[Intro: D-Power]
Let's go back
Listen, Power
[Verse 1: D-Power]
Let's go back in the day
I'm talking back in the day
Before I used to MC
When D-Power Diesle was just a DJ, and
I was on a jungle vibe
Selling records from 9 to 5
I used to go cool school, and to [?]
Just to hear Shabba and Skibba buss mic, then
I lost the vibe, then UKG come alive
I'm talking Munchie, talking EZ, Heartless and all them guys
Then linked up with G, and then came 92.3
And then came Wiley, then came Dizzee, Kano and D Double E
And grime was alive, it was hard but we still survived
I know music evolves with time
But I thank you, Lord, that grime's still alive
And I buss the mic, now I'm a Lord of the Mic
Now I've linked up with Modestep, 2012 is a whole next hype
[Verse 2: Jammin]
Alright, where do I start?
Let me come back, let me go from the start
My life without music's a thorn in the heart
This marriage couldn't dearly depart
It's like taking tea from a shark
English boy, Jamaican heritage
Revival, listening to Morgan Heritage
UKG, Heartless Crew
Nasty Crew, Déjà Vu
I grew up on ragga, bingi drums
Listening to Abba, [?], love punani bad like Shabba
Rasta man [?] when I was rude
And all I wanted was a Jacob's cracker
Bob Marley, Gwen Stefani
James Brand, H-Town
For you, they may hardly relate
But for me they're all in the same playground
And it all comes together like rain and cold weather
This is my Darwin theory
Not like humans and apes
It's more like garage on grime
Then you got dubstep, I want a mosh pit when I hear some Modestep
And I party like a rockstar, a rockstar
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Verse: Frisco]
Yo is big Frisco
Evolution Theory
[Verse 3: Frisco]
From as long as I remember
I've always had music on my agenda (Yes)
Number one contender (Yes)
Lyrical skeng around-a my centre
Fam, I used to listen to Call FM
Black market and [?] hyper
Them times there, I was a moped rider
Couple a years later, lyrical sniper
I was a raver, me and the man dem
Raving everywhere, going on horrid
Heartless, Pay As You Go, So Solid
To be a MC, I was oh so on it
After years of determination
I'm part of a world known organization
Undefeated, no other team ain't
Fucking with the Boy Better Know formation
I'm out of this world like an alien
Me and my paper's adjacent
I was broke, everybody loved me
Get paid, now man are hating, it's blatant
I'm sick, understatement
Me and Jammin put work in a basement
I used to have one pair of beat up Nikes
Now I've got countless trainers
[Verse 4: Jammer]
I've been doing this thing since TDK
Now it's all laptops, CDJs
Boy Better Know, that's BBK
Heartless, [?]
Them man there was leading the way
Skibba, Shabba, jungle and ragga
That's what I was on back in the day
But I still represent the sounds of the UK
Little bit of dubstep, little bit of grime
On my 16 bar, no cordless mic
[?] on our shows, [?]
Me and my man dem all in white
And it all started from the nasty crew
Kano, Starkey, Déjà Vu
Doing this from 2-double-O-2
138 track and dynamite boom
I don't wanna tell them what to do
I roll deep with the nasty crew
Pay As You Go, party crew
DJ Ez passing through
Romeo and Harvey, MC Starkey
Tell your uncle and auntie
It's all mad when we come to the party
