many man talk nuff' bla bla
Talk like Dizzee aint got a tempa'
Hit em' wit da force like sky walker
Inside outside
Ra ra ra
Too many man talk nuff' bla bla
Talk like Dizzee aint got a tempa'

Yo! Look!

Dillan's on a hype now
I see you doin' quite alright
I see your video da other night
How did he get a record deal
Chattin' like he's super-real
I see you roam around market
On Saturday there you go
Better Dillan days standin' in da park
What's da word on da street
Did he really slap her?!?
Is true Wiley skipped da country left him?!?
Did he punch Mega in da face for tryin' to test him?!?
I know he won a mercury award and brought it back to da estate
I know some broad's in da manner hate and frequently debate
Da way he makes moves
How's he steppin' is he reppin'
Cause dey know he goes to Hackney
And dey wonder what he's getting'
Plus I know he had dat Wall St. gat
Da other day I see him leavin' Natalie's flat
He used to work dat south girl
Da mouthy one
What's his name's cousin
Still I know a couple girls are on it
I could name a dozen
But he aint no player
He be getting' all da gash
Cause now dey know he's got a little
Cash and a stash
Dat will keep him looking' pretty for da future in a flash
But little do dey know he's only looking' for da lash
Cause Dillan's on a hype now!
Got his face on his tee-shirt name on his trainers da edieah!!!
He got a new era cap wit his logo
My bredrin's saw him tryin' on tracksuits in soho
I'm buyin' jackets from Benenni in LA
I heard he went to broadway
Limo drive him through Queens
Is he livin' out his dream is he ballin' be truthful
Cause he aint sittin' on da wall like he used to
He was on a far tip at one point
He used to peel on Volvo to take da flows to Bethal Green
Next thing I hear him on da pirate radio scene
He used to do deja writ an evil flavour
Bought records off target and mix an a-Dub
Then worked his way to A list
It's funny cause da older's used to dismiss
Dey never for a second anticipated this
Not guts no glory
Dillan took a risk took da piss now
Fella's wanna act nigga
If I reminisce on days when Dillan weren't all so crystal
Dey know Dillan put da game on a twist and
Dillan's on a hype now!!!
Worldwide interviews and business trips
Invitations to premiers and new flicks
And all da chicks got his name on their lips
But couple gunman kinda got him on da brain
And also da couples wanna put him on frame
Dey're constantly watchin' so he better maintain
But he's getting' major money so he can't complain!


Inside outside
Ra ra ra
Too many man talk nuff' bla bla
Talk like Dizzee aint got a tempa'
Hit em' wit da force like sky walker
Inside outside
Ra ra ra
Too many man talk nuff' bla bla
Talk like Dizzee aint got a tempa'
Hit em' wit da force like sky walker

Let's talk about over excited boys on the road,
Said he knows Slimzee, Maxwell, God's Gift,
Said he knows Plake, said he knows Ace.
Couldn't get a real name for themselves,
Living off reflected glory, living off face,
Who break all street on every area code,
Claims he's tight wiv mega man,
Cool with Romeo, cousin of Kaish,
Said he knows Neeko, Breder, Hype
Said he had lunch at Lethal's place,
As he looks for the face,
I look for a way to move him clearly outta my face,
Backstage with the N.A.S.T.Y crew
Where I asked him to get out of my FACE,
Then I get a live late night phone call
And I leave him there,
Hopes for the face receiving air,
Pissed 'cause its gone past business hours on the clock this,
So they could look good and tell tales,
It's all jiggy and we look like pals,
20 missed calls is total, plus 8 voicemails, 'bout 14 messages
People cant take hints and messages, and the message is leave me alone.
Number don't look local, this is why I don't answer the phone,
U look like a real top boi when the gurls look
Big bold capitals, front page
People got a problem, act like I used to make dub-plates for them,
And I can be the next big star in your phone book

You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you

You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you
You people respect me, if it kills you

