Devlin – Lifes Fucked Up Lyrics
Lyrics
Intro
- 2008...fucking depressing mate
Verse 1
- I'm from the dirty Dagenham blocks
- Where the children are taking or serving rocks
- And the main ambition is to be swerving the cops
- Cause they wanna serve drugs not herd in a box
- And a headshot will make a body turn on the spot
- Round here it's more fucked than an old nonce perving off
- You see the old bill following your vehicle
- Behind you, can't see in the rear-view
- You best start turning off
- Then buckle up and start burning off
- It's 2008 killings every other day so welcome to the UK
- Where you can get moved to for two flakes
- That's a regular occurrence
- Every other day theres a similar disturbance
- Blue and yellow placards advertise murders
- Committed by kids with knives and big burners
- But that's the cards we've been dealt
- Can't help but feel a little sorry for ourselves
- Kids are getting killed every day
- It's not a game like the Commonwealth
- This is common knowledge and still they don't wanna help
- Kids don't care about life like Heath Ledger
- Cause they ain't seen no better
- You could get stabbed for two tenners
- And jacked for your brand new New Era
- Around here there's more crime than Stella in a landlords cellar
- We need to make a few changes
- Maybe Eastenders should be a little bit more like Shameless
- Cause thats how it really is
- Instead of some overpaid amateur actors
- Running round on the square like fucking idiots
- They know nothing about east end affiliates
- It's war round here, forget peace, it's war round here
- You'll get shot or bora'd round 'ere
Hook
- Yeah, life's fucked up, sometimes I had enough
- They'll try fuck you up, like an R1 bike that's collided
- With trucks and the drivers divided and cut (x2)
Verse 2
- I'm from one of the poorest places in Britain
- Where people get robbed and possessions go missing
- Way before I ever hit the air waves spitting
- I was chilling in the dirty old stairway with piss in
- Kids sitting on the street corner dealing
- If he's got money they'll be willing to jib him
- I can't wait to get away from this shit and say good riddance
- Cause there ain't nothing great about Great Britain
- And if there is then it's hidden
- I ain't never seen it
- I just can't believe it
- Pinch me I'm dreaming
- And now I'm coming out the pub fucking steaming
- And seeing two fat slags fighting and screaming
- I'm lighting my spliff with my green in
- Just another Friday evening
- Blood alcohol levels increasing
- And I've smoked too much weed
- If you need me then I'm breathing
- And leave your boys greening
Hook
- Yeah, life's fucked up, sometimes I had enough
- They'll try fuck you up, like an R1 bike that's collided
- With trucks and the drivers divided and cut (x2)
Verse 3
- I've gotta get back on it
- See a deck with my track on it
- My flows like crack on it
- They keep coming back for it
- Waving their money for my CD's
- I'll tell em get fucked
- If they're coming for some freebies
- Cause I ain't got nothing to give
- I'm just fucked when I spit
- Tell'em suck on a dick
- Behind Beckton and bargain
- ???
- You'll get hotted with the tip of the sniff
- Even if you're minding your own business
- Or bunning a spliff, I'm down on my music
- I know a few man around town that get down
- With the gun and the clips
- And start letting off bullets
- If you're running your lips
- As long as I spit
- I'll continue to punish these pricks
- Yeah I'm from the slums where the scumbags live
- You could be approached by a scumbag
- And he could be two foot tall
- But with a three foot chiff
- Yeah it's just the life that we live
- Nines and clips, kids putting knifes in ribs
- I'll let the road man vibe to this
- Because they know how vital it is
- Just to make the fucking ends meet
- And fuck being friendly
- I'm driving around in an old school stolen Fiesta
- Because I ain't got no money for my Bentley
- But that's only temporary
- That way I spit bars is elementary
Hook
- Yeah, life's fucked up, sometimes I had enough
- They'll try fuck you up, like an R1 bike that's collided
- With trucks and the drivers divided and cut (x2)
