The Rise and Fall of the Gang

I don't want to feel this way but I can't help it if I don't get paid And the lack of food is making me feel strange I ain't got no money but a fist full of change So I put six shots in change and head out the door No one's gonna force me to feel this poor I'm in the shadows of notting hill I got mouths to feed and bills I'm feeling deranged something's gotta be changed It's either you son, or it's me I'm sorry that this is how it's gotta be I know it's yours and I know it's flash But this is the only way I get cash It ain't nice and it ain't fun Just make it easy and it'll be done Now I got the cash I stopped feeling bad This is the most amount of money I've ever had I need more I can't stop So I start thinking about rolling on a whole damn shop We get the car we get the gang And we head all the way out to Buckingham We walk inside and raise the barrel Hand it over boss I say with a smile I'm feeling deranged something's gone and been changed The old bill's here I'm racked with fear now i'm 18 looking at 20 years Now I'm out on the street and I'm doing the dash And I didn't even manage to get any cash I'm thinking about my mum and what she'll say All I wanted was to get some pay I wanted a watch but I got some bracelets My whole damn life is fucking wasted But what choice did I ever have There was no way I was gonna be an art school grad Never had a choice but I took it wrong I know deep down I shouldn't have gone But I was hungry and I was young I had no education but a loaded gun I'm feeling deranged my whole life is strange It'll never be the same again My whole life down the fucking drain
