Listen

Old school new school depends on the mirror

I rhyme about the time when the youts were popping pillers

Miniature shottas mini ruckas ain't got

A lot of high my hottie got a lot of

Dads were never there nobody really care

Cause we got used to it like perming black hair

So under the carpet is where it lives along with the fiddlers

Politicians and them other miscreants

I have common sense for world events

So when I hear it on the news I try to analyse the views

The body needs the proof that's why they're looking sick

Looking malnourished they should have never listened to it ay

Switch it up get it out like unruly kids

That's why I got suspended from it I was never in it

If we invented it never for your development

If you can't recognise it you ain't irrelevant

Me and my people live in tenement yards

This is the chill watcha watcha man what happened chill calm

Duppy let go of my hand for this canam jam

He's gonna get me in trouble that was a bam bam

And you don't know the half of it

I shook hands with the worry man so it's pure worry man

So I'm doing it like it's my last album

Cause nothing is guaranteed so what's the outcome

I doubt we are with them we never roll with them

Never catch them chilling with them other villains

I prefer the ones who do it out of need rather than greed

Know what I mean

I recognise the pain and the will

And overstand that it's a shitty deal

But ain't blind whatever we keep it real

Keep giving it until them until they will listen

I know they think that we're dumb (listen)

You bet I know I ain't the one (listen)

I don't believe what they say (listen)

Can't you tell I don't play (listen)

And they can say what they like (listen)

Hide the facts with the lies (listen)

But if you feel it in your heart (listen)

When they say that you can't (don't listen)

Everyday we try to find a way

Now you better be afraid

Of what we got to say

Cause when we get it together ay

It's a problem ay it's a problem

We glorify and glamorise the popular

The popular ting can get you kind of popping

You be saying nothing she showing it all

Lyrics cut through nothing to fools with blunted tools

Certain sounds I can't mess with

Cause the science of the sound got me screwing up my brow

I'm not sure how but I trust my own instincts

Long as I'm here must be benevolent extinct

So instinctively I push from the pagans

Kind of like a doctor prescription

Cause all I need to do is boost adrenaline

Just give me some sunshine and good food and all the elements

It's pretty much becoming prevalent

And these people are pretending that they're saying

Something when they ain't saying nothing at all

From the window to the wall we brought greatness to twenty feet tall

I caught the feeling caught the spirit caught the vibe

You must admit the spirit to it come alive

I never fake I never tell you no lies

What's done in the dark will come to the light

So keep your stories I am not a child

I'm a big grown woman with a big grown life

While they're pissing on kids and beating up their wives

I talk about the mothers that are sucking on the pipe

I talk about the kids with no voice out of sight

Running a fire through the power of the night

I ain't got time I'm trying to do it all tonight

I'm listening to Pac thinking he's the proper tribe
