Verse 1
Yo, This is the story of Joe and Jane/
me and her were like Superman and Lois Lane/
but she had a boyfriend at least I didn’t know his name/
‘coz if he found out me and her were fucking he would go insane/
she was an ice queen skin as pale as Novacane/
after 3 months I entered a world of pain/
I never thought she’d ever break my heart/
that’s why I turned savage like a great white shark/
I shouted in the class doubted that I’d pass/
she was one of the girls that loved the power of my wrath/
so I did her in the shower and the bath/
for an hour and a half came out smelling like a flower in a vase/
when I wasn’t with her I was vexed all the time/
every time I saw her I had sex on my mind/
when she wore that red thong it made me headstrong/
it felt so good even though it’s dead wrong/
to take a man’s women I tried to stop but I couldn’t/
her beautiful bosom made my dick look like it was wooden/
she had a sexy arse clothes see though like plexiglass/
but I forget the past that’s why I moved on extra fast/
and met her friend called Isabelle at the wishing well/
usually I ain’t the type of guy to kiss and tell/
but two years later she made my life a living hell/
‘coz she made me feel like I was trapped inside a prison cell/
Chorus
It’s all good that’s just the way it goes/
you took my pride but you’ll never take my soul/
X2
Verse 2
We always take it too far it’s just the way that we are/
thought I was in love but the girl was playing the part/
Jane’s a snake in the grass her body’s state of the art/
that’s why I should have known that she’d end up breaking my heart/
her boyfriend got lucky, seduced her with drug money/
then she left him ‘coz he was grumpy and but ugly/
two weeks later she became my fuck buddy/
little did I know she was cold like a Slush puppy/
I always fuck about I think its time for me to cut it out/
before I end up with a girl that’s up the spout/
the jealousy made me turn green like a brussels sprout/
she left me when I told her to shut her mouth at my mother’s house/
my heart was beating fast like a speed racer/
I’ve been crazy ‘bout her since I was a teenager/
even kept a picture of her on my PC screen saver/
‘til she cut me into pieces like a cheese grater/
this is raw and uncut Jane left me dumb struck/
when I first met her I was just a young buck/
now everything’s fucked up I was falling in love/
if she moves to me again then I’m calling her bluff/
I’ve had more than a enough she was one of a kind/
I brought her a sliver necklace that was costume designed/
she made me transform like Optimus Prime/
and I gave her quality time at the drop of a dime/

Verse 1
Baraka
Life was good but this is the dark age/
I used to go out drinking and flirt with the bar maids/
eat sweets and waste money at arcades/
now I’m fucked up ‘coz these are the last days/
I traveled through star gates to get to this dark place/
I’m crazy like Scarface taking class A’s/
increases my heart rate at a fast pace/
like a car chase and I’m always half baked/
frying my brain like a high voltage helps my mind focus/
I’m enraged ‘coz theres no way to escape from this psychosis/
I’ll smoke a pipe thats hand made the size of a lamp shade/
then go on a rampage and leave your body covered in bandaids/
don’t make me get medieval/
I’ll crush you with my hands ‘coz I don’t need a desert eagle/
if you’re holding a gun I’ll snap your opposable thumbs/
I’m a master mind and a psychopath all rolled into one/
me and Skilf spit the dopest poems/
if you fuck with me I’m leaving you with broken bones/
I’m making more doe than Corleone I smoke more cones than the rolling stones/
I’ll crush your frame I’ve always been over grown it’s in my chromosomes/
you moan and groan and bitch about me on your mobile phone/
which makes me feel like coming to your manor while your’e home alone/
snap your head up like a Toblerone/
to prove I hold my own so if you try to you’ll get overthrown/
oi, every day I write lyrics/
when I’m on the mic I’ll be making your spine pivot/
I’m nice with it give me a five minute time limit/
and I’ll be quick to burn you like matches and white spirit/
I’ll make you squash the beef like plasticine/
and I’ve got you nervous every time you stand in front of a cash machine/
you better just chill get me vexed I’ll be happy to break your nose and jaw/
what the fuck you waiting for? I’m ready whenever you wanna go to war/
wanna fight to the death get striked in the chest hit from the right to the left?/
and I don’t really care what you think of me I’ll always live my life on the edge/
you don’t really wanna fuck with the kids that come from Finsbury Park/
where the evil people are quick to take you down and leave your carcass in the dark/
Chorus
Downlow scratching
Verse 2
Skilf
I pack more heat than the equator fuck with me I'll see you later/
alligator, killer instinct is deep within my nature/
even if you had a tank I'd still defeat you with a razor/
and beat you with a sabre make you breathe like you're in labour/
I’ve got an obsolete philosophy/
never changing like the snobbery of aristocracy/
don't bother me, when I'm meditating in my sacred place/
I'll change the pace and raise the steaks you've made a grave mistake/
the devil on my shoulder, controlling me getting colder/
I hold a revolver ready to blow ‘ya to Macedonia/
I need a hit to take me out of this ego trip/
all you eager chicks just wanna eat my dick like Weetabix/
boost the beat a bit, let it peak and clip/
I'm ready to rip and I don't mean rest in peace cos I'm a fiend for it/
rap is my crack, and I'm glad to be back/
it's like I never left the game and I never will cos that's a fact/

