Альбом Skepta

See I used to think like you
So to diss you wouldn't be fair
But at the same time if I listen to what you tell me I wouldn't be here
Shit turns to gold when I touch it
So me looking at youtube comments is counter-productive
Cos none of that criticism is constructive
So I switch off the mac like f*** this
You're never gonna see me switchin'
Another twitter account with no pic, 10 followers, following everybody he's dissing
I found myself now I'm missing
They love the grime flow I'm spitting
I took it to the chart now they're listening
I can't wait till I'm on tour I'm itchin'
Make some noise
Somebody tell Will Smith I am Legend
What dya know about looking in the fridge and all you can see is a white light like heaven
When I was young I used to beg mum for some money to buy a birthday present
And now parents want to book me for a sweet 16
I'm a birthday present

[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
Screaming nobody made me, nobody made me

Put your hands in the air
For the grime MC of the year
Some say I came out of nowhere
Little d'they know it's been a four year nightmare
Running around with no runner
Had to pay for my own radio plugger
Watch'd everybody eating
While I sat there with no bread, no butter
I told myself I gotta do this
Whatever the weather I get through this
Long as I keep making the hits
My distributors gotta move those units
So I never gave up hoping, naa
Forget crying and sulking
They said I was too grimey
Now me and P. Diddy on the iChat laughing and joking
Make some noise
And I hope all you A and R's heard that
I got so much more that I wanna say
But I'm looking foward I cant turn back
Remember it's boy better know all year from october to september
We built this ourselves so the only man that can ever knock me down is Skepta

[Chorus]
They didn't want to rate me
But all my supporters came together and saved me
Tears in my eyes
Head high, pointing to the sky
Screaming nobody made me, nobody made me

Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around, i cant see no love for me,
Somebody rescue meeeee

Im the king of the town Mr crazy,
creating the sound, theres still no love for me,
somebody rescue me,
Just rescue me,
Rescue me,
Rescue me

They call me S... K... E.PTA,
Before i start i just wanna say,
Boy Better Know all day,
I got bumble bee's tryin to figure out how i got this buzz,
All i want is a kiss and a hug but somebody told specsavers i still cant see no love,
Days, month, years, blood, sweat, tears,
I walk the street of london facing my fears,
And everydays like truth or dare,
So spin that bottle,
Cus if it lands on me, imma stay true to my word,
I dont want anymore respect than i deserve

Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around i cant see no love for me,
somebody rescue me

Im the king of the town Mr crazy
creating the sound, theres still no love for me,
Somebody rescue me,
Just rescue me,
Rescue me,
Rescue me

Just, no ceiling, no doors, i walk all over the beat,
No floors i tell a hater i love you loads,
Tell a supporter how i love you more,
And they say ive changed, I say im making a change,
I left the road, made a brand new lane,
Still i get no thank you, no round of applause,
So i keep on driving, im upset but i keep on smiling,
And when i get knocked down i get back on my two feet and i keep on fighting,
I sacrifice still privacy so i can live my dream what a irony,
Cus now my reality is far from the place i would like to be,

Well i been breaking it down for you baby,
Been running around i cant see no love for me
somebody rescue me

Im the king of the town Mr crazy
creating the sound
theres still no love for me
somebody rescue me
Just rescue me

Somebody remind me what happened last night cos I can't remember a thing
I think they call this Amnesia
Feel like I've been in a sleeper
I think they call this Amnesia

SKEPTA
Last night was Sick, oh what a city.
I lost my phone though oh what a pity
When I woke up I found a note that said. Sorry I had to go Ily
I looked around this can't be real
Cos I don't recognize this
Then I saw the minibar and I was like Rarr
Somebody terrorised it.
Not even a bottle of water
Make it worse this room was hotter than a sauna ...
So I jumped up got ready.
Went downstairs to the hotel lobby.
Man are like swear down you're a mad man skeppy, I must have had one to many
Cos I can't remember anything after the two yager misters and a bottle of henny

Somebody remind me what happened last night cos I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means.
Feel like I've been in a sleeper.
I think they call this Amnesia

Who you trying to diss? Who did you fight with? Who did you kiss? Who did you dance with?
Who did you lits?
Awww man, you were a Myth!

I remember walking in Blinded by the lights
Look left, Look right
Saw 2 Men That I don't Like But I already lit up the room when I walked in
No need for fireworks tonight unless it's on the side of a bottle
And I'm only here for one night on the high, So I'm trying to find me a Model
We circled the party once,
Nothing Twice, Dead
Third time around I saw a girl I tuck into bed
Two minutes later, I'm at the bar.
Doing shots of yagar
Thats when I blacked out.
Anything after thats all a Myth
Like lorrie ager, Major

Somebody remind me what happened last night cos I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means.
Feel like I've been in a sleeper.
I think they call this Amnesia

Who you trying to diss? Who did you fight with? Who did you kiss? Who did you dance with?
Who did you lits?
Awww man, you were a Myth!

