Wanna Be Lyrics


Alright, mate
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about bein’ a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets gettin’ bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
I'm movin’, couldn't be losin’
Nothin’ but a success, thing I'm provin’ nothin’
To you half heart wasters
Standin’ there yap yap, yappin’ on, cruisin’
Nobody dictates, so I'm choosin’
Where I go, what I do with my life, stupid
And I hold, I'm own, I'm raskit
You better watch your tone you spastic
Low it, you’re not heartless

Nothin’ but a lot of hot air, you're harmless
I keep getting’ my paper regardless
Your words don't faze me, I'm marvelous
Age 22, zero tolerance
And I ain't got no time for the nonsense
You wanna see me, come to my concerts
Or we can do it on stage with an audience
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about bein’ a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets gettin’ bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
Beef, straps, cuts, glory
All these high bredders in the club bore me
I wish when I come through they ignore me
I really can't deal with another war story
Bredders in my face with a fist full of paper
Tryin’ to make out they're a big money maker
Talkin’ all loud but I know, man, I'm a hustler
I ain't got time, rude boi, see you later
And I can't forget these groupies followin’
Frontin’, ravin’, rantin’, hollerin'
Yeah, I know I shouldn't be complainin’
But these Jezebels do my brain in
I ain't no groupie, who you callin’ Jezebel?
Don't chat to me like I'm just any girl
Nah, security, somebody move her
I don't wanna talk to you anyway, loser
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about bein’ a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets gettin’ bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
That whip don't make you a big man, na, mate
That chain don't make you a big man na, mate
I know you think you're a big man, wat, mate?
But really you're just a waste,man, love it
That whip don't make you a big man, na, mate
That chain don't make you a big man na, mate
I know you think you're a big man, wat, mate?
But really you're just a waste,man, love it
Let me wrap it up while I still got time
Ain't nobody tellin’ me about no grime
'Coz I know where I stand, whether I'm fine
Handle your biz, I'm handlin’ mine
Everybody chattin' 'bout black on black crime
All I see is the blind leadin’ the blind
I wanna leave all the pettiness behind
You don't really wanna see me cross dat line
Leave me alone or you'll be sorry
Beef ain't nothin’ new to me, you wolly
Why don't you just kick back, be jolly
Stay at home with a cuppa tea, watch ‘Corrie’
I'm not listenin’ anyway, man
Who rattled your cage anyway, man?
Ain't no slackin' with this young man
Do what I gotta do everyday, fam
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about bein’ a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets gettin’ bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
So you wanna be a gangster
Tell me just one thing
What you know about bein’ a hard man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting’ bigger
But you couldn't pull the trigger if you need to
'Cause you haven't got it
So you might as well quit
So you might as well quit
So you might as well quit

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.
