Two Nations

Two nations divided
 By a common language
 And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing
 But the difference is language
 And just the bits you got wrong
 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language
 Sorry, oi, that's just my idea of a joke
 But you guys are different to us across the pond folk
 And I keep having to say that I'm only joking
 In New York when I have to buy fags on the road, oi
 Biggy man, god bless America and that
 But you lot keep killing all your best talent
 We build up our stars and then papers sweep on them
 And you build on stars and maniacs shoot them
 I don't know much about nines and macks
 But we still got two-two's we're inclined to pack
 And I much prefer the profit margin nowadays
 with crystal method, its all hype with crack
 It was no shock to me when we flew to the door
 At the Nas gig when Mans was shooting a war
 Since it got reported in the latest news story
 That London is now more dangerous than New york
 Two nations divided
 By a common language
 And about two hundred years of new songs and dances
 But the difference is language
 And just the bits you got wrong
 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language, oi
 Understated is how we prefer to be
 That's why I've sold three millions and you've never heard of me
 The paparazzi shoot me the the girls all loose on me
 But don't shoot idols, we fight football rivalry
 The word whack means to con back home
 And I wrote the ten whack commandments on my own
 I was in front of the bloke shooting at the Nas show
 But they weren't shooting at him it was honor that night though
 We don't shoot idols happily shoot instead
 Up my road the police just thought are you dead
 'Cause they guessed he might of been a bit of a terrorister
 Does this bomb look big in this bag then but we love Biggy, Johnny Cash and Stevie Wonder
 It's no Biggy we got no Cash and its no Wonder
 'Cause I'm proud we gave you people like John Lennon
 Even though you shot him as well
 Two nations divided
 By a common language
 And about two hundred years of new songs and dancing
 But the difference is language
 And just the bits you got wrong
 'Cause we were the ones who invented the language
