This is the story all about how, my life got flip turned upside down.
lyrics
I'm calling up my mother like you'd never guess what happened
I made it to the prime time tele for my rapping
had the hunger in my belly that developed into snacking
I can pay her back at last for every lunch that she was packing
snap,
camera's are flashing in the back,
in the green room with pamela, we're chatting bout my raps
she was like who are you, I told her I was Christian,
like that's my name I'm not referring to religion
as a kid I never prayed of getting any type of fame
now I see the inside, it reminds me of a game
got an message from the Ellen show, I was like well hello
they told me that if Oprah called, then I should go and let them know
WTF,
I'm in the trouble with press, when they call me on a Friday
and I'm a drunken mess,
like can you repeat the questions, we were at the bar
cos my mates need refreshments,
you get one shot when it comes to the career
when you hit that, it turns to tequilas and cheers
like one for Hickling, another one for Hudson
he leant me the fashion for the ITV Production
how mightily I function with microphone for clutching
aint it something I got some flow
And they say I got some flow
and they say I got some flow
Girls from my school days are popping out the wood work,
flirted in design class, forgot about the wood work,
they were never keen though, time has turned the table
so be careful who you write off in the future, that's a fable
I am able to remember rhyming in an empty building
Now I switched it up and hit like 37 million
children saying their teacher can rap
but its more like their rapper can teach
Preach
The circus of the media impersonating jesters
I was 5000-1 like Leicester, it's best to check and do some research
I came straight from the conference, made you reverse
this aint knee jerk
this is team work
this is how it looks when you put your dream first
so if I die before I wake, and nobody knows
just say I did it all for my bro's
They say I got some flow
(sample)
Quicken the pace and give you a taste
of lyrics in haste, truly
ripping the beats, ridiculous speed
delivered indeed, smoothly
showing on time
flowing a rhyme, blowing your mind, sue me
if you are late, to what I can make
will you relate, to me
sicker than most, I live up to boasts
and spit what I know, cooly,
breaking the rules, escaping the school
and playing to you, nightly
brightly in the sky, my stars are starting to shine
here's a lesson in the art of a rhyme,
they say I got some flow
50 cent just admitted he's a fan,
can you blame me for feeling like the man,
It's 2016, get likes or die trying
hate it or love it, I probably die writing
I can't buy diamonds, i'd rather that my kids shine
and rap like GP's queues, give you sick lines
No time for window shopping gotta see students,
more class for my low grades, there my G-Units
I'm foolish trying to mess around with celebrity
fake is something I could never be,
so offer me the deal and do I bite like suarez,
or do I stay true to my team like Mahrez
and Jamie, so even though the radio play me
I aint selling out no how matter how much you pay me
This aint bake off, I aint got the dough
but, hey, they say I got some flow
