Chipmunk

Then And Now
(feat. Jermaine Riley) [Chipmunk] From the age of 10 I used to do a paper round Just so I could see the paper round So I could splash in the porna shop And buy sweets till my teeth would rot I used to play football, I used to like dancing Man I tried everything- even karate After 5 years I had to pull it, Caah blackbelt can't teach you how to dodge bullets I never knew what I wanted to be But I knew what the man above wanted for me They said Jehmal your smart enough to be a doctor, or a lawyer But fuck that them jobs are boring! And footie's getting dry like raving, But shout out to craig hes some other kind that made it I don't know my profession yet- quite But one day I'm gunna get signed [Chorus] Just write the check, I'm out here spending money so I gotta make it, Rest to make it Things are different so Don't you take this shit for granted SongtexteWhen the money's in your hand yeaah [Chipmunk] My big bro's Mcing now I might have to try this out And Dizzee Rascal's on tv now Shit, this could be my way out Good at English but I hate reading Good grades, just a few exclusions My story's inspirational And with the right help I can execute this out to the nations Or my words can lock down the pavement Skip jammas basement, eskimo dance aside, Winding take it straight to the big stages- That'll be amazing But damn I gotta make some I'm doing it independent, spent before you make some Think I know my profession now guys- damnn I got stars in my eyes [Chorus] Just write the check, I'm out here spending money so I gotta make it, Rest to make it Things are different so Don't you take this shit for granted When the money's in your hand yeaah [Chipmunk] If you ever knew what was getting sold Just so we can pay for videos 8R from the bottom we roll So when the cheques came the first hundred bags got blown Shout at to boy better know, me and skeppy from the north side we charted on our own So they approached us, we never approached the majors And now look, we majors [Chorus] Just write the check, I'm out here spending money so I gotta make it, Rest to make it Things are different so Don't you take this shit for granted When the money's in your hand yeaah Aus Songtexte Mania
