Can’t Tek No More

Lyrics

"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... " Dizzee Rascal, Shy FX, dun kno It's all too much fam... Kids on the road start young these days Walk street with a knife and gun these days No fun these days Do dirt, end up on the run these days Whole lot of pain, suffering, and badness Whole lot of madness Too many grieving mothers and sadness It ain't safe in the manor no more Take one false step and you could get bored Kids caught up in the hype and the nonsense Do what they hear in the songs and the TV Picking up bust and making up fuss for the sake of money cause it looks so easy But they don't understand, they can't comprehend Cause they're too caught up trying to rep their ends, for the reputation And pass it on to the next generation "Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... " We're heading in to a recession No banks, no loans, no mortgages One step away from a depression Can't even work out the cause of it But everybody gotta forfeit Wanna buy a house but they just can't afford it And it's so unfortunate Money lenders are extortionate So you gotta move in with your mates or mum Ain't gotta place of your own, now your glum, feeling dumb It's a crowded house and you can't have fun cause when you have sex they can hear when you cum Gotta pay council tax and it kills Not to mention the rent and bills And you hate how it feels Until... you go to the club and you pop some pills "Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... " Look around everywhere is a crisis Pure extortion at petrol prices Cost of living is already large then they hit you with a congestion charge 8 whole sterling Just to drive into town I'm hurting Hole in my pocket and my wallet is burning But I fork out from the money I'm earning Stomach is turning If I don't pay on the day Gotta pay 60 pounds another day Keeps going up every time I don't pay Them government boy will tow it away Still can't take the bus or the train It's a pain in the arse and a strain on the brain Price of a ticket is just insane But sooner or later there's gotta be a change "Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... " So much war in the world today Too many women and kids get blown away I say "what's the cause of it?" Money as usual Poor and the innocent suffer as usual None of it's useful, just brutal Can't understand why there can't be truth And the government make it necessary To put the countries obituary Cause war pays the bills Doesn't matter how many innocent people killed Just as long as pockets are properly filled And a profit is made and they can chill Just keepin' it real Don't wanna blow it outta proportion But it looks like straight up extortion So this is a caution Don't just stand there, do something 'bout it This is important, this is important, this is important, this is important, this is important, this is... "Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "
