Council Estate Of Mind

Talkin' 'bout the science of social deprevation

From 'ere to whereever in the council estates the mans is strugglin'

The poor lower working class

Blud, you got to sleep round here and have nightmares

Wake up and find the worst reality is right there

The difference is, in my dream's I'm always runnin' scared

But in reality, on road, I'm comin' prepared

So now who's gonna wanna run up and become a gonner?

Everybody's gonna wanna get us, but they're on a longers

I'm still out to get the same cats from last summer

But man can't see them again

It's like they've done a runner

I'm still in the same mannor, on the same number

And everybody knows where I'm at and what I'm under

I'm in the same slums, raisin' the funds

In the city where the yute man are blazin' the guns

Just look how this United Kingdom has come

Within the council estates where man'll fight over crumbs

We got young single parent mums

Havin' the hardest time tryn'a survive for their daughters and their sons

Be comin' out their yutes, cause their yutes are left out there

Raised on the ways of these streets without care

Now we're havin' our fair share of gun warefare

And it's all gone nuts and that's just cause it's poor here

People want more here

We're all on the floor here

It's raw here, can't even sleep and ignore here

Cause life's kinda militant

Stuck in the grime

Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times

Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds

I live amongst smashed syringes

Squatters' doors hangin' off the hinges

Hookers lookin' money for Bobby, shottin' their minges

Leavin' used condoms out on the staircases

Next to the broken pipes that's left by the Base Heads

Local estate heads, have grown up to hate Feds

Kids with no helmets drivin' round on some bait peds

Abandoned cars are at the bottom of the block

So when it's pissin' down

Kids have got a place to plot

To cotch and blaze pot

And watch this whole spot

Full up of lost souls with no goals who get left to rot

And what, I don't expect you to ever comprehend is

Why (Wottal?) Atkin's so self defensive

The neighbourhood shotters have all seen what it's comin' to

Local coppers on patrol are boppin' with a gun too

So anyone could bun you

Leave and desert you

How long they gonna mourn you when somebody mercs you?

Tryin' not to get shift when shiftin' your work true

When you wanna shift there ain't nowhere to splurt to

The stakes are high, still the best get placed

Tryn'a find how sweet success might taste

In a place where everybody is tryin' to flex

Nobody's really gettin' anywhere

So everybody's vexed

Livin' life kinda militant

Stuck in the grime

Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times

Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds

So these are lyrics for my people

Livin' on the streets who

Know they ain't got nuttin' else to retreat to

If you gettin' food next man'll wanna eat you

Pure, bad beefs just to get to delete you

So many man nowadays are so see-through

Beware of their deceitful ways when the greet you

Those who feel it know it because they've been through

Times when their friends wanna switch up to beat you

I never used to see it but

Now I got a clear view

Don't let no bad minded heads try get near you

If they're not on your level they'll never hear you

Ain't no time to be shaken or fearful

If you've been through, some of this evil that we do

A hundred Hail Mary's ain't enough to redeem you

All of my long time friends are crack fiends

Who have gone too far, but still say they didn't mean too

Does alleviation through base and crack relieve you?

Everybody's losin' their mind

And even me too

Step into my world if you wanna catch a preview

But don't tell a soul, cause they just won't believe you

The life's kinda militant

Stuck in the grime

Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

Life's kinda militant

Stuck in the grime

Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times

Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds

We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times

Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds
