Seashells in the East |
| Good heart, bad breed |
| Living in the ill manor but we’re no Plan B |
| Mummy got Christ, Daddy got a vice, not surprised |
| He ain’t tryna follow no pipe dreams |
| Nature or nurture is destiny, real |
| If this estate had lakes and green fields |
| And he went Eton and Oxford too |
| Would monkey see, monkey do like you? |
| Fine line between obstacles and excuses |
| But a thick skin will still bump and bruise |
| And when you need them blue kickers and new creps |
| Special brew, won’t get you dressed for school |
| You won’t find seashells in East End |
| But you might see shells in East End |
| There ain’t no pier or no rock here |
| But most of your peers will sell rocks here |
| Survival instinct’s a must |
| You hug that road, but road don’t show love |
| Leave that place before you get stuck |
| Can’t wait till your wake before you wake up |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (There's still a war going on inside of a defeater’s mind) |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (A man’s home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) |
| Winners and losers |
| (Yep, the manor’s a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) |
| Is it better? |
| (Out here to out here) |
| We came up in the same ends |
| Bought sweets with the same pence |
| Pot luck, or was I god-blessed? |
| If I couldn’t rap, would I be in the same mess? |
| Postcode, blame the postcode |
| But a strong mind’s like a vacation |
| The power of escapism |
| If you ain’t dreaming, then you ain’t living |
| Fork in the road, which way’d you wanna go? |
| Trust me, bruv, I know the ropes, gotta make a plan though |
| But you’re in too deep, gotta keep your fam afloat |
| And just cause we don’t speak, don’t mean I wanna see you go |
| And you can blame me, but that’s eating up a hole |
| Now your sister’s on the phone, me and Smithy had to go |
| To your hospital bed, with the tumour up in your nose |
| It was really touch and go while I was there |
| Where was the ends then? |
| You won’t find seashells in East End |
| But you might see shells in East End |
| There ain’t no pier or no rock here |
| But most of your peers will sell rocks here |
| Survival instinct’s a must |
| You hug that road, but road don’t show love |
| Leave that place before you get stuck |
| Can’t wait till your wake before you wake up |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (There's still a war going on inside of a defeater’s mind) |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (A man’s home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) |
| Winners and losers |
| (Yep, the manor’s a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) |
| Is it better? |
| (Out here to out here) |
| The manor |
| Invisible walls that never fall |
| Learn to climb before you crawl |
| Don’t get stuck here |
| Man-made or mind-made? |
| Don’t be a statistic, blaming ghetto physics for holding you back |
| Eternal strength versus external influences |
| Victim or victor? |
| The manor |
| Concreted souls |
| Cheap industry folk |
| We share the same roads but not the same code |
| Low self-esteemers, Mercs and Beemers |
| Small winners |
| It-is-what-it-is-ers |
| But you deserve more |
| The manor |
| Throwing bricks at glass ceilings |
| Do or die |
| He who dreams with open eyes is alive |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (There's still a war going on inside of a defeater’s mind) |
| This place ain’t changed |
| (A man’s home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) |
| Winners and losers |
| (Yep, the manor’s a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) |
| Is it better? |
| (Out here to out here) |
