it’s been a while since i was on the scene
i got the itch, i wanna see
if i can still instill the feeling that would follow me
from backstreet roads to limousines
and making dirty ends meet
executives said forget my friends
I’m coming back home to see how the story ends
And have a party
we’re gonna party
let’s have a party
we’re gonna party tonight
it’s been a while since i was on the scene
push bastards, now they push to see
me high up on the stage, noddin’ my head, i’m all the rage
from cobblestone streets to coppin’ g’s
i made some friends but lost the beat
listen to this story i weave
it all started when i hit the scene
To—
have a party
we’re gonna party
let’s have a party
we’re gonna party tonight
dirty money is something i've got,
check your bags, the cash may be gone
dirty money is something we’ve got,
check your bags, the cash may be gone

I M NOT

i know for sure what i’m not
take shots, i’m fast and you’re not
you say i’m cheap and i’m not
you talk the shit but you are not
you’re just a snitch and i’m not
you take your steps, you dodge to the left, slam! go right into coat check
you’re just a pest and I’m not
turn the lights down fast
people in the back,
people in the front
i heard what you said
BUT I AM NOT
I’m that guy up on the stage,
that you wish you could be
on my toes and twirling gracefully
I can’t believe this party,
these people you call company
guess this gets you off,
but that's not me
I’m hesitant to call out names
outnumbered, luck is just a game
i see the look on your face, think fast, hold up, out comes my switchblade
you think i’m fake, but i’m not
don’t test me, stay with your lot
you think a gram is a lot but you push light weight -- something i’m not
it’s like these divvy kids got their education
from a buncha fuckin’ cobblers, ya know
spilling naff out their poxy, numpty shit’oles
well take a fuckin’ lesson you gits,
bug off before the shit gets serious … and someone gets ert…
you too, grandad, i mean it.
don’t get cheeky and just beat it, sunshine
I’m that guy up on the stage,
that you wish you could be
my suits don’t fit anyone but me
I can’t believe this party,
these people you call company
they might be your friends,
but that's not me
I know for sure what i’m not xxxx

No Pier Pressure
02:43

I’m starting to think —
squeezin’ past the doorman, we’re the hittin’ street
my security team, crusin’ slow behind us, you’re looking at me
come on, come on, your breath in my ear
hearts beat fast, we’re headed to the pier
i’ve got money, you’ve got time
and i heard it’s awful nice
everybody, everybody, drop those tunes and let’s all party
louder, faster, no pier pressure, we’ve got the whole night
yeah we’re setting the scene
grab our gear from the trunk, now we’re something to see
got my shades and my cleats, grip the mic for the traction i need
‘cause you’re so lovely, grab and pull me
now it’s back to the beat, so let’s rip it up from ‘em jeremy
come on, come on, the wind in my hair
fists raised high, we conquered the pier
i’ve got money, you’ve got time
let’s go for a ride
everybody, everybody drop those tunes and lets all party
louder, faster, no pier pressure, we’ve got the whole night
your picture, a heart shaped locket
i’ll keep it in my back pocket
on the steps of your apartment, no goodbyes i’ll see you again

you look at me with tender eyes
and say "i’ll see you soon”
I know i’ll never call you up,
as you disappear from view
But if i had it my way
wet cobblestone and empty air
i watch the break of day
I can’t control the things I want
so i let them slip away
but if i had it my way it wouldn’t get this far.
if i had it my way i’d never break your heart.
if i had it my way we’d dance among the stars,
but gravity will pull
us apart

Fashion Week In Oslo
02:20
|
|

i stumble through a doorway into your fashion show
my head is all in shambles and the bourbon keeps me cold
i have to tell you who i am, like you don’t already know
my tinted shades in wire frames, red eye to oslo, like you didn’t know
the clock is ticking, and i’m slipping, i wander streets alone
i stumble through a doorway into your fashion show
i stumble through a doorway into your shitty fashion show
my head is all in shambles and the bourbon keeps me cold
the clock is ticking, and i’m slipping, i don’t wanna be alone
i stumble through a doorway into your shitty fashion show
(fuck oslo)
the doorman says i have to leave, but i’m in the fucking zone
i push him back, and he reacts, he grabs me by the throat
i spot you by the coat check, and you’re staring at your phone
i catch your eye, he drags me by, thrown out on the streets of oslo

Dirty Money
02:18
|
|
||
i fumble keys — desperately
i’m looking back — the best of me
all these crowds — testing me
and i don’t know why,
amber waves climb their way above city skies
and i don’t know how,
looking for something i may never find
it’s somewhere out there
in between soft images, fear and lies
that i can’t see straight
...old friends faces start to dissipate
all alone in the pouring rain…
this fire burns still
seasons seem to change, and everybody stays the same
dirty money took that all away from me
honesty and grace, it’s something i can't face, but
dirty money took it all away from me
passionate respect —— respecting passionately
passing on these opportunities passing me rapidly
so anxiously avoiding, people say shit just happens to me
see you on the subway, check a glance, i’m so actively
avoiding confrontation i’ve been walking on these eggshells since the day you said you’ve moved on
and you said just take the cash and leave
spending all this dirty money i can’t even see my feet
praying that the beat comes in to save me, hit it Jeremy
(we should get some lattes girl
don’t hate me ‘cause i’m fabulous
i’m in a manic state
nod my head to music by the dance floor)
seasons seem to change, and everybody stayed the same
dirty money took that all away from me
passionate embrace, the feeling and the taste, yeah
dirty money can’t take that away from me
i guess it’s time now, the dance floors running out
i’ll say goodbye now, i’ll say goodbye now
