What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
There's a little boy that's too young to rave
2
One day he goes through his big bro's tapes
3
"What? I think this is called hip hop"
4
When he puts it on, the shouting and arguing stops
5
Pause, rewind, he'll learn the words off
6
By heart 'til I start to scribble down and jot
7
What's on his mind?
8
Write his own rhymes
9
Do it over, 2 step, drum ' bass, and grime
10
Host his own jungle nights and learn hype
11
Friends, bedroom studios get tight
12
He likes the limelight, saying what he likes
13
And spraying on the mic
14
He's on pirate tonight
15
Now he wrote a song
16
Just 'cause he like
17
Just what's on his mind
18
He thinks you might like
19
Reckon he should put it online?
20
Alright
21
Nobody will listen but never know they might
22
Doesn't matter anyway, he don't really care
23
Music's his blood and his sweat and his tears
24
Nah, now you'll never guess
25
But look how many plays he got today, yes!
26
Top of the blogs, he got them impressed
27
Heat like a hot rush, a blood to the head
28
Nah, Mum, look at him now
29
See, it's not a waste of time, aren't you proud?
30
There's no money, at least for now
31
But he's reaching people and they hear him loud
32
Nah, he got fans, don't lie
33
Unread messages, double overnight
34
Thanks for the love, yeah, I'm glad you like
35
Keep in touch, pass it on, how very nice
36
Nah, as the DJ's wheel
37
Cool little labels offering him deals
38
Cool little raves all hot up on his heels
39
He's heating up, he likes how it feels
40
But so what now, he sees the game is fiddle
41
There's hundred other piggies wanna sip from the nipple
42
Hear the whippersnappers coming like the click of a pistol
43
And now he can't even slack or slow down
44
No, not even a little
45
Everybody wanna get a cut of the loot
46
Producers, agents, or even his crew
47
And he's still independent, still gotta do
48
All the promo admin and tax returns, too
49
Rah
50
So what if I got the underground locked?
51
Desktop is full of emails, he can't put his feet up
52
Got beef
53
From his gal and his fam' 'cause they never meet up
54
This heat
55
Moves like a beast and he gotta keep it up
56
Chill out, take a deep breath
57
What's the point of chasing achievements?
58
Do it for the love or just leave it
59
It's not about the money you bleed this
60
Do it for the kid
61
Who wants to feel strong
62
With his eyes screwed shut
63
And his headphones on
64
Do it for heads
65
All at the rave
66
Sweating away
67
Like you back in the day
68
Do it for fans
69
On and forums and blogs
70
Forget competition, ignore what they're on
71
There's money you're owed
72
And some you owe
73
But never sell out and you'll be a hero
74
But people are telling him it's not enough
75
You gotta cross over, gotta move up
76
He sees that others are blowing it up
77
Wants to make something that everyone loves
78
'Cause
79
He wanna plays concerts, not clubs
80
He wants a hotel with a hot tub
81
So-called heads wanna show real love
82
Then they wouldn't download for free so get stuffed
83
He wants songs in ads and in pubs
84
He wants wong from sponsors and charts
85
He wanna reach everybody
86
Everyone wanna piece of him, anyway
87
He'll make the piece large
88
Yeah, major label he signs
89
"Make me a star,
90
I'm sick of the grind
91
I'll play the part, take the weight off my mind
92
Ice up the cake and we'll all have a slice"
93
Yeah, who's crossing over, switch
94
They only hate because he's getting rich
95
Wanna get money then target the kids
96
Half of it's singles and half of it's shit
97
Yeah, I'm playing television
98
Cashing it in and they flashing the skin
99
They wanna swing on his platinum ting
100
Eh, oh, he's banging telly bitches
101
Yeah, 'nuff fans stopping fans, "Hey!"
102
First time he had a chat with the bray
103
Second one just shook his head and said safe
104
Now he just blanks 'em like "Move out my way!"
105
He started off wanting to make what he loves
106
Then it became
107
All about chasing status
108
And it's a pain
109
So now he just tries to make what they want
110
Who can say
111
If it's right or wrong
112
I guess the game's fucked
