| I’m from a place were the streets are filled with snakes that smile in your
|
| face as they plot to do wrong.
|
| (Where you from?)
|
| I’m from a town where the mans will take you down if they see you making pounds
|
| and flashing it around like you the don
|
| ('Cause where I’m from?)
|
| They don’t give a fuck if you got talent, only got love for your bank balance
|
| like, «Give me the wong!»
|
| (That's where I’m from)
|
| Don’t ever get it twisted. |
| Yeah I’m really, really from the ends now what the
|
| fuck you want?
|
| I’m walking down the street, past the coppers on the beat
|
| Past the shotters blotting weed
|
| Clear for everyone to see, but no-one gives a D,
|
| 'Cause this is everyday life.
|
| Fuck the police
|
| It’s a ghetto state of mind,
|
| 'Cept where I’m living I can’t see no ghetto, this ain’t America, it’s England,
|
| where we live ain’t nothing special.
|
| You can take anywhere and call it a ghetto,
|
| Same way you make cyanide, same way you make amaretto.
|
| Hip-hop's in the street, now were all busting *ecko;
|
| 50 Cent’s on MTV, now it’s cool to carry metal
|
| Objects,
|
| Now the object is to kill.
|
| How can you value life when you’re so close to death? |
| Stainless steel,
|
| How’s it make you feel,
|
| Blud, holding that buckey?
|
| Knowledge is power, guns just make you feel lucky.
|
| It’s fuckry the way these yout' man like to go on, busting shots in the crowd
|
| when there’s a show on, they’re just putting a show on.
|
| Real gangsters stay underground like non-fiction, they don’t fire blanks at
|
| Yanks like when Nas played at Brixton.
|
| Thrill seeking dickheads just doing it for kicks and
|
| Hear a next man speak their name from his lips and
|
| Give a guy props for licking shots from a gun like if they fired one at him the
|
| fucking prick wouldn’t run. |
| It’s like they’re
|
| Praising these yout’s for acting so dumb and it’s no excuse,
|
| Most of us are fatherless sons.
|
| (Where you from?)
|
| I’m from a place were the streets are filled with snakes that smile in your
|
| face as they plot to do wrong.
|

|
| (That's where I’m from)
|
| Don’t ever get it twisted. |
| Yeah I’m really, really from the ends now what the
|
| fuck you want?
|
| Yo, where you from?
|
| Are you really from the ends? |
| Well that depends on what the fuck you mean by
|
| ends, if you south of the Thames, then nah, I ain’t from them ends.
|
| I’m from these ends, they call it the Eastend, my friend,
|
| And round here you gotta watch your back 'cause everyone’s bent,
|
| Bare man who think they’re rough just 'cause they’re shotting the peng,
|
| Hating on Plan B 'cause they don’t know me as Ben.
|
| Yout’s as young as ten walking round thinking they’re men.
|
| They’re under the influence, and I ain’t even talking 'bout drugs,
|
| I’m talking bout why the fuck they’re walking like thugs.
|
| They’re in love with the idea of being a gangster, romantic idealisms producing
|
| hot jism like a wanker.
|
| What ever happened to good old fashioned street fighting like Blanka?
|
| Queensbury Rules, mate, that’s how I vent anger,
|
| Vent my anger,
|
| Knock out your teeth if you bring me beef,
|
| Leave you looking like a chief.
|
| Where you from blud, where you from?
|
| What’s your name?
|
| (Where you from?)
|
| Plan B? |
| Yeah I’ve heard of you, still.
|
| Yeah yeah, you’re fucked up, you’re fucked up.
|
| ('Cause where I’m from?)
|
| Yeah, yeah, that’s cool though.
|
| (Thats' where I’m from)
|
| Give me your phone, anyway.
|
| Give me your phone,
|
| I don’t give a shit,
|
| Give me your phone, blud.
|
| Don’t make me jibb you up.
|
| You see this blade and I’ll cut your throat |
