I Used To Dream About Crazy Little Things Like Fame

In The Days Hangin Out-side The Off Licence

We Used To Run Around The Streets Reckless With No Shame

Mainly Upto No Good A Whole World Of Nonsence

And When The Girls Walked By We Would Try To Catch Their Eye

And If They Didnt Show Face We Would Act Immature



West Girls, Hackney Girls Since I Was A Cleo

A Couple Of West Girls On My Radar I Was Raw

And I Was Dead Sure That I Knew It All

Whole World Against Me Acted True I Nearly Blew It All

Found It A Real Big Struggle Gettin Through It All I Swear

I Didnt Wanna Listen Cos I Sure Didnt Care

Not Knowing From Reality Id Have To Prepare

Cos Money Dont Grow On No Stick When Its Rare

Bein World Was Lookin Less N Less A Lick

Plus I Was Growin Up, Life Was Lookin A Scare



(chorus)



I Used To Love Music, It Was Like My Hidden Hobby

But I Couldnt Get On Local Radio Back Then

So I Went To North London, A Trot To Tottentom To Be Precise

And Got Sum Airtime On EFM

Then It Escalated I Was Gettin Rated Here And There

And Carragot Till Eventually I Was Everywhere

I Started Doin All The Hotspots, Ministry, Ceasers

Palace, P Area, Time And Envy

I Did The Grim And The Glamour Did The Poor And The Plush

I Didnt Hang Around I Wanted My Money In A Rush

Man Frame In The Studio At This Stage

No Time To Chat I Didnt Wanna Engage

I Found Myself A New Hussle It Was Beautiful

And Not Like The One Before A Bit More Suitable

The More Challenging It Got The More I Thought It

Made An Album Over Hundred Thousand People Bout It

Thank You



(chorus)



To All The Young Girls Cotchin In The Stairs In The Flats

To The Superstar Soccalings, Beckhams In The Makins

You Can Go Far If U Put Your Mind To It, Your A Star

Dont Wait--to Be Told Just Do It

Try To Keep School In Your Plans Dont Worry Bout Your Mans

They'll Be There In The End If There Real

If They Aint Dont Be Making No Effort To Impress

Cos You'll Find They Way You Are Just Do What You Feel
