LYRICS
What's the story? Me names Joanna
The only word that rhymes with is banana
As you can tell, I'm a rapper
You probably think that I'm just a slapper
But say it to me face and you'll get a dig
Oh look there's a word that rhymes with pig
I have an idea for a song that's good
I'm going to rap about about being from the hood
See I grew up in Finglas South
Say anything bad about it and I'll knock you out
You're meant to rap about it if your working class
About how ya do nothing but sit on your arse
You're meant to say something about being on the dole
Rap in a Dublin accent about a pain in your hole
Me life is such a misery, I'll go on TV3
You can tell by me accent that I'm most definitely from
Dublin
Rapping bout things that are mental, like it's South Central
Coz I'm from Dublin
Rapping about drive-by shootings, thinking it's Brooklyn
Gonna write a rap about how I haven't got a job
I'm so broke I go to Tesco and I rob
I think I might rap that me uncle has a gun
Or how my cousin Anto likes to take it up the bum
I might write a rap about how my life is very tough
And how gangs down at Centra make the place so rough
I might even write about my homies in me crew
Or how I rap coz there's nothing else to do
I could rap about the turf war that we have with Ballymun
Or how I robbed a Topaz and now I'm on the run
Me and my homies never get a chance
I could be like something off Save The Last Dance
Me mates all think that I'm like Nicki Minaj
Rap at karaoke down the village with the lads
I'm from the hood yo, down in the ghetto
I can't think of anything that rhymes with that
From Dublin
Rapping about things that are mental, like it's South Central
Coz I'm from Dublin
Rapping bout drive-by shootings, thinking it's Brooklyn
