Talk Is Cheap

Talk is cheap
I guess gassing on the net must be free
Talk is weak
Actions speak louder, you all know where we be
In the heart of London with some dons
Always ready for war, so if it's on then it's on
Don't bore me with threats to bore me
Got nothing nice to say? Shut your mouth and war me
SAY NOTHING
DO SOMETHING
Hated by you neeks cos we're unique
It doesn't matter when we get nothing but love from the streets
You got some real fuckin cheek to even speak
Just jumped in the game? We all 10th prestige.
SAY NOTHING
DO SOMETHING
MAN UP
Nut up or shut up bitch, I ain't on a long ting
In the streets lives get took for less than saying the wrong thing
I can be a nice guy but I got a gully side
You'd understand why if you were from the gully side
I'm in the bits, all you know is the sticks
So I couldn't give a fuck if you relate to this
Real bredders rate us, moist bredders hate us
We still do this for the love, not the papers or status

We Won't Change

Vultures circle the lair of the outcast
Can't they see we’re far from dead
Looking to pick off scraps of credibility
It’s a poor excuse for motivation and ability
A release for the pressures of anger and pain is nothing more than a public display of futility
When the original aim is replaced in search of acceptance and popularity
Just 'cause you can do it doesn't mean that you should
And even if you did, it doesn't make it any good
Attempts to clone a culture that can't be purchased
Must all be strangled at birth
A WAY OF LIFE
That can’t be tamed
Test us all you like
WE WON’T CHANGE
So from the bottom of our hearts
Fuck all of you
Who cheapen and weaken what we've dedicated decades to
While you put fuck all of you into what you do
We're building this to last and we'll trample every obstacle in our way
What we are can't be manufactured
It was born in a time you can't recreate
With heart and soul it's been grown and nurtured
Fed with our persistence and hate
A WAY OF LIFE
That time can't tame
Test us all you like
WE WON’T CHANGE

We try hard but we're no try hards
They don't have the heart to last as long as the diehards who kept this thing of ours alive
Fuck those who took from it with greed in their eyes
Look closely at those in which the underground survives
We followed our dreams and what we built still thrives
We're not looking to make it or take it elsewhere
With friends by our sides and our heads held high
We've already made it a million times
Loyal brave underdogs won't lie down and die
With pride and mistrust for the outside world
We won't surrender, we will fight
Age can't cage the rage that drives us
Or put out the flame that burns within us
LOYAL BRAVE UNDERDOGS x 4
No need to cower from our authenticity
We represent what so many claim to be
And we've worked relentlessly
What we began won’t burn out or fade away
LOYAL BRAVE UNDERDOGS x 4
Ammo:
Life betrays us, society made us bitter and jaded, but we stay strong
We're relentless, and defiant
On the outside is where we belong

Still Here

The depression is real
But I'm too stubborn for suicide
Hard headed, hard hearted
I'll keep fighting through life
As the losses build up
They seem to block out all gains
Finding it harder to love
My minds clouded by pain
It’s been over 15 years
I could still burst into tears
The pressure from past mistakes
Is almost too much to take
But not enough to push me over the edge
Just enough to have me questioning life
The same thoughts run round my head
Why does everyone I love leave or die?
I try not to dwell on the past
Wounds healed but I'm still scarred
And the burden of past regrets
Is just too much to forget
I'm still here, I ain't leaving
Hold it down for the fam while I'm breathing
I'm still here, I ain't left
Holding it down for the fam until my last breath

Identity Fraud
03:57
|
|

Nonentities, trying to be something that they'll never be,
Adopting identities vastly removed from reality
Busy creating an image that's laughable,
While their real life persona can best be described as forgettable
Fantasy life, fantastic lies, style copied from the street
But its identity fraud when you're happiest indoors, safe behind a screen
A loser re-brands themselves as a winner from the comfort of their room
It won't stand up to close scrutiny
Because for all that's claimed there’s not a shred of proof
It’s just a quest for artificial infamy
Fantasy life, fantastic lies, style copied from the street
But it's identity fraud, when you portray a side of life that you've never lived
Cheap stunts and attempts to boost your fame
Backfired now you look twice as lame
Only wanted a name for the sake of it
Nothing of value to say
You think you're turning heads, well its stomachs that turn
A turd rolled in glitter is still a turd
Wrapped in a bandana it just looks absurd
When under all the bluster is a fuckin imposter

It just takes a call, I can make the call
AND BRING THE WHOLE FUCKING TEAM OUT
x 3
LBU stay hard, ain't never went soft
We got soldiers from Croydon up to Brent Cross
From Bush to Stratford, best believe
That's a whole bag of mans to put in work for the team
Ain't no different when we get out of town
Might never have been there before, but we got mans that's down
Any issues could bring the mandem out stat
So you'd be better off to just remember that
It just takes a call, I can make the call
AND BRING THE WHOLE FUCKING TEAM OUT
x 3
LBU stay strong, ain't never been weak
Get your facts straight, think before speak
Don't like our movement, but what the fuck you done?
We've been having fun, repping where we're from from day one
So where these bredders acting like they wanna fight?
We'll these bredders by my side won't let that shit slide
And where these bredders acting like they gonna ride?
I got bredders close by, and they won't even think twice
Trust what you see, not what you’re told
Bring it to our faces if you’re feeling bold
Life's a struggle, don’t need more trouble
But we won’t hesitate to tackle any foe
WE RUCK, YOU CAN’T BEAT US
LONDON NEEDS US, FUCK THAT WEAK STUFF
G’D UP FROM THE REES UP
WANNA BEEF US? GET YOUR TEAM UP

Strong Life

Fighting a war with all my might
As the storms rage on behind my face
Mind's a frenzy of mistrust and scorn
Striving to live a strong and meaningful life
Demons within
Hell outside
Take it on the chin
I WON’T HIDE
War torn spirit
Strength within
Still I rise
NEVER GIVE IN
All these new ways to tell the world how you feel
To shame or criticize or seek approval and praise
Vanity and spite in so many eyes
Yet the same ways remain to tell what’s real
Demons within
Hell outside
Take it on the chin
I WON’T HIDE
Wartorn spirit
Strength within
Still I rise
NEVER GIVE IN
Years of dedication faith and passion
Sticking to the courage of my convictions
Integrity questioned, repeatedly proven
Too many slaves to fashion and attention
Empty words and gestures mistaken for actions
Such greed and conceit, I fail to see the attraction
So many problems have been created
For nothing more than our own amusement
Now we search in vain for solutions
So much corruption and degradation
We're on a one way path to destruction
Loyalty and pride is what I’ll teach my children
