So Alive

(album: Love.Live.Life - 2010)

[Skepta:]
Yeah
Skepta
Boy Better Know
N-Dubz

I never have a dream when I go to sleep at night
My dream begins when I walk outside
Now I'm on stage and I feel like I'm looking through Michael Jackson's eyes
Stories, rumours and accusations, so I gotta stay self-conscious
Of my hand gestures before they call me a Mason or say that I'm working with Satan
But even a blind man could see, I would never sell my soul for the P
When you're looking at Skepta, you're looking at grime so the only thing I gotta stay true to is me
I don't need a helping hand, stand up tall, I'm my own man
Find me on the tallest building in the country singing as loud as I can

[Dappy & Tulisa (Skepta):]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(S-K-E-P-T-A)
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky
It's time to enjoy the sun 'cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive
(Boy Better Know, oh yeah)

[Dappy {Fazer}:]
Shit, what have I done? (Ah)
Raa, everyone singing along to my bars
Man, went triple platinum, see me, I'm tryna do what Elvis done {Uh-huh, uh-huh}
And the stage is way too big for me
Labels never thought this guy from the ghetto could make all these girls sing for me
Na na, na na, na na nai
I got a big na na chain hanging down to my navel
Tell the bartender, "Take a fat bottle of champagne over to Polydor's table" (Haha)
Big men acting like school kids
Say they're gonna run up on me with a full clip (What?)
So I pull down the two flaps on my hat 'cause I didn't want to hear that bullshit

[Dappy & Tulisa (Dappy):]
I-I feel so alive, so alive
(D-A-double P-to-the-Z)
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky (Ayy)
It's time to enjoy the sun 'cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive
(Na na, na na, na na nai)

[Fazer:]
It's time to get dark (What?), blacker than Cilla
Fazer a.k.a. six-figure-nigga (Brap)
Man said I got robbed for my chain 'til I put a picture on Skepta's Twitter (Bang)
When I go to the Gucci store, I dress rags (Uh)
Security think that I ain't gonna buy shit (Uh)
Then I pull out my card and swipe it, bowl out with twenty bags (Bowl)
If I like them (Uh), cop them (Uh)
Fuck a hater (Yeah), can't stop them (Raa)
MCs wanna diss N-Dubz but they can't get a top twenty, let alone a top ten (Haha)
So if it weren't for the fans, I would've had a hater's blood on my hands (Uh)
I'm a mastermind behind the keyboard so I'ma carry on stacking up these grands

[Dappy & Tulisa (Dappy) {Fazer}:]
I-I feel so alive, so alive (whoa)
{F-A-Z-E-to-the-R}
Got my two feet on the ground
But it feels like I'm in the sky (Ayy)
It's time to enjoy the sun 'cause we made it through the rain
Put your hands up in the sky like you're tryna touch a plane
I feel so alive, so alive
(Na na, na na, na na nai)
