Chester P - Little Man lyrics

[Intro: Chester P skit] Oi little man That was really good, man Feels like everything's just ... Man's just trying ... To get by ... by ... But life's ... Difficult but ... [Verse 1: Chester P] So little man Take your little friend's hand Push it high in the sky Show the world that you free now Little man, run come follow me now Little man, run come follow me now In the city where the summer is a grey cloud In a breakdown, hate drowned in the state pound All we down is stay down on the same ground In the gutter, when the world is our playground Little man, your world is bigger than a staircase Bigger than the slums and the whole wel-fare state And, little man, don't wade in the crime wave There's a world outside of the mindstate And little man, don't think like time waits: Time takes, leaves you with a blind hate And it's true, that life is a black hole But there's more than the cats and the crack hoes And there's more than the job and the mortgage Car and the dog, wife and the four kids There's a whole new ground to be walked on Out of the bounds in the dark with the torch on There's a world full of hate that will crush you There's a world for life, full of love too And, little man, all I know about the street thing You're in the street, ain't you that the streets sing [Chorus: ?] Running free Let me run the river's run Let me be Jungle child Running wild Running free Let me run the riverside Let me be Jungle child Running wild Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya [Sketch: Chester P] This is for the children, man We've got secure somethin' for these children, man It's like they're tomorrow's premonition You understand? It's like they are tomorrow, man We have to stop ignoring their needs, man Yesterday won't work today, you understand? [Verse 2: Chester P] So little man Take your little friend's hand Raise it up in the sky Show the world that you free now Little man, run come follow me now Little man, run come follow me now In the city where there's nothing but street life Kids keep knives and they never see seaside Some of them are knee-high in the street like Bears in a bee-hive, none of them'll sleep tight Little man, the world's bigger than a few blocks Bigger than the new creps, bigger than a few shots Little man, it's a life full of hard times But there's more than the scars and the car crime And you're right, in the hood it ain't all good But in the world, little man, it ain't all hood I'm trying to tell you there's a life you can live well And, little man, you're right on the big scale You're never free, but the world is a big jail As opposed to a 12 by 6 cell And little man, I know your mind stay shut down For the money, nothing's funny, see the cop-clowns There's a world full of hate that will crush you There's a life full of life, full of love too And little man, all I know about the street thing You're in the street, ain't you that the streets sing [Chorus] Running free Let me run the river's run Let me be Jungle child Running wild Running free Let me run the riverside Let me be Jungle child Running wild Running free Let me run the river's run Let me be Jungle child Running wild Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya [Sketch: Chester P] Yo, little man I'm talking to you, man Let me just remind you Don't take everything too serious, you know? You can't always go with the grain You can't always go against it Everything's what it is, man Love is the key to find yourself amongst this darkness, you know? Ultimately, little man The world is what you make it Your mindstate is what controls things And little man Don't forget You're my favourite little man out there, you know?
