Middle class kid from a mainly white neighbourhood Listening to hip-hop a lot starting to make it up From whatever age he was it was his greatest love So because he dint fit in he should have gave it up? No but he looks ridiculous A privileged kid from Bingley in his living room scribbling stuff Page after page of "cat, hat, simple, pimple" Made this individual considerably less miserable So that's a good reason to keep doing it But music has this way of making you need approval of it And soon as it's a private hobby to jot bars You're on an open mic being fluid as hot tar Died on your arse, so? Let's do it again Meet another guy that raps now that's you and a friend And two heads are better than one, you work together for some- -time, once dumb rhymes see sunshine you're stepping 'em up Cos steel sharpens steel and before you know it You're putting out some record you think is so sick And in years it won't be, it's a piece of your past You either feel nostalgic, or treat it as crap But that's by the by cos a white kid that liked to write Has now got a trade he's trying to ply So that's from there to here, and before I end this chapter I'm still embarrassed to ever call myself a rapper From New York Made by the less fortunate To West Yorks No-one knows where Yorkshire is From New York Still feel I was born for it To West Yorks No less of an awkward thing From New York Made by the less fortunate To West Yorks No-one cares where Yorkshire is From New York Still feel I was born for it To West Yorks No less of an awkward thing I still cringe when people rap on telly Outside of the right context, rap's so silly The good thing about rap is everyone can have a go The bad thing about rap is everyone can have a go And I was so infatuated, the 90s was great I was captivated The rappers were animated, tracks were the greatest And growing up it was there for everyone to see For God's sake the Fugees were number one for weeks But then I met 80s heads who hated 90s rap It's always after that 93ish time in fact And mine was pretty much, when 50 Cent did In Da Club Paved way for your Little Wayne's and I couldn't give a f But everyone's got their poison and everyone's got their reasons For sticking with the artform they love and they believe in There's enough obstacles in life Without finding something that you like And stopping cos you doing it doesn't look right S'not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing S'what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing Charles Wright I'll keep doing this until I'm an old age Yorkshire hip-hop that evolved from those with the gold chains From New York Made by the less fortunate To West Yorks No-one knows where Yorkshire is From New York Still feel I was born for it To West Yorks No less of an awkward thing From New York Made by the less fortunate To West Yorks No-one cares where Yorkshire is From New York Still feel I was born for it To West Yorks No less of an awkward thing From New York To West Yorks From New York To West Yorks From New York Made by the less fortunate To West Yorks No-one cares where Yorkshire is From New York Still feel I was born for it To West Yorks No less of an awkward thing
