Big (feat. Chipmunk) Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
They say "Skepta, you must get loads of girls"
the music's picked up now
tell em like J2k, nahh, it's all switched up now
she thinks that if she talks to me they'll call
her a groupie behind her back now
so she stands far but close enough for her pictures
to have me in the background
I'm kinda used to it now
they say it's all part and parcel
and if it's this much for me

imagine whats it's like for Curtis and Marshall
I wanna go hard
but my body keeps telling me to take it easy
so I sit here watching a DVD logo bounce around the TV
my life ended ages ago, now it's all a dream
sitting here, thinking how this thing all started
from What D'Ya Mean, What D'Ya Mean
now that I'm getting that paper I heard a couple man want me dead
so I went out bought a Gucci hat and put money on my own head
I forever hear people talking like I don't know about street
fake gangstas must think I spent my music money on chocolate and sweets
you're looking for beef in London? Nah it's not hard to find it
but I'm not scared of a gun, it's all about the man behind it[Chorus]
you wanna make it big
you think you like what you see
you wanna make it big
you saw me go from the bottom to the top
now you wanna be meYou wanna make it big
this famous life make people wanna wish they were 6 feet under
but not me
see when I made it big
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
truss[Skepta - Verse 2]
Sometimes I think that I think too much
I start thinking about thinking
then I start to get paranoid
I think my windows need tinting
they say why work all this time
to get famous Joseph
just to wear sunglasses
cause you don't wanna get noticed
once in a while I take em off
and I'm like "arrr, thats too bright"
because I sleep all day then I wake up at night
then I phone my girl, see if she wants to link
she said she got work in the morning
so what do I do, I go out for a drink
I spend all my time in clubs
it's starting to feel like home
I don't wanna sit in the VIP but sometimes I just wanna be left alone
I hate when I'm in a bad mood and I see all my supporters vibes'n
and I apologies to anyone I've taking a pic with when I weren't smiling
they say "don't you remember me I met you at Party In The Park"
babe, I can't even where I parked my car in the car park
now she hates me and everytime she hears my song she's changing the station
I swear the human brain weren't designed to deal with all this information[Chorus]
you still wanna make it big
you think you like what you see
you wanna make it big
you saw me go from the bottom to the top
now you wanna be meYou wanna make it big
this famous life can make some people wish they were 6 feet under
but not me
you see when I made it big
I just wish that I knew what I know now when I was younger
truss[Bridge]
Listen tomorrow isn't promised to us so
you have to enjoy today
cause the game is like a box of roses
cause when they're done with the chocalate
the wrapper gets thrown away
I said the wrapper gets thrown away[Chipmunk]
When you're shooting for your targets
and its making you a target
you die before you live, I wish you warned me when I started
we're going full hearted, R.I.P the half wits
cause now we're 6 feet under the top spot f-ck a casket
bastards, don't we make the lifestyle look appealing
independant names and chains
Skepta are we dreaming?
nobody could season, this track couldn't reach him
cause now I'm on the otherside of that glass ceiling
the underdogs are off the leash
eh Joseph, pass the muzzles and the leads
the games full of demons, lets get this armhouse on
everyone wants handouts but I aint stretch armstrong
we've come so far as emcee's
round of applause or bust it off just make it clap please
I'm so past just trying to be the favourite
you're nobody until you got some haters
but you still wanna make it BIG![Chorus - x2]

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Joseph Junior Adenuga, better known as Skepta, is an English Grime MC from Tottenham, North London, England. Originally from and born to Nigerian parents he moved from Lagos to London aged three. His family history can be traced back further to Ethiopia, to the Falash Mura community. He is a producer and DJ commonly associated with the North London Grime scene, including Roll Deep and Boy Better Know.
The name "Skepta" originated from the word Sceptre, a type of staff. He did not like the way it was spelt and felt that he wanted a unique stage name so 'that he could type "Skepta" in YouTube and only he would come up.' So, he changed it.
Skepta started his music career after he won a MC battle with over 300 people contesting beating Tempa T in the final. He also formed a partnership with his brother JME and became renowned throughout Greater London for his hit single (he also produced), "Private Caller" which featured many of his Meridian Crew from Meridian Walk in Tottenham.

Skepta (Managing Director) along with brother JME (CEO), began their grime label Boy Better Know in late 2005. The phrase "Boy Better Know" was originated by Big H the artist.
This phrase was then taken by Skepta and JME. Early 2006 saw the release of 'Shut Yuh Mut' - Boy Better Know Edition 1 which features all 3 artists and throughout the years has contributed and aided many other artists such as Frisco and Wiley to put out mixtapes, along with JME (4 mixtapes) and Skepta's September 2007 release 'Greatest Hits', which was distributed nationwide.
However now, Wiley left because he found mainstream chart success with Roll Deep, a crew that he co-founded and has enjoyed two number one hit singles with on the UK Top 40 Chart. He also had an ongoing 'beef' with Skepta, with both artists creating diss tracks, Wiley's 'Barnet' and Skepta's 'House in the Country' were both uploaded onto YouTube by both artists. However, this 'beef' was later proved to be false, as Skepta has stated in interviews, over Twitter, and whilst appearing on Ustream.

Skepta has released three singles off his third studio album, Doin' It Again (first with a major label). Titled "Bad Boy", "Rescue Me" and "Cross My Heart" featuring Preeya Kalidas, as well as a video for the Hello Good Morning (Grime Remix).
All singles charted in the Top 40 of the UK Singles Chart, with "Rescue Me" being the most successful at number 14. The chart position of "Cross My Heart" was fairly disappointing coming in at number 31 and dropping out of the Top 40 a week later, bearing in mind it had the most promotion out of any of the tracks. After the success of his first single "Bad Boy", Skepta's videos were removed from his own channel and promoted through All Around The World (a division of Universal Records).
His tracks were also premiered on the official website of the label.
It is expected that "Doin' It Again" will be either released on or in partnership with All Around The World records, scheduled for a release of 31 January 2011 for digital download and on 7 February 2011 as a CD.
