[00:39.45] Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
[00:41.93] Playing a different show
[00:43.08] Every night in front of a new crowd
[00:44.21] That's new now, ciao, seems that life is great now
[00:46.65] See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
[00:49.20] And I can't, no, I won`t hush
[00:51.37] I'll say the words that make you blush
[00:53.90] I'm gonna sing this now
[00:57.81] See, I'm true, my songs are where my heart is
[01:00.05] I'm like glue, I stick to other artists
[01:02.26] I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
[01:04.24] Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
[01:06.61] See, I'm real, I do it all, it's all me
[01:08.90] I'm not fake, don't ever call me lazy
[01:10.96] I won't stay put, give me the chance to be free
[01:13.24] Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me
[01:15.67] Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
[01:18.14] You need me, man, I don't need you
[01:20.52] You need me, man, I don't need you
[01:22.69] You need me, man, I don't need you
[01:24.86] You need me, man, I don't need you
[01:27.03] You need me, man, I don't need you
[01:29.36] You need me, man, I don't need you (at all)
[01:31.52] You need me
[01:32.98] I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse, hell
[01:35.70] Don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell
[01:37.83] Call yourself a singer-writer you're just bluffing
[01:40.01] Your names on the credits and you didn't write nothing
[01:42.45] I sing fast, I know that all my shit's cool
[01:44.73] I will blast and I didn't go to Brit School
[01:46.90] I came fast with the way I act, right
[01:49.13] I can't last if I'm smoking on a crack pipe
[01:51.39] And I won't be a product of my genre
[01:53.21] My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
[01:55.68] Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
[01:57.80] Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
[02:00.74] And musically I'm demonstrating
[02:02.31] When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
[02:04.48] Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
[02:06.77] A young singer-writer like a Gabriella Cilmi
[02:09.44] Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
[02:11.65] You need me, man, I don't need you
[02:13.83] You need me, man, I don't need you
[02:16.04] You need me, man, I don't need you
[02:18.41] You need me, man, I don't need you
[02:20.62] You need me, man, I don't need you
[02:22.74] You need me, man, I don't need you (at all)
[02:24.90] You need me
[02:26.58] All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
[02:28.85] Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music
[02:30.92] Who did it, who is it, who's in it or what the hell does it matter?
[02:36.00] Chitter chatter, don't matter what a yidder, yidder, yadder, it don't matter to me
[02:37.12] All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
[02:39.84] To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me?
[02:43.41] Hey, so I keep singing that
[02:44.36] When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters
[02:46.49] Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
[02:48.76] And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
[02:50.84] And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
[02:53.31] Hennesey shots and... all these fools on the block
[02:55.31] Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
[02:55.67] I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy..
[03:02.18] Ready to die
[03:03.59] Ed Sheeran, Alone Star
[03:05.00] Coming out here freestyling with the guitar
[03:06.92] Cause I've forgotten the lyrics of this bit right here
[03:08.84] So I freestyle off the top of the bit with the..
[03:11.81] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub
[03:14.12] Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs
[03:16.15] Into having sex, I ain't into making love
[03:18.36] Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough
[03:20.02] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bubbly
[03:21.34] Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs
[03:24.11] Into having sex, I ain't into making love
[03:26.18] Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough
[03:32.12] You need me, man, I don't need you
[03:34.18] You need me, man, I don't need you
[03:36.25] You need me, man, I don't need you
[03:38.36] You need me, man, I don't need you
[03:40.78] You need me, man, I don't need you
[03:43.12] Cause you need me, man, I don't need you
[03:45.24] You need me
[03:46.15] My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning
[03:50.59] My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning
[03:55.33] My eyes are red,I've been burning, I've been burning on a spliff off your high grade
[04:00.18] My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning, burning
[04:05.06] Now where I come from burning weed it is a habit
[04:07.19] A big fat bag of high grade weed, you know I got to have it
[04:09.35] Cos if I don't have it in my pocket I'm going to panic
[04:11.68] Cos like I said where I come from weed smoking is a habit
[04:13.96] Yup, we'll do da bun in the place up in the hood
[04:16.23] One of them things I have inherited like a ghetto man should
[04:18.55] One of them things is smoking weed it yes it makes me feel good
[04:20.77] Burning high grade sensimilla, yes it makes me feel
[04:23.06] But me is a man, ah, talk about sensimilla is a drug
[04:25.27] And if I start to smoke it I'mma-nna turn into a thug
[04:27.50] Where I come from that they talking could that only get you mugged
[04:29.82] Where I come from burning weed it is a blessing from above
[04:32.00] Where I come from yes we bun it when we listen rub a dub
[04:34.30] Where I come from yes we bun after we just-a make a love
[04:36.53] Where I come from yes we bun it when the sun starts shine
[04:39.26] I blaze high grade weed all the time!
