[Intro: Little Derek] Ladies and gentleman Welcome to the end of the beginning My name is Sway A.k.a Little Derek And right now I'm about to take you To the very beginning Before the after Prior to the present Before the hype Before the magazines Before the buzz And before the mixtapes Back to the blood, sweat and tears Growing up I had too much on my mind I needed a way to get all of this crap out of my head So I chose music This is my beginning This is my introduction This is my dream Listen very carefully This is my demo [Verse 1: Sway] It's the arrival of DCYpha Live from this London dungeon (Underground) That's where I've been puttin' it down for my people on the North side (Get up) East side (Get up) West side (Get up) South side (Get up) Inside (Yeah) Outside (Yeah) Get up, Get up, Get up, Get up Un-der...(Underground) That's what I'm saying yeah And for years, that's how long I waited here And I'm prepared Back then people never wanted to hear me though That's when I had to shoot a little video Now I'm giving you the album, here we go! Ever since I was a little kid about 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 I always wanted to be bigger than Big Ben But dreams can easily come to an end When your living in the big L.O.N.D.O.N The city that never sleeps so how do we dream? Little kids forced to think like men And the big smoke just gets you lean To get a good start in life I took a run up instead of picking a gun up I picked up a pen and now I shoot for the sky Run up on the clouds That's why I got one up on you clowns Now I'm becoming the talk of the town Just yesterday I was walking around Trying to figure out how I'm gonna come up on the crown Now I'm in the middle when the gathering crowds are saying: (Sway) The beginning is still in my memory (Sway) I was sitting in my school assembly (Sway) Didn't listen what the teachers telling me (Sway) I was thinking "will I live to seventy?" (Sway) And if I die will the world remember me? (Sway) Who's my friends and who's my enemies? (Sway) Who will love and who will envy me? (Sway) Now I'm ready for whatever is meant to be (Sway [x20]) I put my blood sweat and tears in this music I will not fail You're listening to This is my demo [Verse 2: Sway] Once upon a time in a place called Harringay Lived this average African black kid trying to get up in this (Industry) Flat 23, Brook Road he would practice rapping rapidly This rap MC had a lot to say with a little time so he rapped quick Not to say he never had friends but he never had many Never had a penny to access the (Industry) 05/09/82: Flew back to the mother land where he grew Flew back to the other land he was two English boy with an African accent 05/09/92: Using the music rooms at his school Recording riddims then he rid 'em with riddles Now he's an African boy with an English accent Now he's 22 and you're listening to His first official LP debut And I got the energy (Uh) I'm not just an n.i.g.(Uh) I'm still hungry and I'm eag (Uh) And I'm more ready than I've ever been (Uh) Because I've been persuading this thing from school Since Commodore, Atari and Amiga Remember me sir? I ain't in it to be number two Five albums that's what I'm gonna do Five albums then I'm done, then I'm through The enemies (Uhhh) can bite the dust This is all before the hype, the buzz This is all before the wife, the lust The lies, the thugs with knives and guns It's entertainment for you but it's life for us It's time to buzz my niggas (Sway) The beginning is still in my memory (Sway) I was sitting in my school assembly (Sway) Didn't listen what the teachers telling me (Sway) I was thinking "will I live to seventy?" (Sway) And if I die will the world remember me? (Sway) Who's my friends and who's my enemies? (Sway) Who will love and who will envy me? (Sway) Now I'm ready for whatever is meant to be (Sway [x20]) I put my blood sweat and tears in this music I will not fail You're listening to This is my demo {Left side Islamic prayer} {Right side Christian prayer} Our Father who art in heaven Hallowed be thy name Thy kingdom come Thy will be done On earth, as it is in heaven Give us this day our daily bread And forgive us our trespasses As we forgive those who trespass against us And lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For thine is the kingdom And the power And the glory For ever and ever Amen [Verse 3: Sway] I've got angels on my Nokia I'm out here and I got no fear No foes or no phobias So all those plotting with the obeahs And voodoo there's no hope for ya Hang yourself I got rope for ya I said there's no hope for ya Hang yourself I got rope for ya Cause God would never let the devil harm any G's And when I'm in the dark read psalms 23 I'm trying to do good on the path for the beast A place where the bad boys are the police Trapped in between the Imam and the priest And I can't see If I'm gonna be in the Church with a cross around my neck Or in a Mosque with a Qur'an and a palm full of beads (Sway) The beginning is still in my memory (Sway) I was sitting in my school assembly (Sway) Didn't listen what the teachers telling me (Sway) I was thinking "will I live to seventy?" (Sway) And if I die will the world remember me? (Sway) Who's my friends and who's my enemies? (Sway) Who will love and who will envy me? (Sway) Now I'm ready for whatever is meant to be (Sway [x20]) I put my blood sweat and tears in this music I will not fail You're listening to This is my demo
