2004

Let me tell you how it was back then
When I had a black 3210 back then
Had a couple lighties locked in the ends back then
Used to holla at my line talking what back when
I used to have a name back then
But I still got a name inda endz
Right now ain’t talking bout the present
Am talking bout the past
So I gotta keep the topic on way back then

Let me tell you how it was back then
Used to go to larrells yard to spray back then
Music 2000 PlayStation
With a decks and a mixer the ting back then
Record to pc do it through Winamp
Msn send was the ting back then
Thеn you’d wait for a nudge and a shake of the screen
To know if it bangеd back then
92.3 way back then
95.5 way back then
100.3 way back then
Record the whole set then play that again

When man couldn’t put faces to names and the mc’s were just a voice back then
Did for the sake of the game back then
No money no hoes just your name back then
2009
Let me tell you how it was them days
Funky house had the no.1 song them days
And they wouldn’t even put grime on the playlist
So the mandem couldn’t get funds them days

Rolling with my crew trying to run them days
Every day on channel you having fun them days
Commercial wouldn’t except man for who man was
Got treated like scum them days

Let me tell you how it was them days
In business the man Dem were dumb dumb days
Ringtones made some millions of pounds
But the man Dem still saw none them days
Picking up a Benz trying to bun them days
Getting licks by mummy that was long them days
Hop out the window when she go sleep
And go and check my thing with double dees them days

Let me tell you how it was them days
When I had a fresh blackberries scroll them days
Made money from musical Road them days
When I think about it I was kind of lost them days
Nobody showed me the path them days
Just an industry full up of Frauds and fakes
Out in the jungle you pass the snakes
And praising the Lord that it ain’t them days

Right bloody now
Let me tell you what it is this year no L’s
Just straight up wins this year
Did vocals made a few quid this year
Plus got myself a platinum plaque this year
Let me tell you how it is this year
Going to sign ourselves to our own selfs this year
Tax right of money made from the artists
Going to be ours not theirs this year
Shut down every single show this year
Collect every single bit of dough this year
Man are going to put out 1.5 1.8
Then were going to blow this year
Say that I was in the zone this year
Blatantly taking it home this year
Prime Minister and godson combined
That means that I’m going for the throne this year

Sooo let me tell you what it is this year
Just won the East End film fest this year
Told the prime-minister she’s a coward this year
Dont give a fuck I’m on it this year
Let me tell you what it is this year
Going to reach a new standard of bar this year
Call hide behind beats bring your balls this year
If you’re lying to the Queen get a scar this year
