Imagine if |
|
I showed you 1 day, |
|
I was leavin' da hood |
|
Wud you call me a sell out, wud you say it's all good? |
|
Wud you follow if you cud? |
|
Or wud you just tell me, get da hell out? |
|
And imagine if |
|
I showed you dat |
|
I'd found another way |
|
Of gettin' dough wiv out doin' dirt |
|
Let's blurt, wud you love me 4 givin' you sum hope? |
|
Or resent me 'coz your pride got hurt? |
|
Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate |
|
An' was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth |
|
Wud we still be makin' fuss about da |
|
East an da |
|
South?Wud we shiver at da robbery's, murder an' da crack? |
|
An thank God dat we didn't have 2 live like dat |
|
Just an image on da |
|
TV as were comfortably sat |
|
Sippin' wine room lit by da summer sunshine |
|
Not a worry in da world as we cash will |
|
E chat?Oblivious 2 how we wud be livin' on da flip side |
|
No experience, not a clue about a ruff ride |
|
No harassment, no boy dem on our back side |
|
Dat'd b amazin' still |
|
But I no you wonder, wud it make you any less real? |
|
Wat's da current spot your standin' in, offerin' |
|
If you had a better offer, wud you go 4 da kill? |
|
Snap out of your day dream, how do you feel? |
|
Does it all seem worthwhile 4 ya? |
|
Try an put it in perspective |
|
Retrospective of your profile an' your honor |
|
Do you wanna hang about or are you a goner? |
|
Come along fink fast, decision time |
|
You've been livin' in da grime, don't you wanna climb? |
|
Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment |
|
Or are you lookin' 4 da hype an excitement' |
|
Coz dere's so much drama in da |
|
LDN,It's kinda hard tryin' 2 find legal money 2 spend |
|
Generation, genocide look possible |
|
Da rate at which we drew up 4 da sken |
|
An pretend, dat we don't no who da real enemy is |
|
Who shud we hold responsible, instead we offend |
|
A couple square meters of pavement in da endz |
|
Wat wud we achieve, my friends? |
