Jay Sean
Intro (Balcony Skit)
[Intro]
Ay yo Rish, I'm ready man
Whenever you are lets go
Yeah yeah, lets go
[Verse 1]
Yo, so this is it, finally, years of dreamin' left behind me
Cuz what they said would never happen, happened when they signed me
I'm still brown, I'm still the way I was when they declined me
Couldn't find me a niche, or peeps who wanna buy me
Suddenly singing super seeded all the years of rhyming
Bend it like Beckham, Jay-Z's in fashion, look at the timing
Put rap behind me and made R'n'B as my primary
Got a major deal but couldn't help the feel inside of me
A touch of rivalry, a battle with the other side of me
Did I turn my back on the person who I inspired to be?
This is me against myself so take a ride with me
Rish, Rish hold up, hold up...
[Skit]
Label executive: "Jay, Jay what in God's name are you doing?!"
Jay Sean: "I'm recording my intro man, what's up? Why you screwing?"
Label executive: "I told you before, UK hip-hop doesn't sell
Write songs about girls, coz that'll do well
My songs none of this hip-hop nonsense
People don't care about music that's too concious
Now switch off all this rubbish and just sing
Hmm, now how the hell do you stop this bloody thing"
