Statement Lyrics by Peaky

2013

[Verse 1][Peaky]

So if you're terrified to listen take a mental incision
And travel backwards; I'll show you how I came to be gifted
And painted pictures of racist caverns and scriptures they take as fractured
And twisted minds, proving that the system's a lie
Do they really listen to the stories I tell?
Or do they judge it by the instruments and instantly shelf?
And think I'm crude and insensitive, all I do is bring censorship
To it's knees, please tell me that you know what I meant by this, (Uh)
I'm not as simple as you people might think
'Cos I've seen richer than rich, and people clutching the sink
And using needles as medicine I used weed as a medicine
I experiment but who can say to weed they're a celebit?
Ain't a montonal lifestyle: Colours collect
And maybe we don't see that really life is good as a white child
When one out of six that's getting stopped by the pigs
Has got a paler complexion, a fact that they never mention
It's only - telling the truth through this music I use
But some don't get it, and they think I'm out to get me some credit
And talking shit for the sake of it. I'm not sure what to make of it, so I

[Hook][Peaky, A Tribe Called Quest]
(Peaky)
Dumb it down (down, down, down)
I Dumb it down (down, down, down)
I Dumb it down (down, down, down)
(A Tribe Called Quest)
But most MCs ain't ready yet!

[Verse 2][Peaky]

So many times I'm ashamed by my lines
But still I water down the truth and replace it with hype
'Cos if I'm rapping for sales they need to feel like brail
And if I stick to what I see then my audience fails
What kind of industry is this? I feel clinically pissed
I might just roll another spliff and give the clinic a miss
And write a lyric or six about how emptying clips
Is something cool, and then maybe it'll make me a hit
Except it won't though, seeing as they already know
That I'm intelligent, irrelevantly critics'll flip
And tell me what I should or shouldn't speak about in my lyrics
As if if they held my position they could do how I did it!
And so I - stay on my grizzle and listen as blocks sizzle
A little bit lost, is it just silly to drop riddles when little-
To-no listeners'll pick up the plot
Some only care for the gwop; others can sneer at my snocks
So hear my lyrics with subtlety and then clear it'll come to thee
Why these prodigal souls hustle and rob for the luxury
I'm not wrong, but I'm younger, and under the friendly bumper
No-one wants to take a lesson. I'm sensing they want my hunger so I
