[Verse 1:] It's a recession, the whole ends has been neglected, there has been multiple 'chefings That's why we don't really want to go and vote on elections We're just out here trying to get it on a next ting They ain't putting money in the hood so 'eff them Grab a stick and a hoodie and go get it They ain't bringing in the fellas, man have to bring in the squealers Sometimes we had to go out and lick it It's a recession Due to the stress and depression soon we could see armageddon Man woman and child all barking weapons, big fighter jets flying across Britain Thugs taking over the wings in prisons, the system completely collapsed They punched up the screws and released all the prisoners The whole country was under attack [Hook:] It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles [Verse 2:] The predicament the mandem are in is ridiculous We're just out here trying to live inna England It's minus 2, I can feel the bitterness from my head to my boots Survival of the fittest in a city so frivilous Gyal giving it up in the back of the cinemas, rough with the smooth There's so many civilians trying to come through You will die if you ain't built resilience, serious Over a 10 year period so many bootings and stabbings in the area that I've lost count Don't even flinch when I'm hearing it, just another day in these concrete villages But frankly the parents are sick of it, but it's cold out there Militant, kill or be killed? What a big decision You've got to be thick-skinned to live in Great Britain [Hook:] It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles [Verse 3:] Get with the times, the Met want me dead or alive Trying to say I'm a threat to society Just for a while I've fled from the island, I'll be back again in July They want to charge me for the way that I killed When I'm 'Ere, and a few other grime beats, for man's slaughter And my solicitor's saying if I go not guilty they might try and life me They want to stop my return to the grime scene They want to slap me with IPP Right now MI5 are trying to find me Any IC3 that looks like me are getting hopped out on, men in uniform waving handguns This ain't banter, ready to push back your dandruff All 'cause I'm the microphone champion [Hook:] It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles It's like crabs in a barrel Everyday just a constant battle The youngers are slaughtering each other like cattle It's time to remove all the shackles
