Lyrics
Police and thieves in the streets Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Late night roam the streets like a fox on the road Sixteen experimental little heroin and coke Room full of coke cans, syringes Posted over the hole where po-po kicked the door off the hinges Six kids all living in a flat No jobs, no dough, every dealer on his back Mum's on her own, drunk when she comes home Days on end sleeps out and don't phone Daddy don't exist, such a cliché these days So he looks up to the G's, thieves Whatever he makes, the G's take and call it a clean slate 'Til one day he said he had a job for him paid And said all you had to do is wait Outside one crib and told me when the bredda comes in And who the bredda's with And if the shit goes to plan you can earn a jib That's what I call quick dough But what he didn't know the G was a snitch And the breddas in the crib were selling guns and cutting bricks And he just phoned the G when the bredda rolled in And told him he's with about five man and one chick And next thing you know there's armed police at the crib Sirens so loud he's trying to read the feds' lips And what sounded like "Put your hands behind your head" Was actually "Don't fucking move and we won't have to shoot" Police and thieves in the streets Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Police and thieves in the streets Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Look, how many youths have got guns on 'em, bussing 'em Eyes in the back of their head, can't see in front of 'em 'Nough of them, it's time to fuck with them Yeah I've got ninety-nine problems and London's one of 'em Youths are lost lives from Stratford to Moss Side And all they care about if they've lost stripes And I ain't no preacher MC I'm feeling MCs but dig a little deeper like dynamite And I know I say some bullshit in moments of anger And it's not cool for the fan club Just the other day we was up late discussing Iraq Over a glass of champagne, how fucked is that? I ain't celebrating shit If I ain't using my status to make a change I ain't ever making hits A wise man told me, Kane listen If you wanna fly like an eagle you can't fly with pigeons An eagle I am for a reason I am where I am But how you supposed to make it out of East End when there's Police and thieves in the streets And it's easy to end up in a police van when they're Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Police and thieves in the streets Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Guns and ammunition Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition Police and thieves in the street Bang bang and it ain't nothing sweet Believe, peace
