[Intro]

Ay yo Rish, I'm ready man

Whenever you are lets go

Yeah yeah, lets go


[Verse 1]

Yo, so this is it, finally, years of dreamin' left behind me

Cuz what they said would never happen, happened when they signed me

I'm still brown, I'm still the way I was when they declined me

Couldn't find me a niche, or peeps who wanna buy me

Suddenly singing super seeded all the years of rhyming

Bend it like Beckham, Jay-Z's in fashion, look at the timing

Put rap behind me and made R'n'B as my primary

Got a major deal but couldn't help the feel inside of me

A touch of rivalry, a battle with the other side of me

Did I turn my back on the person who I inspired to be?

This is me against myself so take a ride with me

Rish, Rish hold up, hold up...


[Skit]

Label executive: "Jay, Jay what in God's name are you doing?!"

Jay Sean: "I'm recording my intro man, what's up? Why you screwing?"

Label executive: "I told you before, UK hip-hop doesn't sell

Write songs about girls, coz that'll do well

My songs none of this hip-hop nonsense

People don't care about music that's too concious

Now switch off all this rubbish and just sing

Hmm, now how the hell do you stop this bloody thing"
