Imagine if i showed u 1 day i was leavin da hood,
|
Wud u call me a sell out, wud u say its all good?
|
Wud u folow if u cud?
|
Or wud u jus tell me get da hell out?
|
|
And imagine if i showed u dat id found another way of gettin dough wiv out doin dirt,
|
Lets blurt, wud u love me 4 givin u sum hope?
|
Or ressent me coz ur pride got hurt?
|
|
Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate,
|
An was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth,
|
Wud we still b makin fuss about da east an da south?
|
Wud we shiver at da robberys, murder an da crack?
|
An thank god dat we didn hav 2 live like dat,
|
Jus an image on da tv as were comftarbly sat,
|
Sippin wine room lit by da summer sunshine,
|
Not a worry in da world as we cash will e chat?
|
Oblivious 2 how we wud b livin on da flipside,
|
No experience, not a clue about a ruff ride,
|
No harrassment, no boy dem on our back side,
|
Dat'd b amazin still!
|
|
But i no u wonder wud it make u any less real?
|
Wats da current spot ur standin in, offerin,
|
If u had a better offer wud u go 4 da kill?
|
Snap out of ur day dream, how do u feel?
|
|
Does it all seem worthwhile 4 ya?
|
Try an put it in perspective,
|
Retrospective of ur profile an ur honour,
|
Do u wana hang about or are u a goner?
|
|
Come along fink fast, decision time,
|
Uve been livin in da grime, don u wana climb?
|
Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment,
|
Or are u lookin 4 da hype an excitement,
|
Coz deres so much drama in da LDN,
|
Its kinda hard tryin 2 find legal money 2 spend,
|
Generation, genocide look possible,
|
Da rate at which we drew up 4 da sken,
|
An pretend, dat we dont no who da real enemy is,
|
Who shud we hold responsible, instead we offend,
|
A couple square metres of pavement in da endz,
|
Wat wud we acchieve my friends?
|
