[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 d** 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
