Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Aye, no standards, you zee it?
Yeah
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
C'mon, 12er man, shit
Yeah
Oh, I don't waste your time
I just wanna live this life
'Cause I'm free
[Chorus]
Can we do the shang-didi-dang-di-dang-di-dang, hey
Shang-didi-dang-di-dang-di-dang
Can we do the shang-didi-dang-di-dang-di-dang, hey
Shang-didi-dang-di-dang-di-dang, hey
[Verse 1]
They said I got drugs, no I don't
They say I smoke weed, maybe, oh
Shang-didi-dang-di-dang-di-dang, hey
If you come to the spot you’ll get yourself laid
I'm not about it, I don't claim to be
Former friends will take you for 50p
I'm not about it, but my friends will
Rob your chain for a rangadang, hey
[Chorus]
My brother's got the shang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
My sister's got the shang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
My brother's got the shang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Rang-en-dadang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Don't come to London, you can get robbed
Don't come to London, you can get pshh, for your
Rang-en-dadang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Rang-en-ladang-ga-dang-ah-dang
I got my hood mates and my white ****
I got my hood mates and my–yo
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Listen to the sound, are you hearing me?
When I put my boots to the ground, nothing in my way
By the time you turn around, you can barely see
Circles round you, I move so fast now, I levitate
Everybody talk like they all got heart on this block
I stay on my own, I'm just taking it all in stock
See we all got game, I'm 'bout to play 'em like a disc jock
Try to hold me down, I fight the power with my fist up
Some be sayin' shit, still I see they follow me
Others play me close but I know they enemies
Do I dare ya?
Think I gotta say hey
Are we here, yeah?
Think I gotta say hey
[Chorus]
My brother's got the shang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
My sister's got the shang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Snitchin' on the song, that's how you get weighed
With the shang-ala-dang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Never rat on your brothers, get paid
Never rat on your brothers, get paid
With the shang-ada-dang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
The police wanna arrest me and my mates
I just wanna get myself some good grades
My mum told that she’s gonna send me away
With the shang-ala-dang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
Shang-ala-dang-ah-lang-ah-lang, hey
[Outro]
I’m a British boy living in a British country
I’m a black boy living in a white country
And a white boy living in a Black Country
'Cause they don't love me and I know all me with the shang-ala-dang-ah-dang-ah-dang, hey
