Gritty Lyrics by Deep Green

Down 5 Up 6 Mixtape

0

[Verse 1 - Big Watch]
Feeling like we've never had an option
I was staring at them 110's, I knew I couldn't cop them
This year I've had less money than problems
So what then? Nah really, so what then?
Long nights, no weed, I stayed up and pondered
Thinking on connect so I can be a wrong'un
Tryna make that right move but they blocked them
Cah this the street ish, straight out of the fox den
Let them hate my dargy, I don't stop them
It's Big Watch, even I don't watch them
I don't let 'em tick cah I clock them
Where on Earth were they when you want them?
Violations, you can't let that slide
Cold tell 'em, blud we ain't them guys
We've never been that type
Mummy told me "Don't go outside"
I tell 'em "Don't go outside" cah more time it's just envy and hatred
Watch 'em shape shift all becah you went from Balmain to basic
It's gritty where I come from
It's gritty where I'm from hence the clartings and shavings
I can't lie I feel immune to this pain ting
It come like I'm used to the aching
I reason with the juice and some flavours
A little rare nef for escaping
Still I work towards a brighter day
I'm sick and tired of seeing man smoke their life away
Put the knife away, you ain't really bout that life
And you can die today, I can't put it in a nicer way
Cah this that real life, we still trap and we still grind
We're still gassed and we're still hype
Nothing ain't changed, feel the real twice

[Hook - Big Watch]
It's gritty where I come from
London city's where I come from
In a gunman town full of gunmen
We don't own the blocks but we hug them
It's gritty where I come from
London city's where I come from
Gunman town full of gunmen
We don't own the blocks but we run them

[Verse 2 - Deep Green]
I remember being low, not one pence
Fake Air Max, fake 110's
It kinda felt like I was seeing life
With my eyes through the wrong lens
Then I came across a house that had one tent
Six plants that were letting off a strong scent
Ever since then I've been on job
So if you ain't talking bout guala then it's nonsense
Jakes wanna see me up in handcuffs
They wanna see me fall from the top like dandruff
I need a masseuse for my back
Just to loose up my traps, got ten bags I just bagged up
Bad luck had a nigga doing mad stuff
Going on moves, no gloves but I'm masked up
Seventeen to eighteen I was tagged up
Gassed up, just another yute with a flag blud
Gamble, grandma called me handsome
Streets saw the ugly side, always on a mad ting
Sheffield city, might find me down south but my ends still with me
I go nuts for the dough, Krispy Kreme
I'm with my day ones, imma stick with them
The game's rough as fuck
I had to smoke couple feds, had to double clutch
I've been round, I'm up now but I've been down
Whip pow in the Pyrex, make it spin round
Six ounce but it's like five and a bit now
I just took a loss, I can't quit now
I've seen a lot of shit
A lot of negative, a lot of positive
In a gunman town but I love my town
No other place that I'd wanna live

[Hook - Deep Green]
It's gritty where I come from
Sheffield city's where I come from
In a gunman town full of gunmen
We don't own the blocks but we hug them
It's gritty where I come from
Sheffield city's where I come from
In a gunman town full of gunmen
We don't own the blocks but we run them
