Grime Wave Lyrics by Wiley

Grime Wave

2008

[Intro: Wiley]
Yo
It's June the 4th
Album day
Grime Wave
It's the start of something new
I learnt something today, you know?
Music's very powerful, trust me (What do you mean grime ain't working for you?)

[Verse 1: Wiley]
It seems like a long ting, might be a marching orders
I'm grime, I march past the borders
Mic up corners, dad says I shouldn't
If I didn't know how to, then I wouldn't
Part of a grime wave, on a crime wave that, no one's stopping
It's my day, why say it ain't? You'll be lying
We don't listen if anybody say grime's dying
It's like they praying and spying, in war I'm spraying and flying, I proved it
My olders set a few paces, put a big barrier up, and I moved it
Move to the press school days, took music
Back to my life, like now I'm moving
Please excuse me people, I like to win, I don't like losing

[Chorus: Wiley]
I'm part of a grime wave in London city
They don't want us to have grime raves
Gotta make sure grime stays, one day you'll see grime pays
Grime wave, in London city
They don't want us to have grime raves
Gotta make sure grime stays
One day you'll see grime pays

[Verse 2: Desperado]
We get money and flip the scripts
[?] stay on a grind, I always follow legit money
Yeah I follow nine, [?] all of the [?] gully
You're falling behind, but you're not follow the time fix up
You should be rapping and gunning, to chat chicks up
Instead you're on the road all the time chatting chicks up
It's not about that cuz, gotta get yourself out of that cuz
Gotta get yourself fixed up
And I bet you any money that I will last
I come in and attack the track, with the real bars
I come in and attack the track, fall back, 'cause they're all crap
General status yeah, real star
So you don't like them 'cause you feel us?
And I spit like this 'cause it's real cuz
That's why the record labels wanna milk us
Nah, fuck that, I [?] real bars

[Chorus: Wiley, Messy]
I'm part of a grime wave in London city
They don't want us to have grime raves
Gotta make sure grime stays, one day you'll see grime pays
Grime wave, in London city (Ahh)
They don't want us to have grime raves (Yes)
Gotta make sure grime stays (Mess, uh)
One day you'll see grime pays (Check)

[Verse 2: Messy]
Man I stepped in it nuts (Nuts)
Mess, I've been coming
Been blessed with the buzz, now I'm stepping it up (Trust)
Been recognised as one of the best on the dub (Believe)
I'm the best in this, trust (Uh)
And yeah I've been slipping 'cause I ain't invested in much (Nah)
But I know that my levels are up (Uh)
Among shining the veteran trust
I'm a [?] with the [?]
And I'll bust a nigga to the crunch, uh (Jheez)
It's nuts, 'cause them stars in the game seem like they'd be better a sub (Haha)
Me in the games a must (Must), I'm levels above (Above)
You wouldn't of left [?] a sub
My feets at the pedal and I'm ready to duck (I'm gone)
Uh, I'm [?]
And if this was an [?] fight, I'll beat up the track (Track)
'Cause the ref said less is enough

[Chorus: Wiley]
I'm part of a grime wave in London city
They don't want us to have grime raves
Gotta make sure grime stays, one day you'll see grime pays
Grime wave, in London city
They don't want us to have grime raves
Gotta make sure grime stays
One day you'll see grime pays
