Mike Skinner's recordings as the Streets marked the first attempt to add a degree of social commentary to Britain's party-hearty garage/2-step (and later grime) movement. Skinner was initially an outsider in the garage scene. Although his initial recordings appeared on Locked On, the premiere source for speed garage and 2-step from 1998 to the end of the millennium, he listened first to hip-hop, then house and jungle. The Streets biggest hits include “Blinded By The Lights”, “Dry Your Eyes”, “Don’t Mug Yourself”, “Fit But You Know It”, “Let’s Push Things Forward” and “Has It Come To This”. The iconic Streets catalogue also includes the albums “Original Pirate Material”, “A Grand Don’t Come For Free”, “The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living”, “Everything Is Borrowed” and “Computers and Blues”.

Oi! Oi! Oi!“ Hold it down, boy, your head's getting blurred I know you can't stop thinking of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself Seriously Mike, you fucker No, no, no! I mean, I'll fuckin', I'm no way, d'you know what I mean? I mean I'll fuckin'... I can take it or leave it, believe! And then Calvin's like, “Oi!“ You need to hold it down Jack, put your phone back Quit starin' into space and eat your snack, that's that She'll want you much more for not hangin' on Stop me if I'm wrong, stop me if I'm wrong Why should she be the one who decides Whether it's off or on, or on, or off or on? Now the girl's rude, I know she's rude But she screwed right through you, you'll be on your knees soon Hold it down, boy, your head's getting blurred I know you can't stop thinking of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself And I'm like, honestly, it's not like that Your actin' like I'm prancin' like a sap Jumpin' when she claps and that Oy, do you really think I act whack? 'Cause I'm telling you, I'm servin' the aces And it's game, set and match Perfectly in control of this goal, I've got the lead role Won't be foldin', I'm older than you told Girl sold, high speed's gold Game over, game over, too cold Hold it down, boy, your head's getting blurred I know you can't stop thinking of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself Hold it down, boy, your head's getting blurred I know you can't stop thinking of her By all means, you can vibe with this girl But just don't mug yourself, that's all, don't mug yourself Hold it down, boy, your head's getting blurred I know you can't stop thinking of her That girl is – she has smelly on her P's She must have crab and fuckin' shrimp in her teeth (No! Oh no, that's it, that's it) Hold on, hold on, let me go again Are we, are we still recording?
