Fuckin' pussyole!

(CHORUS)
Beep! Beep!
Comin' through,
Move over,

Hurry up or you're gonna get HURT!

You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
I'll put you in a early grave!
(CHORUS)

(Verse 1)
TDA TDA I'll break in your car and I'll take it away,
Thats how I used to roll back in the day,
And I did it for a laugh,
I didn't even get paid,
And I couldn't give a shit about a junction,
Couldn't care less about a red light's function,
Drive sorta like I'm drunk and swervin' swervin'
Got 2 wheels on the kerb and
murdering tarmac full black,
on my stereo full blast 2pac!
holla if you hear me, cuz im only gunna beep once
I'll knock down all of these,
let down one of these,
run down all of these
CHUMPS drive faster when I see speed bumps,
Killin' off stunts,
I'm a smart guy but if you see me drive you'll think I'm a dunce like

(CHORUS)
Beep! Beep!
Comin' through,
Move over,
Yeah you,
Don't argue,
Just blurt,
Hurry up you gunna get HURT!

You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
I'll put you in an early grave!
(CHORUS)

(Verse 2)
NEEEEEOWWW! Mind Out!
If you don't listen to me you'll find out,
I don't indicate, I just swing about taking up two lanes
playing dare devil games
i don't give a shit 'cause my car is tinted
and if I get caught I don't care about minted,
Driving in the fast lane,
ready for the violence,
Had 6 points before I even had a license

NOW im legit,
And I couldn't give a rats ass,
All i see is flashlights coz I drive too fast,
But Im still a trooper,
In ma mini cooper,
went head to head had a crash with a police car,
Didn't get arrested,
Didn't have to kick off,
I was alright but the car got write off,
Just another day in the life of a lunatic,
Rub me up the wrong way watch me start losing it like..

(CHORUS)
Beep! Beep!
Comin' through,
Move over,
Yeah you,
Don't argue,
Just blurt,
Hurry up you gunna get HURT!

You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
I'll put you in an early grave!
(CHORUS)

MOVE
When you see me coming down the road,
MIND OUT
When you see me coming down the road,
Couldn't give a shit when I'm driving down the road,
This is a warning you've been told,
Neoooow! Move over!
Neoooow! Move over!
Neoooooooooooow! Move over!
Neoooooooooooow! Move over!

(Verse 3)
Driving with my lights in the daytime,
Everybody looking at me, Crazy!
WHAT!
I put my middle finger in the sky above
If I see flashing lights I just might not stop,
Lets go for a joyride,
Speed through the ghetto,
I'll say goodbye before I even say hello,
Im far from mellow!
I don't wanna chat,
I'll get out ma car and give you a slap,

Never mind all that cuz you really ain't ready tho,
Im so high,
I just wanna hear ma stereo,
but i got my girl moanin in my left ear,
there's a lot of stress here, you better steer clear,
Car just cut me up, I didn't take kindly
plus i got this other silly BASTARD behind me,
Had enough of being courteous and smiley, blimely
Now I really gotta get grimey like..

(CHORUS)
Beep! Beep!
Comin' through,
Move over,
Yeah you,
Don't argue,
Just blurt,
Hurry up you gunna get HURT!

You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!
NAH!
You don't wanna see a road rage!




I'll put you in an early grave!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dizzee Rascal's "Road Rage" are an anthem to aggressive driving, with Dizzee flaunting his disregard for traffic laws and safety. While he seems to relish the chaos of driving, his anger and frustration build until he threatens violence to anyone who gets in his way. The song plays with the idea of road rage as a kind of perverse thrill or adrenaline rush, with Dizzee bragging about his previous car thefts and indifference to traffic laws. The chorus repeats the warning to "move over" or risk violent consequences, with Dizzee promising to put anyone who crosses him "in an early grave."


Underneath the aggressive bravado, there's a sense of alienation and anger, with Dizzee channeling his frustrations into driving recklessly rather than confronting his issues more directly. The lyrics feel like a snapshot of toxic masculinity, with Dizzee's anger and aggression directed towards anyone he perceives as weaker or "less than" him, including women, other drivers, and pedestrians. In this way, the song is both a critique of reckless driving and a commentary on the dangerous ways that anger and frustration can manifest when left unchecked.
