Behind Barz Lyrics by Krept & Konan

Link Up TV Freestyles

2011

[Intro: Konan, Krept]
Yeah
Link Up TV, Number one for talent and entertainment
Dun'kno, Krept
Behind Barz right now
Konan, Behind Barz
Link Up
Dun'kno it's all love
Tsunami, out now
Hold tight the Play Dirty camp
Dun'kno what it is already
Krept Show them
Yeah, listen
[Verse 1: Krept]
Who do you believe in? Allah
How do you praise him? Salah
And why do you stray him? Gwolla
Music, Fitna, Ama
Out tryna rake in butter
Man, what a sucker, 'cause I know it's Haram, ah
Gotta get from the road to Islam, ah
But I'm from the roads where it's hard ta
South London, also known as the Gaza
Where Muslims would rather listen to Tha Carter
Than wise words from the noble Qu'ran, ah
It is a disaster
We replaced Kufis and Thobes for that Dolce Gabana
Subhanahu wa ta'ala, InshAllah
Have mercy on those without Shahadah, [InshAllah]
I swear the Dean's got what no one has to offer
But we chase the Dunya still, and not the hereafter
See a buff gal, brothers racing to chat her
Or they racing to Napa
But ain't racing to Jan'ah
I'm just raising the matter
And man'll wake up for Ana, but they won't wake up for Fajr
You should wanna throw stones at the Qibla
Instead man wanna throw crow in the Rizla
Or roll in the ringer, close to the trigger
And take your soul out your figure
My westernised ways got me losing my balance
This westernised place got us moving like Kafars
Me without sinning, hard to imagine
But I don't wanna join Shaytan in Jahannam
Astarfirullah, I should be practising Sunnah
But I'm out here, trapped in the Dunya
Instead of splashing more, I actually shoulda
Sent money abroad, gave back to my Ummah
But I blame the roads, mad ting
I grew up around fuckeries happening
You ain't seen a man's insides 'cause of shankings
You ain't seen a mans brain's blown from a handting
Couple older brothers used to give man metal too
And say "When you do the ting, it's this you're menna do"
Bath in petrol to rid the residue
It's no lies, real shit I'm telling you
Fifteen when I first fleed from a M
Fifteen when I first beat on a ...
And that's Wallahi talk, I've been on the ends
This is all from the heart, I don't need to pretend
Couple older man are washed, ediats them
Stuck on the block, I ain't tryna be one of them
The hoods got man 6 deep or in pen
Got my niggas wishing for their freedom again
I'm really sorry ma, all those times I was stupid
Had the feds running in the house 'cause of shootings
I made you cry a lot, all that shite I was doing
You knew about the gang ting, that's why you were screwing
I promised I'll do Uni for you, and I won't break it
I don't even do it for myself, you know I hate it
But I said I'll make it up to you, so I'll be patient
'Cause you know I got another dream and I'ma chase it
I know you more than miss me
'Cause I left home quicker than a normal pitnee
Kept saying "Be safe", and always kiss me
'Cause she knows our hood is more than risky
And I'ma get you outta there, I promise
For now I'm tryna fill my pockets
Then anything you want, I'll cop it
I just wanna get you out, I promise
[Verse 2: Konan]
Kones, listen
You think these dark shades'll hide the pain? (Nah)
Penny for my thoughts cah I'm tryna change
They say money will never bring you happiness
But I'd rather be unhappy inside a Range
I'm sick of cells like my body's not well
If I ain't in the ringer, then I've probably got scales
Look, better make sure your shotty's got shells
'Cause life's a bitch, it's a dog eat dog world
And I'm sick of feds tryna run in my drum
My dad died, 45, guess I'm a son of a gun
Yeah I'm stuck in the slum so I hope that my time's near
'Cause even though we got a buzz, it's been a light year
I go hard 'cause life ain't easy
Especially when you're out here knee-deep
I could take you back, sweat box in the jail cell
Introduction wing, no remote for my TV
Came out, streets going mad for my CD
Now even vegetarians wanna meet me
Always in a problem 'cause I've never had humble friends
Tryna move rice while you're stunting in your uncle's Benz
Looking at these dirty notes, thinking that I need to change
'Cause all this dirt I do will probably leave a stain
Sitting in the cell, thinking I don't wanna steal again
Convict shit, I know Akon can feel my pain
They want me on my deathbed but I ain't snoozing off
A 9 to 5 ain't enough so I choose to rob
Or some food to shot, it's hard not to lose the plot
When your mum's telling you she's gonna lose her job
Life's a bitch and I know about losing dogs
Let me reminisce, wait - turn the music off
Bussing through these red lights, tryna lose the cops
Trying not to lose the square but I ain't tryna do the box
Kones
[Verse 3: Krept]
Too many dargs in our cemetery
Rap, Tiny, Charmz, Frenzy
Po, Dre, Termz, Wesley
Hurts me immensely, try and know that
Oh yeah, I remember this night so bad
In my house when I heard that gunfire go clap
My mum thought it was fireworks
I said, 'Ma, fireworks don't sound like that!'
So I came outside, in the ice cold and
Saw Bones on the floor, with his eyes rolled back
Imagine that for some, to see this would be awful
Imagine I was young, but to me this was normal
Tell you 'bout my past, got a mind full of memories
Tell you 'bout my dargs that have died in the ends and shit
Tell you 'bout my dargs that are riding them sentences
Or tell you bout my marj, nearly dying of that haemorrhage
[Outro]
Yeah
Behind the barz
Konz
Yeah we leavin it there?
Yeah, Dun'know behind the barz
Konz, Krept Play Dirty
Dun'kno the movement
Hold tight everyone
Tsunami, Itunes
