Skinnyman – Hayden Lyrics
Lyrics
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...
