This ain't the down, it's the upbeat, make it complete So what's the story, guaranteed accuracy, enhanced CD Latest technology, darts at treble twenty Huge non-recoupable advance, majors be vigilant I excel in both content and deliverance So let's put on our classics and we'll have a little dance, shall we? No sales pitch, no media hype No hydro, it's nice and ripe I speak in communications in bold type This ain't your archetypal street sound Scan for ultrasound North, South, East, West and all round And then to the Underground [Chorus: Repeat 2X] You say that everything sounds the same And then you go buy them There's no excuses, my friend Let's push things forward As we progress to the check point I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint But this ain't your typical garage joint I make points which hold significance That ain't a bag it's a shipment This ain't a track, it's a movement, I got the settlement My frequencies are transient and resonate your eardrums I make bangers not anthems, leave that to the Artful Dodger The broad shouldered fifty-one percent shareholder You won't find us on Alta Vista Cult classic not bestseller, you're gonna need more power Plug in the free phase and the generator, crank it up to gigawatts Critics, ready with your pot shots, the plot thickens Put on your mittens for these sub zero conditions But remember I'm just spitting, remember I'm just spitting Once bitten, forever smitten [Chorus] Spit jewels like Eastern riches, junkie fixes Around here we say 'birds', not bitches As London Bridge burns down Brixton's burning up Turns out your in luck, I knows this dodgy f*ck in the Duck So it's just another show flick for your local city poet In case you geezers don't know it, let's push things forward It's a tall order but we're taller, calling all maulers Back street brawlers, corner shop crawlers, victory's flawless Love us or hates us but don't slate us Don't conform to formulas, pop genres and such Sharp darts, double dutch, parked cars troubles you much With more bud - let's - push - things - forward [Chorus]
