Denise Chaila is back. This year alone the Limerick rapper and artist has won the Choice Music Prize, releasing the Narolane single ‘Water’ with God Knows and MuRLi, and collaborating with Clannad, interviewed Miggeldy and was featured in the Leaving Cert.
With her Narolane crew on board, new song ‘061’ shouts out the Limerick area code to a medieval-style beat and low end with lines like “find it hilarious that I have barely begun my career / Already gave them the fear of God.”
History made
your children’s children’s children will learn about me
I don’t even post, And I’m all on your socials, paper and your TV
I’m here to stay, if you hate it you should write to your local MP
Cause your local MC Writes constitutions in WAVS and MP3s
Banger. The video by Stephen Hall leans into the fantasy vibe, with cameos from Limerick peers.
061 Lyrics
Narolane
You came here to the 061, so we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
Came to the 061, we’ll show you how to have,
How to have some fun
You came to the 061, came to the 06, 061
You came to the 061
We’ll show you how to get, how to get things done
You came to the 061
We’ll show you how to get, how to get things done
You came to the 061
We’ll show you how to have, how to have some fun
Came to the 061
You came to the 06, 061, you came to the 061
We’ll show you how to get, how to get things done
I am not a queen I’m a Prince
Make a scene and dip for months I don’t leave any prints
I am not a queen I’m a king
No picket fence, but I’ll picket if you keep me out the ring
I am not chasing a ring
Wasn’t be groomed for a groom, there’s no man I live to impress
I am not explaining myself
Keep it bespoke before I ever say yes to a dress
5’2 but somehow still the bigger man
Cut to the chase don’t need a middleman
Dream my heart out pepper Ann pepper Ann
I do this because I can
I’m not paying any attention to the fakeness
I’m not giving any advice that I’m not taking
I’m not wasting anymore time I’m staying patient
Bringing all my energy back to keep it sacred
Sometimes to heal a bone you’ve gotta break it
I am the result of love for generations
Dream you back to life, call it a grave shift
Trying to keep it understated
Say perchance you misunderstand
Who the heck that I think I am?
You shoulda called me the gyaldem sugar
Up jump the boogie and I cool with my gang
You came here to the 061, so we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
Came to the 061, we’ll show you how to have,
How to have some fun
You came to the 061, came to the 06, 061
You came to the 061, we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
You came to the 061, we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
You’ll get to the 061, we’ll show you how to have,
How to have some fun
You came to the 061, you came to the 06, 061
You came to the 061, we’ll show you how to get,
How to get
History made, your children’s children’s children will learn about me
I don’t even post
And I’m all on your socials, paper and your tv
I’m here to stay, if you hate it you should write to your local MP
Cause your local MC
Writes constitutions in WAVS and MP3s
You should call me “daddy” at this point
I could diss you and make it a ted talk
Get a book deal for bars that I wrote in the notes on my phone
Make it look like a walk
In the park
Gladys Knight and I light up the dark
Noah fence but this is the arc of the covenant
Coveted
This is the future beloved
Call me Éire and weed all the Aryans out of your area
Clearing the air for you
They say it’s humerus, I got a uterus, call it hysteria
Find it hilarious that I have barely begun my career
Already gave them the fear of God,
Odd
I just said that I wanted to bar
What you afraid that I’ll say with the time that I’ve got?
You’re Dom, but you can’t control yourself?
You’re a Don, but you don’t know yourself?
You’re a boss but you can’t share the wealth?
With all due disrespect
I know that I’m fine and got bars
I know I got brain and got heart
That part
I know I don’t have to try hard:
You came here to the 061, so we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
Came to the 061, we’ll show you how to have,
How to have some fun
You came to the 061, came to the 06, 061
You came to the 061, we’ll show you how to get,
How to get things done
061
061
How to have, how to have some fun
061
061
How to get, how to get things
