One West LDN
...yo...
..from da basement, i rise to the limits/
push da boundarys, for thos who shoook, & too friggin timid/
i bin ciphering for years, watchin recycled gimmicks/
ni66as hittin da top ten, den its back gutter living//
gutter spittin gravel, battling/
dese manufactured mannikins/
animalistic additives, are killin my fam/
its like, lifes designed to kill u, deres a million plans/
im pissed my generation wont march, wit a million mans//
in stead we lookin 4 a million grams/
strait consign/
cos thugs wit no money, aint got even less time/
logic gets reversed, everytime the seasons revolve/
ni66as sellin out, like da code is supposed to be told/
olders laid da foundation, but the stories built above/
crumble from the top down, like nine-one-one/
or implode like 7/7, LDN aint gheto heaven/
if i make it thru da darkest days/
thank u for my weapon//
im a real guy, most ni66as are fienin for titles/
Rae said it da best/
"rap is boring, ni66as need a new idol"/
but i aint tryna walk in dem shoes/
mine are loose enough already, my ankles gettin bruised/
never lose without respect, never die without honour/
if dat means i gotta get my face, scarred up wit commas/
ill take dem cuts, an write a 100 bars too em/
cos pain is someting ive become accustomed to, ur brewin//
cos u aint rich, me too, im tryna clock dem papers/
i was religious, but 2decades is too long to wait for saviours/
bless me wit ur patience, big heart, and wisdom of kings/
den dump me in da hood, where my choice is, die or sling/
i choose cubb rocks, no wood box, an face my fate/
i cant deny, my palms are sweaty, an my hearts bout to break/
cos da pressures of life, will slowly take control/
no matter how my physical folds, cant break my soul//
