I Did It

I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it (uh)
I did it, I did it (yeah)
I did it, I did it (uh)

I never expected it
Mum wants a new kitchen, I can credit it
Came from a shared kitchen, room had one bed it
Country in war, one chance, she jetted it
When she looks back now way shes regretting it
Left everything for her son to be getting it
Always had dreams about buying her council house
One day to start letting it
Then I said yo I can do way more
In England, they would call us poor
But in Africa we was rich, that's what they thought
Know I'm gonna win and I didn't come up off a draw
I was lucky in life 'cause I picked the right straw
If you watch Dave you're gonna see my face of course
Also I was with Dave on tour
Had foresight doubled the vision and eight more

I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum I'll make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it

It's funny how
All you man are moving young
My ex done hit me up and no luck
I don't wanna sort it out, like
What's that about
Now I got a little cash and clout
Uh, they wanna show me love and catch up
You could drop me out
Back then I was just up on the daily
Stations really do wanna play me
But now I sing my song
And them lot have to pay me
I love it, I love it
Then I can say I done it
Not when I'm feeling down and out, I'm sorry

I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum I'll make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it

I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum I'll make her proud
I did it, I did it (uh, yo)
I did it, I did it (uh)

If you wanna do something different, they say you can't do it
Use their energy to charge you up so you pursue it
Kill it, you can get to the top if you slew it
And one day they'll be like, "Yo man, I knew it", uh
It's funny how the tables turn
Your bad vibes fuel the fire make it burn
For every screw face you felt that's stern
Do a big fat smile and it'll make 'em gurn, uh
'Cause you could never stop my good vibes, the hood lies
Fam you're more scared of a road man than the roadman
When you cross do you look twice?
Don't let 'em hold you down cause what you look like
The media's gassing their brains, we seen 'em cook minds
Realize that were all the same in the inside
I ain't left change 'cause we got a lot to put right
Be who I am, see, I did it, it took time

I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum I'll make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it

I did it, I did it
When I was feeling down and out
I did it, I did it
But then my times are over now
I did it, I did it
I told my mum I'll make her proud
I did it, I did it
I did it, I did it

And I was feeling down and out
But then my times are over now
I told mama I'll make her proud
