Imagine if i showed u 1 day i was leavin da hood, Wud u call me a sell out, wud u say its all good? Wud u folow if u cud? Or wud u jus tell me get da hell out?
And imagine if i showed u dat id found another way of gettin dough wiv out doin dirt, Lets blurt, wud u love me 4 givin u sum hope? Or ressent me coz ur pride got hurt?
Imagine if we never grew up on a council estate, An was country manor raised, wiv a spoon in our mouth, Wud we still b makin fuss about da east an da south? Wud we shiver at da robberys, murder an da crack? An thank god dat we didn hav 2 live like dat, Jus an image on da tv as were comftarbly sat, Sippin wine room lit by da summer sunshine, Not a worry in da world as we cash will e chat? Oblivious 2 how we wud b livin on da flipside, No experience, not a clue about a ruff ride, No harrassment, no boy dem on our back side, Dat'd b amazin still!
But i no u wonder wud it make u any less real? Wats da current spot ur standin in, offerin, If u had a better offer wud u go 4 da kill? Snap out of ur day dream, how do u feel?
Does it all seem worthwhile 4 ya? Try an put it in perspective, Retrospective of ur profile an ur honour, Do u wana hang about or are u a goner?
Come along fink fast, decision time, Uve been livin in da grime, don u wana climb? Da ladder of life, da wall of enlightenment, Or are u lookin 4 da hype an excitement, Coz deres so much drama in da LDN, Its kinda hard tryin 2 find legal money 2 spend, Generation, genocide look possible, Da rate at which we drew up 4 da sken, An pretend, dat we dont no who da real enemy is, Who shud we hold responsible, instead we offend, A couple square metres of pavement in da endz, Wat wud we acchieve my friends?
