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”.

Lyrics:
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
There's those that don't know
Those that don't know that they don't know
From the north to the south, from the east and west
London town is busy at best
With the kicks to the chest and the dips and the crests
(Fall asleep)
Fall asleep past your stop, creeping
Past 11 o'clock in the morning, no dawn's ever boring
Sometimes I lie in the bath 'til it's cold
Nothing but a laugh to the front in the back of my soul
I wanna live forever, give my best guess
'Cause that's the best you'll get is a guess, but no less
Smoke in the chest, hold it in, 'til it's in your skin
Inhale this hardly smoke, that's a hardy toke
Flip flops and your shorts or the big dogs on the porch
'Til the night on the scorch, I light like a torch
(Two stoned)
Hunky dory all evening, at a 140 bpm
'Til it's done sort of in the A.M. or you've done talking or it's mayhem
At the cornucopia, doped up, the local shops a mere toe-tap
Vocal in focus on the buying your papers and fire drill
And the brightest shades of milk, we look a mighty shady ilk
Memories of a long lost eon
Millions of stars out there, which one might you be on?
It's like Jupiter's moon in this room get the heat on
I need a stencil to follow my pencil, pensive and sensing
Smoke in your chest, hold it in 'til it's in your skin
Inhale this hardly smoke, that's a hardy toke
You know me, I always detest the dawn
The grass always looks like it was left on the lawn
You talk around events and from side of your sight
The Benson burns, it reflects in your eyes
