Old Skool Grime

Oi, listen... Sounds of the old skool grime Right now lemme press rewind And take you back with the nostalgic vibes And remind you of the golden times Ok now where should I start How about you all fix up look sharp Dizzee Rascal, first grime artist to chart There's no doubt that he made his mark And not far behind, obviously there was Wiley Treddin' on thin ice, so deadly but so lively Those eskimo vibes, they were so icy Around the same time, Tinie was hooked on his wifey Sounds of the old skool grime I'm part of the new generation But half of these new skool numpties Don't know that eskibeat or that eskimo Or that boy in da corner flow Or Kano on his p's and q's on home sweet home It's that legendary old skool grime One thing that we'll always love the most Channel U, lord of the mics, risky roadz Bashy - Chupa Chups mixtape Chipmunk - League of my own At 16 years old, when ice kid was more than cold When everybody had Sony Ericson walkmans And Motorola flip phones... It was all Roll Deep and Boy Better Know N Dubz blew up then cleaned up at the mobos Around the same time I was probably on Facebook getting poked Or maybe I was on MSN Cause that was the main place to buss those jokes (Ha!) Sounds of the old skool grime (Yeah!) Sounds of the old skool grime (What!) Sounds of the old skool grime The beginning of a genre that made the whole UK come alive! When Tinchy was a star in the hood When Devlin had tales from the crypt When JME got famous And Skepta had his greatest hits Now half of these kids Think Skepta's a newcomer to this shit And when it comes to beef They only know about Bugzy and Chip Of course they don't know about G-H-E-T-T-O Against P Money, they were taking the piss Every diss was deserving a reload And my first ever show was witnessing Ghetts Turn into beast mode... The way he sets the crowd on fire That shit should be illegal! Yo, you gotta pay the respect Where respect is due To all the UK veterans, you have to salute For doing what they've done and consistently making moves It's all about progression and always wanting to improve Yeah, sounds of the old skool grime Nothin but nostalgic vibes from these golden times This track is a flashback of that old skool grime The beginning of a genre that made the whole UK come alive
