Lyrics

Don't do it, don't do it baby oh no
Don't do it, don't do it baby oh no
Okay, okay, okay, listen, logical
Poverty driven, yeah
Listen, Nikle
Done it with this one fam, listen, yeah
This is the future bruv, this is new rap
The kinda stuff to make Stella get her groove back
The kinda stuff to make whiteness move back
True stories, nah fam true facts
Every other day I'm in the lab making new tracks
And I know myself, I don't need to prove jack
Just realness cuz, no loose chat
Yeah you might eat the boot, but I chew tracks
Hip-hop's in my heart, I get energy
I'm a rapper, not no celebrity
I put my thoughts on pages, let my letters speak
Stay positive, my aim is to better seeds
Show them a new aspect, a better scene
Set goals and achieve them, get a dream
Like Malcolm said, by any means
Listen, yeah, by any means necessary
The road type's getting scary
Little kids living carefree
Heads getting hot on road, it's bare beef
And for a little man to help an old man's a rare treat
And the music game is all funny
Controlled by people who don't even listen to rap
It's all money
And some youts think that rap means gully
Mac-10 in the waist and black skully
Listening to others thinking that's what you gotta do
Rap ain't all about guns and shotting food
Talk about you and your life, what you're going through
These are guidelines here fam, I'm showing you
Don't talk about a life you ain't living
Stay real to yourself and no fibbing
Look at life in your way and your vision, oi listen
Fuck the DJ's who don't play UK tracks
And fuck Americans who say that the UK's wack
And fuck anyone who don't support British acts
Fuck fakeness, I only deliver facts
Fuck labels who don't wanna sign us
Fuck the whole industry 'cause they ain't behind us
And fuck artists rapping 'cause of MySpace
Before MySpace, you knew my face
I hog the limelight, I got my mind right
But I should've done it differently in hindsight
I'm just sick of all the shit, all the hype hype
Put the reboard down and get a mic mic
'Nuff man's rapping nowadays to say it's hip-hop
When it's just urban music, street pop
Tell me what you know about cyphers and a beatbox
DJ's mixing and catching it as the beat drops
Make the beat stop
And drop back in
I'm a hustler, I've gotta get a lot back in
I want my mortgage, yeah you can rock that bling
It's just not my, thing
I'm a veteran, no one's better than
Anyone else, but they still won't let us in
'Cause our adrenaline, and all the melanin
Mixed up, it's like coke, brown stuff and ketamine
Explosive fam, it will blow
Patience, see I want a mil slow
Tracks like this and trust they will know
That I'm poverty driven, from the bottom of my soul
And music's in the left of my chest
I write daily, I'm light years ahead of the rest
And take time, is something that I suggest
Yeah, don't peak before you're at your best
And how many bars is this now, I lost count
This beat just makes me wanna get a lot out
No books, just bars on lockdown
And I'm so hot I can make the devil bounce
And make raindrops, we ain't the same but we smoke from the same crop
And we all want food from the same pot
And we all want a shot from the same block
And I know man's still in the same spot
Since kids on the road everyday plot
Used to chase P's, now they only chase rocks
Nevertheless, we all still hate cops
Listen, it's like fuck the 5-0, fuck the 5-0
Read the Qur'an and, read the bible
Open up your eyes and remove your blindfold
I learnt just to love my life and that's vital
Life's getting critical
New world order, in the literal
Subliminal messages on the TVisual
And most man I hear, are okay
But it's all typical, be original, be creative
It don't really matter if you make it
Energy's a precious thing, so save it
Everyone ain't meant to rap, embrace this fact and now
Logical, I ain't backing down
Until the whole world's listened to our sound
Until the whole world's listened to our sound
Until the whole world's listened to our sound