Verse 1
I used to smoke up and listen to DJ Cold Cut/
now I’m twenty four years old and I still haven’t grown up/
I’ve got no luck like England when they play in the World Cup/
so what? I can blow smoke rings the size of donuts/
my life is ironic, I’ve become psychotic/
getting high on chronic makes me jump like hydraulics/
I’m fucked I need to get my head examined/
‘coz the weed’s destroyed my memories and it’s like they never happened/
back in the day I used to blaze on the tube/
now I’ve got police men try’na take all my food/
I don’t chuff ‘grettes I might smoke and save or a two’s/
I’ll always smoke weed thats why I’m dazed and confused/
I’m pissed off coz my town is a dead zone/
I’m the type to take you down by pounding your leg bones/
once I’ve done this I’m gonna pick up and get stoned/
head home and bop to Deftones on my head phones/
Chorus
My brain’s prehistoric I’m hooked on weed and chronic/
I’m constantly asking my people what are our minds achieving from it/
it’s uneconomic, I smoke until I need to vomit/
wasted all my evenings smoking weed and reading comics/
in my room playing Tekken and Soul Caliber/
or walking the city drunk while looking for beef like Noel Gallagher/
so if you’re smoking weed then put your hands up/
but in the end the shit will only leave you bankrupt/
Verse 2
There’s no debate I’ve never sold an eighth that’s over weight/
but the shit I smoke has always been above the going rate/
once you’re hooked smoking weed there’s no escape/
now I’ve gotta cultivate my plants so they can pro-create/
I be that bredder repping Haringey/
if I’ve got some doe I’ll pick up every Saturday/
I’m a drug addict strictly on some other shit/
I get money illegally the government can suck my dick/
there’s something taking over my brain like blood clots/
I’m always getting prang when I’m waiting at bus stops/
now corrupt cops are try’na take my mug shots/
so I never keep my draw inside the glove box/
it used to be all sweet like strawberry cakes/
now I’ve gotta quit this shit before its to late/
‘coz the police have got security tapes/
of me scoring an eighth outside the victoria stakes/
Chorus
Verse 3
I’m on a road to success but I’m close to my death/
I choke on each breath I feel it in my throat and my chest/
that’s the shit that makes me wanna smoke cigarettes/
to find a way to cope with stress and hope for the best/
smoke the whole stash till I’ve got no cash/
people cant reach me ‘coz I’m prang that my phones taped/
I’m the type to spend money that I don’t have/
smoke hash ‘til I’ve got no cash and fuck road gash/
I’ve started taking my habits to new extremes/
‘coz when I get angry I can turn savage like wolverine/
smoking zoots of green in front of a computer screen/
made my life a lucid dream and wasted money like a fruit machine/
but it’s a form of medication/
I need to fix up ‘coz I’m skinny like Kevin Bacon/
my album’s taken too long I’m sorry I kept you waiting/
but I wrote this for myself it ain’t a form of entertainment/
Chorus

