Day To Day Basis Lyrics

Day To Day Basis by Skinnyman

• "So Skinnyman, now that you've signed a deal with talkin loud and your
• currently Recording your album, how's this altered your lifestyle...? "
• (Let me play this one, tell you exactly how it is in Finsbury
• Cause in my life, ain't nuttin nice... check it blud...)

• Nowadays I live my life on a day to day basis
• Cause everybody in the whole fam's got cases
• Roamin the streets that are full of the screw faces
• Resortin us back to the blocks that are on the stair cases
• We hope we don't get to face the bases
• Who wanna try erase us to take the papers, laterz
• To what my whole council estate is
• Dwellin on the city on top of these sky scrapers
• Me? I keep a watch over the whole of my acres
• From those who wanna take us from 5'0's to fakers
• Cause all were tryin'a be is money makers
• So we might have had a chance to escape from some of these derelict places
• Were livin life at fast paces
• It's like were gutter rats tryin'a contend these rap races
• So best to tighten up your laces
• Cause this year I'm steppin up a year to fast for you to chase us
• You think id wanna stick around this town
• And have to wait for a crackhead to beat my mum down
• To get a phone call sayin just bring your money now
• By any little fassy with a bucket runnnin round
• I don't love the sound of what those haters wanna do to me
• That's why I'm not givin them any opportunity
• For me it's not about all of the money and the jewellrey
• Survival of the fittest-it's life so now it's you or me
• And I don't wanna move away from the flats
• But that's they only way for me to get away from these cats
• I sit and wonder why the fuck it has to be like that
• And wonder it would have been like if we blew up in rap
• But that's a dream and me I put reality first
• And yeah it's real that these fiends wanna steal your mums purse
• Does it seem, the whole of this manor is cursed
• Like the bubble is boilin and just waitin to burst
• This generations gettin worse-these yoot man are comin up
• Nuttins out there for 'em so they just don't give a fuck
• And they gettin to lose so then,
• they're out on streets late nights confused again
• You put your feet in
• Their shoes for them
• And you see what you can do for them
• And you too might screw for them
• And this ain't really nuttin new for them
• A man like you will probably label them a hooligan
• To live good or bad, but me I'm mud cause the hood is bad
• Dressin in rags on the 'ags, you know my hood is mad
• We worry bout gettin beat up or stabbed
• Now we worry bout the man that's come to shoot up the ave'
• The dreams we used to have are gone
• For those hopes are basic needs
• were in the bottom of the barrel tryin'a fight for lifes necessities
• Those older man who's takin time to give advice to me
• Tryina show me just how nice my life could be
• With me id like to share the vision
• But all I see is man on a mission
• My streets are full of friction
• And you can check my diction
• It gets deep everywhere that you go
• Cause there's snakes everywhere in every ghetto you go
• Wo wo...
