About

‘Wot Do U Call It?’, from Wiley’s album Treddin' on Thin Ice, stands out as one of the earliest Grime tracks yet, to this day one of the best. This genre defining song is ironically named ‘Wot Do U Call It?’ and it doesn’t mention the word grime once as this pre-dates the term “grime”, and instead i...

Wot Do U Call It? Lyrics

[Chorus]
What do you call it, garage? (What do you call it?)
What do you call it, garage?
Garage?
What do you call it, urban?
What do you call it, urban?
Urban?
What do you call it, two-step?
What do you call it, two-step?
Two-step?
Tell us what you call it then

[Verse 1]
Garage?
I don't care about garage
Listen to this - it don't sound like garage
Who told you that I make garage?
Wiley Kat'z got his own sound - it's not garage
Make it in the studio and not in the garage
Here in London there's a sound called garage but
This is my sound, it sure ain't garage
I heard they don't like me in garage
'Cause I use their scene but make my own sound
The Eskimo sound is mine, recognise it's mine
You can't claim what's mine
It's my time to bait you up
I don't hate you but some of you have got a problem
I'm putting you out of business, why is that a problem?
What's your problem?
What the heck my name is problem, remember?

[Chorus]
What do you call it, garage? (What do you call it?)
What do you call it, garage?
What do you call it, urban?
What do you call it, urban?
What do you call it, two-step?
What do you call it, two-step?
What do you call it?
Tell us what you call it then

[Verse 2]
Why do you think that I'm stupid?
I got brains I could never be stupid
You can never use my name to make your raves jam
I won’t turn up, I'll stay at home with my girl and jam
You can't threaten me with no bad man talk, I’m not scared sorry man
But I've seen so much now, I don't give a monkey's
Swing from tree to tree just like monkeys
Who influenced me to be funky
Who influenced me to make Eski Beat
I make Eski Girls and Eski Boys
Move their feet to the sound you can hear
I hear you try to stop my record sales, record deals
But the belt can't hold the waist in (the waist in)
If it gets too big and it's tremblin', then POP!
It blows up and we win (I'm winning)
Ready to say my goodbyes
Goodbye to the man who don't like me
Goodbye to the woman who don't like me
Goodbye to the fingers pointing at me
Goodbye to the promoters that hate me
Goodbye to the people that's hassling me 'cause
I'm turning over a new leaf
Get sharp like a knife in the sheath
Stay sharp like a knife cutting beef
Cut the strings, there's no grief
If you don't cut the strings there's more grief
See I get the impression I'm not wanted
So I'm leaving your scene that's what we wanted
That's what I wanted, I'm on my way now
Wish me luck, I'm doing my thing now
To the fans let's go, everyone who likes this let's go

[Bridge]
Everyone who likes that go that way
Go that way, go that way, go that way
Go that way, go that way, go that way
Everyone who likes this come this way
(come this way) let's go this way
Let's go this way, let's go this way
Let's go this way, Let's go this way

[Verse 3]
I'm carrying weight, I break everyone down
Take everybody down
Any crew any sound
Any MC who's in my way I break down
I can show you now - it's all changed round
I remember - things were the other way round
When the world got colder and it changed round
I go to every manor and its all changed round
I want everybody to follow this sound so
Don't deny the power of my empire
When I'm hit I strike back with my empire
No more crew, so what? We got an empire
Roll Deep empire high power, high power yo
I'm a compulsory buyer
Go to the shops and I spend them, buy what I want and
This is Roll deep empire
If you work hard then you can be a buyer
Like me

What did Wiley say about "Wot Do U Call It?"?

Everyone in the world has their own view on everything. It’s all contradiction, something to make people talk. I know as soon as that track goes out there garage people will think: “he thinks he’s big. If it wasn’t for garage he wouldn’t be…” That’s the whole point. As soon as he does that I’ve won...
