Story of the Pauper
People are being made redundant Some of my friends and family are amongst them And everybody's family depends on a lump sum But some ain't gonna see a salary when the month's done How you gonna tell a kid he aint got to rob When the only role model he has just lost his job Unemployed without another choice Heading down the same path he tried to make his son avoid Jobseekers allowance aint for everyone We grown, there's no power in a pellet gun You tryna tell a na that's a breadwinner Forget dinner and he'll do things he's never done It's the story of the pauper The rich get richer and the poor get poorer But don't get me wrong Three out of ten will cross the border And be out the ends, but still it weren't a shortcut I understand what it took to do that How Naomi Campbell had to look to do that What Levi Roots had to cook to do that The kinda weight the top shottas had to push to do that What kinda singer Diz had to get on a hook to do that And when you're tryna push out of the same place you come from Everybody has a goal, and pulling you back So it's bullet proof this, and bullet proof that And I don't expect those from outside the slums to understand this How you gonna relate? Your mum and dad's rich Welcome to my ends, it's gully And none of us are getting no inheritance money What's your life like round here? I bet everything's honey Yeah we all got problems, but I bet yours has never been the money 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Wait, I don't know you so I shouldn't pass judgement Vice versa, but sometimes assets confine a person You ain't gotta tell me that you're rich cos I know you are Your life is perfect – is that why you turn your nose up at the lower class? Or is your life just as fucked as mine behind the curtains? But you don't wanna show it cos you've got an image to uphold I know, but when you come home, you unload, stress Staring in the mirror like 'I'm so depressed' And now you wanna jumbo to jet, yeh I get it Cos I feel like that six out of seven days And that's why a na be addicted to lemon haze Listen when I'm spittin' a system is devil-made The government have got the nation brainwashed A close friend of mine just left the Caribbean When he got here he said he shoulda stayed in Barbados I could explain but I'd rather let you read between the lines Yo don he switched the brain on You can't even read the signs, where's your brain gone? What can I say dawg? The truth lays beneath the lies But it's like I'm tryna lead the blind And they would rather remain lost. Forever in the rat race Life ain't getting no better and it's facts mate So I'm lighting up the lemon on a bad day And as I let the zoot settle in my ashtray I'm thinking of all the terrible things man-made Things that caused this inevitable rampage I'm hoping I ain't got vegetables for a fanbase
