Hayden 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.

Hayden Lyrics

Year of Release: 2004
Skinnyman
  • Teachers who saw their education as a blessin
  • Come to school now all in a sort of depression
  • All o' da kids in the class, they all stressin
  • The teacher's just waitin for that first kid to test him
  • So school doesn't seem like its any kind of lesson
  • We're out on the streets tryna make our possession
  • The manor that we're from has turned like spaghetti western
  • With itchy fingers on da triggers ready for the pressin and its...
  • Pure depression, I'm standin at the crossroads
  • Thinkin bout all the other children of the lost souls
  • And now we only aim for goals that we can see
  • Another brother thought he saw his future shottin B
  • He's 19 an' he's caught wid a half a Kee
  • So now he ain't comin' home until he's 33
  • What a waste of a life
  • Jus' like a criss girl I knew who fucked man for a taste of pipe
  • No-one's ready to face up to these fights
  • But you find some mad shit on these council estates at night
  • So lock your shit down safe an tight
  • And stand firm like a soldier so you don't lose face, all right?
  • The police patrol the streets like beasts
  • Instead of chasin the thiefs they pull us up and give us beats
  • So we run these streets red, kids are holdin their head
  • As they drivin around on their stolen peds
  • They're just dealin the cards that life has dealt em
  • Half of their crews are now lockdown in Feltham
  • Schools an' probation just can't seem to help dem
  • The law has made sure that they've grown to resent dem
  • Don't ask them now what is their life representin
  • To get through their day is their sole intention
  • An you can't tell them that they're wrong
  • Coz they're all men-child and feel they know what's goin on
  • They haven't got no time to enjoy jus bein young or havin fun
  • They out there keepin it headstrong
  • They couldn't let Skinnyman come and advise them
  • They look at me as if my words was patronisin
  • They can't think about no long-term plans
  • When they just young boys tryin to be some o' da mans dem
  • They can't think about no long term plans
  • When they just young boys tryin to be some o' da mans them...
