Stereo MC's – Deep Down & Dirty lyrics

I always knew that I'd not be the one
That had been left alone to weep
'Cause this day I find my friend is inside
My own mind and soul to keep
And this spirit is letting go
And letting the people know
That this ain't the time
And this ain't the place to test me
This ain't the face to judge nor stress me
This is the place, this is the time
My enterprise and this my rhyme

C'mon, 'cos I walk, walk, walk, what I talk
Walk, walk, walk, what I talk

But deep down and dirty, yeah
Deep down and dirty
(Sweat)
Deep down and dirty
(Deep, deep, deep down)
Deep down and dirty
Deep down and dirty

Reaction in all this
Synchronize

Seeming like you don't know who you was
Before you came on board this crazy ship
You left your clip, you found your skip
You made a move, you made the move to blew it
You never found your crew
And now you're lost upon a sea
Of dangerous sharks and shoals of fish
You make your own wish and your bed so lie in it

You made your own wish come true
By the thoughts you thought
The things you did, the things you said to me
And all the others, the ones before
The ones who came, the ones that left
But now you're feeling sorry, sad and left alone
You best believe the microphone alone
I'm here to stay, make you pay and understand

That there ain't no other day but today
Now I'm livin' it up, now I'm livin' it up
There ain't nothing bringing me down so don't even try
I'll size you up, I'll size you down
Besides you round this crazy uptight town
This burning with love and hate
And things you can't understand
There's too small a grate

I can't wait for this time to come
I can't wait for this time to come
I can't wait for this time to come
Living it true the life now
Living it true the life, yeah
Living it true the life now
I must be true to life
I must be true to life

Deep down and dirty
I've slaved enough, I have
Deep down and dirty
But I'm not grovelin' on that hot coals
Deep down and dirty
Slavin' to this rhythm here
I get deep down and dirty
Ain't nothing going on but this sound, man

No one lives and no one dies
No one lives and no one dies
C'mon c'mon c'mon now
No one lives, no one dies
C'mon, tell us

Deep down and dirty
Uh, uh
Deep down and dirty
C'mon
Deep down and dirty

Deep, deep, deep down
Deep, deep, deep down
Deep, deep, deep down
Deep, deep, deep down
Deep, deep, deep down
