No Big Ting Lyrics

Council Estate Of Mind by Skinnyman is one of the most well respected home grown hip hop releases to ever hit the streets, the album features a total of 15 tracks.

The album has samples through-out from 'Made In Britain' released in 1982 which Tim Roth starred in, the made for TV film is about a guy named Trevor who is a teenage skin head being lectured during the entire film by his social worker. The film focuses around Trevors upbringing with anger issues about being brought up in a council estate lifestyle.

The albums single is titled 'I'll Be Suprised' is a great example of skinnyman at work, the subject matter in a jist reflects a story of one nights worth of a violent gang war. The album has two great uplifting tracks titled 'Council Estate Of Mind' and 'Thats What Im Gonna Do' which showcase persistence of a council estate mindset. 

No Big Ting by Skinnyman

No Big Ting Lyrics

Year of Release: 2004
Hook
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life blud)
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (no role models up in here, what?)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
Verse 1
    • Blud I'm not sayin that I'm anything, who am I to give man advice?
    • It's not that I know best, when trust blud I don't
    • All I know is if your comin from this manor I'm from
    • You'll find nuff man'll test ya don't think they won't
    • Everybody is on their own little hustle just to find a way to try get thru
    • When your raised in this fuckry
    • And if your makin some papes on these estates man'll try and get you
    • So you run and grab your bucky
    • You count your blessins everyday but still accept you'll have to take your loses
    • It's money that your makin
    • Especially if your comin up in the ranks
    • Against the big crime bosses that are all sittin hatin
    • The jealous ones'll always envy so you dare say it now who wants it
    • Let them fuckers spite ya
    • They're out to get you so you get them first
    • And look now uve done it cause your arrived in a lifer
    • Stop
Hook
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (man ain't tryin to be nothing big blud)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't really tell you how to live your life, get me)
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (nuttin big star)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
Verse 2
    • I'm from a manor where the last 20yrs have been infested
    • By the crack-cocaine, that you'll find man endeavourin
    • To come down from the ? man are shovin needles in thier vein
    • With juice full up of heroin
    • We are all stuck in this struggle but its not as if we can't see
    • That nuff mans out there shottin work
    • They use it for an escape as if its really gonna set man free
    • When we are still diggin in the dirt
    • The schools are underacheivin in the grades so its minumum wage
    • By the time you go to look a job
    • But on the streets we are learnin every other aspect of the criminal trade
    • So instead we gonna look to rob
    • It's like a gamble for your life on this manor so you hope that you win
    • Or else you'll just be runnin shook
    • And I can't tell you how to live any better I ain't no big ting
    • Trust me listen to the hook
    • Look
Hook
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life at all)
    • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I ain't tryin to be no biggie blud)
    • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
Verse 3
    • So what's the method for the madness
    • For any of these kids who get left out on these streets
    • Where you find evrybody's frettin
    • And walkin round with screw faces thinkin that
    • Pure bad beefs is all their likely plan to getting
    • Don't let anybody get in your way
    • From tryin to chase your dreams blud, whatever they might be
    • You've got to go for whatever you wanna be no matta
    • If that might seem however unlikely
    • If you don't go make a start for the betta then your shit won't change
    • And you'll just get left behind
    • And end up like so many brothers who still out here
    • Goin insane feelin' like they've lost their mind
    • So get lost in the dust if your not goin to make your start
    • Instead of just sittin and wishin
    • Nobodys getting any younger so you know
    • You 'av to play your part
    • If you wanna betta your position
    • Listen
Hook
  • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing
  • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
  • I'm not tryin to be, no big thing, no no
  • I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
