Temptation Lyrics - Maths & English - Dizzee Rascal

Gotta keep my head above water 

Gotta stay head-strong, keep rolling on 

No point getting caught in the hype is long 

Like I don't know right from wrong 

So I gotta be real, nothing to prove 

I'm still big in the hood, I feel so in control 

I'm chill, no one ain't knocking off dill 

So I stay top on the bill 

I'm the main event, the headliner 

Went from jungle DJ to rhymer 

Never thought I would be the big timer 

But I still par it like, yo, it's a minor 

'Cause I still rep my ends, still check my friends 

Can I keep it up? I guess, it all depends 

If I can keep my mind right, don't get tempted 

By the limelight, I think I'll be alright

Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 

The one that used to get you in bother 

The one you can never bring yourself to hate 

Can't avoid the temptation 

But I know, I gotta change my ways 

And keep my nose clean, gotta fix up 

Take a look at my life 'cause I ain't sixteen 

And I ain't no boy, ain't no kid 

The world ain't flat and the picture's big 

Certain things that I gotta get rid 

And a whole lot more that I gotta get with 

So I gotta stay and roam on my own 

Gotta move on, I can't stay at home 

'Cause I know what's there is all the same 

Crack, cocaine and ghetto fame 

Photos 

Cold hard cash and a bit of a name 

And I've see it all, so I need a change 

Lost too many brethrens to the game 

And you could say temptation's to blame 

Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 

The one that used to get you in bother 

The one you can never bring yourself to hate 

Temptation leads you like your naughty friends 

We used to be tight, me and my naughty friends 

Caused pure madness in the ends, I mean day and night 

We robbed, we stole, we loved to fight 

Smoking, drinking, joyriding, drugs, thugs, not law-abiding 

Reckless youngsters, no direction, no sign of correction 

But then I switched it up, changed my ways 

Got in the area like, "Oh my days" 

But not my naughty friends, they're not fazed 

Can't believe that this music pays 

See no reason why we can't do 

All the things that we've always done 

Still in my heart I know that's just wrong 

But it's hard to fight the temptation, son 

Temptation leads you like your naughty mate 

The one that used to get you in bother 

The one you can never bring yourself to hate 

Temptation leads you like your naughty friends
