Lyrics

Stepped in this year, check the greys

In my beard and respect me, a veteran

Came in with a manny accent when everybody was obsessed with Americans

And we left them a legacy of broken

English without having any reference

Killing it dead, we'll be coming off stage to a room full of skeletons

This is all in your ancestry, Manchester in your genealogy

No emission, no smoke, no carbon, I'm telling

You the very definition of a green economy

When there wasn't any options around

Other than getting about anonymous

Growing up in a place where they're saying

To your face that they don't like foreigners

But you can't say we aren't thriving, you

Couldn't ever say we didn't start movements

Man are throwing money in the fruit machine

But you couldn't ever set man for amusement

Snoozing, we ain't ever dozing at all 'cause

We know that sleep is the cousin of death

That's why I'm wide awake in the middle of the night

'Til I make it to the top, no, I never can rest

Been around from the time that the

Middle of the town got pedestrianised

Bully in shape cah running from the feds was exercise

Fully focused on a low budget so I gotta make the most of studio time

Meanwhile, my brother got lost in the

System, we missed him between '02 and '05

I was tryna find some direction before Trinity Estate got regenerated

Now these outsiders are coming in and looking at me like a native

Them lot are giving us the blame, they say we'll never be exonerated

I can never understand anything they're saying cah I ain't translating

I'ma stay proud of my background, I gotta be proud of my heritage

Royalty in my lineage, I'ma need a crown for all of my relatives

My city got hit with the biggest bomb seen since World War II

Man are looting on the regs out here

Better get whatever you can, fill your boots

Yo, we're raising the dead, better pour your drink and bill your zoots

And you're gonna need only the intelligence to instill in your youths

We've been killing them all, how many

Dead bodies can you fit in your boot?

I tell 'em go with God, we stay back on the youth like Brazilians do

History deep cah my grandad came from Saint Ann Parish

They can think what they want but they

Couldn't ever try say man's savage

Got a lot of concepts and they're finding it hard to conceptualise

And nobody's ever gonna step to the side, it's a question of pride

Dead up inside, I ain't always feeling especially alive

Treating myself cah all of my medicine's self-prescribed

Cancel the chorus, their attention span's gonna get tested

Spill my guts on the tune, it's the

Truth so it's gonna get very expressive
