Riot Rhymes
Verse 1:
Right now, I'm feeling like this city's gone-to-the-dogs
Watching the ominous-fogs
Rising from-molotovs
Buses set alight, houses bombed-by-the-mobs
And these prats wanna blame the riots in London-on-jobs ?
Please, I've known a number of guys-who-are-broke
Myself included, who ain't fillin the skies-full-of-smoke
It's just a bunch of excuses, and lies-to-provoke
This sh** further, go sniff some more lines-of-your-coke
But It's deeper than this sh**, course the rioting-ain't-helping
But they're just the product of a society-that's-melting
Inevitably when you're trying-to-mix-wealth-in
With poverty, thats why I try defiantly-to-tell-them
Can't change where you're from, how you're raised
Can't change how much your mother gets paid
Can't change the mentality that's drilled in your brains
But over time if you try, you can change the darkness of your days
You wern't born criminally-obsessed
Just stuck in this mess
Subliminally-repressed
By your thoughts, wise words you cynically-reject
Surrounded by fake gangstas and silly-little-skets
What? think cause I ain't a prick myself I don't-know
How f**ed this mentality is, how the roads-go ?
Seen enough of my mates go down these cold-roads
Rather not buy their own baby clothes for a coke-dose
Kids feeling that having hope-is-a-fallacy
Brainwashed and loosing scope-from-reality
Now they're on the streets to provoke-total-anarchy
These ends have even had me feeling close-to-insanity
So can I really judge them that-harsh ?
Yeah I can. The little f**ing rats-asked
For it when they left innocent peoples flats-charred
Just like they did when they stabbed teens just to act-hard !
I ain't talking to the pikeys-in-JD's
Smashing up shops for some Nikes-or-maybe
An i-Phone
This mentality cyclone
Spreading like a disease is the reason for my-tone
Yeah there's problems with the global-economy
And too many reside in what's supposedly-poverty
But you live off benefits, posing-all-solemnly
As if the situation is closed-and-not-voulantary
Acting like you're fighting for a real-cause
There's people in countries whose houses ain't got real-doors!
Rioting because they ain't had meals-four
Days in a row, And you still talk like you're in real-wars ??!
Haha, I'm the first-to-admit
This system's f**ed, but you man are just stirring-the-sh**
Don't care, You're too busy burning-away
Not thinking that consequential burdens-await
Think you where hard done by police?
You just gave them more powers to scrape the street with your teeth !
But you probably ain't even hearing my speech
So f** it. I'm done, do what you want. Peace
