Awate - AUSTERITY lyrics

[Awate] No introduction is required You are now entering the land of the inspired My name's Awate and I'm known in certain homes around the globe to spit poems that make you pick up the phone And dial 9 three times. Shine like street signs One of my favourite hobbies is to find and beat swine I can't help it. They've k**ed too many people of my colour and my cla** for me to sit and be quiet So why do we riot? Well, how about the government are just a bunch of liars Cut funding for fun and wonder why there's street violence It's a joke. So I give you something to quote so you can shove it down their throats But I digress and I confess to being one of the best so I stick out my chest and take your shots without a vest Never suppress my thoughts You can try to arrest me for inciting violence but I just describe what I see behind my eyelids And what I hear - are rappers who are fakers Say they get the bread but they've never been to the bakers Now tell me - how is that tolerated? Modern day society's severely discombobulated And this rapping situation is a mess A guy's talking like Scarface when he worked for the feds And how is selling d** a thing to look up to, when you answer to the wrath of the lord that's up above you? This makes no sense. I'm lost Girls are wearing nothing but lingerie and a cross And man are holding nothing but a grudge and a Glock If this is just the start I need a moment to just stop (Inhale) And breathe And show you that I'm one of London's number one MCs And all they ever talk about is ps and their greed While I write about my roots, they rhyme about smoking trees It's a mess. Songs nowadays are about s** and cess And they all think they're really cool, the way that they dress I either leave or make a change. I can't take the stress Everywhere I go, I've got police stopping me In the Square Mile you've got the rich committing robbery I feel like I've got the whole world on top of me So whenever I protest I punch a fed probably Well that's a definite Civil disobedience - I'm tryna set a precedence I wanna see your anger or whatever there is left of it Until every mansion is decrepit or desolate
