First Time I saw a Streets clip was in 2004 with 'Fit but u know it'. I didnt know the first album at the période and I bought Material in 2013 only. I knew Roots Manuva late 2001 but didnt know The Streets in 2002.
Back in 2003 me and my bruv got lucky and bought a gaff, Original Pirate Material got played on a nightly basis with the boys, a table full of Henry's playing Xbox...i loved every fuckin minute. Mr Skinner you are a genius pal👍

My friend tuned me into Eminem, then Drake. 'He sings, he raps, and does beata, too.' ok, ok, I said, listened to my homework. One day I found the streets, and said, ah-Hah! Here's one for you, he had to do a full listen through, rewound the album, came back to me and said, alright, we even. R.I.P. Joel, you with me, overhead.
When I saw my ex chatting to this guy in the club I slapped her ass and walked on .. he wasn’t to happy though 😂😂 I win the battle by walking away and her noticing it was me.
I remember hearing this album in 2002. Completely different and fresh
First Time I saw a Streets clip was in 2004 with 'Fit but u know it'.
I didnt know the first album at the période and I bought Material in 2013 only.
I knew Roots Manuva late 2001 but didnt know The Streets in 2002.
is that what year it was my life changed when them strings dropped
Was a tune then... still a tune now.... long live the TUNE!
Still!
"move up to the next place
Smooth club
Flex bass
Beats
And your best mates
All down
Nice sounds
Smirnoff ice rounds"
Amazing 👍
Wow what a classic this was/is say no more whoop, whoop, whoop pleaseee…. 🎉🎉🎉
One of the best beat switches ever
Back in 2003 me and my bruv got lucky and bought a gaff, Original Pirate Material got played on a nightly basis with the boys, a table full of Henry's playing Xbox...i loved every fuckin minute. Mr Skinner you are a genius pal👍
The memories! 😁😁
more relevant now than ever.
“Beamer three series, lock stock and 2 fat fucks backin’ him up”
Genius.
Best line of this track 👌
I think, that we wasn't ready for them back then. I'm SURE, if they released there tracks now and albums they'd smash it.
This one is a good one too. The Streets 🎶👏
Mate, Mike Skinner making tunes again? Fucking come on bruvaa what a year and it's only just begun.
Pure fire 🔥 🙌🏻🙌🏿
TOP lyricist
Lyrics
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Out the club about three to the takeaway
The shit in a tray merchants
Shop's got a special perchant for the disorderly
Geezers looking ordinary and a few looking lairy
Chips fly round to the sound of the latest chart entry
An incendiary waiting to blast
No harm with a contest, who can throw the furthest
Behind the counter they look nervous
But carry on cutting the finest cuts of chicken from the big spinning stick
Then over flies a chip, flips, and hits you on the back
You spin round on the attack, "Fuck you playing at?"
He looks like a Cheshire Cat, almost falls down, your frowns
And Superman eye lasers don't even register
By now you want to leather this twat
And forever you're going to regret that, your choice of path
So mash his head up and your girl's now fed up
But stop to think and it's never going to be
The Jackie Chan scene it could have been to end up
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
So you owe someone money subbing skunny
"Best pay me"
"Billy, No worries, one fifty on Sunday"
But in some way that turns into Wednesday
Then goes straight to pay on a hazy evening in the local bar café
What a way
What a way
Just to recap for those at the back this is everyday tit for tat
You owe your dealer and can't pay it back fee suddenly he's the baddie
So you tell your mates you could have him anyway to look geez
But he's a shady fuck, Beemer 3 Series
Lock, stock and two fat fucks backing him up
Can't convey enough of his desire for the paper stuff
In a blunt fashion Billy's angry with a passion
So please just accept it ain't happening and go back to your running's
'Cause you might get yourself in trouble one of these days
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Get a hold of this bird after pub closin' hours
Would your girl like this no, don't think so somehow
In the winter showers but she'll never know and your face will never show shit
This is how goes it besides, she was well fit, and who could resist
Move up to the next place
Smooth clubs, flex, bass, beats, and your best mates
All down, nice sounds, Smirnoff Ice rounds
MC's clowning, rude boys frowning, everything's sweet
Everything's tucked in and round here we're all downing
But all of a sudden though just through the smoke
Is your bird laughin' and jokin' with a bloke
Ain't just that either as she moves closer
In a shape what looks like they're lovers
He's tonguing her
All rage sweeps up through your torso
Your more so ready to go over and show him who's man
Football fan style, leave it in the can for a while
'Cause even as they smile you've still got choices
Don't listen to them voices
And at the end of the day you may just have caused this
So leave the forces
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Geezers need excitement
If their lives don't provide them this, they incite violence
Common sense, simple common sense
Need a proper music video asap
THIS!
Nice
the initial beat drop would send you off, mmmmmm lavly

I'd like to take this opportunity to say 'Hi' to my mom, and a big shout out to my mates in Brisbane, Australia!!
Medal?

I'm jealous of your life now. I wanted to be the first commentor so bad.
I had to drink 7 cups of coffee and stay awake for 3 days for this success. #lifehack for #1stcomments
But it was worth it.
