Music Mondays - No Regrets by Dappy

Dappy was originally part of the British hip hop band N-Dubz. No Regrets is his first solo single and I love it, even though I was never a fan of the original band.

 There is a lot of truth in his lyrics. All the members of N-Dubz had a rough upbringing living in some tough housing states in London and they are a true success story. No wonder this song sounds quite close to the bone. What do you think?

LYRICS...

NO REGRETS

by Dappy

Hear me out!

This is my king's speech, 

I'm no where near the end,
If I start, sorry I aint heaven sent,
I messed my life up 

And yeah I've been down
I'm a changed man now.

Chris Brown, 

You know I feel your pain cause I done, been through it.

I'm Kurt Cobain, but I just couldn't do it.
No point in turning back, just to hit rewind,
Back to the future, Marty Mcfly.

Deep inside there's a fire, 

Cause I'm no longer looking at a reflection that I admire,
I paint a picture of a fighter

But that someone looking back at me says I'm a liar

CHORUS
If I should die before I wake, 

The least that I could ever say, 

I made mistakes but held on to my faith.

Cause when I look in a mirror 

I don't even recognize myself,
I got the heart of a winner,
but looking back at me is someone else.

No Regrets (x2),
No point in crying over yesterday
No Regrets (x2)
Cause we ain't even seen the best of days!

This is my last chance, 

I'm on my final straw,
I came so close to breaking like a spinal cord,
I came from nothing, 

Some kid in Camden,
Now I'm flying in the birds, Richard Branson.

I'm a Prince and yes I will 

Get the crown.

Kate stays in my dungeon when her sister's round.
So please forgive me, 

If I make mistakes,
but I'll blow the bloody doors off, Michael Caine

CHORUS

I'm free 

To be whatever I,

Cause I'm famous 

Call me Gallager cause I'm so shameless.
The papers sold the pages at the cost of my failures, 

Victimised by the public 

Dont know if I cant take this, 

So I sing,

So when you feel like there's no more, 

Nothing left but the life you've broken, 

No regrets, no turning back,
Pick up yourself and tell them: I'm just being me!

Cause when I look in the Mirror

I don't even recognize myself.

I got the heart of a winner,

but looking back at me is someone else.

No regrets (2x)

No point on crying over yesterday.

No regrets (2x)

Cause we ain't even seen the best of days.

No regrets!

Cause when I look in the mirror

I don't even recognize myself.

I got the heart of a winner,

but looking back at me is someone else.

No regrets (2x)

No point of crying over yesterday.

No regrets (2x)

Cause we ain't even seen the best of days.

Cause when I look in the mirror

I don't even recognize myself,

I got the heart of a winner,

but looking back at me is someone else.

No regrets (2x)

No point of crying over yesterday.

No regrets (2x)

Cause you ain't even seen the best of me.
