Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
And every single day he went to play
He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away
And I said
"Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance"
[Verse 2]
Aye, they say my bars are so UK, beats are well J.A.
Man, original rudeboy, they say
My life's always like an away day
And I may say, "Today's been a great day"
My barber just gave me a great fade
And I keep gettin' smiles from the ladies
Got P's in my pocket from payday
Peep stars when I played on the main stage
[Verse 3]
So I may have to say, "Pick up and save me"
It's why I'm keepin' it calm on the gray days
Let 'em talk, I don't care what they say
"Smile in my face, mate, I raise a straight face"
Got my lyrics and my business doin' great, mate
Probably kill 'em with the treble and the bass way
It don't matter 'bout the color of your face man
I send 'em out of space, go and find another race, mate
[Verse 4]
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
And every single day he went to play
He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away
And I said
"Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance"
[Verse 5]
Aye, all the rude girls know that I'm special like the Devil
Season settle, you not on my level
You not locked in to the signs of a rebel
The rudeboy's back, eh, speak of the devil
Ain't no wisdom spillin' from my temple
Jot it with a pencil, listen and attention
No dull moments, everyday's eventful
It's mental when you're livin' it essential
Aye, check my dance or swagger, champion lover
I am an original man for man nutter, no man done better
You see me at the dance, say, "That's my brother"
Rub-rub-a-dub till the ting get turn up
If a sound boy tests, tell a rudeboy shut up
Rudeboy fade and my top button done up
Two tone, I don't need no color
[Verse 6]
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
And every single day he went to play
He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away
And I said
"Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance"
[Verse 7]
Aye, sit with it, so man, I step with it
Big rhythms, fit women, I go on like a rudeboy
Act fit-ish, so slick it is fitted, just go on, I'm wicked
My star like a rudeboy
Plot thickens, I'm young, unrestricted, I'm winnin', I'm livin'
I'm wild like a rudeboy
My lyrics are shiftin' the tickets, I'm rude, not explicit
I talk like a rudeboy
I run the dancehall like a rudeboy
No,I don't give a damn, like a rudeboy
I've got the charm of a rudeboy
And you know I say I smile like a rudeboy
You I've never ever been a good boy
But you know, man, I got the suave of a rudeboy, check
Original like a rudeboy
Skank out to my style like a rudeboy
[Verse 8]
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance
And every single day he went to play
He stepped into the dance to make the darkness go away
And I said
"Mama didn't raise this rudeboy
He was raised in the dance"