Do it how they didn't wanna do it
Now they wanna try and do it but I'm tellin them no
I'm in a predicament with imitators
Wanna take my style and have a bit of my flow
All this copy cattin' on my lyrics that there chattin'
Betta stop before the gunshot's blow
Do you really want it coz I really wanna give it
If you do just let me know
And I show arrogance and elegance
But no tolerance for nonsense
I bring violence, I'm a nuisance
Killer MC leave no evidence
I've got brains and intelligence
But no conscience, no innocence
We roll in the darkened silence
Represent us in any residence
And I swing for your chin with no hesitense
I'm a captain, ya betta bring your regiments
And you're a failure, don't have no relevence
I'm a champion, winner and a victor prick ya
So not ready so 'til ya see ya soul
Headed for the golden gates
No really, you monkeys are playin' with apes
Not guerilla warfare it's the coppers I carry this stick for
Plus I've had enough of these
Lil cheap comments from fake MCs
Bad minders and skat ladies
Talkin' about how it used to be
Well it's a brand new day
So leave me be
I don't need you so don't need me
Your opinion don't interest me
Don't like me, that's fine by me
Coz from Holly Street ta Hollywood, it's all good
From New York ta York Hall, it's all cool
You're a fool if ya think I'm gonna cease
Now honestly could there really be peace
It don't seem that way to tough
Stop with the games I play too rough
Must be smokin' too much puff
Divert or be deceased
UK rapper stabbed in Napa
'cause of gossip, 'cause of chatter
He's still breathin', he's still a dapper
Retaliate with gun clapper
Truthfully, I can't see very well
Don't flatter yourself, you're any girl
Them boys shoulda sent me ta hell
Now prepare for the beast

You people gonna respect me
Better make you respect me
You people gonna respect me
Better make you respect me
You people gonna respect me
Better make you respect me
You people gonna respect me
Better make you respect me

You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
You people are gonna respect me if it kills you
(alright verse two I swear)

'Ey yo endless speculation I'm facin'
Constant controversial relations
To gun crime at garage events
With so many claims and no evidence
Suggesting I'm the reason
For the UK gun clap season
I'm legal, may I stress
To the fool for the sake of
Strident intelligence
Go ahead check my files all day
Bit of criminal damage and T-D-A
Might be a little bit of violent disorder
But I ain't never been locked away
Got some mates that have been convicted
Yer, so what, it's the hand life dealt them
We weren't blessed with the system's T-L-C
Government shoulda tried ta help them
Been a law breaker, ain't tryna hide it
As for the sentence, ain't tryna ride it
Stop that so I could do this
I'm legit, ya may as well kiss my
A-S-S P-L-E-A-S-E I'm L-E-G-I-T
You ain't got nothin' on me
But to the pricks who think I'm slack-in
Please don't ever be fooled, I'm pack-in
This is a welcome and it's a warning
Please don't ever just think I'm rappin'
You know the score, I'm raw from day
Still Dylan the Villain from around the way
Feel free to quote anything I say
Please don't ever just think I'm chattin'

People gonna respect me
I better make you respect me
People gonna respect me
I better make you respect me
People gonna respect me
I better make you respect me
People gonna respect me
I better make you respect me

You people gonna respect me if it kills you
You people gonna respect me if it kills you
You people gonna respect me if it kills you

I know what you're thinkin', it's gone too far now innit
Fuck it
If I don't speak, who's gonna speak for me
Stand up for myself in this shit
So fuck you
Unapologetic
Can't be, never have been, won't be a prick
Yer, that's it

[Intro: Dizzee Rascal]
To each n every kind,
(London ghetto, Birmingham ghetto)
Every ghetto frame of mind,
(Manchester ghetto, Newton ghetto)
To each 'n' every kind,
(Leeds ghetto, Liverpool ghetto)
Every ghetto frame of mind,
(UK ghetto, East London ghetto)
To each of every kind,
(North London ghetto, West London ghetto,)
Wiv a ghetto frame of mind,
(South London ghetto)
To each 'n' every kind,
It's rasket, wiv a ghetto frame of mind,
Look yo

