Charlie Sloth Dub (BONUS TRACK)
Big up my brother Charlie like
Gave man a chance to shine
So this is what i had to do
I'mma give it back to you (one time)
We've been living in the darkness this long
All we had to do was switch on
Gimme one chance I'm gone
We been doing this with no help
Everybody smile now
Rockys doin' so well but they can't tell
What they don't know I'm goin' through hell
In my own home
No self control - control yourself (your small talk?)
We got no dough
We can't eat these bars
You expect me to starve
(take that dreams?) make that (green?)
Ain't no body said it would be easy (darg?)
Get you freebie, I'll see ya just see man (nar?)
'cause we out tryna beat these marquees
My people are the only thing that keep me barking
I show love before hate (hate)
Does that make me an easy target
I don't run around screaming we be the hardest
We be the ones who don't see regardless (or think we heartless?)
From back in the day when the peoples army started
We puttin' the tears
Puttin' the love
Puttin' the fear
Puttin' the sweat
Puttin' our blood and then we put our heart in
They say there's no hope for an underground artist
But we kept pushing regardless
I remember back when jack still had that red Vectra
We were sittin' in the front seat
Listenin' to freedom of speech
Mad pissed lookin' for the answers
Man i told them i would never be as good as the past
And he turned round an answered
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win yeah
You can change if you try
Its only impossible (record scratching)
It's only impossible in your mind
You're responsible for your life
Every obstacle ins the way
All you gotta do is just climb em
Its like I'm talkin' to Mic here
Sometimes i think its impossible being Righteous
I ain't so philosophical when i been irresponsible
Everything all teary and i nearly lost it all
With no one left to blame but myself
Its my fault - it ain't too late
You call logical
YES this is what i call historical
Whats that a lotta talk
They don't know the kinda problems that were gonna cause
Even the most stable need a little bitta support
But with that bitta support
Were gonna kick off the doors like this is the war
You keep us in the pool while they live in the water
Keep on chillin' 'cause we're bringin' the storm
They ain't seen this before
I make the tiny little hairs on the back of their neck stand up on end
Rap like I'm back but I'm back from the dead
Rep for the ends
Plus I'll never fall cause the walls what my backs up against
Yeah if you real you have to respect it
That's why charlie sloth is my bredrin
Any body bars 'im off ill dead
Them no pretendin'
I sent a text that said this but its pendin'
Rules are made to be broken
Who can't say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible
It ain't so easy bein' righteous
Especially when you come from a community as deprived as mine is
And you put your trust in the government
Who are to busy fightin' to come and guide ya
Put you in a vicious cycle
Push you to one side and you sit there in silence
In a bitter society fulla people fighting amongst each other and dying violently
I sit there and think of how righteous i would be if i let that slide
Ride for the people that got left behind
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible in your mind one time
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible in your mind one time
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible in your mind one time
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible in your mind one time
Rules are made to be broken
Who can say that we won't win
You can change if you try
Its only impossible in your mind one time
Big up my brother charlie like
Gave man a chance to shine
And now i give it back to you so this is what i had to do
