This is the unofficial anthem of Cost Cutters, M'hood. Brap innit!
BlackOut ProduKtionZ (or B. Prodz on the streetz) is a collection of Artistes, Producers and professional Gangstas hailing from Berkshire, UK. The members of B.
Nomad was watching MTV Base an artist keep on, who shall remain nameless, and Nomad thought to himself.
"This is [colourful language] awful!!! I'm sure I could do better than this!"
After turning of the television in disgusted disbelief and what he'd just seen, he continued his rant to fellow group member, Pester. The decision was taken half-jokingly that we would start making music. Our first song 'Chill Out Skank' enjoyed moderate success in the Berkshire underground scene.
As a result fans requested that we make a mixtape and the whole thing snowballed, before Blackout ProdUKtionz had attracted a massive following of die hard fans in Berkshire, Hampshire and East Anglia.
Story behind the song
Amit Patel aka Crepz, Store Manager and Hypeman for B. Prodz asked for a song to made for his shop. Using facebook status from an often disgruntled Crepz and authentic in store deals this song was produced.
Lyrics
Verse 1
When the weather is hot
And you need a soda pop
Just come in the shop
And see what he's got
Oasis, fanta, Amit's got the lot
Customer- "Asian Discount?"
Amit- "Er..I think not"
Say that again and you'll get a pop
In your face
Now just come out the place
You best come out the place, or you get run out the place
If you get run out the place, then you're gona meet my mace can
I swear I'm getting tired of all these wasteman
So much stress... Oh my days man!
Amit- "Gotta get up early, gotta work the weekends, and when i get here people asking me if i'm tamil"
Chorus
Cost cutter skank, it's the cost cutter skank
I wanna see you doin' the cost cutter skank
Put up both your cost cutter hands
Then start driving the cost cutter van
Cost cutter skank, it's the cost cutter skank
Put your cash in our cost cutter hands
Now watch us get in our cost cutter vans
Yeah man, that's right, it's the cost cutter dance
Verse 2
If you're lookin' for bargins
Yeah just march in
Pringles, Niknaks and Mars Bars in
Ain't got no cash just put your card in
Now check the amount I'm chargin'
Customer- "1.99 Pringles!? I'm not paying!"
Amit- "Hold up bruv, what you sayin'!?"
This is a business, we 'bout money-makin'
So please just stop with your hateful hatin'
Hurry up now you best be payin'
Or Amit'll get mad, you'll enrage him
He'll jump the counter, bash your face in
Enter your pin, stop time wastin'
Amit- "If those kids mess with that magazine display one more time
I swear down
I'm gona buy a baseball bat
Bash their faces in!"
Chorus
Verse 3
One, two, one, Bridge Road
Girlie mag? We got a load
Nuts, Zoo and Loaded too
Make your third eye cry, like boo-hoo
Customer- "What!?"
Amit- "You know, sticky tears!"
Customer- "Oh my god, son cover your ears"
Condoms too, all shapes and sizes
Pick up a paper when you buy it
Put it on top so you can hide it
Now you can wrap up, before you ride it
If they're ribbed your girl will like it
Johnnies from Cost Cutters, three packs, nine quid
Amit- "Who's that geezer, what's he doing? Taking photos of the front pages of papers? What a weirdo!?"
Chorus
Verse 4
Where can you get that 3-foot bubble gum
Prices that compete with everyone
Post letters everyday- except for Sun
Best shop Bridge Road- ask anyone
Amit- "Also there's a promotion every three weeks, Manager's
special!"
Customer- "Ah that's sweet!"
Amit's manager, no red meat
Loves fried wings, all you can eat
If you're on facebook- he'll poke you
If you're Mary Jane- he'll smoke you
If you're a girl- he'll grope you
Having a shower- he'll soap you
Amit- "Ah, finally man, work is done, i'm just gona count this cash
Smoke this..turkey
And then i'm gone!"
