Review:

I wasn't aware they made a video for this song. Definitely one of his best solo attempts. The song has a cool beat with some nice lyrics and it proves just why Dizzee was the God of the UK Grime scene. I forgot how talented the guy was in his early days. The rest of them are 5 years behind this guy. So basically, in terms of technological progression, He's China... N-Dubz are Kazakhstan. Despite the song being good, the version from his album is a lot better. Jeanine Jacques is annoying as it's obvious she's putting on a accent and showing how fake she is.

The song from 2:30 is called "Vexed" from the same album. "Vexed" was a bonus track from the American release, so if you haven't heard of the song, that's probably why. IMO, I think Vexed's beat is a little better, but both songs are pretty tight. This sort of tune is what Dizzee should still be doing, I mean the stuff he's done more recently has been good, but it's nothing compared to these classics. Anyways, despite Dizzee being amazing, his music videos are really sub par, as he really needs to have a creative director that matches him.

Fun Fact: "I Luv U" is actually the first song Dizzee wrote and produced, when as a 15 year old, his teacher noticed how into music he was and gave him permission to use the school computer labs to work.

[Dizzee Rascal:]
Yo If that girl know's where you stay thats poor
some whore banging on your door what for
pregnant? what're you talking about this for
fifteen, she's underage thats raw
and against law 5 years or more
and she wants a score and half of a draw
some kind of friend that you try and ignore
that whore got you pinned down to the floor
but its your own fault you said three magic words (i love you)
when thats the one for the birds
when you said that she forgot other boys
its over you better start buying the toys
there was no intention in front of your wife
that she knows this that she's ending your life
its a real shame you got hacked by the whores
its a real shame that kid probably aint yours

[CHORUS]

[Dizzee Rascal:]
That girl' some bitch ya know
she keep calling my phone
she dont leave me alone
she just moan and groan
she just keep ringin me at home
these days I dont answer my phone

[Girl:]

keeps following me here
keeps following me there
these days I cant go no where

[Dizzee Rascal:]

nah its not a love ting, get lost hoe
dizzy rascal come down like snow
with freezing cold flows like moscow
dumb hoe, get me upset, guns blow
bitch, you're not ready for skid row
leap low dizzy rascal dig low
big feet for the force with my big toe
I got no chaps, no chains not much doe
get juiced but you dont get love though
dont slap or you might get a ho-hoe
jambo coming through like rambo
love ting takes two like tango
but she aint my wifey she can go

[CHORUS]

[Dizzee Rascal:]
listen, I like your girl so you better look after your girl
or I might just take your girl and make your girl my girl
switch your girl with michelle
switch michelle with chantelle
play chantelle with shennele
lyrical clientelle but I aint a bow cat, I dont like the smell
im gonna go through a shell and make a boy feel unwell

that girl's from school, that girl's from college
that girl gives brains, that girl gives knowledge
that girl gives head, that girl gives shines
that girl gives bj's at all times
she looks decent, she looks fine
but dont talk about wifey she's not mine
she got batches, 6 in a line, believe me thats not a good sign

[CHORUS]

Vexed Lyrics:

[Dizzee Rascal]
Hey, listen, take nothing
I don't want to hear anymore talk, you get me, no more talk
Ive heard their talk, that Dizzee Rascal's so rude
People talking don't even know me
I do what I want, you get me (and ask no one for nothing)
I ain't everyone's friend
Ok, I don't wanna get vexed
That's why I'm just trying to keep my cool, you get me
I don't want to lose it, I can't believe I got people chattin' shit
I'll never watch what I say
I say what the fuck I want, I don't care who you are
I don't care who I offend or nothing
I won't be silenced!

I'm showing you my life's more deep than you think (uh huh)
At nights, I get a little less sleep than you think (really)
Something keeps me up, I can't even get a wink
And there's no point in trying, so I lay there and blink

I'm showing you, I feel more stressed than you see
But my business is my business and I keep it all to me
I've done a lot of work for you to see me where I be
But lately I sense you don't want to set me free

And lately, there's been controversy seen around my name (ok)
But fuck you cause I ain't playing your game (naw)
I ain't chewed my language, they ain't used to it (ok)
But I ain't, you can't get me so (get me) get used to it

Cause I was raised an only child, not a brother, not a sis
And raised around hate, not a hug, not a kiss (naw)
Before this I was just a failure in the mist
And I made it through the front, I cant let you take a piss, so...

[Chorus]
I don't wanna get vexed
And I don't wanna lose my cool
But I ain't gonna let that boy come around, try take me for no fool
I ain't gonna let that boy come around, I'm reaching for my tool
I ain't gonna let that boy get flash, I'll smash his head on the wall

So, I don't wanna get vexed
And I don't wanna lose my rag
But I aint gonna let that boy come around try to take me for no slag
I ain't gonna let that boy come around and run his gums you're mad
I'll probably have him thinking I'm fake, I'll make his family sad

[Dizzee Rascal]
I do the fuck what I want, that's how I got here
And I'll be damned if I let you fussies interfere
And if I had my way, you wouldn't even get near
I don't need your help, do I make myself clear?!?

I know it sounds rude, that's because it's meant to be (ok)
I plan to be the rudest boy in this industry (ok)
Ain't two-faced, and I ain't known to gloat (ok)
If I don't like you, then I'll tell you to your throat

I don't know what you want, I don't know what you expect
But if I don't know you, don't ask me for respect
I don't give it easily, I don't give it much
And I ain't got a heart, so don't ever try and touch

All these pigs runnin' ?round like I owe them (ok)
Before I got big, I didn't even know them (ok)
I'll be doing this for a whole lot a' years (ok)
And I'll be standing tall and straight when the smoke clears
So...

[Chorus]

[Dizzee Rascal]
Yo
I'm the type of boy that takes the bump with the grind (ok)
And I'm the type of boy to take your girl from behind (ok)
I'm the type of boy your girl wants me to be (she told me)
So don't act a prick, cause it don't suit me (ok)

You could boil me up and you can even shoot me (ok)
But if your girl's lettin' up, then it's my duty (ok)
I ain't trying to keep your wifey, truthfully (ok)
But it ain't my fault your girlfriend's a groupie

Be careful what you ask for, you could change your mind (ok)
And what you're looking for, you won't like what you find (ok)
If you're looking for the pussy, if you're looking for the chat
I'll remind you that curiosity killed the cat (ok)

Plus
Girls are telling lies, and they spreading like the plague (ok)
What else can I do except keep myself made (ok)
I don't know why these girls are trying to attack me, (ok)
But I'm a rude boy, I won't let nobody trap me, so...

[Chorus]
