The Beat That My Heart Skipped (Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip)

Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount A plan that I can implement To make a dent on ignorance Instead of drunk belligerence And the dissidence of miscreants Especially in this instance With the never ending persistence To use the words in each sentence As if they were blunt instruments To beat a hole in the defence Of this beauty and her innocence Which serves to just build resistance In spite of all my good intents. The beat that my heart skipped. This is the beat that my heart skipped. This is the beat that my heart skipped. This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met Now that I've heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret No disrespect We just left a lot of people upset And what we had wasn't really what we'd come to expect Well good god damn and other such phrases I haven't heard a beat like this in ages To miss such a beat would have been outrageous But when you heart skips a beat it's ruthless and aimless She caught my attention in her fishnets Then she reeled me in expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex But that weren't the case with this platinum princess She'd attracted my interest So I wanted to impress?. Upon her all the positive things That come form having more than just a one night fling But that's something easier in theory than in practice Since pick up lines are tactics To get prey to the mattress And this actress Is practiced In shunning such theatrics When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics So my genuine advances are met with rue scepticism Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them But I really want to know what she thinks of me Because I'm loving every idiosyncrasy But I ain't one to jump through hoops to make a 1st impression Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are So I real selves hide behind the pomp and the facade And that's as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard This is the beat that my heart skipped. This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met Now that I've heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret No disrespect We just left a lot of people upset And what we had wasn't really what we'd come to expect Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount A plan that I can implement To make a dent on ignorance Instead of drunk belligerence And the dissidence of miscreants Especially in this instance With the never ending persistence To use the words in each sentence As if they were blunt instruments To beat a hole in the defence Of this beauty and her innocence Which serves to just build resistance In spite of all my good intents. The beat that my heart skipped. This is the beat that my heart skipped.
