Lyrics

How am I gunna pull this off man without sounding daft
This is too sensible for me man
How u gunna have a dream come true ?

[Verse 1]

I used to dream about crazy little things like fame
In the days hanging outside the off licence
We used to run around the streets reckless with no shame
Mainly up to no good a whole world of nonsense
And when the girls would walk by we would try to catch their eye
And if they aint a show face we would act immature, (who does she think she is man)
Had a thing for southern hackney girls since I was a kid
A couple west girls on my radar I was raw
And I was dead sure that I knew it all
The whole world got my attitude I nearly blew it all
I found it a real big struggle gettin through it all
I swear I didn't wanna listen cos I sure didn't care
Not knowing for reality that I'd have to prepare
Cos money don't grow on no stick, well its rare
Me and bro was looking less and less the lick
Plus I was growing up, life was looking as a scare

Chorus

I've been talking talking happy talk
Talk bout things you like to do
You got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gunna have a dream come true

[Verse 2]

I used to love music it was like my hidden hobbie
But I couldn't get on on local radio back then
So I went to north london and trekked to tot-tottenham to be precise
And got some air time on heat fm
And then it escalated I was getting ratings here and there
And carried on untill eventually I was everywhere
I started doing all the hot spots ministry ceasers palace p area time and envy
I did the grim and the glam
I done the poor and the plush
I didnt hang around I wanted my money in a rush
Mind frame in the studio at this stage
No time to chat I didnt wanna n-gage
I found myself a new hustle it was beautiful
A none like the one before a bit more suitable
The more challenging it got the more I fought it
Made an album over 100,000 people bought it
Thank you

Chorus

[Verse 3]

To all the youngsters cotchin in the stairs in the flats
With the superstar soccerlings beckham in the makings
U can go far if you put your mind to it
Your a star, dont wait to be told, just do it
Try and keep school in your plans dont be worrying about your mans
They'll be there in the end if their real, if the ain't
Dont be making no effort to impress cos you're fine the way you are just do what you feel
Young babymothers yo I got your back aswell
Young babyfathers hold it down for your girl
I aint trying to preach but for what its worth
That kids the next generation planet earth
Big shout to the world cos I've been all around
And when im gone im always thinking about my home town
Im from the ldn theres no forgetting that
And the big uk I stay reppin that
Wha!
Chorus

You love that
Dont tell me you dont love that
