This song is Bugzy Malone’s cover and interpretation of Stan by Eminem. Some events in the song are true such as the tatto about learning to dance in the rain shown below.
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 1: Bugzy Malone]
Yo Bugz, I hit you up on Snapchat but you're not replying
I even sent you videos of both my sisters crying
Listening to your song the one you call pain
I went and got a tattoo about learning to dance in the rain
And I watch documentaries on serial killers too
Like you said in MEN so I never found it strange
My girlfriend tells me that I think I'm black because I rap
But I just wanna be like you and talk about back in the day
I was fuming when I heard they sent your cousin back
And when he got there he had an accident and passed away
See I lost a cousin too but I lost mine because of drugs
And it wasn't an accident and he overdosed off cocaine
And I sold him the drugs only cos I listen to you
I want the car, the superbike, the bracelet and the chain
Sometimes I feel guilty but I think if Bugzy done it
Then it proves I can, your biggest fan this is Dan
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 2: Bugzy Malone]
Yo Bugz, you still haven't tweeted back I hope you seen it
I'm buying tickets to all of your concerts and I mean it
I'm doing well now, my Nokia's always ringing
I've had a couple fights so my knuckles are always stinging
I was brought up seeing domestic violence like you did
I've seen my mummy getting beat up too when I was just a kid
And I would run away, sometimes I would slit my wrists
But now I just ignore the pain because you said ignorance is bliss
But why ignore a fan? I know every song you ever wrote
I love it when you do a freestyle just standing on the roads
I listened to your mixtape back when you couldn't trust a soul
And I believe you when you said you seen a demon or a ghost
Cos you say it how it is so I believe it
My girlfriend tells me I should get a job but I don't need it
I just need some silence in my room so I can listen to your tunes
We're gonna chill together soon I can just feel it
Anyway I got some good news my girlfriend's pregnant
I'm gonna call him Bugzy so he's named after a legend
We need to link up so I can bring you these presents
I brought them to your show on September the eleventh
It's like you wouldn't look me in the eye, I kept on shouting
I was in the front row climbing up the railing
I waited afterwards for three long hours, it was raining
But you'd already left cos on your Snapchat you was training
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 3: Bugzy Malone]
Yo mister Bugzy I'm too bad to message fans
I just wanted you to know that I got caught with couple grand and ten zeds
Which means that I'm looking at remand and maybe ten
Well that's what the solicitor said
Forget the feds and just know that I don't really care that you don't message back
I just think that's not really fair but you've never been real G
And I'm seeing things clear
I don't know if it's the drugs I've taken but I feel weird
I had an argument with the misses, I'd never hit a girl
But she couldn't understand that you was the main thing in my world
I didn't mean it man, I ended up kicking her down the stairs
She said the baby's stop moving and then bursted into tears
Now she's lying in the boot knocked out
We could have been like family but you messed up now
And I'm sitting here sending you these videos on Snap
But you never open them it's like you stabbed me in the back
I'm not supposed to drive I'm on a ban
But I've been drinking this Patron
And now I'm doing 120 and I can barely see the road
Wait is that the Police? I can see some blue lights
Will you just be quiet! I will drive us off the side
C'mon Bugz all I ever want is a reply
You knew you was my idol, I swore you was the guy
How would you feel if it was your fault that I died
Wait the police are getting closer let me concentrate because I'm too young to die
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse 4: Bugzy Malone]
Yo Dan, I'm sorry that I didn't see your tweets
I've been doing shows and videos I'm rushed off my feet
I get thousands of Snapchats everyday
I'm not being ignorant I always send replies out when I'm free
Now I didn't watch every single video you sent cos there was loads
I must have watched a good 20% the tattoo's cold
You really pulled my heartstrings when I seen your sisters cry
Without people like you none of my music would have sold
You said your girl's having a boy I wish you all the best of luck
I always thought I would be a good dad from what I've seen growing up
I wanted to be different cos my dad was a prick
I could never hit a woman, I think that's twisted
And I know the past hurts but you should never slit your wrists
You don't have to be black to rap just take a look at Slim Shady
What happened to your cuz was crazy
I don't think you should be selling drugs now you're having a baby
I can't believe I didn't see you at the show
I wouldn't have been able to chill but had the Devil said hello
And it's mad your name's Dan
Cos I've been watching videos on Instagram
About a boy that took a chase and lost control and the car span
And in the back they found a girl and she was pregnant with a kid
And in the car they found a phone and what they found on it was mad
Cos it turns out he recorded the whole thing on his Snap, what a fool
Come to think about it though, his name was, it was you
[Chorus: Shola Ama]
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window, and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'll all be gray, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
