Sway Album

[No lyrics]

[No lyrics]

Hype boys, hype boys
Everyone's a killer
Drug dealer with the nine mill'er
That's not sensible
And I can sense the bull
That's why these rapers couldn't see me comin'
If they were vaginas with spectacles
And I've got the testicles to testify the truth
Half these rapers are only gansters in the booth
And they ain't never been to no pen
They just hold one
Me I be no gangster, I'm just tellin' you the truth
But I run up in the game like bang bang bang bang
That's why, that's why everyone keeps sayin'
Have you heard Sway he's Nine Nine Nine Nine
That guy, that guy's heavy in the game
And ask where buy this Fe Fi Fo
But them guys coulda never feel my flow
Sway all the way from the U to the K
Order Bacardi up in the Te To Oh
Getting over the cds I've sold in it
I just want 'em to know that's the goal in it
That's the goal ain't it
Half the haters they ain't doing nothing with a mike but holdin' it
They slow, with it
So they could new bring it to the game in the new school
I play too brutual
That's why I control like a court side teacher's bugle
People down in england ain't all wild
But some places in Britain ain't the place to raise your child
Cause even the royal family ain't all smiles
Cause everybody knows, Harry don't look like Charles
See me I've never been to court and I've never been on trial, boys
Never been fought even though I've been around, boy
What's that thing in your hand? Put it down boy
Cause you're not a killa, you're a sound boy

[Chorus]

Hype boys, hype boys
Everyone's a bad man now
On the mike boys, mike boys
And everyone's a mad man now
And the semi goes
Bratatatatatatatata (yeah right)
And the semi goes
Ratata (nah), bang bang

Hype boys, hype boys
Everyone's a mad man now
On the mike boys, mike boys
And everyone's a bad man now
And the semi goes
Bratatatatatatatata (yeah right)
And the semi goes
Ratata (nah), bang bang

Pound is stronger than the doller (holla)
Sway, I run up in this game
Like a rub'er without a rubber
And now I been around and a pro
Won a couple of awards now, round of applause
And now I'm making peas and I'm pleasing my people
Not even a Jamiroquai hat could fit my ego
'nough of these rappers ain't real, they just rapping hype
Why you shouting all the time, don't you have a mike?
Run up in the club like, be-ow, be-ow
Bust two lyrics then, we out, we out
Them boys talk to re-al, real
But they post like, meow meow
And they don't really want no war time,
This rap game is all mine
It will never be your time
Never bra, 'cause you're small time
And I got more time, so settle down boy
Before I make you look like something like a clown boy
What's that thing in your hand? Put it down boy
'Cause you're not a killa, you're sound boy

[Chorus]

Are you a liar?
If your reply is no you're lying now
Because we living a lie
and then we die
and then we're lying down
Look at my Adam's Apple
It's not that my neck hurts, no no
Its just the truth is hard to swallow
And you can see that I'm an expert
So let, let me elaborate
As I navigate
Like a husky
But trust me
The truth is, I wouldn't even trust me
Many rely on religion, that doesn't make sense
Cause that's considered a sin
It is really no winning
'cause every one habors a liar within them
It's just that we're different
Being a bad liar is like having a bad lawyer
As soon as they get caught they get the sentence uffed up
A good liar's benevolent
With a memory like an elephant
Intelegent
And knows exactly when to shhhhh
Lies spread around like viruses
So how can I survive in this?
'Cause even the truth lies (where?)
In people's irises
So how can I resist
I had to lie to write this verse
Got my talent for twisting words
Hence my title, I'm a "lie"ricist
When you work the people don't want to leave alone
'Cause you gotta make money you don't need the loan
I'm a businessman underneath the foam
But you lie to the people and lead them on
You're not a bad boy, no
I got a bad boy flow
'Cause when in Rome you do what the Romans do
Especially when all roads lead to Rome
You need to stop pretending
Your mix tapes are still in boxes
'Cause you don't have a fan in your bedroom
What's that thing, in your hand? Put it down boy
'Cause you're not a killa, you're a sound boy

[Chorus]

Yeah,

[Chorus: x2]
Little Derek's Doing Okay (yeah)
Little Derek's Doing Fine (fine)
Little Derek's Doing Cool (cool)
You know how we do

[Verse 1:]
Stepped out my house i'm feelin fresh and brand new
Olu did the trimry and I done the hairdo
And everything i wear's new, Mahadashi jacket, Puma top, boxfresh jeans and Nike cam boots.
Sprayed a little versace dreamer on me too
so every girl who pass is like ooh wooh
Police don't pull us over like woo woo
cos they're kids watch MTV and Channel U (U)

But life ain't always been fine like baby blue
cuz when u do UK rap you're number two
cuz the USA ain't givin us space to break true
so i'm on the grind tryin to pioneer a break-through
gotta keep the punters happy, to tango it takes two
and it seems like i'm the rapper the people take to
i've never had alot, with what i've got i've made do
now i'm blowin up up in this bitch like move, move, move!

