Small Town Livin Lyrics

Small town living on the isle next to Britain

I've been here for minute

Barely living just existing

18 years on the mission

Looking out for better living

Catholic schools full of sinning

Full of youths chasing women

Saw it all from the beginning

Never drowned stayed swimming

Never drowned stayed swimming

In a small place came a fresh face ace with a big ambition to be great

New playground and I couldn't wait just to integrate

Make some mates, gravitate, to the lifestyle of this foreign place

Play my role and then raise my stakes

The reality is life don't wait

I'll make 'em realise

Make 'em know my name

I'll make 'em realise

Big dreams before the pen hit a page before I hit a stage

Just youths running free years beyond our age

Chris, Young Roche, Big J and me

Livin life carefree, didn't think that I was different

I thought I was me

Then I saw my pigment was the source of the ignorance

Came through with the quickness

Give a fuck about a witness

Young boys with the chin checks

No breaks, no recess

Did our own thing give a damn about a prefect - never played defence

Earphones in our sleeves never heard a damn thing that the teacher said

It gets me upset, that life rolls by but our guy's in the skies

One day when the stars align young king we'll see you again in due time till then I'm

Small town living on the isle next to Britain

I've been here for minute

Barely living just existing

Eighteen years on the mission

Looking out for better living

Catholic schools full of sinning

Full of youths chasing women

Saw it all from the beginning

Never drowned stayed swimming

Never drowned stayed swimming

Life turns colder as you grow

There's things we didn't know

That's the way life goes we found out there's darkness out in this tiny town

Since back when it was pounds

There's tweakers shooting brown

Dope sales, in mass amounts

There's lies people telling and the consequences got Stefen sent to heaven it's upsetting

Lots of lessons

Outside of the classroom

Life sucks you deep like a vacuum

Full of razor blades that'll slash you

Years go by and it blast you

In the chest with some news that a vest cant protect

No ready, set, no

So many faces, ages, races used to live here and then left this place

Nothing can replace, the feeling of somebody you were G's with Knowing that the last Time You spoke was the last time you'd see him

Next day, Chris called me and told me I got vexed

Till it all just sunk in - the upset from his breath

Four down to three but from then until death we a team to the end

Four down to three but from then until death

We a team to the end

Real shit don't bend see it all through the lens

Real shit don't bend see it all through the lens

Real shit don't bend see it all through the lens

See it all through the lens
