| Still here, still grinding
|
| Hustling and striving
|
| In these dark times, these dark
|
| Minds I’m a diamond
|
| Big Ben is still chiming
|
| They don’t wanna see us smiling
|
| They wanna keep us grimey
|
| But my politics still lively
|
| Still here amongst the sirens
|
| Thunder claps and violence down
|
| Dust in lane I’m scribing
|
| No visits from your Highness
|
| Still here my dear despite
|
| The prophecies of seers
|
| Smashed to pieces on the pier
|
| Put myself back like IKEA
|
| Still here amongst the brass
|
| Garments washed in starch
|
| London wind is biting harsh
|
| Shiver my thin moustache
|
| I’m crude but not into crass
|
| Willing and able and up to the task
|
| They go low we go high it’s a fact
|
| They go low we go high like tax
|
| Still here and cool
|
| Still here like Queen Kasoon
|
| J life leaves and ooh
|
| Old school, like tomatoes too, ooh
|
| Stood on the shoulders of greats
|
| In my hands my own faith
|
| Make my enemies eat the cake
|
| Cry me a river, cry me a lake
|
| Still here God willing
|
| Old rebels still revelling
|
| Calm inside the kettling
|
| Calm though times unsettling
|
| Too dark a mind to settle it
|
| Don’t want the beef that I’m serving
|
| Feline amongst these vermin
|
| Black and proud and determined
|
| Jump in the war left in this ditch
|
| Ate with a priest drive with a witch
|
| Man’s a 9th degree
|
| Heartbreak wherever my flag is pitched
|
| Cutting my hunger for fine things
|
| Learning the lesson that time brings
|
| Acquired this taste for London Pride
|
| Spread my wings in these noxious skies
|
| In these streets, these streets where foxes hide
|
| I’m not yet old and I’m so wise
|
| I take this strife in my stride
|
| I must admit, it’s tough at times
|
| But most don’t like it, I dive in
|
| This never never never never
|
| Ending pressure piling on
|
| I’m still here still unruly
|
| All sound and all fury
|
| All frown and all fury
|
| All gas and all fury
|
| No peers, no jury
|
| Burn UKIP, fuck the Tories
|
| Fuck the fascists, end of story
|
| Fuck 'em all, fuck 'em truly
|
| Call me a roach, 'cause I’m resilient
|
| I’m born strong, the son of an immigrant
|
| Struggling element
|
| And I’ll be here
|
| I’ll be here when your cities are sediment
|
| And only your borders and fences are left
|
| I’ll be here when your banks stop selling debt
|
| And all your leaders stop selling death
|
| And you’ve lost all relevance
|
| In the corner with your pen and paper
|
| Scribing your last will and testament
|
| I’m still here
|
| I’m still here
|
| I’m still here
|
| I’m still here
|
| Man still here
|
| I’m still here
|
| I’m still here
|
| Done now |