Verse 1
If you want it I’ll be ready whenever to be the better mother fucker when I wile out/
ready to die so when I gotta then I’m bringing the pain and I can spot an enemy from a mile out/
whatever the weather I gotta get ‘em but I couldn’t give a damn the police on the streets always really wanna bust me/
even though where not doing a crime they wanna get up on my case ‘coz they know that it’s fuck’ry/
they don’t trust me always wanna cuss me now I’m pissed off ‘coz I’m fucking with a demon/
to hell with them because ‘coz they’re bringing me down they don’t wanna see me enjoying my freedom/
if you really wanna start on my people I’ll break your spinal chord/
now I’ve got a crew that are rapidly getting better but I’m try’na get em bigger than a dinosaur/
even my grime is raw what the fuck are you all rhyming for?/
I’ll be ready when you wanna go to war better stop or my fist’ll collide with your jaw/
nearly made a cartel till I got cold feet/
now I don’t fuck with people that hold heat/
but I roll deep from Peckham to Old street/
you could never win the battle ‘coz I’m a control freak/
Chorus
My brain is in a coma, I’m praying to Jehovah/
the weight is on my shoulders everyday I’m getting older/
time waits for no one blood thats why I’ve got no patience/
I’m try’na seize the moment even though my mind’s complacent/
Verse 2
I’m going crazy can’t even describe/
the way that these inner demons are scheming increasing the feeling inside/
fuck all you haters and perpetrators wanting me dead/
how the hell can I sleep with these feelings in my head/
now I wanna get a bit the money so I endeavour getting better in this rap town/
ready to blow at any minute I’m ahead of my game so any wack mother fucker better back down/
try to front you’ll get smacked in the middle of the jaw bone/
sick of the typical mother fuckers try’na get up on the track so if you want it then I’ll put ‘em in a war zone/
now I’m considering here am I really living in hell? I’m tryn’a get a bit of money but I’m living in vain/
if you wanna be ahead of the game I’m gonna riddle with your brain ‘til I’m bringing the pain/
gotta psychosis, can’t focus all the drugs that I take are explosive/
tried to cope with these large doses but its hopeless tryn’a get the cheddar when I smoke this/
Chorus
Verse 3
When I’m on a rhythm I be doing it incredibly/
I’m bringing the rhythm formidable upon the melody/
I’ve never been a killer but I’m willing to bet that I could wanna do it ‘coz I’m a little bit inconsiderate/
I’ve only got love for the people that roll with me/
‘coz some of these mother fuckers are evil like Walt Disney/
I feel like I’m running on a race track/
pissed off looking for a needle in a hay stack/
but I was born to make rap and I’m never laid back when I rap on the track/
I bring it to you like a panic attack/
and I can kill a mother fucker like I’m packing a gat/
I’m on a level I’m elegant like a pelican/
you better never try to endeavour to get a regiment/
I don’t give a fuck I’m a gorilla in the mist/
get ready for armageddon when I hit em with my fist/
now I better find a job or go on benefit/
all I really wanna do is kill ‘em for the hell of it/
you better get a grip you ain’t ready for the rhetoric/
kill ‘em with the rhythm then I’ll put ‘em in a derelict/
if you want it I’ll be ready whenever but you don’t really wanna battle you better be on a level/
endeavour to do it better but you will never be killing the melody when I’m doing it no one could be ahead of me/

