Greatest Story Never Told Lyrics
Greatest Story Never Told by Chester P
Greatest Story Never Told Lyrics
Year of Release: 2008
- As a kid, I didn’t really do much
- I went school, all I did is play two touch
- In the break times cigarettes were twosed-up
- With yoots who abused my shoes ‘cos they ain’t new, but
- My Mum and Dad never knew about the part where
- You can’t wear the clothes that your brother wore last year
- And in my class there was times I could pass tears
- I passed fears and I learned to be a fast br’er
- ‘Cos when I come home all battered up and bruised again
- I couldn’t tell my Mum that they were picking on my shoes again
- And Mum and Dad they were fighting over loot again
- There wasn’t any food and all the money’s went on booze again
- And I was young and depressed trying to live and die
- Didn’t want to talk, all I’d ever do is sit and write
- It’s either that or I’ll be out trying to nick a bike
- With a couple cats who want the money just to lick a pipe
- I’m sick of life, too young to try and get a job
- Sick of telling God how I’m longing to be better off
- And tellin’ posh kids, “Your rings, blood, get ‘em off”
- To tell the truth I felt like I’d said enough
- We hit a phase where we all used to run with blades
- Underage doing pills in the jungle raves
- We was living out the pains of our younger days
- The broken homes, the abused and the runaways
- I don’t sleep well at night – and it’s no surprise
- I still see dead friends when I close my eyes
- I still play back the scenes of my own demise
- We was young tryin’ to lead out a soldier’s life
- Then I started hangin’ round with some older guys
- Dedicated to devestatin’ open mics
- We was fresh from the street and straight in it like
- Jump on the stage getting’ booed ‘cos my skin is white
- Next month went back and I’m still as white
- But when I rapped, they clapped ‘cos my skill is tight
- My reputation was fierce, I battled many men
- I’m from the Bury, da Bury and so we bury dem
- And in the cream of the crop I lived the Muddy Fam
- In it for the love of the game and not the money man
- And we was working the caves and sittin’ bunnin’ grammes
- Night came working the stage for half a dozen fans
- Another chapter in The Greatest Story Never Told
- Another merit we inherit from the pen I hold
- And we develop for a minute then the vision’s stalled
- And I was there throwin’ weed over prison walls
- We was deep in the street and deep poetry
- Back when the Mud Fam was Skinnyman, and Mo and me
- We’re selling weed from the morning till I go to sleep
- Comin’ up with new techniques just to show I’m deep
- And me and Farms we decide to divide the throne
- MacBaynes’ came along and took the title hold
- We put our voice to the outdoors on Lowlife
- Brainz was a nice guy we want to help him grow like
- Keep the money man, it came from our souls like
- Put it in your business, we’ll earn from our shows right
- And we ain’t rich but we dedicate our art to love
- He took the money now his memory his hard to jog
- He talks politics, talks like his heart is God’s
- But at the same time he’s ripping all his artists’ off
- I got disheartened, I didn’t wanna work no more,
- I wasn’t sure how to figure out my worth no more
- I go on tour to pay bills but I’m dirty poor
- I know they know when it’s time I’m gonna burst their door
- And every rhyme that I write is rehearsed for war
- Fully versed, I emerge with a thirst for more.
