Grime MC Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Intrigued by the beat
Touched by the words
Homework studied every noun every verb
Nerd way before you heard these verses
Used to be so good, so perfect
Intelligent, straight A student

Move in the blazer on through the corridor
Shine every rave and play commodore 64 still
From 4 til 6 on the weekend radios on
Video killed that radio star
Channel U heavy rotation, Sky remote control set as the favourite
Start wearing hoodies, in with the bullies
Like fuck the education face it
I ain’t ever gunna get to drive a Bentley from a degree
So I got to be an MC

[Hook]
Hi I’m the grime MC
I got my jeans down low, hat over the hood like Tinchy
Hi I’m the grime MC
I got my tag in my hat like GH and I got a mixtape it’s called the gime MC
‘Cos that’s what I am, I’m a cliché
Ain’t you seen Base these days
I copy everything I see on TV
It’s easy, I can be a grime MC
Hi I’m the grime MC
I got my jeans down low, hat over the hood like Tinchy
Hi I’m the grime MC
I got my tag in my hat like GH and I got a mixtape it’s called the gime MC
‘Cos that’s what I am, I’m a cliché
Ain’t you seen Base these days
I copy everything I see on TV
It’s easy, I can be a grime MC
[Verse 2]
Hi I’m the grime MC, I don’t give a fuck
Ignorant but still I don’t give a fuck
Boast about shit that ain’t even cool
When kids close their eyes MC’s pull the wool
But please don’t take me for simple
I ain’t one of these MC’s
Indeed, I shout when I’m angry
Swear when I’m rowdy
I’m top that nigga can’t fuck with my family
2 shots make a nigga drop like Bambi
But I ain’t no fool been schooled by the elders
Full of no rules, and yeah I go school but I don’t wear shoes
16 and I’m a known yute
And all the chicks love me for my vocals
And I’m living a life already just wait till I get my time on tele
[Hook 2]

[Verse 3]
Hi I’m the grime MC give me a deal
I know there’s a way so give me a will
And I can make you rich so give me a mill
‘Cos my mixtape’s selling like hotcakes still
I hope I don’t come across arrogant
But the whole of your roster I'm badder than
I'm a hustler I don't need management
And I negotiate quite old fashioned
Does my gun on the table bother you?
Is she coming with my glass of orange juice?
Long story short I ain't Kano or Dizzee
And I can win a MOBO with ??? it's easy
Make niggas go wild when the riddim low
All I need is Crystal in the video
Merc for Dad and 4 for mummy
And we can make loads of money
We can take over the chart with my bars in one week
I just need you to fund me
Man fuck a business card for a trip this far
You'll never hear another nigga spit this hard
Grime till I die
Rhyming I'm fine
But I don't get bookings no more nobody hires
Write till I'm rich
Fight till I'm tired
I don't need no backup plan I'm a survivor
Fuck a record deal dem man are getting ripped off
I'd rather stay underground majors can get lost
I'm keeping it real my pockets empty
But fuck you niggas I'm a Grime MC
