Lowkey tells MTV not to mention his name again. Lyrics below.

Lowkey - Top 1 Selected (lyrics)

Jerks wanna tempt me, to burn any emcee,
I strike back when i feel the world is against me,
a more crucial emcee than usual,
never needed MTV to prove it all,
i'm the hardest to hit back, as sharp as pick axe,
quick snap an artist in half like a Kit Kat,
this prat wanted this track with his diss track,
infact make ribs crack on impact,
the top team charted they want me starvin,
never will I side with Lockheed Martin,
don't text my phone trying to cop plea bargains,
shoulda, woulda, coulda never got me started,
tunes for the people not tunes for the Government,
seems to be a few little tunes that your coverin,
make tunes for the people not David Cameron,
maintain my place in the game and i'm adamant,
I spit fire like I had a bit of paraffin,
why would I care if an amateur is hasslin?
I'm moving so fast that this mannequin is panickin,
man are gettin' madder coz i'm badder than a bag of them,
every adjective is like i'm stabbin with a javelin,
should of known better than challengin a champion,
get silly in the city then I swagger in like Saladdin,
admit it coz i batter it, i'm better with the battlin,
murder the mic, with the words that i write,
make you turn side to side like a turbulent flight,
I will burn you alive then return you to life,
and give you back breath just to murder you twice,
did the silly billy really want it with me really?
Kill a Milli Vanilli for hollerin i'm brizzy,
'Top 3 Selected' yeah you was hot then,
but what now when you cant make top ten?

Let me rest for a moment,
never heard my tunes on westwood or logan,
never could rely on the press for promotion,
i'm destined to blow and they sense it's an Omen,
shaking my head like look at this liar,
shoulda retired, I put him in fire,
spit a million bars i wouldn't get tired,
ten is an insult I should of been higher,
and the tie was an insult, K-lashed my name off,
there isn't a single spitter in Britain i'm afraid of,
wanna trade shots? I will take off your frame ___?
not the same coz i'm trained to dodge rain drops,
good at flows but you shoulda known what my name was,
fact is my names hot from czechos to lagos,
but the radio wanna brainwash stray dogs,
never get played coz I DONT MAKE POP,
Do I get played by Westwood? NO!
Do I get played by Logan? NO!
Do I get played by Mista Jam? NO!
Before you comeback what does that show?
I'm a moving train that can't be stopped,
so my tunes get played by Charlie Sloth,
so the same guy that backed me, backed you,
so i'm really the wrong one you should chat to,
talkers hating coz i'm touring nations,
but I support the nations not corporations,
now they're all debating, who's more amazing,
but people's opinions are always changing,
there was a time when they had music monopolised,
play the same tunes get the viewers to swallow lies,
I rate the fact that you would choose to apologise,
but the bottom line is i refuse to be colonised,
I will never be part of your system,
tie me at ten in the charts to cause friction,
everything you put in your bars is pure ficition,
haters will hate but can't ignore wisdom,
twitter twatter I shitter shatter the analyst,
me I got five words: I am not having it,
if you really want results that are unanimous,
lets have a list where the people are panelists,
some of these heads debate and underestimate,
but none could test the great, thats one regret to make,
look at the facts it's such a mess you made,
coz you done something dumb with yesterday,
don't wanna hear my name when an emcee speaks,
don't need to get airplayed every week,
so keep your top ten and just let me be,
coz I walk with the people not MTV!
