Little Derek

[Hook: x2]
Little Derek's doing okay (yeah)
Little Derek's doing fine (fine)
Little Derek's doing cool (cool)
You know how we do

[Verse 1]
Stepped out my house I'm feelin fresh and brand new
Olu did the trim, Rihanna done the hairdo
And everything I wear's new
Maharishi Jacket, Puma top
Box-fresh jeans and Nike cam boots
Sprayed a little Versace dreamer on me too
So every girls who pass is like oo-oooh
Police don't pull us over like woo-woo
Cuz their kids watch MTV and channel U

But life ain't always been fine like baby blue
Cuz when you do UK rap you're number two
Cuz the USA ain't giving us space to break troo
So I'm on the grind trying to pioneer a breakthrough
Gotta keep the punters happy, to tango it takes two
And it seems like I'm the rapper the people take to
I've never had alot, with what I've got I've made do
And now I'm blowin up in this biatch like move-move-move

[Hook: x2]
Little Derek's doing okay (yeah)
Little Derek's doing fine (fine)
Little Derek's doing cool (cool)
You know how we do

[Verse 2]
Step out the ride I'm feeling nice and quite fly
I'm trying to reach the top I see the top is quite high
Steady on my grind, tryin to get my face up in the source
So I keep by faith up in the boss
Up in the bright white sky
Getting calls from these record label bosses like hi
And I've been inside their offices
And listened to their promises
But no-one's made me offers yet that I could not deny
And I been making profits of this my mix tapes fly
Life ain't always been pretty like nah
On the north side of the city where its gritty like pie
We did what we had to done to get by
Hoping not to get caught up in no silly drive-by
Little Derek wrote lyrics while the others got high
And he ended up in HMV instead of HMP
Cuz street life could only end one way
Your friend crying on the scene like why, why, why?

[Hook: x2]
Little Derek's doing okay (yeah)
Little Derek's doing fine (fine)
Little Derek's doing cool (cool)

[Verse 3]
(Baby Blue)
Knowin' real fame
That's what I used to dream about
That everyone would know my name
And they would scream it out
Knowing my song words and sing along too
And I would walk down the street and hear blue, blue, blue
My video's rotating
So I got these execs debating
About whether I'm taken
And these RnB guys is asking the same thing
Calling up my phone, wondering whether I'm dating
I turn my passion to career how could I lose out?
Quit my nine to five so I don't have to sell shoes now
My CDs are moving
That's the route that I'm choosing
So I got to make it through, through, through
Little Rachel used to look up to the sky to
Analyse the planets and wonder if I could shine too
So now they ask how I'm doing I say
Little Rachel's doing okay

(Sway)
(Okay)

[Hook: x2]
Little Derek's doing okay (yeah)
Little Derek's doing fine (fine)
Little Derek's doing cool (cool)
