Modestep - Evolution lyrics

rate me

Intro:

Let's go back

Listen, power

Let's go back in a day

I'm talking back in a day

Before i used to MC

When D-Power D he was just a DJ and

I was in the jungle vibe

Selling records from 9 to 5

I used to go old school

...

And skip a bus right then

I lost a vibe

Then UKG come alive

I'm talking munchie

Talking easy

Heartless and all them vibes

Then linked up with J

And then came one two three

And then came Wiley then came Dizzy, Kano and D Double E

And grime is alive

It was hard but we still survived

I know music evolves through time but

I thank you Lord that grime still alive

And I bust the mic

Now I'm on lord of the mic

Now I've linked on with modestep

2012 is a whole next hype

Alright where do I start

Let me come back let me go from the start

My life without music is a thorn in the heart

This marriage could have teared me apart

It's like taking tea from a shop

English boy Jamaican heritage

Revival listening to Morgan Heritage

UKG heartless crew...

Beating of the drums

LIstening to ABBA

...

Rastaman Dj when I was rude

And all I wanted was a Jacobs Cracker

Bob Marley, Gwen Steffani, James Brown, H-Town

For you they may hardly relate

But for me they're all in the same playground

And it all comes together like rain or cold weather

This is my Darwin Theory

Not like humans and apes

It's more like garage and grime

Now you got dubstep, I wanna moshpit

wanna hear some Modstep

Then party like a rockstar

A rockstar

Yeah, yeah

For as long as I remember

I've always had music on my agenda

Yes! Number one contendender

Yes! Lyrical skunk never heard of my centre

I used to listen to Call Fm!

Black market MC be hyper

I was a moped rider

Couple a years later

Lyrical sniper

I was a raver

Me and my man got briefing everywhere

Goin' on horrid

Heartless bears we are so solid

To be a MC I was so honoured

After years and determination

I'm part of a world known organization

Undefeated no other teaming

Fucking with a boy better know formation

I'm out of this world, I'm a alien

Me and my papers, adjacent

I was broke

Everybody loved me

Get paid now but

The hatin' is blatant

I'm sick understatement

Me and your mate both work in a basement

I used to have one pair of beat-up nikes

Now I've got countless trainers

Been doing this thing since TDK

Now it's all like top CDJ's

The way that I know that's PBK

Hardless, Fonti, Bushkin, Mighty

That man there was leaving away

...

That's what I was back in the day

But I still represent the sounds of the UK

Little bit of dubstep little bit of grime

I'm on 16 bar, no cordless mic

...

Me and my man are all in white

... Dejavu ...

One for the a track and dynamite, boom!

I don't wanna tell them what to do

I don't wanna deal with a nasty crew

Pay of you go, Party crew

Dj is and passing through

Romeo and Harvey, MC Starky

Tell your uncle and auntie

It's all mad when we come to the party