[04:41.37] Now my eyes are red
[04:42.49] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:44.66] You need me man, my eyes are red
[04:47.17] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:49.39] You need me man, my eyes are red
[04:51.72] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:54.08] You need me man, my eyes are red
[04:56.26] You need me, man, I don't need you
[04:58.67] You need me, man, I don't need you
[05:01.26] Okay so this is the breakdown bit where we get a little bit funky
[05:04.79] Ugh, and I forget about the whole week, you forget about the whole week, the whole weekend. Just forget about everything!
[05:10.68] Cause it's Sunday and we're all gonna get drunk after this and have a very very good time and I'm not stressed anymore. We're just letting it unwind
[05:17.86] I wanna split the room in the middle here. Who's up for that?
[05:22.56] Not, not, not literally. You don't have to literally divide
[05:25.37] It's all good, all good. Peace and love, peace and love and harmony
[05:28.34] What was I gonna say? This side, up there, are you with me?
[05:33.25] This side, up there, are you with me?
[05:35.39] Everyone scream as loud as you can! (screaming)
[05:38.90] Okay, so we found out that everyone's voices work
[05:43.18] This side, I'm not gonna insult you but you are West Ham, okay?
[05:47.22] You're West Ham, yeah? You're West Ham Football Club. Get in the geezer mode, yeah?
[05:51.20] This side, you're Millwall, yeah?
[05:52.87] You two, you two hate each other. You two are gonna beat each other at whatever you do, no matter what
[05:59.42] So if I give you something to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:02.97] If I give you something to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:05.29] Are you all up for that?
[06:06.85] Millwall, are you ready? (yeah!)
[06:09.07] West Ham, are you ready? (yeah!)
[06:11.40] Okay, West Ham, you sing this:
[06:14.36] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:16.59] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:18.91] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:21.33] Millwall, you sing this:
[06:22.55] My eyes are red
[06:23.97] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:26.14] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[06:28.50] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:30.83] You need me, man, (my eyes are red!)
[06:33.25] (You need me, man, I don't need you)
[06:35.62] (You need me, man, my eyes are red!)
[06:37.94] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:40.36] Millwall are winning I think
[06:41.66] My eyes are red
[06:42.63] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:44.95] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:47.38] You need me, man, I don't need you
[06:49.05] One two...
[06:50.92] I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
[06:53.28] Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
[06:55.60] Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe
[06:57.98] Jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
[07:00.15] Although my bloodshot whites and irises they never find any
[07:02.74] Clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
[07:05.19] Although my eyes are heavy, they won't be closing soon
[07:07.52] Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it's true
[07:09.88] We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
[07:11.90] To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
[07:14.22] I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
[07:16.49] So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
[07:19.08] Cause real recognise real is what my father says
[07:21.33] And I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
[07:23.61] It's overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
[07:25.89] But I'll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close
[07:28.66] You need me, man, I don't need you
[07:30.92] You need me, man, I don't need you
[07:33.30] You need me, man, I don't need you
[07:34.97] I got my friend, very good friend Random Impulse
[07:36.88] He's gonna come up and he's gonna spit a few bars on the beat
[07:39.66] Everyone give it up for Random Impulse!
[07:44.04] Yo!
[07:45.55] In this game, I am my own damn man, no restriction, post or boundaries
[07:48.64] Spouting heat, hungry and my circle always round to eat
[07:51.06] Crossing circles, counting thousands at a thousand feet
[07:53.25] Counting sheep and he's sound asleep
[07:55.10] Summoned from the deep, now I float, to sink my boat, you'll need a thousand fleets
[07:57.99] Walk on any beat and stomp it like a thousand feet
[08:00.09] Talk is cheap, so I could treat you to my words for free
[08:02.36] Now that I'm out, man, I ain't playing like I hurt my knee
[08:04.57] It's common courtesy, I left you for a minute
[08:06.46] Now I'm back and packing punches like I'm Popeye popping spinach
[08:09.23] Eating every course... lunch, I ain't forgotten dinners
[08:11.14] Play guitars as well as bars so you ain't rocking with beginners
[08:13.86] Sorry, time's ticking, I can't mess with up-and-comers
[08:15.88] National lottery business, only winners have my numbers
[08:18.40] Man I'm nothing like you fronters, show you how it is
[08:20.42] I can't really do nothing for you 'less you got something to give, Ed!
