Bad Advice

[Verse 1]

He’s setting up his speakers

The other week I seen him up Market Street

He was telling me he’s getting all the pennies in

CDs in the plastic sheets

Excuse me do you like rap music?

Wait listen to me spit real quick

Do you wanna buy something?

If you like it you can chuck man a few quid

He come equipped with the headphones

Still dreams of making it big

He rock a tin foil hat in the sunshine

Waiting for the lightning strike to hit

[Chorus]

Bredren he’s far out

He’s really going in

Sitting in spaceship made of cardboard

He gonna burn down everything

He wanna shoot for the stars and that

But the car it’s got no engine

He ride around til the wheels turn loose

Climb out start swinging for revenge’n

Cos when you start looking like that

Trust me all of the knives come out

You could be the nicest guy in the world

They will smile back at you with a grin

Trust me bad advice

Given in a confident voice

Is a terrible thing

[Verse 2]

He had a chat with his uncle

He said he need it more commercial

Get your face on one of them tv shows

It could really work out well for you

He went out got a new pair of Jordans

And to be fair he killed the audition

He freestyled thru a few rounds

But after a bit the judges didn’t pick him

On the road now they know him a little

He’s got a banner as seen on the telly

He starts to feel like it might be real

The public love a bit of novelty don’t they

And as the years roll by

He’s gripping that mic real tight

Watching the people walking on

And he sees the fashion start to change

[Chorus]

Bredren he’s far out

He’s really going in

Sitting in spaceship made of cardboard

He gonna burn down everything

He wanna shoot for the stars and that

But the car it’s got no engine

He ride around til the wheels turn loose

Climb out start swinging for revenge’n

Cos when you start looking like that

Trust me all of the knives come out

You could be the nicest guy in the world

They will smile back at you with a grin

Trust me bad advice

Given in a confident voice

Is a terrible thing
