F
Bb
He was
Verse 1
F
lying there thinking,
kinda restricted
Searching for a subject,
something gripped him
Bb
Tipped him over the scale, he prevailed
Sing it with a gimmick
F
and you get out of jail
Bbm
A
But he weren't behind bars,
F
he was playing
Monopoly
Instead of sitting down and writing
music properly
A
F
A
Sloppily he sat there, chewing his pencil
F
Bb
A lack of stimulus,
F
Bb
it was driving him men tal
A
C
His ideas were thin, creativity slim
F
He needed a meal like that
Bbm
bird down the gym
Bb
F
Food is for four, so he thought for a min
Bb
A light bulb flashed
F
and he shot up with a grin
An epiphany right there,
changed the rules quick
Bb
Why not write a track?
F
Bb
That's commercial bullshit
Why not write a track for
A
the mainstream?
Same thing, lame thing,
Bb
stuck in their daydream
F
With my lyrical toolkit,
I've written this bullshit
Bb
Stickin' to the rules of commercial music
I won't confuse it with urban music
F
Cause I'm never gonna get that far

All
F
American rappers are cruel
Bb
C
Cause they all got more money than you
A
It's it's true
Bb
You ain't gonna match
him whatever you do
F
A
Why the funny face to my crazy antics?
F
I'm a nice change to the pop romantics
Bb
A
Something fresh to the new
F
school rap semantics
Bb
F
I'm bling bling transatlantics
Copying the yanks,
Bb
this should never have started
Now everybody's singing
F
about the broken hearted
Bb
The dearly departed and the
F
weapons they've harboured
Bb
They think we really care about the
F
places they've partied
Who can be the best cat
Bb
at licking her arsehole?
F
Bb
They all stark in the game
of pass the parcel
The parcels music, if one's to lose it
There'll be another arsehole
there to abuse it
Born in
London, I suppose I'm urban I find all
Bbm
the trappings of the scene disturbing
F
Bb
I don't want a life with cars
F
and big tits
Bb
Cos I'm happy with a cuppa
F
and some biscuits

American rappers are cool

A
It's true
Bbm
And no one can hide from the truth
Bb
F
So there's a rap epidemic,
the best end to retirement
Bb
I'm shaken by this madness,
F
epileptic assignment
A
Bb
Confined, my mind tries to align
to bring a stop to the benign
F
Bb
That's a basic requirement,
a stable childhood with a passion for poetry
F
Listen to the crap that
Bb
the industries throw at me
Try to be intelligent but
nobody's stirred
F
Bb
F
Commercially viable if I wanna be heard
Bb
Oi,

Where my birds with
Bacardi breezers at?
Ok, that's my cheap shot
A

F
Bb
But I ain't even been to prison
F
It won't work,
A
F

But just right now you ain't feeling this
