Coming of Age in Britain Lyrics by Lloyd Luther

Dubs of the Mad Skint and British Pt. 1: Problems

2015

[Verse 1]
We smoke weed every evenin'
Tweetin' our feelings and fame's what our dream is
Not Dragons D Deborah Meaden
In UK where the Queen is do we see the deceit in the system
So we're mad beef like we're steamin'
Thinking can't change on streets, we're defeated
Outside of the pubs pissheads get a beaten
By the smell of chip shops, cursing police men
Football, binge drinkin' help us deny Britains' sinkin'
Tesco signs says we're linkin'
High tryna find my conviction
I'm black but gotta leave times where we're victims
Believe in myself 'cause they lie in this prison
In these Saxon lands we're tryin' dodgy lines, how I frisk 'em
Even when a job gets dry like a Pritt Stick
Can't be dealing like dice got to build this time
'Cause my dad's generation didn't get that wise to the System
So many black youths got a knife and conviction
Bruvs, I had American bars
'Til So Solid started reppin' in charts
Watching American stars
Immigrants from afar 'cause currency is large
Speaking Patois watching Eastenders
Real not the Only Way Essex is bars
What I've got lost so I'm not Primark, so I probably won't chart
Hard, not Maggie Thatcher
Growing up quick in a Macky Ds arch
With QVC MCs and ASBO stressin'
Say what I mean not a twat tryna be G
Writing lines I don't believe like attention
Britains' falling they don't like to mention
Posh guys in power out of touch to the tension
There's so many questions
School's memory they seeking intelligence
Control like we man is peak like Everest
Using religion to deceive like terrorists
Media disease got us seekin' imperative
Legal highs, they don't care if they test or they dedicate
Their soul sold psyche like we're the cleverest, blood
[Hook]
I see it all like Neo
But I know that these ain't only my thoughts like Neo
My generations mad tryna find the right path in the system
Coming of Age in Britain
(United, United Kingdom, United Kingdom)
Coming of Age in Britain
(United, United Kingdom, United Kingdom)
[Verse 2]
Scene
Can't be a snail for my plan to prevail
Gotta beat Royal Mail
Our role models are all a paid cover fill ?
Laughing at Jeremy Kyle as war prevails
Finding sex on the net with a text
Nick she connects don't care less a mans' nows her ex ?
Relationships are borrowed
Sounds like corrow ?
I'm not perfect we've been taught to be hollow
In these tower block suburban states
EDL-race immigration debates
E not pounce a man will relate
But greedy bankers made this country deflate
I'm fine when I rhyme got hairing on my time
Beats get angry and shifting to grime
Understand this and you'll understand why
Everybody's on a hype Like GTA 5
In dark rooms listenin' foreheads' glistening
Cold cough don't care what language you're spittin in
For a reload man say they gon' kill a kid
Like a gyro form oi go fill him in
This is when I knew I weren't fitting in
Living say sickening
Hard to be real when we've all got an image thing
Not third world but insane what we're living in
Staring at the rich makes us shake like Ritalin
I've written it need advice like Google
Can't find my dad tried Google
P like they any chest falling through dude ?
Being young and skin with hype on your noodle?
Hanging on jobs for a muse ain't fun
Man just telling me to run with the drugs like Scarface
That's like busting no john ?
One reason mom moved when I was young
Moved up North and they were calling me Wog
Oi, but now my grades ain't flawed
Still at the job centre though Buzzlight four ?
On a power trip like a plug in the walls
Zero in our contract bloody weight got the Force
Skywalk
Not with immigration in force
But everyone would rather take pictures for walls
And talk WhatsApping agents tryna benefit fraud?
Here with the pen tryna draw your attention
Spark you enough like a car battery ending
But to fit in many par their intentions?
Staring into computers till they turn against us
