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]
|
