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 max   But we still got two dues we're inclined to pay   And I much prefer the profit margin nowadays   And crystal methods all the height with crack   It was no shock to me when we flew to the door   At the Nas gig where the mans were shooting in 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 dancing   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 hiders, we fight football rivalry   The work wac means to cum back home   And I wrote the ten wac 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 terrorist   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