[08:23.26] Cause you need me, man,I don't need you
[08:25.59] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:27.84] You need me, man, I don't need you
[08:29.66] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:32.54] You need me, man, I don't need you
[08:34.80] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:37.07] You need me, man, I don't need you
[08:39.39] You need me
[08:40.84] I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
[08:43.31] Gonna be breaking into other peoples tunes when I chase it
[08:45.74] And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
[08:48.21] Into another rappers shoes using new laces
[08:50.58] Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers
[08:52.66] Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the majors
[08:55.02] Nationwide tour with just jack, still had to get the bus back
[08:57.39] Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
[08:59.76] I hit back when the pen hurts me
[09:01.92] I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
[09:04.20] I'm still the same as a year ago
[09:05.67] But more people hear me though
[09:06.97] According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
[09:09.05] I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio
[09:11.21] Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio
[09:13.83] Melody music maker
[09:14.73] Reading all the papers
[09:15.95] They say I'm up and coming like I'm ****ing in an elevator
[09:18.47] Later!
[09:20.19] Thank you
[09:22.47] Thank you so much! See you soon!

[05:28.34] What was I gonna say? This side, up there, are you with me?
[05:33.25] This side, up there, are you with me?
[05:35.39] Everyone scream as loud as you can! screaming
[05:38.90] Okay, so we found out that everyone' s voices work
[05:43.18] This side, I' m not gonna insult you but you are West Ham, okay?
[05:47.22] You' re West Ham, yeah? You' re West Ham Football Club. Get in the geezer mode, yeah?
[05:51.20] This side, you' re Millwall, yeah?
[05:52.87] You two, you two hate each other. You two are gonna beat each other at whatever you do, no matter what
[05:59.42] So if I give you something to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:02.97] If I give you something to sing, you have to sing louder than them
[06:05.29] Are you all up for that?
[06:06.85] Millwall, are you ready? yeah!
[06:09.07] West Ham, are you ready? yeah!
[06:11.40] Okay, West Ham, you sing this:
[06:14.36] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:16.59] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:18.91] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:21.33] Millwall, you sing this:
[06:22.55] My eyes are red
[06:23.97] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:26.14] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[06:28.50] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:30.83] You need me, man, my eyes are red!
[06:33.25] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:35.62] You need me, man, my eyes are red!
[06:37.94] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:40.36] Millwall are winning I think
[06:41.66] My eyes are red
[06:42.63] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:44.95] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:47.38] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[06:49.05] One two...
[06:50.92] I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
[06:53.28] Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
[06:55.60] Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe
[06:57.98] Jet lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
[07:00.15] Although my bloodshot whites and irises they never find any
[07:02.74] Clock stops at times where the sun shine can blind many
[07:05.19] Although my eyes are heavy, they won' t be closing soon
[07:07.52] Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it' s true
[07:09.88] We make corrosive tunes with acid tabs and vocal booths
[07:11.90] To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
[07:14.22] I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
[07:16.49] So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
[07:19.08] Cause real recognise real is what my father says
[07:21.33] And I' ll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
[07:23.61] It' s overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
[07:25.89] But I' ll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close
[07:28.66] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[07:30.92] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[07:33.30] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[07:34.97] I got my friend, very good friend Random Impulse
[07:36.88] He' s gonna come up and he' s gonna spit a few bars on the beat
[07:39.66] Everyone give it up for Random Impulse!
[07:44.04] Yo!
[07:45.55] In this game, I am my own damn man, no restriction, post or boundaries
[07:48.64] Spouting heat, hungry and my circle always round to eat
[07:51.06] Crossing circles, counting thousands at a thousand feet
[07:53.25] Counting sheep and he' s sound asleep
[07:55.10] Summoned from the deep, now I float, to sink my boat, you' ll need a thousand fleets
[07:57.99] Walk on any beat and stomp it like a thousand feet
[08:00.09] Talk is cheap, so I could treat you to my words for free
[08:02.36] Now that I' m out, man, I ain' t playing like I hurt my knee
[08:04.57] It' s common courtesy, I left you for a minute
[08:06.46] Now I' m back and packing punches like I' m Popeye popping spinach
[08:09.23] Eating every course... lunch, I ain' t forgotten dinners
[08:11.14] Play guitars as well as bars so you ain' t rocking with beginners
[08:13.86] Sorry, time' s ticking, I can' t mess with upandcomers
[08:15.88] National lottery business, only winners have my numbers
[08:18.40] Man I' m nothing like you fronters, show you how it is
[08:20.42] I can' t really do nothing for you ' less you got something to give, Ed!
