lyrics
Where you've got an ASBO I've got GCSEs
Hell, the size of my brain, makes you weak at the knees
I've got my pick of the best universities
Cos my daddy got the cash to pay all them fees.
To me an A's a bad grade, but to you its a dream
I bet you've nev-er played crick-et, me I bowl with the seam
I take my mother fucking scones with the strawberries and cream
Are you catching my drift , yes this rap's got a theme!
(MONEY)
Just cos my daddy's rich,
(MONEY)
No need to whine and bitch
(MONEY)
Just cos I pay for my school
(MONEY)
And own a swimming pool
While I'm lying in Hawaii, with the sun on my back
Your mother's down behind a dumpster, sucking for crack
And our only difference is the education you lack
... That and daddy's platinum card.
What your daddy makes a year, mine makes in a day
Going to an all boy's school don't mean that I'm gay
What happens in the dorms at night, I'd rather not say
But when we're forced to kneel, (man) it isn't to pray
(MONEY)
Just cos my daddy's rich,
(MONEY)
No need to whine and bitch
(MONEY)
Just cos I own five cars
(MONEY)
And drink in high class bars
Burberry was our's first, now we're taking it back
No, you can't call me a racist, cos my chauffeur is black
Well my ex-chauffeur, because we had to give him the sack
That's what you get for demonstrating the war in Iraq
When I grow up, I wonder, Oh what will I be?
I think I'll have a little go as a Tori MP
I'll fix the dry rot that's plaguing my favourite tree
Claim it all back on expenses, you can buy it for me.
While I'm at it, Joe Public you can clean my moat
And pay to get this caviar cleaned off my coat
And put down a deposit on a 40ft boat
Give me any excuse, and I'll flipping well gloat
(MONEY)
Just cos my daddy's rich,
(MONEY)
No need to whine and bitch
(MONEY)
I rock designer blazers
(MONEY)
Coke parties everyday-sa
You've got your bling, your cap, your hood and your knife
Stabbing people in the face, and getting thirty to life
While I'm safe inside my mansion with no trouble or strife
You're jealous right ... I know.
