|
Yeah, [Chorus: x2] |
|
Little Derek's |
|
Doing Okay (yeah) |
|
Little Derek's |
|
Doing Fine (fine) |
|
Little Derek's |
|
Doing Cool (cool) |
|
You know how we do [Verse 1:] |
|
Stepped out my house |
|
I'm feelin fresh and brand new |
|
Olu did the trim rhianna done the hairdo |
|
And everything |
|
I wear's new, |
|
Maharishi jacket, |
|
Puma top, boxfresh jeans and |
|
Nike cambu |
|
Sprayed a little versace dreamer on me too |
|
So every girl who pass is like ooh wooh |
|
Police don't pull us over like woo woo |
|
Cause their kids watch |
|
MTV and Channel |
|
U (U) But life ain't always been fine like baby blue |
|
Cause when u do |
|
UK rap you're number two |
|
Cause the |
|
USA ain't givin us space to break true |
|
So I'm on the grind tryin to pioneer and break-through |
|
Gotta keep the punters happy, to tango it takes two |
|
And it seems like |
|
I'm the rapper the people take to |
|
I've never had alot, with what |
|
I've got I've made do |
|
Now I'm blowin up up in this bitch like move, move, move! [Chorus x2] [Verse 2:] |
|
Step out the ride |
|
I'm feelin nice and quite fly |
|
I'm tryin to reach the top |
|
I see the top is quite high! |
|
Steady on my grind tryin to get my face up in the source |
|
So I keep my faith up in the forces in the bright, white sky |
|
Gettin calls from these record label bosses like ' |
|
Hi'! And I've been inside their offices |
|
And listened to their promises |
|
But no-ones made me offers yet |
|
That I could not deny |
|
And I been makin profits of this my mix-tapes fly |
|
Life ain't always been pretty like nah |
|
On the north side of the city |
|
Where it's gritty like kai |
|
We did what we had to done to get by |
|
Hopin not to get caught up in no silly drive by |
|
Little derek wrote lyrics while the others got high |
|
And he ended up in |
|
HMV instead of |
|
HMP Cause street life could only end one way |
|
Your friend cryin on the scene like why, why, why? [Chorus x2] [Verse 3: Baby Blue] |
|
Knowin real fame that's what |
|
I used to dream about |
|
That everyone would know my name and they would scream it out |
|
Knowin my song words and sing along to and |
|
I would walk down the street and hear blue, blue, blue. |
|
My video's rotatin so |
|
I got these execs debating |
|
About whether |
|
I'm taken |
|
And these |
|
RnB guys is thinking the same thing |
|
Calling up my phone asking whether |
|
I'm dating. |
|
I turned my passion to career how could |
|
I lose out |
|
Quit my 9-5 so |
|
I don't have to sell *shoes* now |
|
My CDs are moving |
|
That's the route that |
|
I'm choosing |
|
So I got to make it thru, thru, thru |
|
Little Rachael used to look up to the sky too |
|
Analyse the planets and wonder if |
|
I could shine too |
|
So now they ask how |
|
I'm doin I say |
|
Little Rachael's doing okay [Chorus x2] |
