This Is My Demo |
Ladies and gentleman, |
Welcome to the end of the beginning, |
My name is Sway, |
A.k.a Little Derek. |
And right now, |
I’m about to take you, |
To the very beginning, |
Before the after, |
Prior to the present, |
Before the hype, |
Before the magazines, |
Before the buzz, |
And before the mix tape, |
Back to the blood, sweat and tears. |
Growing up I had too much on my mind, |
So I needed a way to get, |
All of this crap out of my head, |
So I chose music. |
This is my beginning, |
This is my introduction, |
This is my dream. |
Listen very carefully, |
This is my demo. |
It’s da arrival of Decihper, |
Live from this london dungeon, |
(Underground) |
Dats where I’ve been puttin' it, |
Down for my people on the, |
North side, |
(Get up) |
East side, |
(Get up) |
West side, |
(Get up) |
South side, |
(Get up) |
Inside, |
(Yeah) |
Outside, |
(Yeah) |
Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up. |
Un-der… |
(Underground) |
Dats wot I’m sayin yeah? |
And for years, |
Dats how long I waited here, |
And I’m prepared, |
Back then people never wanted to hear me though, |
Dats wen I had to shoot a lil video, |
Now I’m giving you the album, |
Here we go! |
Ever since I was a 'lil kid about 6 7 8 9 or 10, |
I always wanted to be bigga than Big Ben, |
But dreams can easily come to an end when your livin' in the big l.o.n.d.o.n., |
The city dat never sleeps so how do we dream? |
'Lil kids forced to think like men and the big smoke just gets you lean, |
To get a good start in life I took a run up instead of pickin' a gun up, |
I picked up a pen and I shoot for the sky, |
Run up on the clouds, |
Dats why I got one up on you clowns, |
Now I’m becomin da talk of da town, |
Just yesterday I was walkin around, |
Tryin to figure out how I’m gonna come up on the crown, |
Now I’m in the middle when the gathering crowds are sayin: |
(Sway) |
The beginning is still in my memory, |
(Sway) |
I was sittin' in my school assembely, |
(Sway) |
Never listen to what da teachers tellin' me, |
(Sway) |
I was thinkin' «will I live to seventy?», |
(Sway) |
And if I die will the world remember me? |
(Sway) |
Whos my frends and whos my enemys? |
(Sway) |
Who will love and who will envy me? |
(Sway) |
Now I’m ready for whatever is ment to be. |
(Sway) |
I put my blood sweat and tears in this music, |
I will not fail, |
Your listening to, |
This is my demo. |
Once upon a time in a place called Harrogate, |
Lived this average african black kid tryin' to get up in this, |
(Industry) |
Flat 23 brook road he would practice rapping rapidly, |
This rap MC had a lot to say with a little time so he rapped quick, |
Not to say he never had any frends but he never had many never had a penny to |
acces the industry, |
05/09/82: Flew back to the mother land where he grew flew back to the other |
land he was too english boy with an african accent, |
05/09/92: Using the music rooms at his school recording rythems then he rid 'em |
with riddles now hes an african boy with an english accent, |
Now hes twenty two, |
And your listening too, |
His first official lp debut, |
And I got the energy (Uh), |
I’m not jus' an n.I.g.(Uh), |
I’m still hungry and I’m eag (Uh), |
And I’m more ready than I’ve ever been (Uh), |
Because I’ve been persuading this thing from school, |
Since commodore, |
Atari and Amiga, |
Remember me sir? |
I ain’t in it to be number two, |
Five albums that’s what I’m gunna do, |
Five albums then I’m done, |
Then I’m through, |
The enemies (Uhhh), |
Can bite the dust, |
This is all before the hype, |
The buzz, |
This is all before the wife, |
The lust, |
The lies the thugs with knives and guns, |
It’s entertainment for you but it’s life for us, |
It’s time to buzz my niggas. |
(Sway) |
The beginning is still in my memory, |
(Sway) |
I was sittin' in my school assembely, |
(Sway) |
Never listen to what da teachers tellin' me, |
(Sway) |
I was thinkin' «will I live to seventy?», |
(Sway) |
And if I die will the world remember me? |
(Sway) |
Whos my frends and whos my enemys? |
(Sway) |
Who will love and who will envy me? |
(Sway) |
Now I’m ready for whatever is ment to be. |
(Sway) |
I put my blood sweat and tears in this music, |
I will not fail, |
Your listening to, |
This is my demo. |
I’ve got angels on my nokia, |
I’m out here and I got no fear, |
No foes or no phobias, |
So all those plottin' with the obeahs, |
And voodoo deres no hope for yah, |
Hang yourself I got rope for yah, |
I said deres no hope for yah, |
Hang yourself I got rope for yah, |
'Cause God would never let the devil harm any G’s, |
And when I’m in the dark read psalms twenty three, |
I’m trying to do good on the path for the beasts, |
A place where the bad boys are the police, |
Trapped in between the imman and the priest, |
And I can’t see, |
If I’m gonna be in the Church with a cross around my neck, |
Or in a Mosque with a Quran and a palm full of beads. |
(Sway) |
The beginning is still in my memory, |
(Sway) |
I was sittin' in my school assembely, |
(Sway) |
Never listen to what da teachers tellin' me, |
(Sway) |
I was thinkin' «will I live to seventy?», |
(Sway) |
And if I die will the world remember me? |
(Sway) |
Whos my frends and whos my enemys? |
(Sway) |
Who will love and who will envy me? |
(Sway) |
Now I’m ready for whatever is ment to be. |
(Sway) |
I put my blood sweat and tears in this music, |
I will not fail, |
Your listening to, |
This is my demo. |