[Verse One: Dizzee Rascal]
We grew up in da ghetto, where summertime's short
Straight action, you don't stop for a thought
Most use crime as a way to pay the bills
The unlucky ones end up gettin' caught
We grew up in da ghetto, where the goin' gets rough
Money's been around, but it's never been enough
Most ain't given no choice but to hustle
Some break down when the going gets tough
Deep in da manna, there's all kinds of different people
Minorities still struggle to be equal
So many characters, four main types
The good, the bad, the ugly, 'n' the evil
Deep in da manna, where da poverty's visible
There's not a lot sweet, so most look miserable
Most cave in to the devil, took the wrong path
Some kept their faith, 'n' still pray for a miracle
Soccer stars emerge from da curb
Up 'n' comin' MCs struggle to be heard
Boy dem, dey searchin' for da next jailbird
Fuck, talk, murder 'n' they live by their word

Shotters keep da money goin' round
Kids go astray, most never get found
I've noticed there's a ghetto in every town
'N' the skies are empty, because da stars are on da ground

[Chorus: Vanya]
Sometimes I'm lost, look up at the sky
Sometimes I feel to cry, but somehow I still get by
Sometimes I'm lost, askin' myself why
Sometimes I feel to cry, but somehow I still get by

[Verse Two: Dizzee Rascal]
We grew up in the ghetto, saw real life pain
Real life struggle, wiv real life strain
Real life kiddies, wiv real life guns
'N' real life mothers lose real life sons
Gang wars erupting on the dance floor Seasons,
Beef after beef, jus' to be da top geezers,
Big arm slash, hit da Stratford bricks
Ghetto high brudas, gotta maintain reps
What's that all about, I ask my self before I swing
More time, I'm beefin' over any little thing
Beef in any area, region or vicinity
My ghetto frame of mind makes me prone to hostility
To many brethrens locked up, too many young baby mothers
Each 'n' every crew n colour, ghetto sisters and brothers
If you know your from da slums, keep reppin' no doubt
Stay ghetto if you must, just remember to get out

[Chorus: Vanya]
Sometimes I'm lost, look up at the sky
Sometimes I feel to cry, but somehow I still get by
Sometimes I'm lost, askin' myself why
Sometimes I feel to cry, but somehow I still get by
Sometimes I feel to cry, look up at the sky, get by

Knock, knock, who's there?
Dizzee
Dizzee who?
Ras, Anarchic-arse, killer MC force
Knock, knock, who's there?
Bad
Bad who?
Boy, I'm here to annoy, take away your joy
Knock, knock, who's there?
Jack
Jack who?
You
You're not wiv your crew, what you gonna do?
Knock, knock, who's there?
Big
Big who?
Gun, point me to the sun, watch your fassy run

Yo, I'm Dizzee Ras, nightmare from the big e-a-s-t
I'm exactly what your parents don't wanna see on your TV
I'm nasty, precisely, intimidate anyone that I choose
Refuse to lose, express unlimited controversial views
Your average boy or girl on the street might be familiar with my beat
And/or familiar with my sound,
I'm formerly from the underground
And its clear, for a year
I've been turnin' up the heat
Made you get up an' outta your seat
Shake your fists and shuffle your feet

Let's make another thing clear
They didn't burn me up enough, I'm still here
So what was the purpose of your little charade?
Your little charade was whack
Just about hurt meh,
You shoulda marked me up on a rampage now I'm back
5 stab wounds, couple scratchin', bruisin' and some (chains?)
4 half-hearted fassies, 4 borers, no brains
Did it, two weeks before my album helped me sell double
But let's not dwell on that, it's the least of your trouble

Knock, knock, who's there?
Dizzee
Dizzee who?
Ras, Anarchic-arse, killer MC force
Knock, knock, who's there?

Boy, I'm here to annoy, take away your joy
Knock, knock, who's there?

You
You're not wiv your crew, what you gonna do?
Knock, knock, who's there?
Big
Big who?
Gun, point me to the sun, watch your fassy run

Hey y'all considerin', the part I play, the position i'm in
You wouldn't be expectin' me to say
I prefer the day to nights when I gotta turn up and play-up
Rip-off dusty sweaty cluttered raves
Where the audience all screw-face and the promoters don't wanna pay
And half o'the boys in the crowd wanna blast me
And half o'the girls wanna show how little they care 'bout standin right there
At the front tryin' a look right past me
It gets depressin', thinkin' bout it even more
Knowin' that i'm gonna face the usual hassle at the door
Because as well as lippy hacks I hate cocky bouncers
I ain't ere to rave i'm ere to get paid, look
You search me up rough like I'm any common crook
y name's on the flyer man, forget the guest book
Abusin' your authority, you look like a fool
You faulty standard underdog, you know you're old skool
I ain't wearin' a shirt and shoes, so you don't think I look right
But its cushty mate, I'm gettin paid more than you tonight

Knock, knock, who's there?

