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

B
All
G
American rappers are cruel
C
D
Cause they all got more money than you
B
It's it's true
C
You ain't gonna match
him whatever you do
G
B
Why the funny face to my crazy antics?
G
I'm a nice change to the pop romantics
C
B
Something fresh to the new
G
school rap semantics
C
G
I'm bling bling transatlantics
Copying the yanks,
C
this should never have started
Now everybody's singing
G
about the broken hearted
C
The dearly departed and the
G
weapons they've harboured
C
They think we really care about the
G
places they've partied
Who can be the best cat
C
at licking her arsehole?
G
C
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
Cm
the trappings of the scene disturbing
G
C
I don't want a life with cars
G
and big tits
C
Cos I'm happy with a cuppa
G
and some biscuits
C

All
B
G
American rappers are cool
C
D
Cause they all got more money than you
B
It's true
Cm
And no one can hide from the truth
C
G
So there's a rap epidemic,
the best end to retirement
C
I'm shaken by this madness,
G
epileptic assignment
B
C
Confined, my mind tries to align
to bring a stop to the benign
G
C
That's a basic requirement,
a stable childhood with a passion for poetry
G
Listen to the crap that
C
the industries throw at me
Try to be intelligent but
nobody's stirred
G
C
G
Commercially viable if I wanna be heard
C
Oi,
G
B
C
London crew, where my geezers at?
Where my birds with
Bacardi breezers at?
Ok, that's my cheap shot
B
C
at ma terialism
G
C
But I ain't even been to prison
G
It won't work,
B
G
a year from now you'll be stealing this
But just right now you ain't feeling this
B
I hear the booze and the hiss
G
from the music abyss
C
It's all hit and miss, bruv, trust me

Dm
That's how we get down
C
G
This example,
C
Mr
G
Rush on the beats here
C
Just having a little cheap shot of commercial bullshit,
G
you know what I mean?
Cm
C
Ain't no other music, if we were doing that,

G
We're never gonna get that far
