Skinnyman – No Big Ting Lyrics
Lyrics
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
