Intro (Balcony Skit)

(álbum: Me Against Myself - 2004)

Ay yo Rish, I'm ready man
Whenever you are let's go
Yeah yeah, let's go

Yo, so this is it, finally, years of dreaming left behind me
'Cause what they said would never happen, happened when they signed me
I'm still brown, I'm still the way I was when they declined me
Couldn't find me a niche, or peeps who wanna buy me
Suddenly singing super seeded all the years of rhyming
"Bend It Like Beckham". Jay-Z's in fashion, look at the timing
Put rap behind me and made R'n'B as my primary
Got a major deal but couldn't help the feel inside of me
A touch of rivalry, a battle with the other side of me
Did I turn my back on the person who I inspired to be?
This is me against myself so take a ride with me
Rish, Rish hold up, hold up...

[Label executive:] "Jay, Jay, what in God's name are you doing?!"

[Jay Sean:] "I'm recording my intro man, what's up? Why you screwing?"

[Label executive:]
"I told you before. UK hip-hop doesn't sell
Write songs about girls, 'cause that'll do well
My songs none of this hip-hop nonsense
People don't care about music that's too conscious
Now switch off all this rubbish and just sing
Hmm, now how the hell do you stop this bloody thing."
