[Chorus]

Blud when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

Better run when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

[Verse 1]

One-to-the-two-to-the-three-to-the-four

Limehouse police knocking at my door

Twelve black boots on my bedroom floor

What they want with Rascal I'm not sure

Took me to the station 8:30

For a fight that I had recently

Say they got me on CCTV

And a pussyole boy's told on me

Can't understand why these brers keep snitching

Can't understand why these brers keep bitching

Now I'm hot tempered, feel like switching

Can't stand still, trigger finger itching

Gotta stay calm, gotta keep my cool

If I go jail, I'll be a damn fool

Gotta rise up, gotta stand up tall

Can't let them see the end of Dizzee Rascal

[Chorus]

Blud when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

Better run when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

[Interlude]

Yo man, let's take it back to that old-school storytelling shit

Get me?

[Verse 2]

One day I was with my bredren Adar roaming the street

On the main road, hungry looking for something to eat

Not no burger and no chips, shit that's easily digested

It's that shit that if you re caught you'll be easily arrested

We was on a robbing spree, I forgot to mention Clayton

Was this bredder rolling with us, he was scared and it was blatant

He was prang but back to the story, Adar spotted a man

Straight ahead of us in the distance with his wifey holding hands

So we followed them through this little alleyway into the flats

When we thought the time was perfect, we crept up and we attacked

I took the first swing, unexpected causing panic

We was ruthless causing agony in public, it was tragic

Me and Adar lost the plot, acting like we was from Hell

Beat this bredder to the floor, moved his wifey up as well

Clayton stood back shaking, wishing that he'd never came

Then from out of nowhere was Alicia screaming out my name

She went my school, she saw it all, and by this time, she's crying

And to make it worse I'm hearing sirens, I ain't even trying to hang around

[Chorus]

Blud when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

Better run when you hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

[Bridge]

I can hear them sirens coming

I can hear them sirens coming

I break the law, I will never change

I break the law, I will never change

I break the law, I will never change

Step into my zone, get your whole face re-arranged

[Verse 3]

See me on the telly but I ain't no actor

Running through the street bait-faced, it's a jackwa

Broad daylight, no shame like a lunatic

Rain, hail, sleet or snow, I ain't new to it

Show me what you got, better give it up quickly

Lay them on their back if they chat back swiftly

Better mind out when they come through the manor, man

Keep them on their toes like Hammer, man

It's no joke, man, woman, and child I'm seeking

See, no sex, no age, I'm creeping

Anything for the dough, code of the wheelers

Duck from the feds and I roll with the dealers

Par with the hard heads and young offenders

No, my life ain't nothing like EastEnders

Step into my zone, get your whole face re-arranged

I break the law, I will never change
