(Intro - Shifty & Wrigley)
Do you know where you are r'kid?
Do you see what it's like?
This is Manchester don't start sh**
You don't wanna end up a piece of the sky
'R kids from block to block
And I just wanna push things forward
And 'R missions not to stop
But things are just way too awkward
(Hook x2)
We're just reppin' it
Speakin' 'R minds, cause to how we live it's like people are blind
We want you to see what its like, we want you to feel how we feel inside
(Verse 1 - Wrigley)
Do you know where you are r'kid?
This is Manchester don't start sh**
We're rawer than most, 'R kids from block to block
Some are poorer than most, some cop the Glocks
So in your ear shot to shots
So of course he's lost the cops and life's so
Boring most have lost the plot
More and more sh** i've got to stop
Some work 9 to 5, go wash your pots, i'll write my rhymes
Obey your boss, i'll shine in grime
No way i'll flop, keep trying and trying
So do the same as I, try real life but find it harder to shine
I'm shining cause I smile with my rhymes
And half of these guys, I can tell
That half of you likes me but half of you sly
In these sides, half the guys are the types
To start the fights
So half the time guys are like narr, narr
He imitated me like Stars in Their Eyes
So theirs gonna be some swinging like Tarzan tonight
Cause he ain't stinging or styling my pry (?)
You get me, if you don't forget me
I'm like rarr you get me?
This is just petty and pathetic
But it's street life Manny forget it
I'll roll on or be rolled on but check it
That's just the street side of life
(Verse 2 - Shifty)
And it's getting real now, so I
Just wanna push things forward
And get my name in and out of Manchester
It's awkward, too many peeps get tortured
Nights get locked off, people think that it's all us
Manchester's understated and by others
Manchester's underrated
We've got the wrong attitude and that's why
Manchester's over hated
No one wants to go there, it's too stressful
Come and you will leave with no hair
It's my home but I don't care
So I hate on my home but flow rare
You see me I wanna make a change
Change the game and then I wanna make a name
I wanna get somewhere, someday
So lets come together and change the game
But let's start by making tracks
Cause what you gonna get by waving gats?
Locked up in a cell but you can take that path
But I know deep down you don't really want that
See you gotta stay true to yourself
Put down your weapons, stop moving in stealth
Don't do it for your mates, just do it for yourself
Cause you'll end up losing your health
And I think too much about music
If it went pear, it's gone, i'd lose it
Forget jail, i'm moving
Manchester's 'bout talent, so why not use it?
Let me tell you why, (why?)
Because no one wants a piece of the pie
And they're all silly gunman, one day they're gonna end up a piece of the sky
(Hook x4)
We're just reppin' it
Speakin' 'R minds, cause to how we live it's like people are blind
We want you to see what its like, we want you to feel how we feel inside
