It could be a Cartier or a Rolex,
Presidential right to a Bvlgari
High-tech guests you can tick by the heart-beat,
And you can probably take a pretty chick from a party,
But guess what,
Time don't wait for no man,
Upside down 'til no sand,
It don't slow down,
It's goin, goin 'til it's gone,
It feels right but you notice when it's gone,
So why can't we all get along,
It's peace whenever I turn the mic. on,
It's beef whenever I turn to violence,
It's deep in the east,
I'm deep in the beats,
Cos' I wanna sleep on the beach,
And see my nephew see 23,
I easily pleased?
Erm, I just wanna clean up [bad word] 
And, throw a party for the whole street,
Hardly aksking for a whole leap,
It's deeper than music, it's a movement,
Now sing along to it!
 [bad word] ]
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
But sometimes you have to fight hustle grind [bad word] 
And you get no peace and too much trouble no range rover with rims on,
Put your headphones on and sing along,
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
If you just get by the pence and ain't got no money for the rent,
When your self motivations gone put your headphones on and sing along,
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,

From the east and the west [bad word] 
And we'll all feel better tomorrow,

Look time's of the essence,
Rhyming's a weapon,
Metal detectors and lines at the entrance,
See I made the news when my gig got pulled,
Same show next year, no violence at all,
But no more rap raves and academies,
But I'd like to see them shut down McD's,
Cos' they shoot' em!,
Nah, major look,
You're the slave to the page of the checkbook,
Did lose a few g's to the police,
Just to put a show on for the fans to see,
So, if you're listening, I'll spit the lyricking,
NWA-style and start killin' em,
Nah, I just wanna make them see,
Spit my verses say my p's,
Get off my back it'll make my sleep,
[bad word] of a lot easier this week,
Cos' time at the present,
Life is a lesson,
I'm still learning, trying for perfection,
But still givin' you fire on the record,
The vinyl's like Ryu's fire moves,
Yes, I've got the road,
The world's my oyster I want the globe,
It's the d-d day that you already know,
It's K-K-A-N to the O,
If Mumsy's hardly at home,
You and your bro share the same clothes,
Work ain't done cos' your babysitting,
Feel free sing along to the riddim,
 [bad word] ]
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
If you grew up without no dad,
And enerything you want you can't have,
Lost love ones and you really miss em'
Feel free sing along to the riddim,
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
Just feel free sing along to the riddim,
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala,
