lyrics

VERSE 1

Call me jimmy the midget big name in the neighbourhood
A problem jimmy’ a fix it sick game and I play for good
I like to slow it a little bit down so you can catch up
Smooth rap stuff, I’ve proven that bruv
My parents were the type who didn’t have much
Now they look at me like “you bring bad luck”
Dad got hit by a moving Mack truck
Mums struck by lightening ooh and that’s rough
My grans live and she likes doing mad stuff
Eighty-five, she died shooting smack up
The day after she met me, it’s hard to forget me
A midget I don’t let laughter affect me

CHORUS

All thru my life
I never had much
But curiosity
I think you should
Just listen to me
Nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing
And I’m not wealthy
Believe you me!

VERSE 2

The school minger Barbara trapped me in Arthur’s hall
Grabbed me by the wrists told me I’d just pulled
Now the only downside is that Barbara’s bald
Yet still gave head lice to half the school
To kiss me she had to put me on a barbers stool
She forced me to kiss her don’t laugh its cruel
My fathers a midget so its fathers fault
When I was 10 my brother Paul was 3 and I was small
He walked round the room me? I just crawled
I used to lay awake wising I was smart as Paul
Mum and dad sent Paul to a marvellous school
And left me to sell carpets on the market stall

CHORUS

All thru my life
I never had much
But curiosity
I think you should
Just listen to me
Nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing
And I’m not wealthy
Believe you me!

VERSE 3

So I’m at the bar right? Like a barfly
So drunk I can’t light my cigar right
Looked up there’s a dame at the bar right
By the jukebox playing “aint it a hard life?”
Walked up gave a name and I laughed right
Said I’m in entertainment and ah write
Songs when I’m not playing the guitar like
I’m not bragging nah I’m just saying I’m a star right?
Came in from the rain on a dark night
Looking like she’s in pain and my heart cried
Then she started complaining her pa died
I said a guess a quick fumble aint in the cards right?

CHORUS

All thru my life
I never had much
But curiosity
I think you should
Just listen to me
Nothing from nothing
Leaves nothing
And I’m not wealthy
Believe you me!

"the offering of a rose basket I bear the widows cried

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
