Dirtee Cash
Dizzee Rascal Lyrics

Money talks, listen, mmm-hmm-hmm, money talks
Money can have a powerful impact on people and their behavior. People listen to money, and it has become a form of communication.

Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
The desire and need for money is strong, even if it means obtaining it through unlawful or unethical means. Dirty money can be tempting and addictive.

Let's Go
The song is about to begin, and the listeners are invited to join in.

Everybody wants to be famous
In today's society, fame is highly valued and sought after by many people. It can bring wealth, power, and social status.

Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless
People want to be recognized and remembered for their achievements and contributions. They want to have a sense of purpose and direction in life.

People act shameless
Due to the pressure to succeed and the desire for fame and fortune, some people will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, even if it means losing their morals and values.

Tryna live like entertainers
People aspire to live the glamorous lifestyle of celebrities, with luxurious homes, cars, and vacations. They want to be able to live without financial worry or responsibility.

Want a fat crib with the acres
Having a large and expensive home with a lot of land is seen as a symbol of wealth and success.

So they spend money that they ain't made yet
Some people spend money they don't have, hoping that they will be able to pay it back once they become successful. This can lead to financial problems and debt.

Got a benz on tik that they ain't paid yet
Some people will finance or lease a luxury car, even if they can't afford it, just to appear successful and wealthy.

Spend their pay cheque
Many people live paycheck to paycheck, spending all the money they earn without saving for the future or unexpected expenses.

In the west end on the weekend
People often spend their money on expensive activities and entertainment, such as going out to bars and clubs in wealthy areas like London's West End.

Got no money by the end of the weekend
Despite making extravagant purchases and living a luxurious lifestyle, many people find themselves broke at the end of the week or month.

But they don't care cause their life is a movie
People often live their lives as if they're in a movie or a reality show, more concerned with appearing successful and glamorous than with their financial well-being.

Starring Louis V, paid for by yours truly
People may buy expensive designer clothing and accessories to impress others and show off their wealth and status.

Truthfully, it's a joke, like a bad episode of hollyoaks
The pursuit of wealth and fame can be seen as meaningless and ridiculous, like a poorly written and unrealistic TV show.

Can't keep up with the cover girls
People try to keep up with the latest trends and beauty standards, often spending money on expensive clothing, beauty products, and cosmetic procedures.

So they got bad credit livin' on day rate
Many people live beyond their means, on credit and payday loans, accumulating debt and struggling to pay for basic necessities.

Livin' in debt when they still don't get
Despite their efforts to appear successful and wealthy, many people remain in debt and financial hardship, unable to achieve the life they desire.

Cause they too busy livin' the high life, the night life
People are too focused on their social lives and appearances, neglecting their financial responsibilities and long-term goals.

Lovin' the high when livin' it large
People enjoy the thrill and excitement of living a lavish lifestyle, even if it means sacrificing their financial stability and future.

And they all say
The desire for wealth and fame is so strong that many people will do whatever it takes to achieve it, even if it means sacrificing their morals and values.

Let me take you down to London city
The song is shifting focus to London, a city where the pursuit of wealth and status is rampant.

Where the attitude's bad and the weather is shitty
London can be a tough and uninviting place, with a lot of competition and hardship.

Everybody's on a paper chase
Everyone is striving to make money, sometimes at the expense of others or their own well-being.

It's one big rat race
The pursuit of wealth and success in London can feel like a never-ending competition and struggle.

Everybodys got a screw face
People in London can be hostile and unfriendly, due to the stress and pressure of city life.

So many 2 face
People can be fake and disloyal in their pursuit of wealth and status, using others for their own gain.

Checkin their high just like their ready to ride
People are always looking for their next big opportunity or score, always prepared for the next challenge or adventure.

I'm on the inside looking at the outside
The singer is observing the behavior and attitudes of people in London, but not necessarily participating in it themselves.

So it's an accurate reflection
The singer's observations of London society are truthful and accurate.

City wide, north, east, west and the southside
The obsession with wealth and status is prevalent throughout the entire city of London.

Everywhere I go there's a goon on the corner
There are people in London who engage in criminal behavior, often due to poverty and desperation.

Guns and drugs cause the citys like a sauna
The prevalence of violence and drug use in London make it feel like a dangerous and inhospitable place.

And it's getting warmer, and out of order
The situation in London is getting worse and more chaotic, with increasing levels of crime and social unrest.

Tryna put a struggling mother to a morner
People in London are often struggling to make ends meet, and some resort to desperate measures, such as crime or prostitution, to survive.

Mr polititian can you tell me the solution
The singer is asking government officials to address the problems facing London and its citizens.

What's the answer, what's the conclusion
Despite the severity of the issues in London, there is no clear solution or consensus on how to address them.

Is it an illusion, is it I'm a thug
The singer wonders if their observations of London's problems are accurate, or if they are being influenced by their own biases or experiences.

I see younger die because they tryna live large
The artist has witnessed young people die in their pursuit of wealth and status, reflecting the dangers and risks of this lifestyle.

And they all say
Despite the risks and consequences of the pursuit of wealth and fame, many people still prioritize these goals over their own well-being and the well-being of others.

I've no excuse, I just want you to use me
The singer is acknowledging their own willingness to engage in unethical behavior and be used by others for their own gain.

Take me and abuse me
The singer is willing to endure mistreatment and abuse in exchange for money and status.

I got no taboos, I'll make a trade with you

Do anything you wa-ant me to
