Dream - Dizzee Rascal

I’m not gunna pull this off man without signing the dots

This is too sensible for me man

How you gunna have a dream come true?

I used to dream about crazy little things like fame

In the days hanging outside the off licence

We used to run around the steets reckless with no shame

Mainly up to no good the whole world would ask us And when the girls would walk by we would try to catch their eye

And if they didnt show face we would act immature

Had a thing for south and hackney girls since I was a kid

A couple of west girls on my radar I was raw

And I was dead sure that I knew it all

The whole world got my attitude I nearly blew it all

I find it a real big struggle gettin through ot all

I swear I didn’t wanna listen cause I sure didn’t care

Not knowing for reality that I’d have to prepare

Cos money don’t grow on no stick, well it’s rare

Me and boy was still looking less and less the lick

Plus I was growing up, life was looking as a scare

I like the talky talky happy talk

Talk about things you like to do You got to have a dream

If you don’t have a dream

How you gunna have a dream come true

I used to love music it was like my hidden hobbie

But I couldn’t get on on local radio back then

So I went to north london and trot to tottenham to be precise

And got some air time on heat fm And then it esculated I was getting ratings here and there

And carried on untill eventually I was everywhere

I started doing all the hot spots ministry ceasers palace p area taminin v I did the grim and the glam

I done the poor and the posh

I didnt hang around I wanted my money in a rush

Mind frame in the studio at this stage

No time to chat I didnt wanna n-gage

I found myself a new hustle it was beautiful

A none like the one before a bit more suitable

The more challenging it got the more I thought it Made an album over 100,000 people bought it Thank you

To all the youngers cotchin on the staires in the flats

With the superstar sockalings Beckham in the making

You can go far if you put your mind to it Your a star, don’t wait to be told, just do it Try to keep school in your plans don’t be worrying about your mans

They’ll be there in the end if they’re real, if they aint

Dont be making no effort to impress

cause you’ll find out where you are just do what you feel

Young babymother I got your back aswell

Young babyfathers hold it down for your girl

I ain’t trying to preach but for what it’s worth

Back is the next generation planet earth

Big shout to the world cause I’ve been all around

And when I’m gone I’m always thinking about my home town

I’m from the LDN theres no forgetting that

And the big UK I stay reppin that

You love that

You tell me you don’t love that
