[Verse 1:]
|
They say "Skepta, you must get loads of girls"
|
The music's picked up now
|
Tell em like J2k, nahh, it's all switched up now
|
She thinks that if she talks to me they'll call
|
Her a groupie behind her back now
|
So she stands far but close enough for her pictures
|
To have me in the background
|
I'm kinda used to it now
|
They say it's all part and parcel
|
And if it's this much for me
|
Imagine what's it's like for Curtis and Marshall
|
I wanna go hard
|
But my body keeps telling me to take it easy
|
So I sit here watching a DVD logo bounce around the TV
|
My life ended ages ago, now it's all a dream
|
Sitting here, thinking how this thing all started
|
From What D'Ya Mean, What D'Ya Mean
|
Now that I'm getting that paper I heard a couple man want me dead
|
So I went out bought a Gucci hat and put money on my own head
|
I forever hear people talking like I don't know about street
|
Fake gangstas must think I spent my music money on chocolate and sweets
|
You're looking for beef in London? Nah it's not hard to find it
|
But I'm not scared of a gun, it's all about the man behind it
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You wanna make it big
|
You think you like what you see
|
You wanna make it big
|
You saw me go from the bottom to the top
|
Now you wanna be me
|
|
You wanna make it big
|
This famous life make people wanna wish they were 6 feet under
|
But not me
|
See when I made it big
|
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger

[Verse 2: Skepta]
|
Sometimes I think that I think too much
|
I start thinking about thinking
|
Then I start to get paranoid
|
I think my windows need tinting
|
They say why work all this time
|
To get famous Joseph
|
Just to wear sunglasses
|
Cause you don't wanna get noticed
|
Once in a while I take em off
|
And I'm like "arrr, that's too bright"
|
Because I sleep all day then I wake up at night
|
Then I phone my girl, see if she wants to link
|
She said she got work in the morning
|
So what do I do, I go out for a drink
|
I spend all my time in clubs
|
It's starting to feel like home
|
I don't wanna sit in the VIP but sometimes I just wanna be left alone
|
I hate when I'm in a bad mood and I see all my supporters vibes'n
|
And I apologies to anyone I've taking a pic with when I weren't smiling
|
They say "don't you remember me I met you at Party In The Park"
|
Babe, I can't even where I parked my car in the car park
|
Now she hates me and everytime she hears my song she's changing the station
|
I swear the human brain weren't designed to deal with all this information
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
You still wanna make it big
|
You think you like what you see
|
You wanna make it big
|
You saw me go from the bottom to the top
|
Now you wanna be me
|
|
You wanna make it big
|
This famous life can make some people wish they were 6 feet under
|
But not me
|
You see when I made it big
|
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
|

|
[Bridge:]
|
Listen tomorrow isn't promised to us so
|
You have to enjoy today
|
Cause the game is like a box of roses
|
Cause when they're done with the chocalate
|
The wrapper gets thrown away
|
I said the wrapper gets thrown away
|
|
[Verse 3: Chipmunk]
|
When you're shooting for your targets
|
And it's making you a target
|
You die before you live, I wish you warned me when I started
|
We're going full hearted, R.I.P the half wits
|
Cause now we're 6 feet under the top spot fuck a casket
|
Bastards, don't we make the lifestyle look appealing
|
Independant names and chains
|
Skepta are we dreaming?
|
Nobody could season, this track couldn't reach him
|
Cause now I'm on the otherside of that glass ceiling
|
The underdogs are off the leash
|
Eh Joseph, pass the muzzles and the leads
|
The games full of demons, let's get this armhouse on
|
Everyone wants handouts but I ain't stretch armstrong
|
We've come so far as emcee's
|
Round of applause or bust it off just make it clap please
|
I'm so past just trying to be the favourite
|
You're nobody until you got some haters
|
But you still wanna make it BIG!
|
