The Streets - Let?s Push Things Forward lyrics

rate me

This ain't the down, it's the upbeat, make it complete

So what's the story, guaranteed accuracy, enhanced CD

Latest technology, darts at treble twenty

Huge non-recoupable advance, majors be vigilant

I excel in both content and deliverance

So let's put on our classics and we'll have a little dance, shall we?

No sales pitch, no media hype

No hydro, it's nice and ripe

I speak in communications in bold type

This ain't your archetypal street sound

Scan for ultrasound

North, South, East, West and all round

And then to the Underground

[Chorus x2]

You say that everything sounds the same

And then you go buy them

There's no excuses, my friend

Let's push things forward

As we progress to the check point

I wholeheartedly agree with your viewpoint

But this ain't your typical garage joint

I make points which hold significance

That ain't a bag it's a shipment

This ain't a track, it's a movement, I got the settlement

My frequencies are transient and resonate your eardrums

I make bangers not anthems, leave that to the Artful Dodger

The broad shouldered fifty-one percent shareholder

You won't find us on Alta Vista

Cult classic not bestseller, you're gonna need more power

Plug in the free phase and the generator, crank it up to gigawatts

Critics, ready with your pot shots, the plot thickens

Put on your mittens for these sub zero conditions

But remember I'm just spitting, remember I'm just spitting

Once bitten, forever smitten

[Chorus]

Spit jewels like Eastern riches, junkie fixes

Around here we say 'birds', not bitches

As London Bridge burns down Brixton's burning up

Turns out your in luck, I knows this dodgy fuck in the Duck

So it's just another show flick for your local city poet

In case you geezers don't know it, let's push things forward

It's a tall order but we're taller, calling all maulers

Back street brawlers, corner shop crawlers, victory's flawless

Love us or hates us but don't slate us

Don't conform to formulas, pop genres and such

Sharp darts, double dutch, parked cars troubles you much

With more bud - let's. push. things. forward

[Chorus]
