Day To Day Basis 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.

Day To Day Basis Lyrics

Year of Release: 2004
Intro
    • "So Skinnyman, now that you've signed a deal with talkin loud and your
    • currently Recording your album, how's this altered your lifestyle...? "
    • (Let me play this one, tell you exactly how it is in Finsbury
    • Cause in my life, ain't nuttin nice... check it blud...)
Skinnyman
  • Nowadays I live my life on a day to day basis
  • Cause everybody in the whole fam's got cases
  • Roamin the streets that are full of the screw faces
  • Resortin us back to the blocks that are on the stair cases
  • We hope we don't get to face the bases
  • Who wanna try erase us to take the papers, laterz
  • To what my whole council estate is
  • Dwellin on the city on top of these sky scrapers
  • Me? I keep a watch over the whole of my acres
  • From those who wanna take us from 5'0's to fakers
  • Cause all were tryin'a be is money makers
  • So we might have had a chance to escape from some of these derelict places
  • Were livin life at fast paces
  • It's like were gutter rats tryin'a contend these rap races
  • So best to tighten up your laces
  • Cause this year I'm steppin up a year to fast for you to chase us
  • You think id wanna stick around this town
  • And have to wait for a crackhead to beat my mum down
  • To get a phone call sayin just bring your money now
  • By any little fassy with a bucket runnnin round
  • I don't love the sound of what those haters wanna do to me
  • That's why I'm not givin them any opportunity
  • For me it's not about all of the money and the jewellrey
  • Survival of the fittest-it's life so now it's you or me
  • And I don't wanna move away from the flats
  • But that's they only way for me to get away from these cats
  • I sit and wonder why the fuck it has to be like that
  • And wonder it would have been like if we blew up in rap
  • But that's a dream and me I put reality first
  • And yeah it's real that these fiends wanna steal your mums purse
  • Does it seem, the whole of this manor is cursed
  • Like the bubble is boilin and just waitin to burst
  • This generations gettin worse-these yoot man are comin up
  • Nuttins out there for 'em so they just don't give a fuck
  • And they gettin to lose so then,
  • they're out on streets late nights confused again
  • You put your feet in
  • Their shoes for them
  • And you see what you can do for them
  • And you too might screw for them
  • And this ain't really nuttin new for them
  • A man like you will probably label them a hooligan
  • To live good or bad, but me I'm mud cause the hood is bad
  • Dressin in rags on the 'ags, you know my hood is mad
  • We worry bout gettin beat up or stabbed
  • Now we worry bout the man that's come to shoot up the ave'
  • The dreams we used to have are gone
  • For those hopes are basic needs
  • were in the bottom of the barrel tryin'a fight for lifes necessities
  • Those older man who's takin time to give advice to me
  • Tryina show me just how nice my life could be
  • With me id like to share the vision
  • But all I see is man on a mission
  • My streets are full of friction
  • And you can check my diction
  • It gets deep everywhere that you go
  • Cause there's snakes everywhere in every ghetto you go
  • Wo wo...
