Temptation Lyrics


Gotta keep my head above water
Gotta stay head-strong, keep rolling on
No point getting caught in the hype is long
Like I don't know right from wrongSo I gotta be real, nothing to prove
I'm still big in the hood, I feel so in control
I'm chill, no one ain't knocking off dill
So I stay top on the billI'm the main event, the headliner
Went from jungle DJ to rhymer
Never thought I would be the big timer
But I still par it like, yo, it's a minor'Cause I still rep my ends, still check my friends
Can I keep it up? I guess, it all depends
If I can keep my mind right, don't get tempted
By the limelight, I think I'll be alright
Temptation leads you like your naughty mate
The one that used to get you in bother
The one you can never bring yourself to hateCan't avoid the temptation
But I know, I gotta change my ways
And keep my nose clean, gotta fix up

Take a look at my life 'cause I ain't sixteenAnd I ain't no boy, ain't no kid
The world ain't flat and the picture's big
Certain things that I gotta get rid
And a whole lot more that I gotta get withSo I gotta stay and roam on my own
Gotta move on, I can't stay at home
'Cause I know what's there is all the same
Crack, cocaine and ghetto fame
Cold hard cash and a bit of a name
And I've see it all, so I need a change
Lost too many brethrens to the game
And you could say temptation's to blameTemptation leads you like your naughty mate
The one that used to get you in bother
The one you can never bring yourself to hate
Temptation leads you like your naughty friendsWe used to be tight, me and my naughty friends
Caused pure madness in the ends, I mean day and night
We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight
Smoking, drinking, joyriding, drugs, thugs, not law-abidingReckless youngsters, no direction, no sign of correction
But then I switched it up, changed my ways
Got in the area like, "Oh my days"
But not my naughty friends, they're not fazed
Can't believe that this music paysSee no reason why we can't do
All the things that we've always done
Still in my heart I know that's just wrong
But it's hard to fight the temptation, sonTemptation leads you like your naughty mate
The one that used to get you in bother
The one you can never bring yourself to hate
Temptation leads you like your naughty friends

Dylan Mills, known professionally as Dizzee Rascal (born November 1, 1985), is a grime solo artist, formerly a Roll Deep crew member, who emerged from the UK Garage music scene. His music was a blend of garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga, with some more eclectic samples.

Dizzee began MCing on pirate radio and at raves at fifteen, but since his mainstream success he has distanced himself from the fledgling scene. Rascal grew up in the East End of London in south Bow in a council estate, raised by his single mother, a Ghanaian immigrant. Little is known about his father, though it is thought that he died when Mills was two. He attributes his musical development to a school teacher who allowed him to skip regular classes and spend time working on music on the school computers.

His music is an eclectic mixture of garage and hip-hop beats with an extremely broad palette of influences, ranging from metal guitars to found sounds, drill and bass synth lines, eclectic samples and even Japanese court music. His vocal performance is also distinctive, he uses a fast version of rapping (known as 'spitting') which blends elements from garage MCing, conventional rap, grime and ragga.

Dizzee Rascal has numerous rivals within the Grime scene, mainly from the Bow, East London area. A notable rival of Dizzee Rascal is Crazy Titch who produced and recorded a diss called "Just An Arsehole" which used the backing track of Dizzee's record of "Jus A Rascal".

Dizzee Rascal has had international endorsements deals with urban brand Ecko and designed his own shoe with Nike. He has also worked with cross genre artist, Beck, on a remix of the song Hell Yes.

He released his first album in 2003, which was called Boy in da Corner. His second album Showtime was then later released in 2004. His third effort, Maths and English was released in 2007. He experienced commercial success in 2008 when Dance Wiv Me reached the number one spot in the UK charts.
