# Proper Creepy Sick
Time out of school
I should be King
I love BMXin’
Stop bullying
Bring me some C.O.D
And buckets full of bling.
No school uniforms-
EXPRESS YOURSELF!
This is the sound
Of the Underground Celts!
Get Up Stand Up
Welcome to Jam Rock!
Put on your best shades
We represent Welsh Hip Hop!
Bob Marley represents Peace and Freedom
Not forgetting his chilling Reggae
3 Little Birds sang “Don’t worry be happy!”
Grow your hair, chill out, play some beats from Bob Marley.
Sun and freedom- Waaagwwaaarrnn Sanca Man
I shot the Sheriff, so this is my Redemption Song
Get Up Stand Up, Yeah Man, Peace Man
In the darkness of the cold, channel your inner Rasta Man!
Boxing, Bikes, Bad Junkies
Hate surprises, hate suspense, want more money
Piercings, weed, tropical fish
My teapot Chihuahua will destroy your Bull Mastiff.
GTA5 will suck you in
My Nan doesn’t understand and she slammed it in the bin
What a sin, I’ll wipe that grin
Off your cheeky chin chin!
Your mums got a big bum chin
I’ll wipe her smile and her bling.
Beatbox, Gaming, Bad Man Swag
I’d mess on the streets but not with my dad.
Facebook, Twitter, Skype to mates
Social Networking, set up dates.
Surfing curbs, flip tricks, forever fab
Sometimes good, sometimes bad.
Personalities are not always what they seem
Where you’re born, how you talk, different accents, different scenes.
Music, hobbies, your identity tag themes
Showing love and respect, friends and families.
