Lyrics
- Verse 1 -
Original gangsta Mike, ye that’s right, OG Mike
Listen up to tha realist G you may ever hear in your life
Original Coz I’m different, fresh, unique from the rest
Because I bring South Coast UK shit, some of the best
You never, ever felt a flow like ours
South Coast UK bred, everyone of my bars
An OG coz I got my grades, I aint afraid, that I’d admit to
I hustle how I want, others can’t, coz they aint got a clue
My hustle is clever, didn’t have to bother with crack
A clever muthafucka knows there are better ways to grow that stack
Original coz not a lot of gangstas got their grades
Shit I put the work in, and muthafucka it pays
I produce and mc and believe it or not I’m white
I just try keeping it real, I’m far from that gangsta stereotype
Industry thinks it wants that image, and that aint me
Then again, peeps don’t listen to your lyrics, all they hear is the beat
- Chorus -
Original Gangsta Mike… OG Mike
Reppin tha UK, down for my hood for life
Stand up for yourself, Stand up for your hood
That’s what gangstas do, that’s what an OG would
Original Gangsta Mike… Ye that’s right
It’s time for us to stand up, to clean out all the shite
And I know you all hear me, I hope your all with me
to make the world see, it’s time for the fakes to flee
- Verse 2 -
5 on 1, and you aint got a gun
Think for a minute, only option is to run
But damn that makes you a pussy, you aint gangsta
Hell na, fuck that, think first, run, you had ta
Don’t be the stereotype, don’t start, think it through
Coz you aint got no clue, about what your gunna get into
Just keep it real, no need to ever touch steel
Unless there’s a real reason, to spray that, to kill
Not first intention, but last resort
At end of the day, we all gunna get caught
Whether it be po-po, or that someone’s clicc
Coz when it’s your own, BANG, no one gives a shit
This OG thinks before making any move
You didn’t now your in hospital, fed through a tube
Sat in the hospital bed, OG Mike’s right, it’s true
Next time before I do, I’mma think it through
- Chorus -
Original Gangsta Mike… OG Mike
Reppin tha UK, down for my hood for life
Stand up for yourself, Stand up for your hood
That’s what gangstas do, that’s what an OG would
Original Gangsta Mike… Ye that’s right
It’s time for us to stand up, clean out all the shite
And I know you all hear me, I hope your all with me
to make the world see, it’s time for the fakes to flee
- Verse 3 -
I think, before, I make, my move
Consider my options, only act if I have to
I stand up for myself, my clicc, what I believe in
I rep my hood Bas For life, coz That’s where I be living
Basildon brought me up, made me who I am
I Stand up for Bas, I do anything I can
Basildon makes OG’s, breads the realist ever
We hustle how we want, coz Bas making gangstas clever
But I aint just talking bas, I’m talking South Coast UK
We got the realist to say, all OG’s at the end of tha day
Don’t be fucking stupid, don’t be what you see on TV
Don’t be the stereotype of what a gangsta’s commercialised to be
If you listened carefully, you’ll now know what I’m about
I hope you liked my introduction, now I’m finished, I’m out
So it’s OG Mike, Remember the name
One of the realist that ever came to this game
- Chorus -
Original Gangsta Mike… OG Mike
Reppin tha UK, down for my hood for life
Stand up for yourself, Stand up for your hood
That’s what gangstas do, that’s what an OG would
Original Gangsta Mike… Ye that’s right
It’s time for us to stand up, clean out all the shite
And I know you all hear me, I hope your all with me
to make the world see, it’s time for the fakes to flee
