Showtime |
| Hello, hello and welcome |
| My name’s Dizzee Rascal |
| They call me Rascola or sometimes |
| They call me Rasket |
| Formally The Boy in da Corner |
| If you’re here for the first time |
| I’d like to tell you a bit about |
| What this is, this is, you know |
| Whatever you make it |
| Whatever you perceive it to be |
| Serious, aha |
| Dizzee Rascal, London’s finest |
| This journey starts 6 years ago |
| In run-down housing estate in Bow |
| East London south-east UK |
| Was a young man lets call this young man Ray |
| Frustrated with being 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 |
| Cause 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 spot |
| Stood outside of the door and knocked |
| Asked what jungle records you got |
| Must be something you wanna get shot, off, blot |
| Didn’t buy beats, he ready to quit, gave him the whole lot |
| Then Ray had little click, they were hot |
| Young gun soldiers, but it all flopped |
| Still it didn’t make ray wanna give up the fight |
| Ray just picked up the mic, would write |
| Lyrics while excluded |
| No glitz and glamour included |
| Like crime for money, dough |
| Crime pays, didn’t you 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 of radio airtime |
| 1 AM til 3 be in school by 9 |
| This was clearly a positive sign |
| Learning bout beats breaks and bars |
| Didn’t chat about champagne and cars |
| More concerned with you know, the grime |
| Made it a touch difficult to shine |
| Among these so-called underground stars |
| Some resented him thus presenting |
| Him with pure dumbness like retards |
| It didn’t 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 with the wordplay |
| Went through dramas along the way |
| But he stood firm pressed on with the wordplay |
| Went through dramas along the way |
| Let’s take a look at Ray today |
| Today, today, today, today, today… |
| Showtime! |
| It’s Showtime |
