The group Big Brovaz originally comprised of three girls, Cherise, Dion, Nadia and three boys, J-Rock, Flawless and Randy, plus two producers Skillz a.k.a JJC, who also manages his group 419 squad, and Fingaz. The group have been compared to the likes of The Fugees and OutKast.
The group were brought together by Fingaz, one of the collective's producers, who already worked under the title "Big Brovaz". The "Big Brovaz" team asked the individual members to showcase their talent alongside underground London R&B and hop hop artists on a compilation that was being put together, entitled "Big Brovaz - Watching You". On the album, rather than giving each member an individual track, the producers decided to make the artists work together and perform on the same track. The chemistry between all of the members developed and so, the Big Brovaz compilation album in fact became the group.
The "Big Brovaz - Watching You" compilation was a heavily successful underground release and sold over two thousand copies on the underground alone. The live shows to promote the release built up the reputation of the producers and artists on the record.
A track from the album which featured West London R&B singer Cherise was picked up by the organiser of the annual MOBO award organisers and she was asked to compete in the annual Mobo Unsigned talent competition, walking away with first prize. Cherise was signed and later release her own solo album. Following this, the group were picked up by Sony records and the rest is history.
Don't Watch That
Big Brovaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Displaying amazing things
Drop top whips
Ice chains and rings
The flows I flip straight
Blow your brains
I get with chicks
I don't give a fuck
I ain't got no shame
I got my cash up
So I'm not the same
I'm more thugged out
But I'm not to blame
I need this one
To protect my frame
Niggers that get bread
Gotta have toasters
Or have a thug friend
Whatchin' over their shoulders
Everywhere I go, man
I roll with my soldiers
Big-Bro fool
We takin' over
Don't watch were we hang
don't watch were we bang
Don't watch were we
slang them things
Got that whip with amazing rims just for ladies not gentle men
Hear my song don't get me wrong you can admire but don't
look too long
My thing must look extra
cris 'cause all eyes on me when
I'm on the strip
Looking at me like I ain't shit
Looking at my car like
it ain't my whip
But I'm fucking your
chicks like it ain't my dick
So when they're asking for their
baby daddy I ain't it - shit
So what if I twist a chick
one time then make a switch
Don't watch that
So what if I get my doe on
the road slanging bo
Don't watch that
So what if I go on the rowdy only bitches and thugs around me
Don't watch that
So what if I mac this way rap
this way and I'm from the UK
Here we come again
things are not the same
We now run the game
Don't watch our flow, our
dough and how it grows
and grows and grows
You know you can't complain
we are not to blame
Snatching all the fame
We got the rhymes the
beats to thrill
You know the deal
You don't want no trouble
You just want a bubble
Up in the club
Getta Drink, getta a double
Pull up a girl make sure
she don't snob you
You can get that if you
don't crumble
Now you feeling good
True your brocking out and that
And the base don't
fuck about and that
When you bounce you'll
be leaving out with that
Up in the draws you'll
be skinnin out the cat
If that ass ain't fat don't watch that
Titties ain't all that
don't watch that
Matter of fact, you should
be happy with that
'cause if it wasn't for her, then you wouldn't have tapped trick
So what if my chain iced out
bling in the club when
the lights out
Don't watch that
So what if I scoop a chick
regardless of who she with
Don't watch that
So what if my car on dubs
drop top when I pull up
at the club
Don't watch that
So what if I hang with the
G's and only thug niggas
ride with me
Here we come again
things are not the same
We now run the game
Don't watch our flow, our
dough and how it grows
and grows and grows
You know you can't complain

Snatching all the fame

Every rhyme I bust I must
Come with the shit

Gun on my hip
But here to spit lyrics
Strictly for the Bitches

And now we're getting riches
And I love figures
Spitting them lyrical, syllables
Thug individuals
The persona is criminal
All I need is a minute to
come up with a miracle
Big Brovaz ain't typical ripping you, stageshows are unmissable
Hitting you, with some shit

Bars of rap that'll get at

Don't watch that
So what if I get my doe on
