[Chorus: x2] Little Derek's Doing Okay (yeah) Little Derek's Doing Fine (fine) Little Derek's Doing Cool (cool) You know how we do
[Verse 1:] Stepped out my house i'm feelin fresh and brand new Olu did the trim rhianna done the hairdo And everything i wear's new, Maharishi jacket, Puma top, boxfresh jeans and Nike cambu Sprayed a little versace dreamer on me too so every girl who pass is like ooh wooh Police don't pull us over like woo woo cos their kids watch MTV and Channel U (U)
But life ain't always been fine like baby blue cuz when u do UK rap you're number two cuz the USA ain't givin us space to break true so i'm on the grind tryin to pioneer and break-through gotta keep the punters happy, to tango it takes two and it seems like i'm the rapper the people take to i've never had alot, with what i've got i've made do now i'm blowin up up in this bitch like move, move, move!
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2:] Step out the ride i'm feelin nice and quite fly I'm tryin to reach the top i see the top is quite high! Steady on my grind tryin to get my face up in the source so i keep my faith up in the forces in the bright, white sky gettin calls from these record label bosses like 'Hi'! and I've been inside their offices and listened to their promises but no-ones made me offers yet that I could not deny And i been makin profits of this my mix-tapes fly life ain't always been pretty like nah on the north side of the city where it's gritty like kai we did what we had to done to get by hopin not to get caught up in no silly drive by little derek wrote lyrics while the others got high and he ended up in HMV instead of HMP cos street life could only end one way your friend cryin on the scene like why, why, why?
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: Baby Blue] Knowin real fame that's what i used to dream about that everyone would know my name and they would scream it out knowin my song words and sing along to and i would walk down the street and hear blue, blue, blue. my video's rotatin so i got these execs debating about whether i'm taken and these RnB guys is thinking the same thing calling up my phone asking whether i'm dating. I turned my passion to career how could i lose out quit my 9-5 so i don't have to sell *shoes* now my CDs are moving that's the route that I'm choosing so i got to make it thru, thru, thru little Rachael used to look up to the sky too analyse the planets and wonder if i could shine too so now they ask how i'm doin i say little Rachael's doing okay
