Dizzee Rascal Dream Lyrics

How am i gunna pull this off man without sounding daft.
This is too sensible for me man
How u gunna have a dream come true ?

[verse 1]

I used to dream about crazy little things like fame,
In the days hanging outside the off licence,
We used to run around the streets reckless with no shame,
Mainly up to no good a whole world of nonsense,
And when the girls would walk by we would try to catch their eye,
And if they aint a show face we would act immature, (who does she think she is man)
Had a thing for southern hackney girls since i was a kid,
A couple west girls on my radar i was raw,
And i was dead sure that i knew it all,
The whole world got my attitude i nearly blew it all,
I found it a real big struggle gettin through it all,
I swear i didn't wanna listen cos i sure didn't care,
Not knowing for reality that i'd have to prepare,
Cos money don't grow on no stick, well its rare,
me and bro was looking less and less the lick,
Plus i was growing up, life was looking as a scare

[chorus]

I've been talking talking happy talk,
Talk bout things you like to do,
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gunna have a dream come true

[verse 2]

I used to love music it was like my hidden hobbie,
But i couldn't get on on local radio back then,
So i went to north london and trekked to tot-tottenham to be precise,
And got some air time on heat fm,
And then it escalated i was getting ratings here and there,
And carried on untill eventually i was everywhere,
I started doing all the hot spots ministry ceasers palace p area time and envy,
I did the grim and the glam,
I done the poor and the plush,
I didnt hang around i wanted my money in a rush,
Mind frame in the studio at this stage,
No time to chat i didnt wanna n-gage,
I found myself a new hustle it was beautiful,
A none like the one before a bit more suitable,
The more challenging it got the more i fought it,
Made an album over 100,000 people bought it
Thank you

[chorus]

[verse 3]

to all the youngsters cotchin in the stairs in the flats,
With the superstar soccerlings beckham in the makings,
U can go far if you put your mind to it,
Your a star, dont wait to be told, just do it,
Try and keep school in your plans dont be worrying about your mans,
They'll be there in the end if their real, if the ain't
Dont be making no effort to impress cos you're fine the way you are just do what you feel,
Young babymothers yo i got your back aswell,
Young babyfathers hold it down for your girl,
I aint trying to preach but for what its worth,
That kids the next generation planet earth,
Big shout to the world cos i've been all around,
And when im gone im always thinking about my home town,
Im from the LDN theres no forgetting that,
And the big UK i stay reppin that
wha!
[chorus]

You love that
dont tell me you dont love that
