Stormzy – Dude lyrics
(Dude)
Yo
Diztortion
(Dude)
Yeah, man's gonna do this one in one take
Yeah

You ain't that dude
You ain't that dude
You ain't that dude
You ain't that dude

Oh no, no way, how is he still here?
(How is he still here?)
I'm like a permanent scar, I just can't disappear
(Nah man, I can't disappear)
I don't wanna be the king but it seems that it's pretty clear
(Yeah, it seems pretty clear, man)
15 summers straight, I ain't never skip a year
I ain't never skip a year
Yeah, yeah, so who's really really here?
Who's in the second league, who's in the top tier?
Who's really making a living off these bars?
Who really can afford a video with the cars?
Oof, I'm just saying
Tell me, who's really living that life?
It don't make you rich
Cause you got 2, 2, look at Ice

You ain't that dude
What you are on the 'Gram
In real life you live with your marms
You ain't that dude!
All that money in your hand
Real dons put that money in the bank
You ain't that dude!
Trust me we know who you are
Trust me, you're not who you are
You ain't that dude!
Yeah, on the 'Gram you're a star
But in real life fam, you're a par
You ain't that dude!

Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude

I got a British passport but can't get no BRIT
(Nah I can't get no BRIT)
Fuse had top 5 hits, weren't nominated for shit
(No nomination, ya know)
Tryna' keep us hidden, tryna' keep us underground
(Yeah, underground)
Only coverage we get's when London's burning down
(They don't wanna see another riot)
I couldn't care about an MC list, I win in real life
(Yeah, I win in real life)
Quarter of a mil for the Lamborghini, I know that it's nice
(It's nice ya know, fam)
Five chart hits in a row, big up the fans, they rate me
(Big up the fans, Dench Gang, Dench Gang)
Unsuccessful people, they're the ones that hate me
(Man got love for me still)

You ain't that dude!
What you are on the 'Gram
In real life you live with your marms
You ain't that dude!
All that money in your hand
Real dons put that money in the bank
You ain't that dude!
Trust me we know who you are
Trust me, you're not who you are
You ain't that dude!
Yeah, on the 'Gram you're a star
But in real life fam, you're a par
You ain't that dude!

Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude

My big bro Lethal brought me on tour last year
I just sold out mine
I said "Lethal, how I get a car like that?"
He said "trust me, it's all in the mind"
He said "Pow 2004" shut down
Leeds Fest 2009
Like 10 years from it first got played
And it still holds weight after all this time
Man can't ever tell me 'bout grime
I spray bars and my enemies die
Walk in the rave with a smile on my face
Yeah, I do my ting though I've never been signed
You've only got one flow? Ah, never mind
Everybody hates so I hate them too
You wanna talk like you're down for the hype
But let's be real, fam, you ain't that dude, word

You ain't that
What you are on the 'Gram
In real life you live with your marms
You ain't that dude
All that money in your hand
Real dons put that money in the bank
You ain't that dude
Trust me we know who you are
Trust me, you're not who you are
You ain't that dude
Yeah, on the 'Gram you're a star
But in real life fam, you're a par
You ain't that dude

Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
Nah fam, you ain't that dude
You ain't that dude

Yeah
Diztortion
Dude
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Du du dude
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You ain't that dude