Had one drink, two drink, three drink, four, had one too many, now you're laying on the floor
Had one drink, two drink, three drink, four, had one too many, now you're laying on the floor

You lost your phone, you lost your friends
Here comes that classic line
I'm never drinking again
Thought you were casually drinking
But you were actually binging
Woke up somewhere you've never been too In your whole life
And now your thinking

Somebody remind me what happened last night cos I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means.
Feel like I've been in a sleeper.
I think they call this Amnesia

Somebody remind me what happened last night cos I can't remember a thing
This must be what it means.
Feel like I've been in a sleeper.
I think they call this Amnesia

She told me that I talk nonsense,
she said I never boost her confidence,
she came home wearing a brand new dress,
but I never gave her a compliment,
no emotion, no attention,
she wants me to pop the question,
but I never said a word,
not even a mention,

that's why they call me a bad boy
they call me a bad boy
they call me a bad (x4)
they call me a bad boy

I know she knows I know she aint the one,
she calls me every name under the sun,
wasteman, lazy, she's mad; she's crazy,
she aint the girl that you wanna lie to,
but like a fool one day I still try to,
like, I never forgot your birthday,
I was just trying to surprise you,
she told me that I talk nonsense,
she said I never boost her comfidence,
she came home wearing a brand new dress
but I never gave her a compliment,
no emotion no attention,
she wants me to pop the question,
but I never said a word
not even a mention

that's why they call me a bad boy
they call me a bad boy

I know you're buff, I know you're pretty,
but listen up honey, I'm not billy,
you're too deep in love,
you need to jump out the water like free willy
cos all you do is just moan and complain,
it was all good when your friend came,
but any time my friends wanna come around,
you start going insane in the membrane,
she told me that I talk nonsense,
she said I never boost her comfidence,
she came home wearing a brand new dress
but I never gave her a compliment,
no emotion no attention,
she wants me to pop the question,
but I never said a word
not even a mention

that's why they call me a bad boy
they call me a bad boy
they call me a bad (x8)
that's why they call me a bad boy,
they call me a bad (x8)
that's why they call me a bad boy,

(feat. Preeya Kalidas)

[Preeya Kalidas - Chorus]
Strobe Lights flashing in my eyes
living for this moment and now I realise
I'll never tell a lie lie lie
I'll never let em in I leave em on the outside
(Boy Better know)
I promise you, I promise you, yeah
(The truth)
I promise you I promise you, yeah
(Skepta)
Cross my heart until the day I die

[Skepta Verse 1]
I've been around the World and back
screaming more money more paper
been doing it major
even Walkers aint go this much flavour
they say I'm superbad like Mclovin
now man are calling me family all of a sudden
and I'm like mum how come you never told me that I had all these cousins
this corner I'm standing in never felt claustrophobic when I came in 10 minutes ago
now my backs against the wall
it's a good job I'm tall
so I can always see clear
even with all the smoke in the air
I know some are standing here cause of loving fame
but some of them are here out of fear

[Chorus]

[Skepta Verse 2]
It's time to go straight back to the top with them
they tried to stop me but I'm doing it again
and all my real friends know Ima still keep it 10 multiplied by 10
forgive me if I've been acting a little strange
I never knew that one song could make my whole life change
last week I boarded six planes
but I can't complain this is the moment I've been waiting for
picked myself off the floor and now I get a warm welcome when I walked in the door
I'm with Boy Better Know let em all in
there's a flip side to all things
so before you sign yourself up to the high life
make sure you read the small print
listen, please
listen to me when I'm talking
the guy you're looking at right now is the guy I was this morning
I never had a pen but I made a mark
even when I top the chart I'll be the same guy that I was at the start
I hope to die I cross my heart

[Chorus]

They say "Skepta, you must get loads of girls"
the music's picked up now
tell em like J2k, nahh, it's all switched up now
she thinks that if she talks to me they'll call
her a groupie behind her back now
so she stands far but close enough for her pictures
to have me in the background
I'm kinda used to it now
they say it's all part and parcel
and if it's this much for me
imagine whats it's like for Curtis and Marshall
I wanna go hard
but my body keeps telling me to take it easy
so I sit here watching a DVD logo bounce around the TV
my life ended ages ago, now it's all a dream
sitting here, thinking how this thing all started
from What D'Ya Mean, What D'Ya Mean
now that I'm getting that paper I heard a couple man want me dead
so I went out bought a Gucci hat and put money on my own head
I forever hear people talking like I don't know about street
fake gangstas must think I spent my music money on chocolate and sweets
you're looking for beef in London? Nah it's not hard to find it
but I'm not scared of a gun, it's all about the man behind it

