What do you call it, urban? What do you call it, urban? Urban? What do you call it, two-step? What do you call it, two-step? Two-step? Tell us what you call it then [Verse 1] Garage? I don't care about garage Listen to this - it don't sound like garage Who told you that I make garage? Wiley Kat'z got his own sound - it's not garage Make it in the studio and not in the garage Here in London there's a sound called garage but This is my sound, it sure ain't garage I heard they don't like me in garage 'Cause I use their scene but make my own sound The Eskimo sound is mine, recognise it's mine You can't claim what's mine It's my time to bait you up I don't hate you but some of you have got a problem I'm putting you out of business, why is that a problem? What's your problem? What the heck my name is problem, remember? [Chorus] What do you call it, garage? (What do you call it?) What do you call it, garage? What do you call it, urban? What do you call it, urban? What do you call it, two-step? What do you call it, two-step? What do you call it? Tell us what you call it then [Verse 2] Why do you think that I'm stupid? I got brains I could never be stupid You can never use my name to make your raves jam I won’t turn up, I'll stay at home with my girl and jam You can't threaten me with no bad man talk, I’m not scared sorry man But I've seen so much now, I don't give a monkey's Swing from tree to tree just like monkeys Who influenced me to be funky Who influenced me to make Eski Beat I make Eski Girls and Eski Boys Move their feet to the sound you can hear I hear you try to stop my record sales, record deals But the belt can't hold the waist in (the waist in) If it gets too big and it's tremblin', then POP! It blows up and we win (I'm winning) Ready to say my goodbyes Goodbye to the man who don't like me Goodbye to the woman who don't like me Goodbye to the fingers pointing at me Goodbye to the promoters that hate me Goodbye to the people that's hassling me 'cause I'm turning over a new leaf Get sharp like a knife in the sheath Stay sharp like a knife cutting beef Cut the strings, there's no grief If you don't cut the strings there's more grief See I get the impression I'm not wanted So I'm leaving your scene that's what we wanted That's what I wanted, I'm on my way now Wish me luck, I'm doing my thing now To the fans let's go, everyone who likes this let's go [Bridge] Everyone who likes that go that way Go that way, go that way, go that way Go that way, go that way, go that way Everyone who likes this come this way (come this way) let's go this way Let's go this way, let's go this way Let's go this way, Let's go this way [Verse 3] I'm carrying weight, I break everyone down Take everybody down Any crew any sound Any MC who's in my way I break down I can show you now - it's all changed round I remember - things were the other way round When the world got colder and it changed round I go to every manor and its all changed round I want everybody to follow this sound so Don't deny the power of my empire When I'm hit I strike back with my empire No more crew, so what? We got an empire Roll Deep empire high power, high power yo I'm a compulsory buyer Go to the shops and I spend them, buy what I want and This is Roll deep empire If you work hard then you can be a buyer Like me
