Lyrics

Street Politics

[Verse 1: Ghetts]

I was on the block, fam, where the drillers hang

I see a tinted car pass and I see it spinning back

Somebody wound down the window and pulled the trigger (Ayy, why you runnin'? Come here)

I'm sick of that, I'm innocent

My man a militant, they didn't care (How'd you get?)

I swear a bullet missed my ear (Fuck)

Look what you man have got me in, this isn't fair

I was just coming home from college and I nearly got boarded

The police think I'm a banger just because I'm living here

Asked mum if we could move but she ain't got a thing to spare

Well maybе this is the year I disappear

If I'm rеally being honest, I'm not built for this forest

I had a close friend, now he's from the other side

I ain't seen the same friend from his brother died

And I be lyin' if I said I wonder why

Eye for an eye until every one of us are blind

[Chorus: Tiggs Da Author]

These dreams don't belong to you

They gon' come for you

Every wrong you do

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's hard tryna carry on

So you carry one

All this pain, nah, nah

[Verse 2: Ghetts]

Last night was a close call, I'm happy I'm alive

But if I leave my house again, I'm carrying a knife

And I don't wanna use it, I'd probably never use it

But I'd rather carry that than have my people carry I

Now I'm in the cinema with my baby, it's Valentine's

And I'm watching everything except the film and girl beside

Some brothers just walked in, loud and amplified

And the same thing I felt the other night was magnified

Ugh, these man are buggin', but there's somethin' in these Calvin Klein's for parasites

If I'm hottin' up in front of her, what kind of man am I?

I may never make it back from that type of damaged pride

Somebody called my girl a sweet one, then I reached my decision

Told my girl, "Go to the car and put the key in the ignition"

I just said, "I need the bathroom," or else she would've argued

As soon as she walked off (Who the fuck you tryna talk to?)

February 14th, still I march true

Last laugh, I'm the ha in the harpoon

Something sharp, they'll ask, "Is it a scar of a half moon?"

Film done, cinema closed, but I'm his last

Here's my long-lost friend, as he comes to my defense

I welcomed him with opened arms, then he plugged me in my chest

And then I got him in his stomach, yeah, brothers 'til the end

He dropped, I dropped, but one of us got up again, yeah

I staggered out the doors, blood pouring out my torso

Left the carpet red, you would've thought it's an award show

Right now I'm half dead, where's my girl before my thoughts go?

Also, I just left two man, Morse code

Babes, I'll explain when I'm minus the pain

But please, stop screaming and drive me away

I'm meant to be at home already, twenty-five minutes late

Now you got me throwin' this machete deep inside of a lake

Cool, take me hospital, not the one in Newham though

Take me Whitechapel then, fuck it, you can go

Heartbeat slowin' down, breath's gettin' shorter

I need a respirator, an extra supporter

I ain't gonna make it, was he really worth it?

I ain't even seen her naked, was she really perfect?

I was just full of hatred, I wasn't even nervous

I shanked my brother Nathan, I ain't that kind of person

What the fuck have I?

His mum's like mine

I threw away my life

All because of pride

Even if I survive thirty-five

[Chorus: Tiggs Da Author]

These dreams don't belong to you

They gon' come for you

Every wrong you do
