Kwam - 2011 lyrics

The year's 2011 Where the ma**es clean up the mess that a small few made And MPs remain all too fake Shutting amenities left right middle A strange response to an old riddle Spit on a man's big society, see all of that? Big boy ginals Taking the mick, more than a little Libraries shut but not enough of us care It's amazing It's like man don't know books are amazing Watching our public services cave in It was bound to be this when Cameron and his lot came in Lining their private sector mates up With the big contracts And calling it saving Oh 11 where toddlers play shoot 'em ups And man wanna ask why youts are f**ed In a few years' time I'm due to cut I ain't bringing up kids here Boys opening up heads like lids here No I don't believe my mindset fits here Burying a child's every parent's big fear I just thank God that stray shell missed If not I would have been down one sis Man think it's a video game inna dis But this is real life not a level A human's worth much more than the price of a bezel Breitling, Roley, Jacobs, whatever one I don't care if the strap's a pure leather one And if you believe any different I believe you must be stood to the right of the devil The year's 2011 Trust for your fellow man is a myth now We're squashed together in a big town so it's no shock We all know the cost if you ever doze off Big thanks to the press You do a great job raising our stress If I believed everything I heard from them I'd k** myself thinking the world was a mess Two zero one one Where your hard-earned money gets less People are existing under duress Next people top themselves over their debts How can you blame 'em? With the amount of calls they get daily laden with threats Not to mention all the texts, I've been there They make you feel as if say you've sinned bare It's oh 11, and nobody cares A man lays hands on his queen in the street Everybody acts like nobody hears Somebody help, what is nobody there? I was on a bus when I saw it occur Mum's life nobody there said a word I'll tell you why no one intervened They're clearly all scared of the things they've heard It comes like we've lost our nerve A bag of eyes were just fixed to the kerb That's when I clocked it's all for ourselves out here And it wasn't a nice thing to learn A society of selfish sods I swear it makes my gut churn And no these aren't just good words in a verse Please be aware that it really does turn The year's 2011 And we ain't got no respect for the old I'll tell you now there'll never be a day Where Mum or Dad just get left in a home If they sh** themselves, I'll clean that I ain't having either of them getting screamed at The olders built the world that we're living in now It's like us younger folk can't see that Oh eleven where the old are an inconvenience To be placed to the side Society ain't got space for their type Society's like 'this lot are wasting our time They're taking our room and breathing our air And times are hard so believe we can't share That's what it is, so if YOU wanna live You won't receive a chance here Two thousand and eleven these days Flats are built to last 10 years tops All it takes is a change of agenda Sign a contract, and then they're dropped These days saving's a myth When your paycheck mostly goes to renting your plot Add utilities, bingo! Bye bye money It stinks like a stench in a bog So that means we know what it is It's the reason why we get loans or a bit What d'you think guys do things on the side for? With a mentality like "bun the tight laws!" When all's said it's survival the fight's for Nobody wants to be left in the race Nobody wants to be left on their face With all of that clear we're not resting again The year's 2011 Some say there's only one year left Judgement Day paranoia is spreading I'm glad to say it's not come here yet I guess you'd only think that way If you really truly are scared of your d**h But I can't live my life living it warily That's why I leave the fear to the rest I keep calm and carry on doing mine That's the football, the family and grime The genre lasted all of this time At times it was dodge, nowadays it's fine See them three things that I mentioned? Without them I'd lose all momentum
