In the best performance
Of his career
UK rappers
The best actors
Learnt from Dave
Kano and Ashley
Got Will Smith
Cube and Latifah
But I'm a London boy
So I need to
I need to
Play the role
My globe theatre
Round the world
I hear the fears
Of my friends, fam
Gone lose the accent
Long as I got my North Face jacket
Rolling backy
Walking happy
When Old Bill don't stop and tap me
Ideas fresh
Don't sound too hackneyed
Let them personalities tap in
Sound American
When I'm rapping
But I know you'll still understand me
Still understand
Who I am
I let the fans see
My real self
Or the part I'm playing
Definition of self-made
Reflection is my creation
Every day is groundbreaking
Can you understand?
I'll be a star

So I need to
I need to
No West Coast gang bang
No ATL slang
But I got my twang
I act
Let my vowels hang
No West Coast gang bang
No ATL slang
But I got my twang
I act
Let my vowels hang
I'm really an actor
From many factors
Cole talking 'bout Black men
Wearing face backwards
Mix that with humour
That's dry as a cactus
That British stiff upper lip
Posh as a practice
I'm working
I'm middle
I'm classy
I'm passive
A rude boy
Emotional
Hard with the banter
Soft with the candour
I'm loving
Irrational
No wonder
Mickey Mouse comes out with the anger
Well
Actually