Verse 1
I’ve been try’na quit for two years I’m still in a mess/
‘coz getting high on weed is my method of dealing with stress/
it’s a vicious cycle and there’s no way that I’m stopping/
but every time I smoke I knock another nail in my coffin/
and if I’m not getting high I’m frequently chain smoking/
for the nicotine I might as well be cutting my veins open/
my brains broken I’m crazy like Beethoven/
life’s full of stress and its killing my high/
it’s seemed to have gone by at the blink of an eye/
London is like a labyrinth fragments of my brain/
have been destroyed by drinking absinthe I love smoking weed/
all it takes is one drag and I become a scum bag/
life’s becoming more tragic I’m a draw addict/
and soon they’ll be nothing left in this planet thats organic/
so I wreak pure havoc try to cause panic/
my words seem hard for you all to swallow like horseradish/
I don’t wanna end up like one of these has-beens/
who used to rip up venues and rap with a tag team/
sometimes this place can seem like a bad dream/
full of skag fiends, drunk mother fuckers and drag queens/
when I walk across the street police can tell I’m lean/
you see it in my eyes and you can smell the green/
but try to take it from my belt you’ll need the stealth of a delta team/
but the filth ain’t ever gonna help my helter-skelter self esteem/
I’m try’na figure out why the hell you want me locked inside a cell/
you’ve been try’na kill me but I’m still alive and well/
I’m sick of my occupation all we do is buy and sell/
I do it for the money I don’t give a fuck about my clientele/
their actions are beyond all rhyme and reason/
when I serve them at the tills they always give me the silent treatment/
they must find it pleasing I’m sick of working for the richest men/
on the planet I used to be grateful but now I’m sick of them/
on Wednesdays I work for six till ten/
that’s why I haven’t heard Downlow mix and blend on Itch FM/
fuck the haters I’ma ride to the bitter end/
until I’ve got a name on both sides of the River Thames/
my attitude is slowly improving/
but when I think about the fact that I don’t know what I’m doing/
I start to clench my fist I’m Marks and Spencer’s bitch/
most of the clientele who shop here are pretentious pricks/
now I don’t believe I’ll ever make it overseas/
or quit smoking weed ‘coz it helps me go to sleep/
abusing the ganja gives me delusions of grandeur/
I’m usually a wanker but using it reduces my anger/
I’m so stressed out my head feels like it’s piping hot/
when I wake up in the morning I start to smoke from nine o’ clock/
but without it I’m like a bull in a china shop/
I tried to stop but every time I’m sober I get writers block/
Chorus
I love my friends and family but they’re never around/
I love getting high but it’s getting me down/
life’s full of stress I’ve got my head in the clouds/
I’ve pent up all this rage and now I’m letting it out/
x2
Verse 2
Is my soul heavenly bound or will it never be found?/
out here it’s worth less than seventy pounds/
chemical clowns circulate like a merry-go-round/
all across the town soon they’ll be sent to the burial ground/
it’s just a way of living but this shit can ruin lives/
some friends were sent to prison one committed suicide/
dropping acid and mind-sickening pills/
has reduced their brain capacity and listening skills/
I used to bop to Talib Kweli Chuck and Flava Flav/
that’s when I got into rap and then I started blazing J’s/
some people started cutting heads like razor blades/
others started selling drugs and never changed their ways/
I treat my album like some kind of grand design/
my obsession with perfection made the project drag behind/
I wish that I could turn back the hands of time/
‘coz when I was young I thought that smoking weed would help expand my mind/
it seems like I’ve become my very worst enemy/
will I make a difference in the 21st century?/
it’s now or never I get through life with luck and trial and error/
searching for a salary in the city of cloudy weather/
my rate of drug abusing is unusual/
it’s strange what they can do to you confusing when they’re new to you/
soon you’ll be unable to do the things you used to do/
but you can do what the fuck you like the only human that can choose is you/

Verse 2
Baraka
I offered my love but only gave you a small portion/
‘coz I knew that you were slightly mad and played-out like a Walkman/
now that were about to die I’ve realised what’s important/
so let’s embrace our passion and get high on the endorphins/
it seems like everything is coming to an end/
and I feel like I’m falling in love with you again/
when the war broke out I lost my friends and fam’ly/
and you’re the only one that can stop my life from ending badly/
it’s hard to believe but I can’t describe the way you make me feel/
there’s only a couple of hours left and I’m sinking like a navy seal/
lately I’ve been thinking about you every single day/
because I’m in love with the way you act and agree with everything you say/
I know that I’ve been a fool but I never meant to make you cry/
now I’m ready to leave this earth but it’s so hard to say good bye/
‘coz your love is sacred getting with a girl like you was a dream come true/
the world’s about to come to an end but I know that Our Lord’ll see us through/

