Little Derek (feat. Baby Blue)

Little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Yeah,  little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Stepped out my house, I'm feelin' fresh and brand new

Olu did the trim, Rihanna done the hairdo

And everything I wear's new

Maharishi jacket, Puma top, Boxfresh jeans, and Nike cam boots

Spray a little Versace Dreamer on me too

So every girl who pass is like, ooh-ooh

Police don't pull us over like woo-woo

'Cause their kids watch MTV and Channel U, U

But life ain't always been fine like Baby Blue

'Cause when you do UK rap, you're number two

'Cause the USA ain't givin' us space to break through

So I'm on the grind, tryna pioneer a breakthrough

Gotta keep the punters happy, to tango it takes two

And it seems like I'm the rapper the people take to

I've never had a lot, with what I've got I've made do

And now I'm blowin' up in this b**** like move, move, move

Little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Yeah, little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Step out the ride, I'm feelin' nice and quite fly

I'm tryin' to reach the top, I see the top is quite high

Steady on the grind, tryna get my face up in The Source

So I keep my faith up in the force up in the bright white sky

Gettin' calls from these record label bosses like "Hi!"

And I've been inside their offices and listened to their promises

But no one's made me offers yet that I could not deny

And I been makin' profits off this, my mixtape's fly

Life ain't always been pretty like, nah

On the north side of the city where it's gritty like pie

We did what we had to done to get by

Hopin' not to get caught up in no silly drive-by

Little Derek wrote lyrics while the others got high

And he ended up in HMV instead of HMP

'Cause street life could only end one way

Your friend cryin' on the scene like why, why, why?

Little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Yeah, little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Knowin' real fame, that's what I used to dream about

That everyone would know my name

And they would scream it out

Knowin' my song words and sing along too

And I would walk down the street and hear, "Blue, blue, blue"

My video's rotatin', so I got these execs debatin'

About whether I'm taken

And these R&B guys is askin' the same thing

Callin' up my phone, wonderin' whether I'm datin'

I turn my passion to career, how could I lose out?

Quit my nine to five so I don't have to sell shoes now

My CDs are movin', that's the rout that I'm choosin'

So I got to make it through, through, through

Little Rachel used to look up to the sky to

Analyze the planets and wonder if I could shine too

So now they ask how I'm doin', I say

"Little Rachel's doin' okay" (Okay)

Little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do

Yeah, little Derek's doin' okay, yeah

Little Derek's doin' fine, fine

Little Derek's doin' cool, cool

You know how we do
