PETE & BAS – Top of the World

Pete & Bas are a British hip hop duo based in London, formed in 2017. They are notable for the songs “The Old Estate”, “Dents in a Peugeot”, and their debut single, “Shut Ya Mouth”.

The duo consists of two rap artists aged in their 70s. They released their first single in 2017 with “Shut Ya Mouth”. They recorded the song after Pete discovered his enjoyment for hip hop when his granddaughter was playing rap music on his car radio. He told Bas about it, and they decided that it would be good fun to issue it on YouTube. It was an immediate success and went viral, so they continued to create new music. They have also done successful gigs and a concert tour in major UK cities.

[Intro] (NineOne)(Omelette du fromage)

[Verse 1: Pete and Bas] Come and talk to me, darlin’ Mucho gusto, walk with me, darlin’ Una bebida mas por favour That’s a Pina Colada, I need one more (Yeah) Lean for me, swing for me Spin around like the barrell of a bing for me You’re keen for me, sing for me You can’t hide it, I know you got a thing for me So baby, grab your bagWait with your mate while I grab the JagAnd you know I got the cashJust pick what you want, we can pop the tagsLife of the party babyRack ten shots of Bacardi babyBig bank, fast cars and a private jetAnd I can do karate baby

[Chorus: Pete and Bas] I don’t know what they told ya I shoot guns and I’ll bonk your girl Birds up when I duck the police My pint and my fag, I’m on top of the world I don’t know what thеy told ya I shoot guns and I’ll bonk your girl Birds up when I duck the police My pint and my fag, I’m on top of thе world

[Verse 2: Pete and Bas] Two steppin’ in my Espadrilles Strapped to the teeth and I’m dressed to kill Lookin’ sharp baby, what’s the deal? If your man pipes up, he can neck the steel Talkin’ ’bout a bing in your mouth It’ll take one shot but I’ll give him the round (Pow) And I can even give him a tan I’ll leave him out on the beach with his head in the sand Chest out with my chain on the chest hairFeet up, blow trees in a deck chairClean cut with Pinot GrigioI ain’t pissed yet, but you’ll see when I get thereSee me? I’m a big manYou’re a tipi, I’m a wigwamYou’re a little string bean of a manWith a pea for a brain and a house like a tin can

[Chorus: Pete and Bas] I don’t know what they told ya I shoot guns and I’ll bonk your girl Birds up when I duck the police My pint and my fag, I’m on top of the world I don’t know what they told ya I shoot guns and I’ll bonk your girl Birds up when I duck the police My pint and my fag, I’m on top of the world
