It’s I Smiley Cuulture with the mike in a me hand
Me come to teach you right and not the wrong
In a de Cockney Translation
Cockney’s not a Language it is only a slang
And was originated yah so inna England
The first place it was used was over East London
It was respect for the different style pronunciation
But it wasn’t really used by any and any man
Me say strictly con-man also the villain
But through me full up of lyrics and education
Right here now you a go get a little translation
Cockney have name like Treey, Arthur and del-boy
We have name like Winston, Lloyd and Leroy
We bawl out YOW! While cockneys say OI!
What cockney call a Jack’s we call a Blue Bwoy
Say cockney have mates while we have spar
Cockneylive in a brum while we live in a yard
Say we nyam while cockney gwt capture
Cockney say guv’nor. We say Big Bout ya

Well watch a man…………………………
The translation of cockney to understand is easy
So long as you don’t deaf and you listen me keenly
You should pick it up likea youth who find some money
Go tell it to your friends also your family
No matter if a English or a Yardy
Ca’ you never when them might buck up a cockney
Remember warm dem dem deh man dem don’t easy

But first let me tell you more about thr cockney
Who live comfortably and have yacht by the sea
And when it come to monry most of then have plenty
But where dum spend it? In de bookie
Lose it all on the dogs or on the gee gees
Or paying off fe dem bribes to the Sweeney
So dem nah go do no time fe no armed robbery
Or catching antthing that fell off the back of a lorry
Slam bam
Jah man
Hear dem
Fashion
Me strong
Me long
Me at the mike stand
More time
In a dance
Me chat
‘Pon a sound
But sometimes me shake out and leave me home town
And that’s when me travel a East London
Where I have to speak as a different man
So that the cockney can understand
So black man and white man hear dem fashion
Cockney say scarper, We say scatter
Cockney say rabbit, We chatter
We say bleach, Cockney Knackered!
Cockney say triffic, We say waaacked!
Cockney say blokes, We say guys
Cockney say Alright? We say Ites!
we say pants, Cockney say strides
Sweet as a nut…………………. just level vibes. Seen?
Philip Levi throws off a couple of heavily echoed introductory phrases and he’s off. “Mi god, mi king, him name Jahoviah, Him inspire me to be a mike chanter” launching straight into a perfectly measured, nonstop lyrical incantation with never a pause for breath.
