[Verse 1]

Yo Yo

I’m listening to the old, don’t ask why illmatic didn’t go gold

Or platinum, tapes in my headset, cars i’m sat in them

Ain’t prepared to fail, a record doesn’t have to sell to sail

From Wycombe to Dagenham

Lack the knack to break shells when i’m cracking them

So hear here, this is here and now, with fear and doubt

I hear all the jeer that i should fear about

Till i cheer and shout, learning curve, riding the circle

Roundabout, so it’s round about

Time to try and workout my whereabouts, whereabouts are you

Still dizzee like rascal like you smoked with a car full to get artful

Then shipped like a cartel, oops i meant cartel

Couldn’t tell was that heartfelt

My heart felt the beat when my heart beat

Pump up the cards i’ve been misdealt

Was that misspelt, strapped under the seat belt

Untouched like greenbelt, Fidel Castro, eat up the turf like astro

A to back row, ain't black though

[Hook]

It's my constant calamities

It's my bus-stop reality

I believe everything's fine

But I'm just hearing dial tones

Dial tones, dial tones

[Verse 2]

Like wu tang there’s a method man, and this ones for the madness

No method man, just stick to the plan like glue into the blackness

Boy ready to meet world, i’m the future just being honest

A profit rocket in the contest, throw your M’s up like vomit

Coz i’m great and white, looking for blood in therapy

This ecstasy got me weaponry, mixed with hennessy

Let’s proceed with jealously, rap game tendencies, tend to me

They tend to be admiring with jealousy, hell are we

Working until our idols become our rivals, fickle fans so tidal

Your revival is survival, i'm liable for power

Who’s giving me an eyeful, no tower, yeh

Coz an eye for an eye makes the world go blind

Then a tie for a tie makes a folder bind, so close the blinds

Coz they say the sweeter the berry, the darker the juice

The greyer the goose, the tougher the struggle

But the longer the juggle, the harder the noose

But i only plan to slaughter alphabets, no Papoose

[Hook]

It's my constant calamities

It's my bus-stop reality

I believe everything's fine

But I'm just hearing dial tones

Dial tones, dial tones

Dial tones, dial tones

[Verse 3]

Apologies for missing the dial tones when you dial my phone

I would pick up like drugs but i ain't always home alone

I'm too busy perfecting my craft, don’t be daft

My interest lies in my interest free overdraft, i’m minus over half

I need staff to get a leg up like calf to thigh

Beginning of the middle, but the end is nigh