[Chorus]
you wanna make it big
you think you like what you see
you wanna make it big
you saw me go from the bottom to the top
now you wanna be me

You wanna make it big
this famous life make people wanna wish they were 6 feet under
but not me
see when I made it big
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
truss

[Skepta - Verse 2]
Sometimes I think that I think too much
I start thinking about thinking
then I start to get paranoid
I think my windows need tinting
they say why work all this time
to get famous Joseph
just to wear sunglasses
cause you don't wanna get noticed
once in a while I take em off
and I'm like "arrr, thats too bright"
because I sleep all day then I wake up at night
then I phone my girl, see if she wants to link
she said she got work in the morning
so what do I do, I go out for a drink
I spend all my time in clubs
it's starting to feel like home
I don't wanna sit in the VIP but sometimes I just wanna be left alone
I hate when I'm in a bad mood and I see all my supporters vibes'n
and I apologies to anyone I've taking a pic with when I weren't smiling
they say "don't you remember me I met you at Party In The Park"
babe, I can't even where I parked my car in the car park
now she hates me and everytime she hears my song she's changing the station
I swear the human brain weren't designed to deal with all this information

[Chorus]
you still wanna make it big
you think you like what you see
you wanna make it big
you saw me go from the bottom to the top
now you wanna be me

You wanna make it big
this famous life can make some people wish they were 6 feet under
but not me
you see when I made it big
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
truss

[Bridge]
Listen tomorrow isn't promised to us so
you have to enjoy today
cause the game is like a box of roses
cause when they're done with the chocalate
the wrapper gets thrown away
I said the wrapper gets thrown away

[Chipmunk]
When you're shooting for your targets
and its making you a target
you die before you live, I wish you warned me when I started
we're going full hearted, R.I.P the half wits
cause now we're 6 feet under the top spot f-ck a casket
bastards, don't we make the lifestyle look appealing
independant names and chains
Skepta are we dreaming?
nobody could season, this track couldn't reach him
cause now I'm on the otherside of that glass ceiling
the underdogs are off the leash
eh Joseph, pass the muzzles and the leads
the games full of demons, lets get this armhouse on
everyone wants handouts but I aint stretch armstrong
we've come so far as emcee's
round of applause or bust it off just make it clap please
I'm so past just trying to be the favourite
you're nobody until you got some haters
but you still wanna make it BIG!

[Chorus - x2]

We were chillin
then we had sex
in the kitchen
in the shower
in my bed
on the couch
in other words we had sex all over the house
all over the house
all over the house (x3)

she came closer
i popped up like bread in a toaster
alright alright foreplays over
i stuck her up on the wall like a poster
then i told her
let me show you something you wont forget
just hold me by the neck
and ill pick you up by the legs
she said junior dont drop me
i said baby i do this properly
just kiss me
close your eyes tight like the rest is history
now i got princess open
like a birthday card im gonna show her around the house and sell her the yard smooth

We were chillin
then we had sex
in the kitchen
in the shower
in my bed
on the couch
in other words we had sex all over the house
all over the house
all over the house (x3)

shes giving me come to bed eyes
i need to come correct im
she loves my XL size
i wanna be between those thighs
all over the house
front room she opens the blouse
had a body like wow
no time for the bedroom i had to act now
and i was like hey pretty missy
the way your looking is oh so pretty
to lose this moment would be a pity
but this aint sex aint city
this is sex kitchen
this is sex on the floor
animalistic going on all 4s
working in the house but this aint a chore smooth

We were chillin
then we had sex
in the kitchen
in the shower
in my bed
on the couch
in other words we had sex all over the house
all over the house
all over the house (x3)

she hadnt seen me in ages
i came in gave her a kiss on the lips and took off my rucksack and trainers
let me flick forward a couple pages
then it all started
1 word , outrageous
in & out like CD changes
our bodies exchanging flavours
i put her on a table
moved all the papers
her legs high up in the air
non stop like bassline ravers
then we went to the bedroom
on the floor , move the straigtners
the way we were all over the house
thought we were all painters smooth

We were chillin
then we had sex
in the kitchen
in the shower
in my bed
on the couch
in other words we had sex all over the house
all over the house
all over the house (x3)

music---------------------------------

in other words all had sex all over the house
all over the house (x5)

