Lyrics

Man Dem

[Intro: Chip]

Yeah

Maniac

Chipmunk

Check it

[Verse 1: Chip]

See, I can't take these man dem

Some promoting beef but getting no Ps man dem

Ain't even got a mix CD

But got the cheek to send for me man dem

You're not Gs, man dem, just cause you talk hard in your bars

Look, you ain't hard in your heart

Look, if you're a bad man, be a badman

If you're a idiot, don't take the badman path (awoh)

And I can't tek the grime man dem

When they indirect and sly man dem

Go for Chip to get noticed

But don't phone me and say hi man dem

It's alright, man dem

See the AR fam? That's my man dem

See us? Cool, suppose it's all love, but hold on a second, yo

[Hook: Chip]

Wah gwan for dem man dem

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

See dem man dem?

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

[Verse 2: Chip]

They're some sad man dem

Some listen to Giggs and think that they're bad man dem

Look, in the rave waving bandanas

But don't wanna buy no shanks man dem

Some joke man dem, broke man dem

Take two tokes and choke man dem

Ask any real top-of-top shotta

The industry's the new road man dem

Units get sold man dem

And the outfit's gotta stay cold man dem

But the way they promoted hardy on tunes

You would've thought Ed Hardy was new man dem

It's alright man dem

See the AR fam? That's my man dem

See us? Cool, suppose it's all love, but hold on a second, yo

[Hook: Chip]

Wah gwan for dem man dem

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

See dem man dem?

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

[Verse 3: Chip]

I do me, man dem (chipmunk)

Switch on your TV, you're bound to see me, man dem

I do shows all over the country

And everyone's throwing up Cs, man dem

Comfortable in my seat, man dem

Face in papers and magazines, man dem

Take note of the N-Dubz tune

Like "you should never mention me" man dem

If you cannot match the CV, man dem

You're an employee, I'm a boss

And I ain't even been writing a lot

I'm flying at the top, call me Lyle and Scott

It's alright, man dem

See the AR fam? That's my man dem

See us? Cool, suppose it's all love, but hold on a second, yo

[Hook: Chip]

Wah gwan for dem man dem

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

See dem man dem?

They're only bad with ten man dem

Always chatting bout leng man dem

End up stuck in the ends man dem, that's dem man dem

[Break: Chip & Tinchy]

Get me?

Dem man dem, yeah

Understand the situation

Cloud 9 Strydes, flee

[Verse 4: Tinchy]

Don't chat about Ps, man dem

Car keys, owned them at 16, man dem (03)

And that was me back then

Money boy since '003, man dem

It's a new year, new goals, man dem

A-list, daytime radio man dem

Live across the road from broke man dem

No less than a G for the show man dem (no less)

F-L-double-E man dem

Raise hell, spray fire like three MAC-10s (buck buck buck)

You ain't gotta rate me, man dem

In fact, forget I MC, man dem (just forget that)

Just know I get paid, man dem

Plus I paved the way for dem man dem

Cool, dem in it for the fame, man dem (Strydes)

Done with the games you play, man dem (buck)
