Come To East [Refix]

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know you see me in East London More than the place that I come from Might catch a bly in the AM But niggas lose lives when the sun's gone I'm from East Ham, E6 Where it's bank scam, [?], weed lick And the tax man ain't seen me since Might flex with the East shit You can't finesse her if she came from my block Grew up 'round wronguns, all the game's been clocked From Bethnal to Manor Park, I've been on my feet With the Gs, I know new school dons who been keeping up greeze But I'm from the old school like Barking Road yap Chinese Tony, Ian and that Outside [?] Griminal When we had talent but the money was minimal I would bump Ps and Qs with no p for qs Only started a line 'cause I needed to On the block looking at the skyline And I saw Canary Wharf, that was more reason to I want big business, I want more paper My ends set the trends, they all take part Streets blazing, skengs, I'm ducking low in Chris Street 'Cause the feds can't catch this heat [Hook] If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G [Verse 2] Yeah Priory park, I pull up and check still if West Ham's gone But mandem defended the ends well, my gang strong Probably chilling with your ex, checking her mates None of us looking for love, just a way to a rave That's how it goes, even the yats are ready to Swing man on the dance floor, checking your bling I said, what d'you reckon's the ting? We got bats and gats like gracious came, we're mocked out ready for anything Trapped in a cycle Beefing niggas that are tapped on a rival And some will not make it out of East London Where poverty's on the rise, you'll probably rob your own blood, I can see it in your eyes Youts don't wanna listen, academic decline in Walthamstow last week where a boy died It's cracking in Hackney, and Newham's been fried Beefing for territory, respect and pride It was like this 10 years ago, but now there's more knives More youngers ready to dip and hop in a ride Then get sent to OT for country life Pray for East London For the women and children, anybody who got raised in East London Life's hard it ain't safe in East But we're still proud - [Hook] If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G [Verse 3] I was on the block, I didn't really have a clue then Now I understand the ends a little better, I can see through the negative Stephen Lewis got stabbed outside the anti, knife crime, we're vetting it Started all the madness - that was 2009 Since them times, pure blood blattered I remember, looked his killer in the eyes Saw the villain in his eyes, he was tryna beef me My stress started when I got rushed by my own friends and called down niggas from E3 'Cause after I wrapped him, the whole ends turned against me and I couldn't even walk around freely Ended up getting nanked by some Plaistow yute tryna put MH on a CV Thank God I didn't die, mumma needs me True, I brought up myself, I were cheeky Love it or hate it But if I spit it all the ghetto kids rate it I'm only rapping 'bout my day-to-day basis Can't say music's to blame if they load up and go blazing My postcode makes starts like Kano and Max I was stuck in the flats and I really couldn't take it Shout out to my East London legends If the world don't know, somebody gotta tell them [Hook] If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G If you come down to East You will see How hard life can be For a G
