"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "

Dizzee Rascal, Shy FX, dun kno

It's all too much fam...

Kids on the road start young these days

Walk street with a knife and gun these days

No fun these days

Do dirt, end up on the run these days

Whole lot of pain, suffering, and badness

Whole lot of madness

Too many grieving mothers and sadness

It ain't safe in the manor no more

Take one false step and you could get bored

Kids caught up in the hype and the nonsense

Do what they hear in the songs and the TV

Picking up bust and making up fuss for the sake of money cause it looks so easy

But they don't understand, they can't comprehend

Cause they're too caught up trying to rep their ends, for the reputation

And pass it on to the next generation

"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "

We're heading in to a recession

No banks, no loans, no mortgages

One step away from a depression

Can't even work out the cause of it

But everybody gotta forfeit

Wanna buy a house but they just can't afford it

And it's so unfortunate

Money lenders are extortionate

So you gotta move in with your mates or mum

Ain't gotta place of your own, now your glum, feeling dumb

It's a crowded house and you can't have fun cause when you have sex they can hear when you cum

Gotta pay council tax and it kills

Not to mention the rent and bills

And you hate how it feels

Until... you go to the club and you pop some pills

"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "

Look around everywhere is a crisis

Pure extortion at petrol prices

Cost of living is already large then they hit you with a congestion charge

8 whole sterling

Just to drive into town I'm hurting

Hole in my pocket and my wallet is burning

But I fork out from the money I'm earning

Stomach is turning

If I don't pay on the day

Gotta pay 60 pounds another day

Keeps going up every time I don't pay

Them government boy will tow it away

Still can't take the bus or the train

It's a pain in the arse and a strain on the brain

Price of a ticket is just insane

But sooner or later there's gotta be a change

"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "

So much war in the world today

Too many women and kids get blown away

I say "what's the cause of it?"

Money as usual

Poor and the innocent suffer as usual

None of it's useful, just brutal

Can't understand why there can't be truth

And the government make it necessary

To put the countries obituary

Cause war pays the bills

Doesn't matter how many innocent people killed

Just as long as pockets are properly filled

And a profit is made and they can chill

Just keepin' it real

Don't wanna blow it outta proportion

But it looks like straight up extortion

So this is a caution

Don't just stand there, do something 'bout it

This is important, this is important, this is important, this is important, this is important, this is...

"Can't tek no more of the... We can't tek no more of the... "
