For the corner boys on the side streets, all in one tracksuit stand up

For the females working that twilight shift, please stand up

Fatigued and overran, but relentless

They gave us Brexit and the Apprentice

Fishbowl living, Truman show

Blue-eyed monster, Aryan flow

Something's bubbling, bubbling

All for the green, like colours of Dublin

Nothing to kill the monotony, it's nothing to blame a minority

The same every year, they blame it on fear, but we don't respect your authority

I know I'm too young to be fucked, but I'm feeling too old to be fussed

In the land of the villains, they're making a killing. so tell me who do we trust?

On the brink of recession, heads up to the classless masses

Political farces, hiding behind some Photoshopped arses

And we talk about likes, click bait just dangling

I kinda feel like I'm strangling

Lace up, suit up, my armour and I -

Get ready for action, I get ready for action

If you tell me it's on, I'm fighting the power with passion

Rooftop living I'm a savage talker

Hard lines like an ounce of proper

Trouble with a female stalker

And she keeps on coming to the venue

Doctor - how the fuck did this happen?

All the boys in the band they be laughing

I'm dealing with the spotlight

Got me lying awake, up on a long night

I don't know what you take me for

Can't a young man make money anymore?

Don't cry for my sins or myself

I should be happy in health

I do not sit at the table with manners applied

I am not one of those guys

I am the elephant without disguise

I am the truth in a room full of lies

And the room is alive, they should proceed with some caution

March on the king and his horsemen, 'cause that failure is never an option: we

Get ready for action, get ready for action

If you tell me it's on, I'm fighting the power with passion

False hope, like fools gold, you heard it through the grapevine

Like 5 people I trust though, and none of them on my timeline

That's real life, no fake news, I say this rhyme with reason

As long as I stay breathing, I'll make heat in the coldest season

Give me that energy when I climb, these bars I design are gold

My story's yet to be told, this music can't be controlled

Nobody here claimed it was easy, not much round here to believe in

We make heat in the coldest season, even though Scotland's fuckin' freezing

I'm cool with all of the gods, as long as nobody gets hurt

Taught to believe in myself, and trust I put that in work

Travelling back to my city I feel it gets better each time

And I've been away for a minute but Glasgow always in mind

Always in my mind, my symbol, my doorstep was my window

Since I was popping pimples, it made this plain and simple

We, get ready for action, get ready for action

If you tell me it's on, I'm fighting the power with passion
