Streets, The - Let's Push Things Forward Lyrics






This ain't the down it's the upbeat
Make it complete
So what's the story?
Guaranteed accuracy enhanced CD
Latest technology, Darts at Treble 20
Huge non-recuparable advance
Majors be vigilent
I excel in both content and deliverance
So let's put on our classics
And we'll ave a little dance, shall we?
No sales pitch, no media hype
No hydro, it's nice and ripe
I speak in communication in bold type
This AIN'T yer archetypal street sound
Scan for ultrasound North, South, East, West
And all round and then to the underground
You say that every thing sounds the same
Then you go buy them! There's no excuses my friend
Let's push things forward
As we progress to the checkpoint
I wholeheartedly agree with yer viewpoint
But this ain't your typical Garage joint
I make points which hold significance
That ain't a bag it's shipment
This ain't a track it's a movement
I got the settlement
My frequencies are transient
And resonate your eardrums
I make bangers not anthems
Leave that to the Artful Dodger
The broad shouldered 51% shareholder
You won't find us on Alta Vista
Cult classic, not bestseller
Your gonna need more power,
Plug in the freephase and the generator
Crank it up to the gigawatts
Critics ready with the potshots, the plot thickens
Put on yer mittens for these sub-zero conditions
But remember I'm just spittin',
Remember I'm just spittin'
Once bitten, forever smitten
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them! There's no excuses my friend
Let's Push Things Forward
Spilt jewels like Eastern Riches
Junkie Fixes
Around 'ere we say Birds, not bitches
As London Bridge burns down, Brixton's burning up
Turns out your in luck
Cos I know this dodgy fuck in The Duck
So it's just another showflick from your
Local City Poet
Case you geezers don't know it
Lets Push Things Forward
It's a tall order, but were taller
Calling all mawlers, backstreet brawlers
Cornershop crawlers, victories flawless
Love us or hate us, but don't slate us
Don't conform to formulas
Pop genres and such Sharp darts, double Dutch
Parked cars, troubles a much with more Bud
Let's Push Things Forward
You say that everything sounds the same
Then you go buy them! There's no excuses my friend
Let's Push Things Forward.

    I remember seeing him MCing while Goldie was DJing and he spelled out his name..M to the i to the k to the e to the S to the k to the i to the the n to the n to the e to the r.. And no one in the audience clocked that it was him. Goldie f@cked up his mix, not realising we couldn't hear half of what he was hearing on his monitor setup, and Mr Skinner turned round to him and said pointedly "You need to get out more!".. Most folk, even Goldie, were oblivious to why he said that at that moment.

  48. T.... A....

    I was a Streetie from 15-22 years old, a friend gave me your album ‘original pirate material’ it was so ausum. felt like you could relate with me and helped me so much with my transition into a brand new lifestyle. Thank You so much for everything.

    i heard this on the belgian radio the other day.
    absolutely love it

  82. R.... K....

    Who's here in 2019?

    R.... K....

    Came here from Mike's documentary on the rise of grime in Birmingham. As soon as I saw him hosting in that doc, I was like, "That's the guy from the Streets??!" Very excited because when I was 11 or 12 my brother and I were visiting my grandmother, and that's the only place pretty much we ever got our hands on a tv set that got MTV, and on this day we saw the Streets' Push Things Forward, and it made a pretty profound impact on us I think, like yeah, this is something really cool. To the point that.. This many years later this is my first time watching this again but I remembered these guys, I remembered this vibe, my brother and I kept singing this song and staying hype on it after watching the vid one time. We have a band now and I don't think I can say that we sound anything like what these blokes were doin back here almost 2 decades ago, but I do like to think that there's this kernel of ambition & reaching for something new and creative that feels like the same heart. Bless the hunger and frustration in this vid, creativity that's definitely left its stroke on the world. ✌💖

    R.... K....

    #WatskyKillAHippster it's a movement

    R.... K....

    Yeah Boiiii

    R.... K....

    Stop it. Don't be that guy.

  83. D.... P....

    Haha. Chorus and beat is dope

  84. D.... t....

    Wow forgot about this song. Last time I heard it I was still using AOL Dial Up. 🤭
    Still love it

  85. K.... D....

    This very tune was the first thing I heard of authentic UK music. I now know its more garage or whatever but THIS actually got me into grime. I thought it was so ridiculously slick and neat and smart. Then grime blew my head off. I finally got to London in 2005 and met some official grime artists (Kano, Skepta, Jammer) but I remember thinking it would've been sick to meet The Streets. My love of real UK music started with The Streets. I'll never forget.

  86. B.... B....

    Let’s push things forward

  87. R.... ....

  88. S.... ....
