1
This journey starts six years ago in a run down housin' estate
2
In bow East London, south east UK, was a young man
3
Lets call this young man, Ray
4
Frustrated wiv bein' around the way would say, "I'm bored"
5
Until one day gathered up some change
6
And in exchange got turntables off Tony
7
Not only, were they whack, they were wooden
8
But he took 'em 'cos it was a bargain and it was a good'en
9
And he said to himself, "Who wouldn't?"
10
Why not, then he took a little trot to DJ Targets squat
11
Stood outside the door and knocked
12
Asked what jungle records you got?
13
Must be somethin' you wanna get shot, of, blot
14
Din't buy beats, he ready to quit, gave him the whole lot
15
Then Ray had little click, they were hot
16
Young gun soldiers but it all flopped
17
Still it didn't make Ray wanna give up the fight
18
Ray jus picked up the mic, would write, lyrics while excluded
19
No gifts and glamor included
20
Like crime for money, dough, crime pays, didn't ya know?
21
Even though Ray come across slow
22
Broke shit down, brung another new flow
23
Made beats in the back room
24
Teacher gave him a new spare time
25
Then they got a little bit o'radio airtime
26
1:00 A.M. till 3, be in school by 9
27
This was clearly a positive sign
28
Learnin' 'bout beats, breaks and bars
29
Didn't chat about champagne and cars
30
More concerned wiv you know, the grime
31
Made it a touch difficult to shine
32
Among these so called underground stars
33
Some resented him thus presentin' him with pure dumbness like retards
34
It didn't matter, Ray would say, "Okay, I'm gonna be a real star one day"
35
Went through dramas along the way
36
But he stood firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
37
Went through dramas along the way
38
But he stoof firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
39
Went through dramas along the way
40
Let's take a look at Ray today, today, today
41
Showtime, it's showtime
