Crash and Burn

Sup I’m Pav it’s nice to meet you I just tryn’a have a life that’s peaceful Half of these righteous man evil Veiled up pious plans I see through They say don’t bite the hand that feeds you You’re chasing likes from random people Everything I see is telling me that we ain’t equal Everything you see that the beast is a prequel You should take note, don’t care if you paid your straight broke Good man badman I could play both Brown kid nice school was a scapegoat Used to get on the way home Every day getting baited by plainclothes They trace every way that your wage goes Round here every day is the same old And you can stay woke till the day close Stay woke till the cows come home Stay hopin’ the crowds won’t notice and they won’t You’re still at damn slave to the payroll After tax what you take home Are you really yammin that Waitrose You in Tesco’s buying chemicals that you feed the kids That’s how they make clones Sometimes I think about The old days (yeah) But it don’t mean a thing Lord knows I’m trying best as I can (yeah) To keep the faith alive Sometimes I think about The old days (yeah) But it don’t mean a thing a thing Lord knows I’m trying best as I can I’ve been raised by these streets But I’m gonna be a better man Backs broken our chests ache Black smoke in our chestplates Thick lines in these stressed faces Like deep trenches in cleft clay We stand soakin’ in acid rain Off the chemtrails they’re like fat veins Red streaks in that dusk sky Overlooking these packed trains Half the lifetime of the average man Stuck at the wheel in a traffic jam Live to work or you work to live Is your life really theirs to give? Full control on your breathing Those guys take it all for no reason Now you need things just to fill the hole Corporations stay beaming --- Crash and Burn - Foreign Beggars
