"BARS" lyrics
He got pain in his heart, murderous in his eye
Shackles on his feet, a burden on his spine
Shackles on his feet, then a burden on his mind
Where I'm from, a screwface is just a permanent disguise
We're in a time where 'Rest in Peace' ain't 'Rest in Peace'
Coming and digging graves up, I know they disturb you when you die
But when the time a mum has a lost son, say, 'If mummy had a choice to call police on you herself, 'cause she prefer you as alive'
She got a lump in her breast, baby in her womb
Needle in her arm, doctor saying, "It's too soon"
Where I'm from, it's Newham General, 10 hours in the waiting room
Two weeks of some antibiotics for a major wound
We're in a time where the vaccines are death jabs
So the doctors are the contract killers, they just finesse, man
First time I noticed that was coming from an ED scan
First it was COVID, monkeypox must be the next plan
New World Order, New World Order
How many innocent people have you helped slaughter?
There's a massacre in Africa, genocide in Palestine
If Israel's the driver, America's the passenger
Seen a poor turn a prince, I've seen a king become a scavenger
Bro took someone's wig off, now he needs a barrister
There's a judge, jury, police and camera
We on the net, they judge our jewelry and keep a tab on us
Fly trappers caught up in a web of deceit
Politicians selling dreams, I hope you've kept your receipts
The system isn't broken, bro, it works the way it's meant to
Whatever isn't for you, my sister, must be against you
Uh, don't fucking ask me who I'm voting for when my options are Cersei Lannister or Lord Voldemort
I never know who to call, all I know is the protocol
My boy, you know it's over when you see me in some overalls
In the past, I've been too accessible, too sociable, too smiley-faced, too approachable
A man will do the unspeakable
And then wonder why we haven't spoke at all
They'll break your heart and then have the cheek to say that you're emotional, yeah
I've seen a villain play the victim, bro's scared of getting married
'Cause these women play the system
See the devil play the Christian, see the snake play the dog
I've seen a mum play the dad, I've seen it separate the kids
Then I know I'm tapped because of trauma
I used to wanna trap because of Porter
Never got his wicks flat because my daughter
You see, when the bell rings, I got my family in my corner
And I keep a friend or five that I shouldn't 'cause man a hoarder
It could be 20 years ago and I be holding feelings still
You know revenge is sweet, I always have to oversee the kill
Bro done some evil, I'm just praying he don't see the veil
Trench coat and boots, I'm gonna show Dece's reveal
They say he's crazy, say he's loco
Two straps singing like they're K-Ci & JoJo
Some gyal are realer than the mandem, fuck a bro code
They'll try and kill you in your own ends, fuck a postcode
A prick said he's coming for me soon, I said, "I hope so"
Got sticks around us like some old folk
I remember faces like a GoPro
I get a pagan on my solo
Then I use his head for presentation and some promo
This is why I'm having problems finding rappers that can rap with me, you know
Back to back, they only see the back of me, you know, yeah
What the fuck you mean, "Battle me"?
I'll put the battery in the back of your anatomy
I'm plugged in differently
I be on a circuit, boy, I've touched electricity
When they wanna jump-start, they ask for me specifically
21 and I had lightning under wings
I've been critically acclaimed for over 20 years officially
Admittedly, I've always had a message, but the Lord had to deliver me
There's beauty in the painting, but the picture isn't perfect
A woman died in carnival, but she didn't deserve it
A child had to see that, it didn't have to be that
That could've been your mum, your cousin, your sister
How the fuck we get around stabbing girls now?
When a reaper wins a fight, there ain't no rematch, trust me
Do anything she can just to keep on the lights
She eats leaves for dinner just to keep on the lights
He said, "Lean on me"
East London villain, yeah, you already know
Long way from home, I'm still repping, you see me, yeah
If you feel like it's falling, lean on me
G-H-E-double-T-S, Mount Excellence, uh-huh
If you feel like it's too much, lean on me, yeah
If you feel like it's a fall, then lean on me
We on the rise
Only do anything she can just to keep on the lights
Triple J
To eat leaves for dinner, to keep on the lights
He said, "Lean on me"
I said, "Lean on me"
Ain't no me
If you feel like it's falling, lean on me, yeah
If you feel like it's too much, lean on me, yeah, trust
If you feel like it's all, then lean on me
Lean on me
Shackles on his feet, a burden on his spine
Shackles on his feet, then a burden on his mind
Where I'm from, a screwface is just a permanent disguise
We're in a time where 'Rest in Peace' ain't 'Rest in Peace'
Coming and digging graves up, I know they disturb you when you die
