They talk about they wanna cut crime down
I do something positive and they fly down
I'm pissed off, so I lie down

Grab a spliff, grab a pen, and I wind down
Mad poverty
!@^%s can't get jobs so they buy brown

Buy light, drive round
Tryna hustle on the streets to get the right pound
A little youths getting knifed down

Cos !@$@ got pissed and brought a knife round
They don't care about a sign said put the knives down
Next little !@$@s gonna get the knives now

Rinse off the ting and put a life down
Think of the %#@! we live our lives round
That's why I can't understand all the fight down


[Hook: Mike Skinner]
When the shadows in the sun grow long

We listen to a slow, slow song

I used to roll strapped up packing a Glock

Running round rinsing at the back of a block
Used to shot cats whole packets of rock
Now I make music, what they planning to block

$#&@ these lil' !@$)goty cops
I came a long way from a raggedy top
Old Reeboks, and my Gravitys on

Now everything drops I get my gravity on
The whole industry getting mad at me songs
Saying they don't like me the way I'm carrying on

Been a mad journey
These $#&@er don't know where I'm travelling from
Tryna make my buzz lighter

Tryna get to me locking down my blud Kyzer
Smoke weed while sipping on a Budweiser


[Hook: Mike Skinner]

It's just a phase we know

That hazy glow
Coming off the blazing road
But I'm like Amir Khan, I appear calm

All that clear charm
But I clip your ear ole' raw
Keep score of what I got

In the draw with the socks
Feeling ever more than a lot
I used to score shotting at the squats

$#&@ it, duck it in the bucket seat
Spunked all my currency and my luck, you see
Am I grind blind

Frightened sometimes
Mixing white wine with wine
Late nights on the pave like

With Dave types
Chitter chatter with the latter
Wave bye

Behave right
Let's stay tight


[Hook: Mike Skinner]
