Black Boys (Remix One)

[Verse 1: Bashy] Yo, Black boys, Black boys, yeah, we're all Black boys I can't stop screaming it I could have left my version and done, took the glory I said "nah, I'm not leaving it" It's bigger than just having me on it, 'cause We need the whole scene on it So if you ain't done a version, send me your email I'll send you the beat so you can breathe on it Black boys are achieving tings All around the world back to Stevenage Take a page from their book, start reading it Put this track on repeat, start beating it Start feeling it, Black boys, it's our time It's not a dream, believe in it I wrote "Black Boys" because we needed it This is deep shit, guess who I brought for the remix? [Verse 2: Ghetts] Just 'cause I'm darkskin, I can't win They wanna shut down the scene that my heart's in So it's hard to be positive That's why most of my bars are the opposite Just 'cause my skin's black If I say I've got a gun, watch the outcome after the impact Let me know why some think that I'm the typical Black stereotype When feds pass me, they spin back I wonder why, am I under surveillance? Guess what? I'm probably your daughter and son's entertainment When I pass away, my people'll march for days I'm Malcolm X without the specs Rosa Parks with a load of bars I'll speak out, if I can't sit here I'll take the seat out 'Til the end of my days, I'll be proud I'm like sister, you can see now Go back to your roots, take your weave out I'm like fam, we ain't gotta beef out Go back to my roots, then peace will be found Don't forget where we came from, being ashamed's wrong And I still wanna see a Black James Bond [Verse 3: Wretch 32] Look, I like to illustrate dreams So I put my life in my lyrics so the youts can imitate me 'Cah music innovates Ps And I'm dying to see them live and make queens Or kings like Ledley that play for Tottenham The game has not forgot them And failing's not an option Now we got one Choice as well as 1Xtra Now DJs can step up Masterstepz, Twin, Ace and Vis Have made me say convinced And I smile when I see our tunes on the list 'Cah we're all tryna make it famous The New Nation, that's my favourite paper We're authors, we're all like Danny Walkers So RWD has to call us 'Cause we can't forget the past, RIP Bernie Grant And my uncle Stafford's a part of his trust fund I'll prosper for my loved ones And I'll rise for my one son And SK Vibemakers and Ness Are rap and grime saviours and yes We're moving on Young Black boys, please don't prove us wrong [Verse 4: Scorcher] I loved when I saw [Mill?] on The Bill acting so will I could feel it was real When he touched the curb, I swear that he touched a nerve Just like Lemar in Fame Academy Went double platinum and made a salary He gave hope to thousands Like you ain't gotta get roped into the road surroundings Try poems and acting Becah' Asher D did it right next to 50 And Bullet Boy showed you the ends are risky And with this amount of talent in the scene right now Why there ain't no deal's a mystery But Sway repped UK on BET And Dizzee went gold twice In the same week Kanye and 50 dropped K.A still sold nice And he comes from a scene like me where we all write lyrics And skip on DaVinChe beats And hone our skills with a ball when we're in the streets 'Cah we're tryna get signed like Shaun Wright-Phillips Before I finish, I got a name to say: Corinne Bailey-Rae I know I broke the rules but safe ain't the way to play Black people pave the way [Chorus: Bashy] Black boys, black boys Yeah we're all black boys And one day we're gonna be black men And one day we might have black boys And we gotta teach them to be black men [Post-Chorus: Loick Essien] Ooh, child Things are gonna get easier Ooh, child Things will get brighter Ooh, child Things are gonna get easier Ooh, child Things will get brighter
