Lyrics
We level up

We level up

Smash

Yeah we level up

I'm gonna climb up the levels, go harder

Lights flash every time we go fast

I'll never lose the game, I'm gonna last

So let's start

Yeah we level up

All over the radio and back up in the raves again

We got the crowd on a wave like it's a stadium

Call me the weatherman, it's about to be a great weekend

I'm on the cloud, let's make it rain again

Yeah, we level up

Nice but naughty, shirts and dresses looking saucy

Living in our minuses 'cause life begins at 40

Level up, call me Bond, James Bond

How I maintain? I tell them winner stays on

My brain racing like I'm trying to win the gold for Britain (yes! )

On a one track mind, let's go the distance

We're only stopping when we pose for pictures

And now we move so wavy, we get motion sickness

Yeah, we level up

I'm gonna climb up the levels, go harder (here we go again)

Lights flash every time we go fast (here we go again)

I'll never lose the game, I'm gonna last

So let's start

Yeah we level up

Feeling like I just won the lotto

Pop a bottle and I make 'em say aahh like I'm your dentist

Keys to the suite, you can call me Alan Sugar

Yeah we're firing tonight, and I might need an apprentice

Reunion, old school and uni friends

It's your excuse to act like hooligans

Bend and break the rules again

Parties just getting started at 2 am

Waking up at noon next to « Who are you again? »

Looking in the mirror and I feel like I'm famous

I got that glimmer in my eye like I ain't afraid of dangers

Today could be the day that everything changes

I'm trying to move up to the hills where idols become neighbors

One moment, your whole world rearranges

You're feeling like you graduated Oxford or Cambridge

Forever roll the dice and have it looking like Vegas

You win some you lose some, but only winners take risks

I start getting calls, I've been waiting on for ages

Phone starts popping and I'm gossiping with strangers

I'm out getting wasted

All of these flashing lights popping up in places

Always forgetting names, especially with ladies

Uh huh, what's your name again?

My house, lights out

Wake up in the Tee saying « Touch me I'm famous »

(Yeah we level up)

Hey stranger, where you been?

Long time no see

(Time to level up)

I'm in the game, play to win

Another round on me

Yeah we level up

I'm gonna climb up the levels, go harder

Lights flash every time we go fast

I'll never lose the game, I'm gonna last

So let's start

Yeah we level up

I liked this fun look at a fun film.

So very badass!!!

EXCELLENT! I love your lyric ties, and the clever, smirking attitude of the whole thing. Just perfect.

YESSSSSSSS. LOOK AT HER WINNING AND BEING BADASS. :-D This is awesome!

Badass spydom yessss. :)

Hell yeah!

Eee, so awesome! \o/

What great fun! Lady spies for the win!

Awesome!!

I generally dislike most rap/hip-hop and at first I was disappointed to hear the song selection for this vid -- I much prefer trip-hop ala Portishead, Tricky, Massive Attack, Groove Armada, 90s Fatboy Slim, etc. -- but the British accent helps, lol. And the lyrics are so well matched to the edits! this vid so perfectly captures the most important plot points and the cracked out humor of the original film -- as well as her general BADASSERY -- that I was completely charmed. I also LOLed several times! Great job and great timing on the edits!
