Let me take you down to London city Where the attitude’s bad and the weather is sh-tty Everybody’s on a paper chase It’s one big rat race Everybodys got a screw face So many 2 face, Checkin their high just like their ready to ride I’m on the inside looking at the outside So it’s an accurate reflection City wide, north, east, west and the southside Everywhere I go there’s a goon on the corner Guns and drugs cause the city’s like a sauna
Can’t keep up with the cover notes, So they got bad credit livin’ on direct debit in debt they still don’t get Cause they too busy livin’ the high life, the night life Huggin’ the high when livin’ it large Can’t keep up with the cover notes, So they got bad credit livin’ on direct debit in debt they still don’t get Cause they too busy livin’ the high life, the night life Huggin’ the high when livin’ it large
dizzee 1st verse Everybody wants to be famous, Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless, People act shameless Tryna live like entertainers, Want a fat crib with the acres, So they spend money that they ain’t made yet, Got a Benz on tik that they ain’t paid yet, Spend their pay cheque In the west end on the weekend Got no money by the end of the weekend. But they don’t care cause their life is a movie Truthfully, it’s a joke, like a bad episode of Hollyoaks,
Love it when you find a song from an album and expect the singer to be shit live, then find something like this that utterly breaks all expectations.
@Snobert at least you can hear what jay-z is rappin', here you can't hear only half of the sentences he is saying! Tho its a good song, and i think they are both great rappers!
@wouter1256 Sorry mate but I think thats because you are used to the American accent and slang. Half the reason I respect people like Dizzee is because they have a british style and their lyrical content reflects british culture. Diversity is refreshing. I'm not having a go, just saying how I see it.
best thing about it was the fact that jay z and alicia keys were supposed to be headlining this gig. these two blew them and everyone else away in just over 3 minutes. masterpeice
@margerineandturkey - with a voice like hers, why would you lip-sync? Are you suggesting Dizzee MC'd live, but she mimed her part? I don't understand. BTW, YouTube videos fall out of sync with the sound all the time
i love her so much. but does anyone else think she was lip sinking. Id like to think she wasn't, but it just dosnt look right sometimes in that video. either way. shes still awesome.
Freaking. Love. This. Their voice doesn't need to be edited by all those crap studio recordings; they actually can sing. I love Florence's voice!!!!!!
@syedps3 Originally it was, but Florence re-released this as her song, and this is a cover of Florence's version with Dizzee Rascal, and as this has Florence in it, then it is her song. So be quiet?
i used to wonder what made this song so exceedingly beutifull other thain the singing now i saw the harp and it just clicked the song is full of so much energy but the harp is like that tiny bit of tranquility in the eye of the storm this song makes me so happy its extreme every version is beutifull but i would love to hear florence alone with a harp just once it would make my day of days or just like half the song with harp and then the rest with the machine it would be mindblowing beuty
dizzee nice job....respect man!!
