Dark Ages

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] Good evening, it's Mr Roach, how you been? As for me I been easy Just out here really chasing the p's, 365 days on the street Look cuz I can't even say what I've seen Just the other day we had to lay down the deceased That was the outcome of one of the craziest beefs Even the ladies were waving machines Some got away with a graze on the knee No one totally escaped injury One boy got away in one piece, and there was one fatality It was mad apparently Everybody screaming gang at the scene, and they ran from police All this over an 8 ball of each in the broad day in East [Hook:] Is this the dark ages? (pitch black) Cuzzy, my heart's racing (it's mad) Man better start waking Are these really our pagans? Is this the dark ages? Like when they were running around stark naked (flippin' hell) Would it be a bizarre statement? To say we are in the dark ages [Verse 2:] Due to the lack of guidance we been in the hood carrying out violence Trident didn't even want to come round the bits 10 cars up and they were scared shitless of these militant kids with sticks They had to radio through for more whips, and armed forces Man had to bring the lieutenant, sergeant, anyone that was in There's a war going on where you can lose limbs You can lose your freedom because of loose lips (you can lose it) When you're on the battlefield, you can't stop shooting That's why only the ruthless get recruited It's too sick, the biggest crew wins That's just a few things Oi blud! I guess we're only human [Hook:] Is this the dark ages? (pitch black) Cuzzy, my heart's racing (it's mad) Man better start waking Are these really our pagans? Is this the dark ages? Like when they were running around stark naked (flippin' hell) Would it be a bizarre statement? To say we are in the dark ages [Verse 3:] Another body dead in the street Man were out there squeezing it off Nowadays it's like world war three Soon even you might need a machine You think you can live in your own world and act like you did see Till a body comes flying straight into your windscreen This is Hunger Games, 2018 The elders are out there, pulling out weaves There were 3 shootings just last week, but me never saw nothing on ITV It's a battleground on the London streets I see a lot of families moving to Kent They say that it's cheaper for rent But I don't think that's the reason they went They've had enough of the East End [Hook:] Is this the dark ages? (pitch black) Cuzzy, my heart's racing (it's mad) Man better start waking Are these really our pagans? Is this the dark ages? Like when they were running around stark naked (flippin' hell) Would it be a bizarre statement? To say we are in the dark ages