Verse 1
I used to smoke a pipe and mix my beer with Coke and Sprite/
that’s when I got into rap and became a celebrity overnight/
ever since I can remember I wanted to rip up open ‘mics/
and ride a prototype motor bike that glows at night like solar lights/
I ain’t a socialite I ain’t got a social life/
and if you wanna fuck around with me then roll the dice/
as for you pigs that always patrol at night/
you cant prosecute me for nothing mother fucker I know my rights/
if the government kill me I’ll return as a poltergeist/
and leave Tony Blair on the floor with his legs and shoulders sliced/
I’ve already used this rhyme schemes so now I’ve told you twice/
I don’t hold a gun I don’t hold a knife/
but if you mother fuckers don’t stop try’na control my life/
you’d better hope that you can survive a shot to the dome like Obie Trice/
your’e as cold as ice you keep the oil over-priced/
while there’s people across the world that can’t afford a bowl of rice/
Chorus
(This is England) a country that used to rule the planet/
America took over with logo computer gadgets/
(This is England) I’m always surrounded by human traffic/
rumour has it all the adverts do havoc like voodoo magic/
(This is England) the land of cold weather/
in order to get by you need to be a go-getter/
(This is England, England)The United Kingdom/
a country that’s facing the brink of extinction/
Verse 2
London’s been trashed up by university students/
and soon the pollution’ll turn every human into a mutant/
I hate living in Great Britain/
now I need to escape ‘coz this place is like state prison/
but it’s a wild goose chase, that’s why I’ve got a screw face/
that’s why my breath smells like I’ve never brushed with toothpaste/
now I’m feeling tied up like a shoe lace/
all I need is Cubase fuck an office and a suit case/
police are tryn’a find out where I’m living/
it’s like they don’t give a fuck about the war on terrorism/
I don’t believe the bullshit I see on the television/
men and women are jealous turning green like penicillin/
I bless the rhythm fuck a second opinion/
check my Baraka Mix-Tape Volume zero special edition/
doing crime’ll either leave you dead or in prison/
‘coz the police’ll strike you harder than a head-on collision/
just because America got rid of George Bush/
doesn’t mean that everything’s gonna be all good/
democracy will never help our community/
the only people that’ll make it change are you and me/
my life been like a roller coaster now it’s almost over/
I’m getting wise and growing older like La Coka Nostra/
I show composure ‘coz the worlds controlled by Coca-Cola/
when I own a motor I’ll go on the road to Oklahoma/
Chorus
Verse 3
To much power can drive a man mad/
thats why George Bush was dropping bombs on Bagdad/
killing a thousand people with a single air strike/
just to kill Saddam Hussain do you call that a fair fight?/
(yeah right) I’m searching for blessed paradise/
a world filled with flowing rivers birds and dragon flies/
my rhymes are like a London travel guide/
in this city full of people stabbing guys like samourais/
fuck the alibis this rap game’s been paralysed/
‘coz it seems like using guns and jagged knives is glamourised/
to many wack rappers are living lavish lives/
advertising corporate products till they feel they’re satisfied/
all this rage has got me pulsating/
my respect for the police has worn out like an old apron/
I don’t rate them that’s a bit of a bold statement/
but the other weekend I was nearly put on probation/
fuck these politicians now they need to stop and listen/
all they care about is try’na kill the opposition/
some friends have gone to prison and made the wrong decisions/
the city’s fucked up but I don’t believe in communism/
how can you expect your people to make an honest living?/
half of the population here ain’t got a pot to piss in/
politicking don’t fit my job description/
we’re living in a time where love and faith are none existent/

