[Verse 1: UK garage male MC, quick swung UK garage flow over a rolling bassline] Rooftop off the high street when the sun goes down in Peckham Garage on the speaker and the whole roof started steppin' I'm the first one on the floor and I'm the last one out the door Two steps ahead of anyone, bruv, I've done this all before See a girl across the rooftop with a lanyard round her neck Think she's lookin' at my footwork, so I give her my respect Do the shuffle and the skip and then I hit the shoulder roll Look again, she's at the decks, innit, she's the one in control [Hook: UK garage male MC, full swung garage drums and speed garage bass] Two steps ahead, bruv, you're dancin' where I've been Every move you think of, I was halfway through it then Garage on the rooftop and the bassline in my chest Catch me if you can, but you'll be catchin' up at best [Verse 2: UK garage male MC, cocky, bars on the swung snare] I was walkin' at ten months and I was talkin' at a year I was steppin' at my cousin's do before the cake was here First one with the trainers on the day the new ones came First one up the stairs tonight and first to clock the game So I walk up to the decks and she just hands me a mic Says go on then, if you're quick, innit, the floor is yours tonight So I take it and I run it, and I'm two steps up the track And she lifts a second mic and says, alright, love, now look back [Hook: UK garage male MC, full swung garage drums and speed garage bass] Two steps ahead, bruv, you're dancin' where I've been Every move you think of, I was halfway through it then Garage on the rooftop and the bassline in my chest Catch me if you can, but you'll be catchin' up at best [Cypher: UK garage male MC and female garage MC Shay trade two bars each, step skip, the swung beat skips a step and Shay's first bar lands in the gap] [UK garage male MC] Two steps ahead, I was on this roof before the sun dipped Clocked the best spot by the speaker, front row where the bass hit [Shay, female garage MC] Babe, I booked this roof in March, I picked the speaker and the spot Picked the tune you're steppin' to, you're dancin' on the plot I got [UK garage male MC] Fine, but I was first to move the second that the bass came heavy [Shay, female garage MC] I was second, on purpose, so I'd see if you were ready [UK garage male MC] So who's ahead then, Shay, if every step was on your list? [Shay, female garage MC] You're two steps ahead of everyone, and I'm the one that put you there, bruv, that's the twist [Final Hook: UK garage male MC, full swung garage drums and speed garage bass] Two steps ahead, bruv, you're dancin' where I've been Every move you think of, I was halfway through it then Garage on the rooftop and the bassline in my chest Catch me if you can, but you'll be catchin' up at best [End]