How am I gonna pull this off man with out soundin' dark?

This, this is too sensibly for me man

How you gonna have a dream come true?

I use to dream 'bout crazy little things like fame, in the days hangin' outside the off-license.
We use to run around the streets reckless with no shame, mainly up too no good
A whole world a nonsense and when the girls walk by, we would try to catch their eye
And if they ain't a show face, we would act immature ova people
Tryed to tap me girl since I was a kid, a couple west girls on my radar, I was raw
And I was dead sure that I knew it all, whole world against me
Attitude I nearly blew it all, I find it a real big struggle, gettin' thru it all
I swear I didn't wanna listen cuz I sure didn't care,
Not know if a reality I'd have to prepare, cuz money don't grow on no stick when it's rare
Me own bro was lukin' less than less the lick, plus I was growin' up, life was lukin like a scare

How you gonna have a dream come true?

I use to love music.
It was like my hidden hobbie, but I couldn't get on local radio back then,
So I went to north London, I travelled to Tottenham to be precise
And got some air time on Heat FM, then it escalated.
I was gettin' ratings here and there and carried on until eventually I was everywhere
I started doin all the hot spots; Ministry, Ceaser's Palace, P Area
Tannin MCs, I did the grim and the glamour, I did the port and the plush,
I didn't hang around, I wanted my money in a rush,
Mind frame in the studio, dis stage no time to chat I didn't wanna engage
I found my self a new hussel, it was beautiful and non like the one before a bit more suitable,
The more challenging it got the more I fought it
Made an album, over a 100,000 people bought it, thank you.

Talk 'bout things you like, to, do

How you gonna have a dream come true?

To all the youngers cotching in the stairs in the flats
To the super star soccerlings, Beckham in the makings, you can go far
If you put your mind to it, you're a star
Don't wait to be told, just do it,
Try and keep school in your plans, don't worry bout ur mans
They'll be there in the end if you're real
If they ain't, don't be makin' no effort to impress
You're fine the way you are, just do what you feel
Young baby mothers, yo I got your back as well,
Young baby fathers ,hold it down for your girl,
I ain't tryin' to preach but for what it's worth (what it's worth)
That kid's the next generation, planet Earth,
Big shout to the world cuz I been all around (all around)
When I'm gone, I'm always thinkin' 'bout my home town,
I'm from the LDN, no forgettin' that, and the big uk I stay reppin' that!

How you gonna have a dream come true?

Hey you love that, tell me you don't love that

Yo I dunno, Marga Man, wit tha rasket, Dizzee Rascal
Walking through the club doors, make way, make space
Make some more yo 'n' gettin' all the girls
Think der set, they don't know, they stink of sweat
It's Marga Man, Dizzee Rascal

As I get past the bouncers, walk to the dancefloor,
Onto the stage, am blastin',
I've been blessed tonight on the sight
With all these beautiful beenies dancing
Am normally placed in front of a crowd
Who push up their face and stare and just stand,
But thank god tonight, it's a totally different affair

I'm so excited and delighted,
Almost feel to take ma hat off to these beenies
Who excite me by the way they shake their back off
It's amazing the way you lower urself and rise again,,
It's amazing, I feel the type to pick up the mike and rise again

Imagine if I showed you one day I was leavin da hood,
Would you call me a sell out, would you say it's all good?
Would you follow if you could?
Or would you jus' tell me get da hell out?

And imagine if I showed you that I'd found another way
Of gettin' dough with out doin' dirt, let's blurt
Would you love me for givin' you some hope?
Or resent me 'cause your pride got hurt?

Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate
And was country manor raised, with a spoon in our mouth
Would we still be makin' fuss about da east an' da south?
Would we shiver at da robberies, murder an' da crack?
And thank God that we didn't have to live like that
Jus' an image on da TV as were comfortably sat sippin' wine
Room lit by da summer sunshine,
Not a worry in da world as we cash while we chat
Oblivious to how we would be livin' on da flipside
No experience, not a clude about a rough ride
No harrassment, no boy dem on our back side
That'd be amazin' still!

