What ya know about being the greatest Grade one high life, living off playlist What ya know about running ya lips Ya so quick with them, you go slip with them What ya know about holding it down In it for a minute, holding it now What ya know about being a dun Ya need to hold ya lips and hush ya gums There was an older kid I knew, his name was Moody Mikey Ginger haired freckled kid who didn't really like me Always tryna bully kids at school, he tried to fight me Stuck up for my friend one day, since then it's all been feisty Give credit where it's due, he was a sick MC at school I admired the way he barred, I thought he acted kinda cool I told him this one day and yeah he boyed me like a fool he said Hold ya lips and hush ya gums Mikey had these dreams, he was destined for greatness Looked up to the stars, always wanted to be famous Money, chicks, fast cars, them typa flavours He had connections with people in right places Too hot to touch, too tough to budge basis He was the top boy, we all had to face it With some Dutch courage, I asked was there a secret He kissed his teeth, shook his head, looked at me and said What ya know about being the greatest Grade one high life, living off playlist What ya know about running ya lips Ya so quick with them, you go slip with them What ya know about holding it down In it for a minute, holding it now What ya know about being a dun Ya need to hold ya lips and hush ya gums It wasn't long before he got his first break Mikey joined radio, it must have been fate He built a fan base and they thought he was nectar He dropped a mixtape with a top notch SELECTOR! The labels came calling and he signed to a major A nice advance and a tidy little wager With some Dutch courage I asked him for a favour He kissed his teeth, shook his head, looked at me and said What ya know about being the greatest Grade one high life, living off playlist What ya know about running ya lips Ya so quick with them, you go slip with them What ya know about holding it down In it for a minute, holding it now What ya know about being a dun Ya need to hold ya lips and hush ya gums After years of success, Mikey's traveling the world Living that high life, diamonds and pearls Rolling with the rich, he's moving with the famous He picks a habit up and starts to lose focus Spending all his money on crap without caution Music that he's making, label boss' claim is awful Furthermore son you're acting like you're immortal Hold ya lips and hush ya gums It goes from bad to worse, the bank balance says zero He sees his fame shrink, he's no more a hero The media don't feel him, fans are like nugget He was a don, he's now a certified muppet Dropped from the label cause there was no profit When I see him last, he was on another planet He asked for some sheckles for some girl called Janet I kissed my teeth, shook my head, looked at him and said What ya know about being the greatest Grade one high life, living off playlist What ya know about running ya lips Ya so quick with them, you go slip with them What ya know about holding it down In it for a minute, holding it now What ya know about being a dun Ya need to hold ya lips and hush ya gums
