has it come to this?

original pirate material

yer listening to the streets

lock down your aerial

make yerself at home

we got diesel or some of that homegrown

sit back in yer throne

turn off yer phone

cos this is our zone

videos

televisions

64's playstations

weigh up a henry with precision

few herbs and a bit of benson

but don't forger the rizla

lean like the tower of pisa

liza

i'll raise yer

and this is the day in the life of a geezer

for this ain't a club track

pull out yer sack and sit back

whether you white or black

smoke weed

chase brown

or toot rock

we're on a mission

support the cause

sign a petition

summon all your wisdom

the music's a gift from the man on high

the lord and his children

triple teenyear rudeboys

come rain or snow the buddha flows

you don't know?

stand on the corner watch the show

cos life moves slow

sort yer shit out then roll

sex

drugs 'n' on the dole

some men rise

some men fall

i hear ya call

stand tall now

has it come to this?

original pirate material

your listening to the streets

lock down your aerial

i'm just spitting

think i'm ghetto?

stop dreaming

my data's streaming

i'm giving your bird them feelings

touch yer toes and touch the ceiling

we walk the tightrope of street cred

keep my dogs fed

all jungle all garage heads

gold teeth

valentinos and dreads

now

we were verbally slapped up

physically tip-top

spinally ripped up

i do the science on my laptop

get my boys mashed up

your listening to the streets

you'll bear witness to some amazing feats

bravery in the face of defeat

all line up and grab yer seat

cos tony's got a new motor

sr nova driving like a joyrider

speeding to the corner

yer mother warned yer to sound system banger

has it come to this?

original pirate material

your listening to the streets

lock down your aerial

my underground train runs from mile end to ealing

from brixton to boundsgreen

my spitting's dirty my beats are clean

so smoke weed and be lean

i step out my yard through the streets

in the dead heat all i got my spirit and my beats

i play fair don't cheat

and keep the gangsters sweet

turn the page

don't rip it out at yer age

move to the next stage

lock the rage inside the cage

like sk it's new day

but don't take the shortcut through the subway

it's pay or play

these geezers walk the gangway

deep seated urban decay

deep seated urban decay

rip down posters alight

from last weeks big garage night

and the next tyson fight

i cook em at 90 degrees fahrenheit

and don't copy the copyright

i got em in my sites

blinding with the lights

taken to dizzy new heights

blinding with the lights

blinding with the lights

dizzy new heights

has it come to this?
