LifeOnTheCostaDelSalford Lyrics by Strategy

0

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the studio, thinking about life
While you lot are sitting in the sun outside
Living in this city got me going out my mind
So ima show 'em a thing or two about writin'
Thinking about when we used to battle an' shit
DRS will punch a rapper in his mouth quick
I'm tellin you the truth yo ask Semtex
When Mikayla put her nails in a guys eye-flesh
That was the first time i rhymed with our kid
Broke'n'£nglish laying it down like carpet
Momma used to get my shoes from the market
When I went to school they used to call me darkie
Costa del Salford; I grew up in the 80's
Think it's bad now? back then it was crazy
Had a fight with my best friend, name's Jackie
He cracked me in my face and then he called me a Paki
That's when I knew that I had to switch;
I hit him with a bat, said "I'm Jamaican, bitch"
Me and our kid went down the swimming baths
Came out a couple lads robbed our hats
They was big though so we couldn't do shit
I went home told my mum she went sick
Weren't nuttin big though, still I think back
To when me and Alex took acid in class
Teacher said "John yo you look messed up"
I just stood up and said "get to fuck"
In geography class having a bad trip
When i got suspended i thought 'is that it?'
[Chorus]
Cus its life on the Costa
I said it's life on the Costa
Hey yo we're living on the Costa
We're growin up on the Costa del Salford, bitch
This is life on the Costa
I said it's life on the Costa
What you know about the Costa?
We're living life on the Costa del Salford, bitch
[Verse 2]
Well I'm sittin in the studio thinking about stuff
I used to hate life but now I can't get enough
Spent my life in Salford and I ain't gone mad
So I know that this living thing ain't that bad
We used to call Higher Broughton 'Beirut'
Where the youts dem mainly aim to make loot
I was one of the only brown kids on the close
So I used to have fights by the football posts
Before mixed race they used to say halfcast
I was the darkest kid sittin in our class
When a kid tried to bully me i said i was spanish and my name was Antonio Vargas
Even though my grandad was a Jamaican
At seventeen he came through immigration
He was searching for a better life for his family so right now it's 'im I'm celebrating
Sittin in my studio thinking about that
And how i'm gonna put the Costa del on the map
Bitch, you know the clique: Broke'n'£nglish
I stand up to the light; photosynthesis
The kids been about, yeah the kids done a lot
From Salford Precinct now i'm going to the top
The kids done a lot, yeah the kids been about
From Lower Broughton now I'm in with a shout
To any little kids thinking they can't make it
No matter where you're from haters can't say shit
If anyones saying that you can't make it
Tell 'em "Strats said you can suck my dick" (in a bit bitch)
[Chorus]
Cus its life on the Costa
I said it's life on the Costa
Hey yo we're living on the Costa
We're growin up on the Costa del Salford, bitch
This is life on the Costa
I said it's life on the Costa
What you know about the Costa?
We're living life on the Costa del Salford, bitch. (in a bit)