[Skepta]
Yeah Skepta, Boy Better Know, N-Dubz
I never have a dream when I go to sleep at night
my dream begins when I walk outside
now I'm on stage and I feel like I'm looking through Michael Jacksons eyes
stories, rumours and accusations so I gotta stay self conscious of my hand gestures before they call me a Mason or say that I'm working with satan
but even a blind man could see, I would never sell my soul for the P
when you're looking at Skepta, you're looking at grime so the only thing I gotta stay true to is me
I don't need a helping hand, stand up tall, I'm my own man
find me on the tallest building in the country singing as loud as I can

[N-Dubz - Chorus]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(S-K-E-P-T-A)
Got my two feet on the ground
but it feels like I'm in the sky
it's time to enjoy the sun cause we made it through the rain
put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive

(Boy Better Know-oh-oh, yeah)

[Dappy]
Shit what have I done
raa, everyone singing along to my bars
went triple platinum, see me I'm trying to do what Elvis done
and the stage is way too big for me
Labels never thought this guy from the ghetto could make all these girls sing for me
nana, nana, nana, niiiiii
I got a big NANA chain hanging down to my navel
tell the bartender "take a fat bottle of champagne to Polydor's table"

big men acting like school kids
say there gonna run up on me with a full clip
so I pull down the two flaps on my cap cause I didn't want to hear that bullshit

[N-Dubz - Chorus]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(D-A-Double P-to-the-Z)
Got my two feet on the ground
but it feels like I'm in the sky
it's time to enjoy the sun cause we made it through the rain
put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive

[Fazer]
It's time to get dark
Blacker than Cilla
Fazer aka 6 figure n-gga
man said I got robbed for my chain
until I put a picture on Skepta's twitter
when I go to the Gucci store I dress rags
security think that I aint gonna buy shit
then I pull out my card, swipe it, bowl out with 20 bags
If i like them, cop them, f-ck the hater, can't stop them
MC's wanna diss N-Dubz but they can't get a top twenty let alone a top ten
so if it weren't for the fans I woulda had a haters blood on my hands
I'mma mastermind behind the keyboard so I'mma carry on stacking up these grands

[Chorus]

Where?

London?
Yes, London! You know: fish, chips cup o' tea, bad food, worse weather, Mary fucking Poppins, London.

Whoo Kid

[Skepta]
Too many wannabe badboys flexin' like they're so rowdy
Look a badboy straight in the face, tell him I'm a real badboy f-ck Mike Lowery
I don't take disrespect neither do the guys that are standing around me
I do it how they didn't wanna do it now they wanna try an do it but I'm telling them 'low me
When I shut one eye and aim, I hit the target
Ben Cook now sitting at home now tryna figure out how he f-cked up his artist
If the game was a tray full of ice cubes then I'll be the coldest and the hardest
The last MC that dissed me, blood on the ceiling, blood on the carpet
See I've got more heart than Tony Hawk but when I'm riding I ain't ramping
I'm ready for all out war them man are lying on the floor camping
said keep it professional, Skepta forget the mad ting
I just say Candyman five times in the mirror but nothing ain't happening
When I say that I stick it in the pussy'ole, cuz it ain't no sexual innuendo
I been producing since Mario came on the Super Nintendo
So if a man wants to violate me I will make this beat at the fastest tempo
Kill another MC then go Spain and change my name to Lorenzo

[Sample]
What happened to him?
He got shot in the face Lincoln. I would have thought that was obvious.
What'd you do that for? You mistake him for a rabbit? What do you want me to do about it?
Sort it out.
I'm not a f-cking witch doctor.
But you are a bad boy yardie and bad boy yardies are supposed to know how to get rid of bodies.
I create the bodies. I don't erase the bodies.

There ain't no clowns round here when I find one go to the circus
F-ck a suspended sentence, I'll re-offend if I ever get nervous
I say what I mean, mean what I say so when I say it I'm saying it on purpose
I tell a man that wants to rob me don't bother coming if you ain't got burners
I gave up smoking and then I got stressed out told KJ get the weed in
Lying in bed paranoid thoughts in my head, staring at the ceiling
100 nightmares in my brain clearly tryna stop me sleeping
1000 diamonds in my chain and its hurting a lot of mans feelings
You wanna know why they call me Guy Fawkes in the club just look at my table
Now they wanna know what Skepta's worth they wish they knew my appraisal
Black carbon fibre on the roof of the white Audi I'm so interracial
I start with a little bit of foreplay, have sex then finish off with a facial
When it comes to the bedroom ladies better know I'm so X-rated
I met her on Monday made love on the same day 'cause I ain't Craig David
Big high grade spliff, Courvoursier n-gga I'm so wasted
I can't drive like this but it's okay because Jamie's driving a spaceship
Boy Better Know
