Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, Skepta
Boy betta know
N-Dubz
[Verse 2]
I never have a dream when I go to sleep at night
My dream begins when I walk outside
Now I'm on stage and I feel like I'm looking through
Michael Jackson's eyes
Stories, rumors and accusations
So I gotta stay self-conscious of my hand gestures
Before they call me a mason
Or say that I'm working with satan
But even a blind man could see
I would never sell my soul for the P
When you're looking at Skepta
You're looking at grime
So the only thing I gotta stay true to is me
I don't need a helping hand
Stand up tall, I'm my own man
Find me on the tallest building
In the country singing as loud as I can
[Verse 3]
I, I feel so alive, so alive
S-K-E-P-T-A
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky
Like you're tryna touch a plane
I, I feel so alive, so alive
[Verse 4]
Boy better know, oh oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
Shit, what have I done?
Rah, everyone singing along to my bars
Man went triple platinum
See me, I'm trying to do what Elvis done (Uh-huh, uh-huh)
And the stage is way too big for me
Labels never thought this guy from the ghetto
Could make all these girls sing for me
Nana, nana, nana, nie-eee
I got a big Nana chain hanging down to my navel
Tell the bartender, take a fat bottle
Of champagne over to Polydor's table
Big men acting like school kids
Say there gonna run up on me with a full clip
So I pull down the two flaps on my hat
'Cause I didn't wanna hear that bullshit
[Verse 6]
I, I feel so alive, so alive
D-A double P to the Z
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky
Like you're tryna touch a plane
I, I feel so alive, so alive
Nana, nana, nana, nie-eee
[Verse 7]
It's time to get dark (What?)
Blacker than cilla
Fazer aka 6 figure **** (Brrrap!)
Man said I got rubbed for my chain
Till I put a picture on Skepta's twitter (Mad)
When I go to the Gucci store I dress rags
Security think that I ain't gonna buy shit
Then I pull out my card and swipe it
Ball out with 20 bags (Oh)
If I like them, cop them, fuck a hater
Can't stop them
MC's wanna diss N-Dubz
But they can't get a top twenty let alone a top ten (Haha)
So if it weren't for the fans
I woulda had a haters blood on my hands
I'm a mastermind behind a keyboard
So I'ma carry on staking up these grands
[Verse 8]
I, I feel so alive, so alive (Whoa)
F-A-Z-E to the R
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky (Aye)
It's time to enjoy the sun
'Cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky
Like you're tryna touch a plane
I, I feel so alive, so alive
Nana, nana, nana, nie-eee
