Chiddy Bang formed when Anamege and Beresin met at Drexel University in 2008. After months of support from underground music blogs, the pair released their debut mixtape The Swelly Express via blog Pretty Much Amazing. The release was met with widespread acclaim and led to the group signing a recording contract with EMI in January 2010.
Their first commercial single on the label taken from their The Swelly Express mixtape, Opposite of Adults, samples the Brooklyn group MGMT's 'Kids' and was released on February 21, 2010 in the UK. It reached number 12 on the UK Singles Chart and later peaked at 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US. A second single from the mixtape titled Truth was released in the UK and peaked at number 50. Following this success, Chiddy Bang released a second mixtape exclusively within the UK featuring remixes and adaptations of popular British artists including tinie tempah, ellie goulding and kate nash.
In October 2010 the pair released Chiddy Bang: The Preview - an EP consisting of previous singles and new material - serving as a prelude to their debut album scheduled for release in Spring 2011.

Nothing on We
Chiddy Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look what we have here, hero
And everything ain't what it seems
And this is for the people that's chasing they dreams
Get your money hustlin' love
So could you get your money hustlin' love
But don't let them take it, rules we breakin'
Mama I made it, now they hate it
But you could trust they got nothing on we
They got nothing on we
And everybody needs a hero
Just another number, they rather you be a zero
But you could make it out, be patient with no surgery
Somebody call 9-1-1, it's an emergency
The kids need a hero, let us get bread
They follow everything, they seein' and embed in they head
Custodian clean, get Banks, bring Cody in
And I bet that you probably into that Nickelodeon
They gon' watch it on the T.V. screen
And when you sleep remember it and retrieve these dreams
We livin' the good life we don't need these fiends
And when we focus it's easier than the free throw seems
Cousins without clothes, tell them keep those jeans
Buzzin' they top rows, now we beat those teams
Victorious, and can we bring this to the chor-e-us
And sure he is, a boy meetin' world like Cory is
And everything ain't what it seems
And this is for the people that's chasing they dreams
Get your money hustlin' love
So could you get your money hustlin' love
But don't let them take it, rules we breakin'
Tryin' to get it cause we overachieve
Mama I made it, now they hate it
But you could trust they got nothing on we
They got nothing on we
And you could tell they got nothin' on we
And you could tell they got nothin' on we
You could tell they got nothin' on we
You could tell they got nothin' on we
And you tell could they got nothin' on we
And if you dream that you could grab it
When obstacles arrive you drive past it
I learned there's more to life when we had a smash hit
And the only thing guaranteed in life is a casket
That's why I live it up
They try to rob me of my dreams, they told me give it up
Uh, I said I refuse, this journey I pursue
And what I do to haters, I made them my own muse
Kinda funny, I'm amused
They say your mind is the most powerful thing to use
But I hope it's just powerful as the Pope is
Beamer, Benz, or Bentley, like Ford I got Focus
Yeah see you could do it if you follow it
Look into the stars, they shootin' with no hollow tips
And it isn't what it seems
So just like Yeezy, we steady gettin' out our dreams
That's good
And everything ain't what it seems
And this is for the people that's chasing they dreams
Get your money hustlin' love
So could you get your money hustlin' love
But don't let them take it, rules we breakin'
Tryin' to get it cause we overachieve
Mama I made it, now they hate it
But you could trust they got nothing on we
They got nothin' on we
And you could tell they got nothin' on we
And you could tell they got nothin' on we
You could tell they got nothin' on we
You could tell they got nothin' on we
And you tell could they got nothin' on we

We are like Cory from the show Boy Meets World, learning and growing up in the world
And you could tell they got nothin' on we
We are confident in ourselves and know our haters have nothing on us
And if you dream that you could grab it
Believe in your dreams and strive to achieve them
When obstacles arrive you drive past it
Overcome obstacles on your journey with hard work and perseverance
I learned there's more to life when we had a smash hit
We realized that there is more to life than just success in the music industry
And the only thing guaranteed in life is a casket
Death is the only certainty in life
That's why I live it up
Enjoy life to the fullest because tomorrow is not guaranteed
They try to rob me of my dreams, they told me give it up
People have tried to discourage us from pursuing our dreams but we refuse to give up
Uh, I said I refuse, this journey I pursue
We refuse to give up and continue to pursue our goals
And what I do to haters, I made them my own muse
We use our haters as motivation to keep working hard and achieving our goals
Kinda funny, I'm amused
We find it humorous how our haters are now paying attention to us
They say your mind is the most powerful thing to use
Your mind is the strongest tool you have
But I hope it's just powerful as the Pope is
We hope our minds are as strong as the Pope's
Beamer, Benz, or Bentley, like Ford I got Focus
We may not have fancy cars, but we stay focused on our goals like a Ford Focus
Yeah see you could do it if you follow it
You can achieve your goals if you have a plan and follow it
Look into the stars, they shootin' with no hollow tips
Believe in yourself and your dreams, the stars are there to guide you
And it isn't what it seems
Things aren't always what they appear to be
So just like Yeezy, we steady gettin' out our dreams
Like Kanye West, we are steadily achieving our dreams
That's good
That's great
