Mic Righteous - Link Up TV - Behind Barz lyrics

They say it couldn't have happened at a harder time Righteous, give 'em my heart, every bar I write I take time to make sure that every bar is right Sleep through mad hours of the day I can't be asked with life I'm questioning my destiny What's meant to be is meant to UGH f** it that's typical of me to say that, breathe I think I need a second of peace That's why I never accept defeat, even when you're dead on your feet People think I'm something special 'cos I rap on a beat I ain't sh** to a man on his knees fighting addiction Ain't got the legal right to see his kids He keeps on trying 'till the day he dies He swears he made a mistake Let him make it right, and that's difficult Me and him, different worlds In a zone, in a state, in a cell, in a prison We ain't free, this is hell I would kiss the world bye, get high Take flight, leave the drama behind, it's either Laugh at your past or let it eat you alive It's deeper than rhymes, I see it as a blessing in disguise Don't let the angels leave you behind, we need the light (light) We've been living in the dark, for this long And all we had to do, was switch on If you give me one chance, I'm gone We've been doing this with no help Everybody smile, 'cos Rocky's doing so well But they don't tell what they don't know I'm going through hell in my own home No self-control, control yourself you're full grown You've got no dough You can't eat these bars you expect me to starve Gotta take that dream, make that p Ain't nobody said it'd be easy darg Ayo Ri-Ri I see you, d'you see me, NAH Cos we out trynna beat these markets My people are the only thing that keep me barking I show love before hate Does that make me an easy target? I don't run around screaming "We be the 'ardest" We be the ones you don't see, we graftin' From back in the day when the Peoples' Army started We put in the fear, put in the blood, put in the tears Put in the sweat, put in the love And then we put our heart in They say there's no hope for an underground artist But we kept pushing regardless I remember when Jack still had his red Vectra We were sitting in the front seat Listening to Freedom of Speech, mad pissed Looking for the answers, so mad I told Lambs I would never be as good as the craftsman He turned round and answered: "You're responsible for your life, every obstacle in the way All you gotta do is just climb 'em" Yeah It's like I'm talking to Mic here Sometimes I think it's impossible being Righteous I ain't so philosophical when I've been irresponsible Everything ulterior I nearly lost it all With no-one left to blame, it's my fault It ain't too late, yeah yeah Call Logical This is what I call historical (GRR) What's that? A lot of talk They don't know the kind of problems that we're gonna cause Even the most stable need a little bit of support And with that bit of support, we're gonna Kick off the doors like this is a war They keep us in the cold While they live in the warmth Keep on chilling 'cos we're bringing the storm They ain't seen this before I make the tiny little hairs on the back of their neck Stand up on end, rap like I'm packed But I'm back from the dead Rep for the endz Plus I never fall 'cos the wall's where my back's up against, sh** If you're real, you have to respect it Big up Link Up, they're my bredrins Anybody disrespect I'll end them, no pretending I sent a text that said this, but it's still pending, like Rules are made to be broken Now who can say that we won't win? Yeah you can change if you try It's only impossible in your mind, one more time Rules are made to be broken Now who can say that we won't win? Yeah you can change if you try It's only impossible in your mind, one time Big up Link Up
