Where were you in '92?
Where were you in '92?
Where were you in '92?
This is how we do in the XR2
The boyz look fine, stereos alpine
20/20, thunderbird at 12-0-9
Took a pill, good time all the time
This is how we do in the XR2
The boyz look fine, stereos alpine
20/20, thunderbird at 12-0-9
Took a pill, good time all the time
Brick lane massive
We were like grime
Labyrinth, world dance
Bagley's time
High-top fades
We ain't never paid
Roll up jeans, E's, Lucozade
Versace jeans, shades and chains
We bol in there like we late
DJ, MC's, private raves
Keep it secret, light it, mate
Whistle, whistle, blow, blow
Here we, here we go, go
Whistle, whistle, blow, blow
Here we, here we go, go
Some of them drink Heineken
And some of them drink Bacardi
Some of them talk a lot of shit
And act rowdy
Some say people follow me
Some say people is the key
When the music's got a beat
Then that's what gets me
Some say...
Some say...
When the music's got a beat
Then that's what gets me
Some people think we are stupid
But we are not
XR2, 808
MP3, MC8
XOX the MC5
MTV has ADD
NBC and BET
BBC is OAP
REM, KLF
IQ up the ICQ
CB4, CPT
BBD and ATL
PDD had BIG
NYC had R'n'B
OPP, YRB
TLC, SWV
JO DC
XXX
I heart you
XR2
Whistle, whistle, blow, blow
Here we, here we go, go
Whistle, whistle, blow, blow
Here we, here we go, go
Whistle, whistle, blow, blow
Here we, here we go, go go, go, go, go, go
