Proud Lyrics - Singles - Dan Bull

So it's nearly time for me to go 

but I want to thank you for being here 

It's been a pleasure 

I mean that truly 

and now I'm going to do a convoluted tune 

A composition that I'm particularly proud of 

Never been a fellow to be down with the Gs 

hardly ever collect felonies out on the street 

My criminal record took minimal effort 

to scribble and get all it down on a sheet 

Me, I can do without the police 

See, I'm a dude renowned to be tedious 

No pissing about, I'm serious 

I really just sit around on a seat 

Read a book, put it down, have a wee 

'til I feel I've had enough then I slouch in my PJs 

These days when I'm counting my sheep 

it takes me ages drowsing to sleep 

Feel I'm thousands of feet out of my league 

like a floundering dinghy down in the deep 

People shouting at me I'm not allowed on a beat 

but there's four times more that'll tell me I'm sweet 

I found my release when I bought me a mic 

and recorded a tight lyric down on a beat 

with the sound so loud that the speakers 

melt with the heat cos I'm Dan to the B

One, two, I'm counting to three 

then I want you, to bounce to the beat 

From the North to the West to the South to the East 

we can all get well rowdy 

I oughtn't lie, I mean demographically 

there's a hypothesis I support: 

that I am the more priviliged in all of society 

quite unlike the baller I try and be 

I was born in a nice region 

and brought up politely 

so I was taught to mind my Ps and Qs 

and make way for OAPs in queues 

I'm a decent dude, peaceful too 

but on a beat I speak with lethal truth 

This sequel to my debut album's 

a way to tell them the good news: 

That I'm a middle class kid from the Midlands 

less "safe" more like "how you diddling?" 

I'm like a Polo without the middle in 

more whole than the hole to fill it in 

though I'm a bitter kid, just a little bit 

bringing mint lyrics but no-one's listening 

but I'm in the zone and I'm coveting the throne 

so I'm not gonna give it in, gloves coming off and I'm boxing until I win 

Watch when I'm in the ring 

roundhouse my doubts, bopping them in the chin 

Plot thickening along with the smoke 

but I'm not gonna choke - I've got ventolin 

Like when I kicked my bong and it broke 

it allowed me the freedom to breathe the air again 

and now that I'm clean and the songs that I wrote then 

are out and they're seen I am proud to be me 

You could tell when I'd been chilling out with some weed 

I couldn't leave the house, you could smell the Febreze 

Now when I'm out on an evening in town I'm a demon 

downing indecent amounts of Ribena 

'til I'm down on my knees and in pieces 

weeping shouting "help me, please" 

but when I'm having doubts about my belief 

I just tell myself that I'm proud to be me
