lyrics

Verse 1
Yo ever since I dyed my hair like N-Sync/
I’ve been skiving the London Underground and Thameslink/
I’ll either get lynched or famous like Fresh Prince/
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/

Chorus
