[Intro:] What's Happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening What's Happening? You don't want to come 'round East London, you don't want to come come come... [Verse 1:] Thank God I'm alive, thank God I'm alright (thank you) 'Cause it can take a lot to survive in the dunya when the whole block's been deprived Just yesterday another yute was shot in the thigh You've got to stay mentally strong out here, before you break down and get hospitalised This is treacherous times, get your headtop skied, the mandem are dropping like flies All of the aunties are praying to Christ Look mumma don't cry The judges are sat there dishing out life, the CPS reccomend 35 If you're not ready for the war, stay inside Because all of my lifer friends really want another chance at life So, if you think you're the guy, think twice [Hook:] Is it just me, or have you been seeing what's happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening Nowadays primary schools kids, 'dem are ever so active Man could get popped in the face in a public place What's happening? I said, what's happening? [Verse 2:] Who would've thought, we would've gone from school to the courts? We were kind of naughty, but what? Criminals is a serious ting From 16 it's like we're being stalked Feds on the case, in the police station they've got pictures of all of the mandem's faces It's like they want us in jail from when we're born 80% of the mandem have got cases Home and abroad, not sure why, but the gang ting kind of seems kind of cool We ring the soldiers, arrive when they're called 'Nuff man have died for the cause Others are fighting for their lives on the ward In the blink of an eye you can end up losing it all For a long time they've had us fooled, and misinformed, but it's cool [Hook:] Is it just me, or have you been seeing what's happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening Nowadays primary schools kids, 'dem are ever so active Man could get popped in the face in a public place What's happening? I said, what's happening? [Verse 3:] I am an East born soldier Man will put bread on their beef like So Large Don't be a doughnut, look cuz he was grown up We know our rights now so they can't hop out, detain, or hold us Heavy weed smoker, the stuff's so potent nuff man that roll with us are catching bipolar Even though I'm one of the peaceful olders out here, at any given time I can go cuz The mandem all roll with revolvers, because there's too many cobras When you're in the hood you really got to stay focused, before you get your wig cracked open Caught slipping by the frontline soldiers I see the realest thugs getting so stressed Showing bare buds in the roll up Hopefully one day we will make progress [Hook:] Is it just me, or have you been seeing what's happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening Nowadays primary schools kids, 'dem are ever so active Man could get popped in the face in a public place What's happening? I said, what's happening? [Outro:] What's Happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening What's Happening? You don't want to come 'round East London, you don't want to come come come... Is it just me, or have you been seeing what's happening? You don't want to come 'round East London 'cause the [?], it's all happening Nowadays primary schools kids, 'dem are ever so active Man could get popped in the face in a public place What's happening? I said, what's happening?
