Coming of Age in Britain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We smoke weed every evenin' Tweetin' our feelings and fame's what our dream is Not Dragons D Deborah Meaden In UK where the Queen is do we see the deceit in the system So we're mad beef like we're steamin' Thinking can't change on streets, we're defeated Outside of the pubs pissheads get a beaten By the smell of chip shops, cursing police men Football, binge drinkin' help us deny Britains' sinkin' Tesco signs says we're linkin' High tryna find my conviction I'm black but gotta leave times where we're victims Believe in myself 'cause they lie in this prison In these Saxon lands we're tryin' dodgy lines, how I frisk 'em Even when a job gets dry like a Pritt Stick Can't be dealing like dice got to build this time 'Cause my dad's generation didn't get that wise to the System So many black youths got a knife and conviction Bruvs, I had American bars 'Til So Solid started reppin' in charts Watching American stars Immigrants from afar 'cause currency is large Speaking Patois watching Eastenders Real not the Only Way Essex is bars What I've got lost so I'm not Primark, so I probably won't chart Hard, not Maggie Thatcher Growing up quick in a Macky Ds arch With QVC MCs and ASBO stressin' Say what I mean not a twat tryna be G Writing lines I don't believe like attention Britains' falling they don't like to mention Posh guys in power out of touch to the tension There's so many questions School's memory they seeking intelligence Control like we man is peak like Everest Using religion to deceive like terrorists Media disease got us seekin' imperative Legal highs, they don't care if they test or they dedicate Their soul sold psyche like we're the cleverest, blood [Hook] I see it all like Neo But I know that these ain't only my thoughts like Neo My generations mad tryna find the right path in the system Coming of Age in Britain (United, United Kingdom, United Kingdom) Coming of Age in Britain (United, United Kingdom, United Kingdom) [Verse 2] Scene Can't be a snail for my plan to prevail Gotta beat Royal Mail Our role models are all a paid cover fill ? Laughing at Jeremy Kyle as war prevails Finding sex on the net with a text Nick she connects don't care less a mans' nows her ex ? Relationships are borrowed Sounds like corrow ? I'm not perfect we've been taught to be hollow In these tower block suburban states EDL-race immigration debates E not pounce a man will relate But greedy bankers made this country deflate I'm fine when I rhyme got hairing on my time Beats get angry and shifting to grime Understand this and you'll understand why Everybody's on a hype Like GTA 5 In dark rooms listenin' foreheads' glistening Cold cough don't care what language you're spittin in For a reload man say they gon' kill a kid Like a gyro form oi go fill him in This is when I knew I weren't fitting in Living say sickening Hard to be real when we've all got an image thing Not third world but insane what we're living in Staring at the rich makes us shake like Ritalin I've written it need advice like Google Can't find my dad tried Google P like they any chest falling through dude ? Being young and skin with hype on your noodle? Hanging on jobs for a muse ain't fun Man just telling me to run with the drugs like Scarface That's like busting no john ? One reason mom moved when I was young Moved up North and they were calling me Wog Oi, but now my grades ain't flawed Still at the job centre though Buzzlight four ? On a power trip like a plug in the walls Zero in our contract bloody weight got the Force Skywalk Not with immigration in force But everyone would rather take pictures for walls And talk WhatsApping agents tryna benefit fraud? Here with the pen tryna draw your attention Spark you enough like a car battery ending But to fit in many par their intentions? Staring into computers till they turn against us
