Politicksis

[Chorus]

Ey, check it out

I think I have to go now

'Cause nothing's gunna change right

I'm dying in my home town

It's been this way my whole life

I think I have to go now

'Cause nothing's gunna change right

I'm dying in my home town

It's been this way my whole life

[Verse 1 - Kojaque]

I came from the land where everything from the common cold

Straight to cancer can be treated with a flat 7-Up as the answer

Wooden spoon clasped in the hands of the master

The mother and the priest not the pastor

Not that it matters they been all put out the pasture

The good and the bad and the bastards

Couldn'ta come faster, good riddance

Hope the red man gives you hell. How'd you out do his bidding's?

But God saved his children no kiddin' (No kiddin')

Shout out to the rapists and the rulers and the racists

You can catch a size eight to the face

Nine lives hope your tents curb stomped

Elevens choked throat deep on a lace

Twelve teeth on my wrist like some new tooth bracelet

Misinformation's been rife in my city so we erect the murals

Let our paint the heart of the grit of your mouth

Still scream "Up Da Ra!" when we never set foot out the South

But I'd still smack the Queen in the mouth

'Cause I don't know what I want and I'm willin' to die to get it

That's the type of mentality that needs to be vetted

But the glamour just distracts from the message

Your all enjoyin' the picture I'm busy writin' the credits (Yeah)

[Chorus]

I think I have to go now

'Cause nothing's gunna change right

I'm dying in my home town

It's been this way my whole life

[Verse 2 - Kojaque]

'Cause I work nine-to-five, spend my wage in the bookies

'Cause if I can't afford a home, I'll just afford to be lucky

And if I can't afford to eat, I'll just afford to be hungry

Most weeks can't afford the cost it is to have money

Sip coddle 'til I'm waddlin' out the door at Christmas

Suspicious the cunts keep leadin' to evictions

With the same seats sittin' in the Dáil tryin' fix it

That's just Politiksis, let me talk to long

I'll have my name on a hit list (Yeah)

(Yeah, Luka, watchu sayin'?)

[Verse 3 - Luka Palm]

Same city, raised different

Used to run up your estate with the same way of thinkin'

Shit changed, with age came wisdom

Poppin' champagne out the back lane, drinkin'

Hop the last train, tickets, no need to pay

Screaming' ACAB when the piggy's chase

Drag of a Winston, straight pack, snake up in the grass

Made him listen, "Play it safe" is what I used to say

The shit that separate's us ain't distance, yeah

I'm from the place with the red face pigment

Where the blood bleed green, so the blood stain tinted

Creepin' in my ripped jeans, the young paint pictures

Bitch blushin' in the hoodie 'cause the rain don't give in

And the sun set, see us swallow pain with the seepin' Guinness

Pray for my sis, keep the faith but I'm watchin'

Fifty Shades when I fidget your bae's digits

Catch another size eight, might do you like J. Simpson (OJ)

Shout outs to the Dublin huns

Caked up, in the make up with the (baby bumps)

I give a fuck where you came from

In the cut with my days ones

Link up like a daisy chain

Blade one, fade, cup of Jameson (Yeah)

Public school pays, two youths, nicknamed "Scum"

Yeah it's funny how I ended up the same as 'em (Ey)

(Yeah it's funny how I ended up the same as 'em)

[Chorus]

I think I have to go now

'Cause nothing's gunna change right

I'm dying in my home town

It's been this way my whole life

I think I have to go now

'Cause nothing's gunna change right

I'm dying in my home town

It's been this way my whole life

(Woah, yeah) It's been this way my whole life

(Whole life) It's been this way my whole life

(Whole life) It's been this way my whole life

(Whole life) It's been this way my whole life
