lyrics

(ExP)
When the, three combine to speak our minds/
We seek to redefine with a new lease of life/
So be polite, and leave behind the need to find/
Cracks and creases in a piece we write/
We survive through the needless hype/
Cos teens lead the fight for who fails or succeeds tonight/
When you listen to the radio and scream it's shhh…/
We understand man it's flippin’ egregious right?/
But yo see, it's fine, we don't need that side/
We're all fellas with a job or two that lead our lives/
And do this cos we love it and we need to type/
A verse or two on Macs or PCs alike/
Cos there's very little out there that we hear and like/
Add our own to the mix, to be clear it's pride/
If you don't hear it fine, it'll disappear in time/
But honestly…it's less for your ears than mine\\

Simile emcees, with either pittance or degrees/
Become a bit of a disease and sound so similar to me/
...Every single lyric seems a setup to the next pun/
Every single track promotes smoking or they get drunk/
Every single verse makes out women to be pests and/
Only good for sex and movin’ on no question/
So tense hip-hop you've gotta be uptight/
Make sure you look right, and you Facebook nice/
Livin’ that middle class thug life, think you're Suge Knight/
And every bar they spit contains the word “like”.../
Honest to God, I can see why more often than not/
People are droppin’ off cos there's no proper hip-hop/
You hate ‘em for turning their back but what you're offering's not/
What they wanted, it's some top of the pops nonsense so stop/
There's an obvious plot to feed you the horrible broth/
They concoct in their cauldrons while you swallow the lot//

(Addverse)
Well some people seem surprised when I mention I rhyme/
Like they don’t expect a rapper to be pleasant and nice/
It seems I’ve got twice the manners of the average guy/
If you believe in the media and buy into the hype, so I/
Blaze up a Big L for the stereotype/
Not talking music, talking more about the berries I light/
I’m definitely high when I try and tune in with this though/
Never find me bumping and grinding down at the disco/
Cos only soul and passion could ever move me/
I never try and front like my life is a massive movie/
I keep it true see, I remain Superfly/
Lucy in the sky - while diamonds shine in my eyes/
So watch how we rise, Flame Griller fire flies/
Higher than an A380 flying through the skies/
So you can scrutinise, and even try and mug us off/
But then you’d be a victim of the reasons why the love is lost//

(JND)
You can try too hard to be summat you're not/
But you weren't meant to blend in as one of the flock/
Work for the weekend int the cut of our cloth/
We put in graft for our loved ones to cover the costs/
But most rappers are bums though/
They've cash for the wraps, still bask in the blunt smoke/
And all the while as they're lacking the funds for/
Anything but more than that in their lungs or/
A bag at the front door/
That's if they home deliver/
If they don't, they're prolly outside and known to shiver/
And those that's getting paid by it: few and far between/
And some'll never make it, for us this art's the dream/
I call it art because it's that to me/
These words I piece together, only hope that you can catch the meaning/
If you don't, I won't be losing sleep/
Cos when I write a verse to music, well it's something that I do for me//
