About I Luv U

"I Luv U" is the debut single by British rapper Dizzee Rascal and the lead single from his debut album Boy in da Corner. It was released in May 2003 after a test pressing had leaked to the Internet in 2002. The single became Dizzee Rascal's first top forty hit, peaking at number twenty-nine and spending three weeks inside the top seventy-five. It is sometimes mistaken for the second single released by Dizzee Rascal, after number two, "Fix Up, Look Sharp". The song was produced by Dizzee Rascal with vocalist and London rapper Jeanine Jacques featuring on vocals. The song opens with a stuttering voice repeating the song's title, leading into a bass-heavy rhythm. It discusses about teenage relationships, teenage pregnancy, undesirable player girls and falling for girls who are using you. More specifically, the song chronicles a relationship where sex is used as blackmail ending up in the eventual breakdown of said relationship when the male character starts fantasizing about a college girl. Although the college girl has escaped the ghetto via education, according to Dizzee, she still gives "ghetto head".

[Dizzee Rascal]
Yo If that girl know's where you stay that's poor
some whore banging on your door what for
pregnant? what're you talking about this for
fifteen, she's underage that's raw
and against law 5 years or more
and she wants a score and half of a draw
some kind of friend that you try and ignore
that whore got you pinned down to the floor
but its your own fault you said three magic words (i love you)
when that's the one for the birds
when you said that she forgot other boys
its over you better start buying the toys
there was no intention in front of your wife
that she knows this that she's ending your life
its a real shame you got hacked by the whores
its a real shame that kid probably ain't yours

[CHORUS]

[Dizzee Rascal]
That girl' some bitch ya know

she just moan and groan
she just keep ringin me at home
these days I don't answer my phone

but she ain't my wifey she can go

[CHORUS]

[Dizzee Rascal]

or I might just take your girl and make your girl my girl
switch your girl with michelle
switch michelle with chantelle
play chantelle with shennele
lyrical clientelle but I ain't a bow cat, I don't like the smell
I'm gonna go through a shell and make a boy feel unwell

that girl's from school, that girl's from college
that girl gives brains, that girl gives knowledge
that girl gives head, that girl gives shines
that girl gives bj's at all times
she looks decent, she looks fine
but don't talk about wifey she's not mine
she got batches, 6 in a line, believe me that's not a good sign
