Artist Database: S > Skinnyman > Council State Of Mind > Little Man Part 1 Lyrics
Council Estate Of Mind by Skinnyman is one of the most well respected home grown hip hop releases to ever hit the streets, the album features a total of 15 tracks.
The album has samples through-out from 'Made In Britain' released in 1982 which Tim Roth starred in, the made for TV film is about a guy named Trevor who is a teenage skin head being lectured during the entire film by his social worker. The film focuses around Trevors upbringing with anger issues about being brought up in a council estate lifestyle.
The albums single is titled 'I'll Be Suprised' is a great example of skinnyman at work, the subject matter in a jist reflects a story of one nights worth of a violent gang war. The album has two great uplifting tracks titled 'Council Estate Of Mind' and 'Thats What Im Gonna Do' which showcase persistence of a council estate mindset.
Little Man Part 1 by Skinnyman
Little Man Part 1 Lyrics
- So now the Little Man's caught by the feds
- He's in a cell in he the parrow state
- Straight from the judge's courtrooms to the prison gates
- Sittin' in a sweatbox thinkin', he has to ride an eight
- Sittin' in a jail cell just eatin' food and pushin' weights
- Gettin' straight, hopin' his parole board can set a date
- Everyday he's made to just sit a wait makes him full of hate
- It makes the Screws with fuck me attitudes
- Leaves him baffled and confused, not knowin' what to do
- What path to choose or how he's gonna follow through
- Feelin' like the systems only set out for him to loose
- He's black-eyed, goes to his garden in the crack house
- Knocks on the door of the flats and pulls the gat out
- Shot the dealer in his chest, blew the brothers back out
- Said that, "I'm the big dog now" and chased the cats out
- To chat 'bout murderous ways that he would act out
- A brother rolled in money, so he beat him 'til he blacked out
- Took him to his mothers yard, bandaged up his yat’s mouth
- Tied the brother to the chair and pulled the baseball bat out
- He took the slack route, that was really his decision
- His freedom of will has left him with the life he's livin'
- So now Little Man, we see that look in your eyes
- Now that your beatin' and defeaten, institutionalised
- I said Little Man So, we see the look in your eyes
- Now that your beatin' and your defeaten, institutionalized
