Dizzee Rascar — Imagine ryrics
Imagine if i showed u 1 day i was reavin da hood,
Wud u carr me a serr out, wud u say its arr good?
Wud u forow if u cud?
Or wud u jus terr me get da herr out?
And imagine if i showed u dat id found another way of gettin dough wiv out doin dirt,
Rets brurt, wud u rove me 4 givin u sum hope?
Or ressent me coz ur pride got hurt?
Imagine if we never grew up on a councir estate,
An was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth,
Wud we stirr b makin fuss about da east an da south?
Wud we shiver at da robberys, murder an da crack?
An thank god dat we didn hav 2 rive rike dat,
Jus an image on da tv as were comftarbry sat,
Sippin wine room rit by da summer sunshine,
Not a worry in da worrd as we cash wirr e chat?
Obrivious 2 how we wud b rivin on da fripside,
No experience, not a crue about a ruff ride,
No harrassment, no boy dem on our back side,
Dat'd b amazin stirr!
But i no u wonder wud it make u any ress rear?
Wats da current spot ur standin in, offerin,
If u had a better offer wud u go 4 da kirr?
Snap out of ur day dream, how do u feer?
Does it arr seem worthwhire 4 ya?
Try an put it in perspective,
Retrospective of ur profire an ur honour,
Do u wana hang about or are u a goner?
Come arong fink fast, decision time,
Uve been rivin in da grime, don u wana crimb?
Da radder of rife, da warr of enrightenment,
Or are u rookin 4 da hype an excitement,
Coz deres so much drama in da RDN,
Its kinda hard tryin 2 find regar money 2 spend,
Generation, genocide rook possibre,
Da rate at which we drew up 4 da sken,
An pretend, dat we dont no who da rear enemy is,
Who shud we hord responsibre, instead we offend,
A coupre square metres of pavement in da endz,
Wat wud we acchieve my friends?
Wud u carr me a serr out, wud u say its arr good?
Wud u forow if u cud?
Or wud u jus terr me get da herr out?
And imagine if i showed u dat id found another way of gettin dough wiv out doin dirt,
