Council Estate Of Mind Lyrics

Council Estate Of Mind by Skinnyman

• Talkin' 'bout the science of social deprevation
• From 'ere to whereever in the council estates the mans is strugglin'.
• The poor lower working class.

• Blud, you got to sleep round here and have nightmares,
• Wake up and find the worst reality is right there
• The difference is, in my dream's I'm always runnin' scared,
• But in reality, on road, I'm comin' prepared
• So now who's gonna wanna run up and become a gonner
• Everybody's gonna wanna get us, but they're on a longers
• I'm still out to get the same cats from last summer,
• But man can't see them again,It's like they've done a runner
• I'm still in the same mannor, on the same number
• And everybody knows where I'm at and what I'm under
• I'm in the same slums, raisin' the funds
• In the city where the yute man are blazin' the guns
• Just look how this United Kingdom has come
• Within the council estates where man'll fight over crumbs
• We got young single parent mums
• Havin' the hardest time tryn'a survive for their daughters and their sons
• Be comin' out their yutes, cause their yutes are left out there
• Raised on the ways of these streets without care
• Now we're havin' our fair share of gun warefare
• And it's all gone nuts and that's just cause it's poor here
• People want more here,We're all on the floor here
• It's raw here, can't even sleep and ignore here
• Cause life's kinda militant,Stuck in the grime
• Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

• We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times
• Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds

• I live amongst smashed syringes, Squatters' doors hangin' off the hinges
• Hookers lookin' money for Bobby, shottin' their minges
• Leavin' used condoms out on the staircases
• Next to the broken pipes that's left by the Base Heads
• Local estate heads, have grown up to hate Feds
• Kids with no helmets drivin' round on some bait peds
• Abandoned cars are at the bottom of the block
• So when it's pissin' down,Kids have got a place to plot
• To cotch and blaze pot,And watch this whole spot
• Full up of lost souls with no goals who get left to rot
• And what, I don't expect you to ever comprehend is
• Why I got all actin' so self defensive
• The neighbourhood shotters have all seen what it's comin' to
• Local coppers on patrol are boppin' with a gun too
• So anyone could bun you, Leave and desert you
• How long they gonna mourn you when somebody murks you
• Tryin' not to get shift when shiftin' your work true
• When you wanna shift there ain't nowhere to splurt to
• The stakes are high, still the best get placed
• Tryn'a find how sweet success might taste
• In a place where everybody is tryin' to flex
• Nobody's really gettin' anywhere
• So everybody's vexed,Livin' life kinda militant
• Stuck in the grime, Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

• We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times
• Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds

• So these are lyrics for my people,Livin' on the streets who
• Know they ain't got nuttin' else to retreat to
• If you gettin' food next man'll wanna eat you
• Pure, bad beefs just to get to delete you
• So many man nowadays are so see-through
• Beware of their deceitful ways when the greet you
• Those who feel it know it because they've been through
• Times when their friends wanna switch up to beat you
• I never used to see it but,Now I got a clear view
• Don't let no bad minded heads try get near you
• If they're not on your level they'll never hear you
• Ain't no time to be shaken or fearful
• If you've been through some of this evil that we do
• A hundred Hail Mary's ain't enough to redeem you
• All of my long time friends are crack fiends
• Who have gone too far, but still say they didn't mean too
• Does alleviation through base and crack relieve you
• Everybody's losin' their mindAnd even me too
• Step into my world if you wanna catch a preview
• But don't tell a soul, cause they just won't believe you
• The life's kinda militant, Stuck in the grime
• Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind
• Life's kinda militant, Stuck in the grime
• Nothin's equivillent to this council estate of mind

• We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times
• Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds
• We know that we have been living our lives through the hardest times
• Still we know that we must keep up the faith in our hearts and minds