Verse 1
I look back on my life full of solemn regret/
I’ve been alone all my life now I wanna forget/
I’ve never had much luck with the opposite sex/
but I’ve gotta hide the pain like the spots on my chest/
through out my whole life I’ve been taught to respect women/
maybe that’s the reason I love to have sex with them/
the last girl I got with left my heart broken/
but I can only write about her when I start smoking/
she made me go insane I think about her day and night/
she played me for a fool and now it’s time to pay the price/
just ‘coz she was feeling horny doesn’t make it right/
but I don’t really care about her ‘coz I hate my life/
all I really want is a woman that understands me/
I swear that I would show her love and be there for her fam’ly/
I’m always angry and swearing like Gordon Ramsay/
if I can’t get sex I’ll have to resort to plan b/
Chorus
When I fell for you I wasn’t really surprised/
and even though I’ve failed to win your heart at least I have tried/
I can’t even describe how I’m feeling inside/
the mem’ries of us together are what keep me alive/
like waking up next to you and looking deep in your eyes/
I thought that your love was the meaning of life/
but now I’ve fixed up and I can see through the lies/
so I’ll just wait until the feeling has died/
Verse 2
I was try’na treat you right we connected at the speed of light/
but ever since you left me it’s been hard for me to sleep at night/
I was in love from the moment I met you/
now I’m try’na find a job and forget you/
every single day but I ain’t got a penny to my name/
the memories of you and me have been embedded in my brain/
life goes on, everything can change/
but there’s still a part inside me that’ll never be the same/
I’m getting through the pain and try’na move on/
what did I do wrong? I’ve been like this for too long/
love can be so painful and its driving me crazy/
and nearly every time I think of you I cry like a baby/
I never go out I don’t even speak to my friends/
I’d probably do anything just to see you again/
other girls are checking me out but I’ve gotta leave em alone/
if I can’t be with you then I’d rather be on my own/

my bars will leave you close to defeat, there in the basement/
waste mans waste time all they do is keep waiting/

Baraka
I’ve always stayed true to the hip hop culture/
now I’m making money like a rich stock broker/
I’m sick of rappers like Kanye West/
why the fuck does he try to write when his bars ain’t fresh?/
the only thing that’s worse is Kanye’s free-styling/
his clothes make him look gayer than Andre 3000/
I can’t work out why Lil Wayne’s become successful/
he acts like a fool ‘coz he’s hooked on pimp juice and Red Bull/
it’s no wonder why people are sick of hip hop/
the entire culture’s grid-locked like Tupac and Tim Roth/
I’ve had enough now it’s pay-back time/
I’m sick of all you faggot rappers ‘coz you make wack rhymes/
the back of my hand’s like a battering ram/
I’m making hip hop for life you’re just a flash in the pan/
you’re just enough rapper on an ego trip/
fuck off, go to hell and eat a dick you piece of shit/

Ever since we were little kin’s snickering and bickering/
we never figured when we grow to bigger ‘ins to switch to men/
started as a unit each member ready to stick up men/
and bring beef to the kitchen then jail time we risking in/
but man who ain’t ready and their imagination tickling/
won’t be able to succeed and upgrade to millions/
even though your flows were better than turned to cheddar and/
drug trafficking constant satisfactioning/
lost the heart and art of your sword so you’re acronyms/
lost the punch in their lines, it’s only a natural fact that brings/
jealousy but these melodies get me set/
before my age reaches double 15 reject/
eject any prick that wanna act like an eediot/
and drop any pussy than wanna hold me back/
friends and business don’t mix like two big dicks/
so play your position or suck out you fucking prick/

Yo ever since I dyed my hair like N-Sync/
I’ve been skiving the London Underground and Thameslink/