But I know you wonder would it make you any less real?
What's da current spot your standin' in offerin'?
If you had a better offer, would you go for da kill?
Snap out of your daydream, how do you feel?

Does it all seem worthwhile for ya?
Try an' put it in perspective
Retrospective of your profile and your honour,
Do you wanna hang about or are you a goner?

Come along, think fast, decision time
You've been livin' in da grime, don't you wanna climb?
Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment
Or are you looking for da hype an' excitement
'Cause there's so much drama in da LDN
It's kinda hard tryin' to find legal money to spend
Generation genocide look possible
Da rate at which we drew up for da sken
An' pretend that we don't know who da real enemy is,
Who should we hold responsible, instead we offend
A couple square metres of pavement in da endz,
What would we achieve, my friends?

Yeah, oi
What up man, what are ya this week?
He thinks he's rough, and he's always got a screw-face
He's stush and he thinks he's heavy
I've heard, I've heard it all man
That's the same thing, that's the same shit
I can't believe it
I'm just being me
I work... I'm not doing cos I got the money or cos I'm famous
This is what I was, you get me? (You know my face, I've been everywhere I swear to you)

You can say I'm too rude, you can say I think I'm heavy
You can say I think I'm all that, I've heard it all already
You can say I think I'm rough, you can say you can't wait
'Till the day you meet me face to face and swear to set me straight
You can say I sound whack, you can say I'm overrated
You can slag me off to every female I've ever dated
You can say I'm kinda meek, you can say I'm just a prick
Just say you what you want and what you will but say it quick

[CHORUS]
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there, yeh?

You can I'm arrogant, you should probably say I'm vain
You can say my head swole since I see a little fame
You can say I left the hood, my success was a mistake
You can say I'm under pressure, you can say I'm bound to break
You can never say I'm fake, cos I always keep it real
You can say "so wot?" I can say "so chill"
You can say I'm too cheeky, you can say I make you sick
Just say what you want and what you will but say it quick

[CHORUS]
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there, yeh?

Fellas acting bitchy lately quite unsurprisingly
They would love to cut my face but they just cock their eyes at me
Like little ladies would you wish you could express yourself with violence
Silence is your best option, best keep your feelings stealth
And they're wondering if I'm gonna laugh, I'm saying don't worry
I weren't invited here, I ain't leavin in a hurry
So any preconceptions that you've got of me, forget them
Please don't let 'em, confuse you -- I'm gully
And rude, and blatant, no time, in a hurry, impatient
Don't make no more inquiries, fuck you is my only statement
The only answer I'm about to give you:
Fuck you and whoever came with you
Fuck them and anybody related, fuck about, get me frustrated
Cos I ain't the type to hype and rare
Hope I scare em, make 'em fear me
I'm pretty certain you're not near me
There's no need for that
I'm taking time, away from the pen and pad and grime serious grime
Leave the microphone alone, strap and spray some verses with the 9

[CHORUS]
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there
Cos I'm flyin, I ain't got time
You must be makin' moves, why you watchin' mine?
You got so much to say about my grime
You must be up there, I see you up there, yeh?

Rascit... won't change for no one, ever
I'm me, I've been me
Dapper, rapper, jacker, whateva'
I don't play, swear to you

Deep -- Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...
Deep -- Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...
Deep-de-deep Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...

Lord knows what I'll find when I re-re-rewind

Deep-- Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...
Deep-de-deep Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...
'Cause I deep-- Roll Deep through the depths of my mind...

Lord knows what I'll find when I reach

'Cause I've got so much to say.. in so little time..
In such a short space, I've got so much to do..
But if I can't find a way around, I'll find a way across
And if I can't find a way across, I'll bore straight through..
I find myself in a pickle.. this music ain't fickle..
Surrounded by big dawgs and I consider them lickle..
As they crash the particle.. the other giants..
I might apply some knowledge and wait for a ripple..
On my shoulder is a ripple
Some love it.. some hate the idea of (no idea)
Squeeze a dollar from a nickle..
