Get fucking real!
Hi-tech speakers!

Er, tell them who were are kid

We've shit for brains, got blinkered vision
We steal our lines from television
Steal some words, steal some tunes
Don't be shy, hit the hi-tech groove

We're little boys who tell tall stories
Spice our gossip with Jackanory
Tell no secrets, give no clues
It's all here for us to use

Take a beatbox
and add the garage racket
Go!

Box frenzy!

We got lines fly like an eagle
The rhythm it smokes more than a beagle
Floating butterflies, stinging bees
The beats is fresh, the rhymes is free

Hup, hup, hup,
two, three, four

You don't have to have integrity
You don't have to have ability, yeah
So listen, kiddies
Its true what they say
You don't need respectability

Drop in the groove, circulate
Stake your claim, it's not too late
We sleep all day and fly by night
Lead the pack, take what you like

Ah, go blam-blam, sing love songs
Making up the story as you go along
So let's party, let's ball
Argh! Fuck it all!

We take a shitload and ask for more
Roll around the carpet floor
We're no-good thieves, we're no buyers
It's the art of scrounging - base desire

The Brinks-Mat job was a second-rater
Poppie tricks are the number one caper
Jumping bail, skipping trial
We're ha-ha with half-hour smiles

Hup, hup, hup,
two, three, four

You don't have to have integrity
You don't have to have ability, yeah
So listen, kiddies
Its true what they say
You don't need respectability

Number 1, we don't mean robbin'
Say it again, we don’t mean robbin’
Number 2, we don't mean robbin' or stealing
And Rule 3, And Rule Number 3, don't mean stealing or mugging

Ah, ah, ah yeahe what yShake what you got
Ah, yeah

Ah, ah, ah yeah shake what you got
Yeah

We take, we beg, we steal, we borrow
Here today and gone tomorrow
Take the moment, grab those kicks
We're main pranksters, pardon our tricks

I don't study, don't need a degree
I got advanced criminology
Crime circles wave and ask us by
Sorry no speech, we really must fly

Hup, hup, hup,
two three four

You don't have to have integrity
You don't have to have ability, yeah
So listen kiddies
Its true what they say
You don't need respectability
(repeat x 3)

It's true!
