High Street |
Racing down Ilford Lane going home |
Thinking about should I try to fake a fall |
You seem to think that you’re all alone |
And nothing ever could change it all |
Think about the words that you said |
Yeah, silence on my estate |
Cassette player chewed up my cassette tape |
Blisters from the control pad |
Cause I was on the Mega Drive more time |
If you’re feeling me put your Pinot Grigio high |
This ones for my G’s in the North side (Racing down Ilford Lane going home) |
All my G’s on the East side |
This one for my G’s in the West side (Thinking about should I try to fake a |
fall) |
My G’s on the South side |
The late king Michael Jackson doing the moonwalk on the telly |
And I was like «who's bad?» |
Sitting there smoking, sipping MD 20/20 |
Thinking I was the man |
Mum’s upset because I haven’t given her a penny |
But I just got a 20 bag |
Mum don’t stress, you know I told you already |
I’mma do it for you and dad |
So I was out on the grind |
On the 279, trying to show my songs to the world |
Inspired by the streets |
Fell in love with the beats, I never had time for a girl |
I never really cared about a hair cut |
I was in the club doing the 2-step |
Wishing it was me on the decks |
Wanted to do it for the love, it took some |
Perseverance and discipline |
Couldn’t wait to get the whole world listening |
I remember when I first went radio |
I couldn’t believe it was in the kitchen |
Your mixing and reality kicks in |
Smoking to calm my nerves and settle me down |
It feels like I’m in a crystal maze |
Somebody give Richard crystal and get me out |
In 1 mile I’ve seen 2 fights |
Blue tape, blue lights |
Single mom struggling with the push chair? |
She had a bad mouth but she had good hair |
Stole a phone in the shop getting looked at |
Barbershop, hairline’s getting pushed back |
Guys looking at me like they wanna fight me |
Just another day on the high street |
Yeah, and now I’m back on the estate |
My CD keeps skipping when I press play |
Four memory cards full of music |
Cause I was on the PlayStation more time |
If you’re feeling me put your Pinot Grigio high |
This ones for my G’s in the North side (Racing down Ilford Lane going home) |
All my G’s on the East side |
This one for my G’s in the West side (Thinking about should I try to fake a |
fall) |
My G’s on the South side |
