Audio Biography

[Intro]
This is my audio biography
Here's my story to you from me
This is my audio biography
Oh

[Verse 1: Cashtastic]
It all started off when I was ten
That's when I first picked up a pen
With intentions of writing my own song
I came a long way, it's been so long
I must've thought I was American back then
Cause I used to rap with an American accent
I was a young boy tryna be my brother
Till I wised up and said that I ain't tryna be another
I remember back when I was in primary school
One of my older brothers, [?]
He had a studio set up in his room upstairs
And I- I just- I just used to be in there with him every single day
Seeing him work, and I just wanted to do what he was doing, man
I just wanted to rap, I just wanted to be him

[Hook: Cashtastic]
This is my audio biography
Take you back to where it all started
I'm talking 'bout before I wrote my first song
I'm talking 'bout before I knew that I'd become an artist
This is my audio biography
And I'm talking before the shows came
I'm talking 'bout how I got to where I am today
From just a little known boy with a road name

[Verse 2: Wiley]
I was 3, I only done it cause my dad done it
My parents didn't raise me cause my nan done it
Every year I've been alive, I knew my talent was
Musical above all, that's how the balance was
Plus I learnt a lot with Slim back in '93
Used to dream of having a team, Spoony and Mikey P
That's why I don't hate Cage and that would never change
Cause he never ever lied to me
I remember, my dad said
"Stay with Nick, Nick's good
Don't stray"
But like, cause I'm my own person
I was always gonna travel a different path to Dizzee
To Nick, to Roll Deep, to anyone
And now, we're all solo

Take you back to where it all started

[Verse 3: Ghetts]
I remember my first lyrics
My friends were my worst critics
Had a few bars, but they preferred Titches
They preferred Sharkeys and they preferred Dylans
Who could blame them? The truth was blatant
I ain't gonna lie, before I had my own style
I was listening to Precious and duplicating
For me, that's where the skippy style originally came from
Now, there ain't an artist I can think of
That I can't lyrically rain on
I've come a long way
From bedroom sex to Marlon, Jermaine and André
Even though the route that was the fastest became the long way
I'm still a legend, off and on the stage
And I thank the Lord, songs of praise
It could've been very different
