No Regrets
Dappy Lyrics

This is my King's Speech, I'm nowhere near the end
I'm not done yet, this is just the beginning of my story

If I s-s-s-stutter, sorry I ain't heaven's sent
If I stutter or make mistakes, it's because I'm human and not perfect

I messed my life up and yeah I've been down
I made mistakes and hit rock bottom

I'm a changed man now, Chris Brown
I've grown and matured as a person, just like Chris Brown has

You know I feel your pain 'cause I've done and been through it
I can relate to your struggles and challenges because I've experienced them too

I'm Kurt Cobain but I just couldn't do it
I understand the pain and turmoil that Kurt Cobain went through, but I didn't follow in his footsteps

No point in turning back just to hit rewind
There's no use dwelling on the past and wishing to go back in time

Back to the future, Ma Marty McFly
I'm focused on moving forward and creating a better future for myself

Deep inside, there's a fire
I have a burning passion and drive inside me

'Cause I'm no longer looking at a reflection I admire
I'm not proud of who I used to be and have worked hard to become a better person

I paint the picture of a fighter, but their's someone's looking back at me and says I'm a liar
I appear strong and confident, but a part of me still doubts myself and thinks I'm lying to myself and others

If I should die before I wake, the least that I could ever say
If I were to die tomorrow, at least I could say

I made mistakes but held on to my faith
I may have made mistakes, but I stayed true to my beliefs and values

This is my last chance, I'm on my final straw
I know this is my last opportunity to make things right and I'm determined not to mess it up

I came from nothing, some kid in Camden
I grew up poor in Camden with nothing to my name

Now I'm flying in the birds, Richard Branson
Now I'm successful and flying high, just like Richard Branson

I'm a prince, yes I will get the crown (Shh)
I'm destined for greatness and will achieve my goals, just watch me

Kate stays in my dungeon when her sister's around
This line is likely a joke, implying that Kate Middleton (the Duchess of Cambridge) stays at his house when her sister (Pippa Middleton) is visiting

So please forgive if I make mistakes
I'm not perfect and may make mistakes, but I'm trying my best

But I'll blow the bloody doors off, Michael Cain
A reference to the line from the 1969 film 'The Italian Job', where the character played by Michael Caine says he's going to blow the doors off a van. It's likely that Dappy is using the line here as a way of saying he's going to succeed and overcome any obstacles in his way.

I'm free to be whatever I, 'cause I'm famous
I can do what I want because of my fame and success

Call me Gallagher 'cause I'm so shameless
Dappy is comparing himself to the notoriously shameless musician Liam Gallagher of the band Oasis

The papers, saw the pages that are the cost of my failures
The media has capitalized on and exploited Dappy's past mistakes and failures

Victimized by the public, don't know if I could take it
Dappy feels like he's been mistreated and unfairly judged by the public

So when you feel like there's no more and nothing left but the life you've broken
When you feel like you've hit rock bottom and your life is in shambles

No regrets, no turning back
There's no point in regretting what's already happened, all you can do is move forward

Pick up yourself and tell them I'm just being me
Don't let anyone tell you who you should be or how you should live your life, just be yourself

'Cause you ain't even seen the best of me
You haven't seen what I'm truly capable of yet
