Inspiration from making amazing quotations The nation's defending its life with its shields But the swords are all rusted the kingdom's been busted and the ******* are bathing in gold that they steal While the people are lying their babies are crying their rhythm is dying 'cause heartbeats are gone But they carry it trying to stop themselves crying as they can't do nothing but watch on and on As the bankers get richer the poor men get poorer the ones in the middle are learning to steal Where before they just borrowed now they got new sorrow but still they don't know that they ain't down at heel They think they are poor so they vote in the richest just hoping the ******* will keep them in funds While the genuine destitute lie in the street and the taxes are funding those twats' cummerbunds There's a baby who's crying not just 'cause she's some brat who ain't got no ice cream she's dying of cold Yes it happens in streets prob'ly near where you live it isn't just something in stories of old There are people out there in the gorbals and barrios the projects the banlieues the hoods and the schemes Where their lives are the ghetto there is no way out but to hope or to rap or to wing on a dream They ask why you ain't reading you try but it's killing you trying to provide for a family of two When your mother's alone lying slumped on the sofa and work w-w-working is all you can do When the **** do you think I'm supposed to be doing this **** that you say I cannot live without? If you listened to lyrics from songs you disparage you might start to feel an iota of doubt They're intelligent, eloquent, more so than you with your old boy school accent and ballot box blue Can you rap, can you rhyme, can you keep it in time can you tell of the **** that your family's been through? No you sit in your office and scoff at the people who spend their whole lives in a world that is real They don't give a **** if you judge them or not but they just want to shout at you FEEL, ****** FEEL