I need to fix up ‘coz at the moment my breath stinks/
lately I ain’t been brushing my teeth/
it’s like I’ve had nothing to eat for a couple of weeks/
fuck the police I’m shitting on National Express/
Megabuses, EuroStar and Capital Connect/
they wanna whip me like the passion of Christ/
fuck my oyster card it’s just a tracking device/
I get in trouble when I hang around in Camden Town/
they’re try’na track me down so I’ve gotta stand my ground/
its not a long ting I’ll get there in twenty minutes/
‘coz in the last year I haven’t payed money for any tickets/
I had a merry christmas blood don’t ever get it twisted/
everyday I skive the train from Leicester Square to Seven Sisters/
Chorus
Crush, kill, shatter glass, roll through camouflaged/
fuck the copper they wanna stop us because we ‘av it large/
fuck a travel card this whole systems getting sabotaged/
even if it means that I’ve gotta die from the battle scars/
crush, kill, shatter glass, roll through camouflaged/
fuck the copper they wanna stop us because we ‘av it large/
fuck a travel card this whole systems getting sabotaged/
they don’t stand a chance I’ma crush em like an avalanche/
Verse 2
I hate cops and rappers into show-boating/
I’ll jump the fence if the gate won’t open/
my life’s hectic there’s never a dull moment/
why should I show a person respect if I don’t know them?/
I don’t care if the sign says No Smoking/
if any ticket inspector tries to take my Old Holborn/
I’ll leave his bones broken and kill him in slow motion/
I’m over grown like Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan/
I ain’t going down like muff diver/
we used to go on the back of the bus and drink Budweiser/
I’m living my life like a Ruff Rider/
I nearly got sent to jail ‘coz I pissed off the bus driver/
they’re tryn’a beat us and leave us in tiny pieces/
they can ride my penis I can read pigs like encycloped'yas/
show no signs of weakness and impose more views that bible preachers/
causing beef just like police that try to beat asylum seekers/

Verse 1
I’m crazy like Hannibal from Silence of the Lambs/
coz I’m sick of doing work and revising for exams/
I wish that I was somewhere hot lying in the sand/
sizzling like bacon when it’s frying in the pan/
that’s why I wanna move to San Diego/
all I need to do is sell twenty grams of yayo/
I wanna leave my humble abode/
propaganda on television’s got me under control/
this is London City blood home of the heartless/
I’m never gonna move away ‘coz home’s where the heart is/
even though it’s full of pigs that stroll through the darkness/
there’s so much shit on my mind and I don’t know what to start with/
my computer’s fucked up I’ve broken the hard disc/
and I’m only really happy when I’m smoking a large spliff/
but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel/
as long as I sober up and stop getting in trouble/
Verse 2
I’m full of self doubt can’t somebody help out?/
I was climbing up the ladder then I fell down now I’m hell bound/
I reminisce to when I was fourteen/
and all the happy memories numb the pain like morphine/
but fuck that ‘coz now I’m a raw rapper/
I used to be nerd into comics and Warhammer/
all the school bullies kicked me in my gall bladder/
till I smacked them down and made their jaw shatter like a prawn cracker/
I was into Thunder Cats and A-Team/
now I’m 24 and still doing the same thing/
got into the rave scene and rebelled like James Dean/
I’m sick of this regime I’ll never go mainstream/
but I’ve gotta get paid I crave to blaze green/
I’ve stayed in a day dream from the age of eighteen/
now I’m try’na make cream and wipe the slate clean/
but my album’s cheaper than a can of bake beans/
Verse 3
I used to have ambitions of becoming an architect/
now it seems to be chasing the girls that play hard to get/
I’m losing faith in the human race/
but try’na keep myself together as my mind hallucinates/
I don’t need love and I don’t need a girl friend/
I’ll always be alone until this fucking world ends/
and when it does I’ll have smile on my face/
‘coz when I die I’ll be a thousand million miles from this place/
back in the day I had this girl I used to fuck with/
she was intelligent, beautiful and seductive/
but double-crossed me like a copper under cover/
for another lover turns out he’s a cocky mother fucker/
but I don’t hate the player I hate the game/
I need to stake my claim before I ever make a change/
but I cant take the pain and I don’t wanna wait in vain/
it ain’t the same without her love I’m burning like a naked flame/
