I Invented Hip Hop

Lyrics

Can you explain what this, "Chap hop," thing is all about?
 (Is all about, is all about, is all about?)
 A new type of music taking hold of the UK, called "Chap Hop"
 (Chap Hop, Chap Hop, Chap Hop)
 Imagine if Hip Hop had been created during the Victorian Era
 Is it okay I'm a little bit scared?
 It's- It's a bit like that but with a lot more cricket
 (Cricket, cricket, cricket)
 Mr. B, he's the Gentleman Rhymer
 He is a chap, he, uh, he invented Chap Hop
 (Chap Hop, Chap Hop, Chap Hop)
 Mr. B: John Shuttleworth crossed with Stew Griffin
 Influenced by Dizzee Rascal and John Cooper Clarke
 (Cooper Clarke, Cooper Clarke, Cooper Clarke)
 There's a very dedicated, hardcore of Chap Hop fange
 (Fange, fange, fange)
 So, uh, what has reaction been from the traditional Hip Hop community?
 (Community, Community, Community)
 The former editor of Vice Magazine
 He shared to him, "Hey, Mr.B
 "You're the only fucking thing that's
 "happening in Hip- in Hip hop right now"
 (Right now, right now, right now)
 Come on, this is the future of music, gang. Chap hop-
 (Chap hop, Chap hop, Chap hop)
 Now, Surrey isn't outer space
 It's where I'm from and it's, uh
 It's really rather nice
 (Really rather nice, really rather nice, really rather nice)
 Mr.B is truly a man apart
 This, is Chap hop
 When I was born up in the North End of Surrey
 I got out of there in something of a hurry
 For, three wise men were waiting at the door, called
 Hurch, Flash and Grand Wizard Theodore
 Bearing gifts of gold, change, street sense, and murder
 Words of the matter spread like placenta on the bed
 So, I said onto them
 "Because I could do that right away, as it happened"
 (Let's not get bogged down in that right now)
 I said, "Hip, hop, hippy
 "Hippedy B, etcetera and you don't stop
 "Now get back to the bronks and don't tell all the honks just yet
 "They'll pop a dock for ya'll and take all the bread!"
 That's what I said to them, as I sent them on their way
 With a plan in my head for them to call me on the day
 When the pop's stop locked
 And the block's got rocked
 The supreme team-show from a cotton chimino, because
 I invented Hip hop
 I did it in my head
 Called Hurc on the phone
 And he took fat, five Fred
 The casual illegality that tied me to reality
 I made it up before I went to bed
 I invented Hip hop
 I did it in my head
 Called Hurc on the phone
 And he took fat, five Fred
 The casual illegality that tied me to reality
 I made it up before I went to bed
 With a cup of cocoa
