|
| My generation talk of money and ice
|
| They want it all, but they don’t wanna learn, read, study or write
|
| It’s like, see rappers flossin', I don’t care what they spend
|
| I’m goin’shoppin’for food and tryna pay rent
|
| Needin’bucks for them utility bills
|
| Cuz to get ya heat cost enough to give ya the chills
|
| I’m bringin’the real deal not a fantasy
|
| Still it has to be said that I’d rather be livin’happily
|
| ever after instead of disaster
|
| Half the youths don’t even know which bred is their father
|
| Boys becomin’men without the men around them
|
| And when men are around them they’re breakin’in someone’s housin'
|
| I came up out the cracks of the pavement, my life is real
|
| Despite that I ain’t the type to steal
|
| Thinks it’s very rare we write to kill
|
| And the mic is still the only weapon that I like to feel
|
| In my firm grip, learn this from other word smiths |
| Who roam the Earth before the Hell fire burnt it Earn it, even before Tottenham turned mean
|
| Toxteth, St Bulls, race riots in Burnley
|
| Everybody’s Crazy and somebody will get it I stress it, even if Nas already said it Cuz man are actin’like it ain’t happenin'
|
| But we always bring it to the surface, that’s the power of this rap thing

|
| Rappers like me don’t always break through
|
| Cuz we dedicate tunes to somethin’you can relate to I don’t know no one wearin’platinum fronts
|
| Rollin’through the hood on twenty inch rims, ain’t happen once
|
| But I know about ridin’the trains, takin’the bus
|
| Plus I know about hidin’the pain, makin’a fuss
|
| Packin’my shit and havin’to move
|
| Like when my mum started crackin’the whip, I started rappin’for food
|
| Then I learned to make cash in more ways than one
|
| Without crime or government time payin’me none
|
| Don’t watch me, I’m relentless |
| If I’m rappin’Sundays, Mondays I’ll fund raise for young offenders
|
| All my life my eyes been on the grime
|
| Like a target that people wanna sweep under the carpet
|
| The so called rotten eggs, bad apples of the bunch
|
| But that’s why our music pack a little punch cuz

|
| Got educated so I bring down the system and over stand it So if there’s a twisted bigger picture I know who planned it My peers cuss me, sayin, «jeez don’t study»
|
| Call me sell-out cause I’m tryna be somebody
|
| Sayin', «look if you a rapper you can’t chat that shit», what?
|
| «That Martin, Malcolm, Mohammed, flat shit», shut up man
|
| «You need to keep it real, keep it gangster like me», why?
|
| «What's the matter Doc, too much time with wifey?»
|
| Nah listen up, save all that talk for someone who give a fuck
|
| I got avenues, big plans man different stuff
|
| As for you, when all of your rappin’shit dry up You’ll be in the greasy spoon cookin’my fry up |
| I’ll tell you somethin’straight from the heart
|
| Don’t let a man try and make you think that you should feel ashamed of bein’smart
|
| How are we gonna be embarrassed of that
|
| Just because I read a few books doesn’t make me and aristocrat
|
| I’m listenin’out for classical rap
|
| Gettin’opinions on what it’s like to try and be a man if you’re black
|
| I feel like every album’s lackin’a track
|
| Positive, peace, purpose, progress, what happened to that? |
