Dizzee Rascal – Sirens

CHORUS :
Blurt when you hear the sirens coming
I can hear the sirens coming
Better run when you hear the sirens coming
I can hear the sirens coming

VERSE 1:
1 to the 2 to the 3 to the 4
Loud mouth police knocking at my door
12 black boots on my bedroom floor
What they want with Rascal I’m not sure
Took me to the station eight-thirty
For a fight that I had recently
Say they got me on CCTV
And them pussyole boys told on me
Can’t understand why these boys keep snitchin’
Can’t understand why these boys keep bitchin’
Now I’m hot tempered feel like switchin’
Can’t stand still trigger finger itchin’
Gotta stay calm, gotta keep my cool
If I go jail I’ll be a damn fool
Gotta rise up gotta stand up tall
Can’t let them see the end of Dizzee Rascal

CHORUS X2

Yo man, let’s take it back to that old school story telling shit, get me!

VERSE 2:
1 day I was with my bredren Aido roaming the street
On the main road hungry, looking for somethin’ to eat
Not no burger or no chips–shit that’s easily digested
It’s the shit that if your caught you’ll be easily arrested
We was on the robbing street, I forgot to mention Clayton
was dis bredren rollin wit us, he was scared and it was blaytent
He was panned, back to the story

Aido spotted a man
Straight ahead of us in the distance
With his wifey holdin’ hands so we followed ’em into this little alleyway into the flats
And when we thought the time was perfect we crept up and we attacked,
I took the first swing
Unexpected causin’ panic we was ruthless causin’ agony it was public it was tragic
Me and Aido lost the plot
Acting like we were from hell
Put his bredwin to the floor
Moved his wifey up as well
Clayton stood back shakin’ wishing that he never came
Then from outa nowhere was alisha screaming out my name
She’s at my school she saw it all
And by this time shes crying, and to make it worse I’m hearing sirens I ain’t even tryin’ to hang around

CHORUS X2

VERSE 3:
I can hear them sirens coming
I can hear them sirens coming
I break the law i will never change
I break the law i will never change
I break the law i will never change
Step into my zone get your whole face rearranged
See me on the telly but I ain’t no actor
Running through the street brave face–it’s a jack war
Broad daylight no shame like a lunatic
Rain, hail, sleet or snow — I ain’t new to it
Show me what you got
Better give it up quickly
Lay them on their back if they chat back swiftly
Better mind out when they come through the manor man
keep them on their toes like hammer, man
It’s no joke man, woman and child i’m seeking
See no sex, no age–i’m creeping
Anything for the dough cold and the wheelers
Duck for the feds and I roll with the dealers
Roll with the hard heads signed young offenders
No my life ain’t nothing like East Enders
Step into my zone get your whole face rearranged
I break the law i will never change