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 2:]
Step out the ride i'm feelin nice and quite fly
I'm tryin to reach the top i see the top is quite high!
Steady on my grind tryin to get my face up in the source
so i keep my faith up in the forces in the bright, white sky
gettin calls from these record label bosses like 'Hi'!
head up in inside their offices
and listen to their promises
but no-ones made me offers yet
that I could not deny
And i been makin profits of this my mix-tapes raw
life ain't always been pretty like nah
on the north side of the city
where it's gritty like pie
we did what we had to done to get by
hopin not to get caught up in no silly drive by
little derek wrote lyrics while the others got high
and he ended up in HMV instead of HMP
cos street life could only end one way
your friend cryin on the scene like why, why, why?

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3: Baby Blue]
Knowin real fame that's what i used to dream about
that everyone would know my name and they would scream it out
knowin my song words and sing along to it now
and i would walk down the street and hear blue, blue, blue.
my video's rotatin so i got these execs debating
about whether i'm takin
and these RnB guys is thinking the same thing
calling up my phone asking whether i'm dating.
I turned my passion to career how could i lose out
quit my 9-5 so i don't have to sell shows now
my CDs are moving
that's the route that I'm choosing
so i got to make it thru, thru, thru
little Rachael used to look up to the sky too
analyse the planets and wonder if i could shine too
so now they ask how i'm doin i say
little Rachael's doing okay

[Chorus x2]

[No lyrics]

Gotta Keep Up Gotta Gotta Keep Up
Gotta Keep Up Gotta Gotta Keep Up
Back In The Days Before I Got Paid, I Wasnt Too Pretty So I Never Got Laid
As Soon As I Changed The Size Of My Chain, Rayz, I Cut Through The Crowd Like A Blade
Never Sold An Aspirin And Never Done A Rayz, So Ask Me Again How I Got That Fame
Credit You Get It You Got It You Spend It Gotta Keep Up "Wer" Cus I'm So Ashamed

I Roll Up To The Bar Den I Swipe Swipe
When I'm Filling Up My Car I Jus Swipe Swipe
When I'm Shopping For The Buds I Jus Swipe Swipe
See I Can Have Anything I Like

Got The Shop Keeper Swinging On My Sumting

Hey Its Sway Dcypho From Decypher, He Came To Take Ur Breath Away

"Sway How Much Was Ur Shades, Sway Where'd You Buy Those Trainers

Hey Its Sway Dcypho From Decypher, He Came To Take Ur Breath Away

"Sway What Car Are We In, Sway Whats The Size Of The Rims
Sway How Fast Can It Go"
I Dont Know I'm Jus Followin Fashion

One Day I Came Home For Breakfast When I Tripped Up And Landed On A Load Of Letters
Sumthin Says I Should Open Em Today, Instead Of Always Ignorin Em An Throwin Em Away
Ten Red Letters In My Name But I Doesnt Mind, If They Phone Up I'll Jus Tell Em That I'm Colourblind

Hey Its Sway Dcypho From Decypher, He Came To Take Ur Breath Away

(feat. Nate James)

[Intro:]
I'm only 23 but I feel like i'm older, d'beta(??) i'm a hunchback from carryin the world on my shoulders
If the world (???) all hold us in the land of tony blair it's hard to BBC my dreams n stay focused
And i've always been a loner in the form of a trio the three amigos who? me, myself and I aint no (??)
N' aint nutin changed but ma size, and the fact im on the rise, it's two thousand and five

[Verse 1:]
I'm everybodys friend now, i'm everybodys cousin cuz i'm the up n' comer comin up i see him comin
to eat with the up n' comer
sleep with the up n' do songs with and try steal heat from the up n' comer
the only person I trust is my mother from day dot through all the ups n' coming down she supported me
she said that ima keep it, pregnant in secret, ignoring all the encouragements to have aborted me
family cursing me forgettin it coulda been worse remember i chose the beats over the streets
kept on tellin me to go to university it's all reversed now, now that i'm tipped to do well commercially
as for friends? we've moved on and grown up I used to rap with a crew called one,
we broke up now being solo only shows you who your true friends are when you invite them to shows but they dont show up

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna hear the cries no more
Find your dream i'm chasing mine
Give it all you got n strive for more
Lifes too short to waste my time n I look up at the sky and all I see; is I can only rely on me becuz at the end of the day i'm still on my own

[Verse 2:]
You mighta seen me standin on the streets tryna sell my CD's at five pound a pop it was me, X-I-LEM P
back to the studio to make another beat, no whip this was all done by fee then we called up michael merridith to get a good mix
he put it on a DAP, i put it on a DISC n we give it to the DJ's to throw to put it out and a little bit of DAT a little bit of DIS

[Verse 3:]
Lifes a bitch, in a relationship with time, sleepin wiv me on the side!
lay front of life is death n im a young dog tryna stay alive i look at life DOGGY STYLE!
there aint no stoppin me now no lookin back to when I was trapped between religions it wasn't simple
because I feared bending over backwards to get into heaven only to end up in limbo
n this is what im sayin now...

[Chorus: x2]
I don't wanna hear the cries no more
Find your dream i'm chasing mine
Give it all you got n strive for more
Lifes too short to waste my time n I look up at the sky and all I see is; I can only rely on me becuz at the end of the day i'm still on my own
n this is what im sayin now... (but last line not repeated the 2nd time)

[Song fades with vocal sounds]

Don't need nobody... gonna do it on my own.

(feat. Haydon & Ny)

I'll be back for you my dear,
