Riot Rhymes

Verse 1:

Right now, I'm feeling like this city's gone-to-the-dogs

Watching the ominous-fogs

Rising from-molotovs

Buses set alight, houses bombed-by-the-mobs

And these prats wanna blame the riots in London-on-jobs ?

Please, I've known a number of guys-who-are-broke

Myself included, who ain't fillin the skies-full-of-smoke

It's just a bunch of excuses, and lies-to-provoke

This shit further, go sniff some more lines-of-your-coke

But It's deeper than this shit, course the rioting-ain't-helping

But they're just the product of a society-that's-melting

Inevitably when you're trying-to-mix-wealth-in

With poverty, thats why I try defiantly-to-tell-them

Can't change where you're from, how you're raised

Can't change how much your mother gets paid

Can't change the mentality that's drilled in your brains

But over time if you try, you can change the darkness of your days

You wern't born criminally-obsessed

Just stuck in this mess

Subliminally-repressed

By your thoughts, wise words you cynically-reject

Surrounded by fake gangstas and silly-little-skets

What? think cause I ain't a prick myself I don't-know

How fucked this mentality is, how the roads-go ?

Seen enough of my mates go down these cold-roads

Rather not buy their own baby clothes for a coke-dose

Kids feeling that having hope-is-a-fallacy

Brainwashed and loosing scope-from-reality

Now they're on the streets to provoke-total-anarchy

These ends have even had me feeling close-to-insanity

So can I really judge them that-harsh ?

Yeah I can. The little fucking rats-asked

For it when they left innocent peoples flats-charred

Just like they did when they stabbed teens just to act-hard !

I ain't talking to the pikeys-in-JD's

Smashing up shops for some Nikes-or-maybe

An i-Phone

This mentality cyclone

Spreading like a disease is the reason for my-tone

Yeah there's problems with the global-economy

And too many reside in what's supposedly-poverty

But you live off benefits, posing-all-solemnly

As if the situation is closed-and-not-voulantary

Acting like you're fighting for a real-cause

There's people in countries whose houses ain't got real-doors!

Rioting because they ain't had meals-four

Days in a row, And you still talk like you're in real-wars ??!

Haha, I'm the first-to-admit

This system's fucked, but you man are just stirring-the-shit

Don't care, You're too busy burning-away

Not thinking that consequential burdens-await

Think you where hard done by police?

You just gave them more powers to scrape the street with your teeth !

But you probably ain't even hearing my speech

So fuck it. I'm done, do what you want. Peace
