Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I swear it was like around the times when things were going well
And we had to pack guns and then Asher went jail, and then a
Couple months down the line
Me and Morgz thinkin' 'bout my **** doin' mad time in he's mum's
Then I hugged her, I dunno how it came around like this
Then she looked and said, "Look after the album, Swiss
And make sure that you learn something out of this"
And the thought of it makes me wanna (Cry)
[Verse 2]
That's her only son
Take away a boy from his mother, that's a lonely mum
Protect yourself with a loaded gun
Just one of the rules, and Asher weren't the only one, so
For the fact that it's nothing fun
When a ****'s tryna put six in your gut and run
I don't wanna be another bum
There's a million other **** like me in another slum
[Verse 3]
But look at what the summer done
Couple shoot-outs, **** dead over something dumb
And light-skin Simon from Surrey Lane
Fell down the track, body got severed by the train
Come on, dawg, I ain't forgettin' Wayne
Died '97, but I still see him in my brain
All the pain and the memories, **** in cemeteries
We lost pride, though I pour a little Hennessy, man
And we bring back them if we can
I shed tears from my eyes with the pen in my hand
I'm just tryna stay alive, can't tell if I can
And these **** wanna put a shell in my man
Damn
[Verse 4]
Yeah, sometimes I just wanna cry
I don't wanna live, yeah, sometimes I just wanna die
Well, what am I? Can't act like i'm not alive
Got a whole family to look after
So I got to try and not
Even though granny's in her last years
Gotta stay strong, fuck, hanging at the glass stairs
Times movin' fast, I don't wanna be the last here
Hangin' round my house, sittin' in the armchair like
[Verse 5]
Like does the lord half care?
They're just eatin' bread while everybody starves there
Look what happened to the motherland
They don't wanna see blacks the same as another man
And just 'cause our skin's different colour and
I don't change colour but they call me a coloured man
There's only so much you can take in
When your head's nappy with the shade of a slave's skin
The ghetto spent most of my days in
I ain't in prison, but I fee like I'm caged in
[Verse 6]
And I don't even need a chorus
This the type of number that I dedicate to Stephen Lawrence
And it's gutter down here
Everybody's broke, we just need money down here, yeah
No, we don't wanna work for them
'Cause we wouldn't be broke here if it weren't for them
No, yeah, there's a lot of work to begin here
But first I gotta start most of my work within Pierre, yeah
[Verse 7]
'Cause right now I'm an addict for weed
It's so deep, I don't even know what happened to me
I gave my life to the streets for the masses to see
My family didn't like it when I hang around with G
My brother went jail, I was tryna bang out a key
Ran out of weed, and even fall flat on my knees
Got off my face and fell right back on my knees
One of my friends offered crack to me, could you believe?
That could've been my downfall, but I didn't agree
If I could get most of these people just to listen to me
Don't let the streets get the best of you, take it from P
They don't want us makin' money
So the odds of us gettin' out the ghettos
Like none of are free
Release me from these mental chains now, I just wanna be free
[Verse 8]
I just (Cry) inside every time that I hear
Another's died, I just act like I don't even care, for real
'Cause I don't wanna kill my own
But if **** come for me, I ain't tryna be alone, blow
Whatever will happens, it gets done
And it's gonna take more than the mothers against guns
'Cause last year they said they was gonna direct funds
When it comes down to it, the government gets thumb on us
They were supposed to give a few mil' last time
I heard something, they ain't done it yet still
They should put a ban on every gun that's real
They're lookin' for murderers and they're the ones that kill
[Verse 9]
Who gave theses clowns the authority to teach and knowledge me?
I don't care about his philosophy
All these fake fantasies just suffer me
I don't want this on my conscience, please get off of me
'Cause they don't want me to know where I'm comin' from
If they did then I would know where I'm goin' down
I need some real answers, they ain't showin' one
Why do you think my heart's so cold and I'm goin' numb?
[Verse 10]
'Cause we don't care no more, it's past hurt
I don't wanna shed tears no more
Ready to die for the cause, I don't fear no war
This is how I'm livin' till I ain't here no more
That's the way I'm gonna die, I don't fear no law
When they tell me lies, I don't wanna hear no more
I'm ready to stand up, I don't stare no more
Till everything that I'm against isn't here no more
So real
