Even though Ray come across slow
Let's take a look at Ray today, today, today
This was clearly a positive sign
No gifts and glamor included
Broke shit down, brung another new flow
1:00 A.M. till 3, be in school by 9
Why not, then he took a little trot to DJ Targets squat
Learnin' 'bout beats, breaks and bars
Frustrated wiv bein' around the way would say, "I'm bored"
But he stoof firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
Went through dramas along the way
Lets call this young man, Ray
More concerned wiv you know, the grime
Went through dramas along the way
But he took 'em 'cos it was a bargain and it was a good'en
And in exchange got turntables off Tony
Went through dramas along the way
But he stood firm, pressed on wiv the wordplay
Not only, were they whack, they were wooden
Like crime for money, dough, crime pays, didn't ya know?
Still it didn't make Ray wanna give up the fight
Young gun soldiers but it all flopped
Some resented him thus presentin' him with pure dumbness like retards
Didn't chat about champagne and cars
Among these so called underground stars
Ray jus picked up the mic, would write, lyrics while excluded
Made beats in the back room
Made it a touch difficult to shine
And he said to himself, "Who wouldn't?"
Stood outside the door and knocked
Then Ray had little click, they were hot
Asked what jungle records you got?
Must be somethin' you wanna get shot, of, blot
Then they got a little bit o'radio airtime
It didn't matter, Ray would say, "Okay, I'm gonna be a real star one day"
Until one day gathered up some change
Din't buy beats, he ready to quit, gave him the whole lot
Teacher gave him a new spare time
