this is my demo - sway uk lyrics

[intro: little derek]
ladies and gentleman
welcome to the end of the beginning
my name is sway
a.k.a little derek
and right now
i’m about to take you
to the very beginning
before the after
prior to the present
before the hype
before the magazines
before the buzz
and before the mixtapes
back to the blood, sweat and tears
growing up i had too much on my mind
i needed a way to get all of this cr-p out of my head
so i chose music
this is my beginning
this is my introduction
this is my dream
listen very carefully
this is my demo

[verse 1: sway]
it’s the arrival of dcypha
live from this london dungeon (underground)
that’s where i’ve been puttin’ it down for my people on the
north side (get up)
east side (get up)
west side (get up)
south side (get up)
inside (yeah)
outside (yeah)
get up, get up, get up, get up
un-der…(underground)
that’s what i’m saying yeah
and for years, that’s how long i waited here
and i’m prepared
back then people never wanted to hear me though
that’s when i had to shoot a little video
now i’m giving you the album, here we go!
ever since i was a little kid about 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10
i always wanted to be bigger than big ben
but dreams can easily come to an end
when your living in the big l.o.n.d.o.n
the city that never sleeps so how do we dream?
little kids forced to think like men
and the big smoke just gets you lean
to get a good start in life
i took a run up instead of picking a gun up
i picked up a pen and now i shoot for the sky
run up on the clouds
that’s why i got one up on you clowns
now i’m becoming the talk of the town
just yesterday i was walking around
trying to figure out how i’m gonna come up on the crown
now i’m in the middle when the gathering crowds are saying:

(sway) the beginning is still in my memory
(sway) i was sitting in my school -ssembly
(sway) didn’t listen what the teachers telling me
(sway) i was thinking “will i live to seventy?”
(sway) and if i die will the world remember me?
(sway) who’s my friends and who’s my enemies?
(sway) who will love and who will envy me?
(sway) now i’m ready for whatever is meant to be
(sway [x20])
i put my blood sweat and tears in this music
i will not fail
you’re listening to ”this is my demo”

[verse 2: sway]
once upon a time in a place called harring-y
lived this average african black kid trying to get up in this (industry)
flat 23, brook road he would practice rapping rapidly
this rap mc had a lot to say with a little time so he rapped quick
not to say he never had friends but he never had many
never had a penny to access the (industry)
05/09/82: flew back to the mother land where he grew
flew back to the other land he was two
english boy with an african accent
05/09/92: using the music rooms at his school
recording riddims then he rid ’em with riddles
now he’s an african boy with an english accent
now he’s 22 and you’re listening to
his first official lp debut
and i got the energy (uh)
i’m not just another n.i.g.(uh)
i’m still hungry and i’m eag (uh)
and i’m more ready than i’ve ever been (uh)
because i’ve been persuading this thing from school
since commodore, atari and amiga
remember me sir?
i ain’t in it to be number two
five albums that’s what i’m gonna do
five albums then i’m done, then i’m through
the nme’s (uhhh) can bite the dust
this is all before the hype, the buzz
this is all before the wife, the l-st
the lies, the thugs with knives and guns
it’s entertainment for you but it’s life for us
it’s time to buzz my n-ggas

{left side islamic prayer}
{right side christian prayer}
our father who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
thy kingdom come
thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven
give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our tresp-sses
as we forgive those who tresp-ss against us
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil
for thine is the kingdom
and the power
and the glory
for ever and ever
amen

[verse 3: sway]
i’ve got angels on my nokia
i’m out here and i got no fear
no foes or no phobias
so all those plotting with the obeahs
and voodoo there’s no hope for ya
hang yourself i got rope for ya
i said there’s no hope for ya
hang yourself i got rope for ya
cause god would never let the devil harm any g’s
and when i’m in the dark read psalms 23
i’m trying to do good on the path for the beast
a place where the bad boys are the police
trapped in between the imam and the priest
and i can’t see
if i’m gonna be in the church with a cross around my neck
or in a mosque with a qur’an and a palm full of beads
