Barking Station

I see youtes on pavements outside Barking station
Zombies making payments barely holding conversation
I see preachers waving signs praying for salvation
Locals look impatient but they don't want confrontation

From the outside looking in it's a mad place we're living in
I can't change public perception I can't change the tone of my skin
Some wanna hate anyway take away anything that's ours
Out of a hat they pick a name to pin the blame and lock behind bars
To me it's crystal clear what the fuck's going on here
People in power are scared and we're victims to their fear
There's a war going on outside way worse than the bloods and crips
So I eat my chicken and chips wait for the bus to come and then dip

Locals look impatient but they don't want confrontation

As I walk passed Ripple Road cemetery
I'm reminded somewhere there's another body being buried
How they all died and the ages may vary
But when the death is unnatural that's when it gets fucking scary
They're quick to pull the trigger when they're calling you a
They're ready to attack me when they're calling me a
They're quick to pull the trigger cause you're just another
They're ready to attack me cause I'm just another

There's a million ways to die my mum did well to keep me alive
Now I'm 25 and I want to do more than just survive
I want to see success for my peers beyond their criminal careers
Right now times are hard we can't afford expensive tears
And I've got expensive taste so the bill gets longer every day
Minds become enslaved to think that there's no other way
Either work for shit pay and get treated like dirt
Or stay home on benefits like those who can't be fucked to work