[08:23.26] Cause you need me, man, I don' t need you
[08:25.59] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:27.84] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[08:29.66] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:32.54] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[08:34.80] You need me, man, my eyes are red
[08:37.07] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[08:39.39] You need me
[08:40.84] I' ll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
[08:43.31] Gonna be breaking into other peoples tunes when I chase it
[08:45.74] And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
[08:48.21] Into another rappers shoes using new laces
[08:50.58] Selling CD' s from my rucksack aiming for the papers
[08:52.66] Selling CD' s from my rucksack aiming for the majors
[08:55.02] Nationwide tour with just jack, still had to get the bus back
[08:57.39] Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
[08:59.76] I hit back when the pen hurts me
[09:01.92] I' m still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
[09:04.20] I' m still the same as a year ago
[09:05.67] But more people hear me though
[09:06.97] According to the MySpace and YouTube videos
[09:09.05] I' m always doing shows if I' m not I' m in the studio
[09:11.21] Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio
[09:13.83] Melody music maker
[09:14.73] Reading all the papers
[09:15.95] They say I' m up and coming like I' m ing in an elevator
[09:18.47] Later!
[09:20.19] Thank you
[09:22.47] Thank you so much! See you soon!
[00:39.45] Now I' m in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
[00:41.93] Playing a different show
[00:43.08] Every night in front of a new crowd
[00:44.21] That' s new now, ciao, seems that life is great now
[00:46.65] See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
[00:49.20] And I can' t, no, I won t hush
[00:51.37] I' ll say the words that make you blush
[00:53.90] I' m gonna sing this now
[00:57.81] See, I' m true, my songs are where my heart is
[01:00.05] I' m like glue, I stick to other artists
[01:02.26] I' m not you, now that would be disastrous
[01:04.24] Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
[01:06.61] See, I' m real, I do it all, it' s all me
[01:08.90] I' m not fake, don' t ever call me lazy
[01:10.96] I won' t stay put, give me the chance to be free
[01:13.24] Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me
[01:15.67] Cause you need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:18.14] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:20.52] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:22.69] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:24.86] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:27.03] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[01:29.36] You need me, man, I don' t need you at all
[01:31.52] You need me
[01:32.98] I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse, hell
[01:35.70] Don' t need another wordsmith to make my tune sell
[01:37.83] Call yourself a singerwriter you' re just bluffing
[01:40.01] Your names on the credits and you didn' t write nothing
[01:42.45] I sing fast, I know that all my shit' s cool
[01:44.73] I will blast and I didn' t go to Brit School
[01:46.90] I came fast with the way I act, right
[01:49.13] I can' t last if I' m smoking on a crack pipe
[01:51.39] And I won' t be a product of my genre
[01:53.21] My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
[01:55.68] Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
[01:57.80] Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
[02:00.74] And musically I' m demonstrating
[02:02.31] When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
[02:04.48] Times at the Enterprise when some fella filmed me
[02:06.77] A young singerwriter like a Gabriella Cilmi
[02:09.44] Cause you need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:11.65] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:13.83] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:16.04] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:18.41] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:20.62] You need me, man, I don' t need you
[02:22.74] You need me, man, I don' t need you at all
[02:24.90] You need me
[02:26.58] All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
[02:28.85] Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who' s who of music
[02:30.92] Who did it, who is it, who' s in it or what the hell does it matter?
[02:36.00] Chitter chatter, don' t matter what a yidder, yidder, yadder, it don' t matter to me
[02:37.12] All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
[02:39.84] To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me?
[02:43.41] Hey, so I keep singing that
[02:44.36] When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters
[02:46.49] Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
[02:48.76] And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
[02:50.84] And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
[02:53.31] Hennesey shots and... all these fools on the block
[02:55.31] Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
[02:55.67] I' m just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy..
[03:02.18] Ready to die
[03:03.59] Ed Sheeran, Alone Star
[03:05.00] Coming out here freestyling with the guitar
[03:06.92] Cause I' ve forgotten the lyrics of this bit right here
[03:08.84] So I freestyle off the top of the bit with the..
[03:11.81] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub
[03:14.12] Mummy I' ve got the X if you' re into taking drugs
[03:16.15] Into having sex, I ain' t into making love

[03:20.02] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bubbly

[04:20.77] Burning high grade sensimilla, yes it makes me feel
[04:23.06] But me is a man, ah, talk about sensimilla is a drug
[04:25.27] And if I start to smoke it I' mmanna turn into a thug
[04:27.50] Where I come from that they talking could that only get you mugged
[04:29.82] Where I come from burning weed it is a blessing from above

[05:04.79] Ugh, and I forget about the whole week, you forget about the whole week, the whole weekend. Just forget about everything!
[05:10.68] Cause it' s Sunday and we' re all gonna get drunk after this and have a very very good time and I' m not stressed anymore. We' re just letting it unwind
[05:17.86] I wanna split the room in the middle here. Who' s up for that?
