The garage scene well
It's really fucked up
Certain guys can't,
Won't keep their mouths shut

All they do is talk about we
Something about
We're novelty cheesy
Smelling your top lip

Stop the jealousy
What, 'cause
We didn't start from 1983
Oh, I was in my nappy

Did I mention we're only 18?
Carnival '99 DJs
Put up a list telling
Other DJs not to play this

But when I asked
A certain DJ why
He gave me a
shit of a reply

Later a bitch said to me
We'll never make it
With Casualty
Ha ha ha, he he he

Now the silly bitch
Wants to try and hire we

Didn't want to back we
Now they beg friend
Up middle finger
I show them

Back in the day,
They didn't want to know
They want to dis
Bound 4 da reload

They want to talk to Neutrino,
No no no
They want to dis so solid so,
No no no

Didn't want to back we
Now they beg friend
Up middle finger

Back in the day,
They didn't want to know
They want to dis
Bound 4 da reload

They want to talk to Oxide
No, no no no
They want to dis so solid so,
No no no

Certain guys can't
Face the fact of
What we've done
Sold over a quarter

Of a million Casualty went
Straight into No 1
And they still want to cuss come on
Oh yeah about the Casualty theme

Well no one controls the scene
So you do what you want
And you do what like
And you do what you please

Yeah, guys want to
Cuss our tunes,
Say it's shit
Think other people don't like it

But boy we don't care
And we got something for you
This is DJ Oxide playing in
Front of about a

Hundred thousand people
Listen to this

When I say you say
We say they say
Make some noise
When I say you say

We say they say
Make some noise
When I say you say
We say they say

Make some noise
When I say you say
We say they say
