Dot Rotten - Heart of Stone lyrics

[Bridge: Dot Rotten] We would be more positive if there wasn't so much heartache Stressed out, stuck between a rock and hard place Where we're living, everybody's under pressure But we gotta keep our sh** together We need a heart of stone (we need a heart of stone) [Verse 1: Bashy] I'm saying young little blacky How can you feel happy? Your head's full of sh** ‘Cause your hair is all nappy (I know) Parents from a different era (old school) They tell you work and go school But that doesn't help at all When you're up in (?) And the man dem move food all around your area (shottas) So they rock j**els, push a Porsche Carrera So now you're feeling loose and your nostrils flair up ‘Cause on the marge, you can't promise to pay the barer When people ask you how you're doing, all you say is “deh yah” It's hard to get your act together, I ain't talking theatre Some will make it out the hood, lucky, they'll get some paper But they'll just show you the best bits like a movie trailer (liars) I don't, I watch the news, I flip through the paper And all I see is sports stars, a couple entertainers Or a mug shot, a n***a's lips looking greyer Or a cute pic ‘cause someone made him meet his maker Girls under pressure from the videos They go and k** themselves, injecting up silicone (sad) Sell and slide their p**y up and down a stripper pole They make us think it's the only way out, p**yholes [Bridge: Dot Rotten] We would be more positive if there wasn't so much heartache Stressed out, stuck between a rock and hard place Where we're living, everybody's under pressure But we gotta keep our sh** together [Hook: Dot Rotten] We need a heart of stone (stone) It's dark and cold (cold) If we don't lay the seeds, I guess the plants can't grow (grow) Heart of stone (stone) Let the hard times go (go) If all we see is negative, we can't evolve Heart of stone (stone) [X2] [Verse 2: Lady Leshurr] Sometimes I live my life with no regrets And half a heart of stone My eyes have seen the darkest nights And now it's hard to cope If you just knew just what I know I guarantee your family would say this can't be home I'm now a heart of stone And now I've got to go I keep it clean—a bar of soap I know my dreams It's like my mother does, my father don't We need to change the hearts of those But I don't mean biopsy though ‘Cause if we can't be (?) Sometimes I can't be bothered, no It's a fact and God's are so People chat and can't be told Some demons out to take your life And leave your hat with half a dome Life is hard, I know But what's to run the race and hurdle over obstacles This is the marathon Let's break down the barriers Give the positive to bad and save them from embarra**ment We tick the box as applicant If this is not an accident Then stand a march for growth Sincerely, heart of stone [Bridge] [Hook x2] [Verse 3: Black the Ripper] I ain't asking for much I just want to live Born and raised in London city I've seen a lot of sh** They say the streets are gritty So if you ain't on this ‘ting You're dying, that's why it's hard to stay positive I've got a lot to give But no one to give it to Most people are leeches —ungrateful and miserable I keep two eyes in the back of my head ‘Cause if you slip, that's it, clap clap and you're dead Forget school, hit the roads and start mashing instead A lot of people went to uni and look what happened to them I've got friends with degrees that had to work at McD's In cla**, they only teach you how to be employees f** that, where's all my bosses at? We're trapped in this habitat Surrounded by snakes, knives, d**, girls, gats and that I pray to God, we see a brighter day But by the looks of it, it won't be right away
