Eighteen by CJ Run Lyrics
Verse 1
It started off, council flat somewhere in the middle of Munich
Got your ass beat more times than you can stand for
Everything you did was stupid
Don’t act stupid, you’re a big…now
Gotta stand up get big get loud
You can buy drinks and cigs somehow
Who would’ve thought you would ever make it out the house?
CHORUS
No matter where you may go, ill always be there for sure
Yeah, you’re a big kid now, wanna go big but you don’t know how, see
You’re gonna find your way somehow with a big stage, big name, big big crowd (I see)
You’ve made it, escaping reality you might as well face it
Let’s go off to the races, lets go, lets go off to the races
Verse 2
You learn german before you do English, kids don’t see you as kindred spirit, CODE SWITCH
Now its wagwarn to your bredrins, big up your dogs from Mersey to Greenwich
Its hard, sitting by your lone in the school yard
Ain't nobody checking for the girl with the big heart
Born on beat inna street that’s a good start
Break
All up in Northampton town, go park, go school, might mess around
Cycle of life on a merry go round it’s the ups and downs that bring you to frown
Ask mum for 10 pounds and you get a quid, all up in a offy on a 10p ting
5 little freddos and a Fanta drink, hand on your mouth cause your breath might stink
Bridge
All these little memories of you being a little kid
Dreaming up and scheming like a rascal, just like dizzee did
I know they weren’t there for you the way you wish they would’ve been
CHORUS
Verse 3
Here's what you do: fuck the system that made you
Forget the kids that restrained you
You're a top don CJ-J ain't you? Yeah you!
All times you sweep em off their feet
And all you did was spit rhymes in a mic with a USB
With zip files playing live from a PSP…that was WE
That was you, that was us, this is truth, this is trust
No bread, we got crust, upping the crust man advancing’s a must
Everything we do we do it with gusto
I'm like pasta without pesto, plain and simple hey presto
Tell me why these other guys are impressed though, press go
Rewatch me like the last friend’s episode
Oi tell me where are you from
Where do you rep, nited, kingdom
Rap for the class, go hard spit some
But I can't catch em all, ashton ketchum
What kinda sound do I make
When I'm on road what path do I take?
Man I swear down that's a good question, but, I don't know either… CJ Run
CHORUS
