Mr. Slash - CPB lyrics

[Intro] Crime, corruption, courage Power, p**y, paper Beef, bullets and barristers It's all a dangerous cycle CPB... Blah Blah Blah Blow [Verse 1] Crime, corruption and courage Three reasons that I rated the older Now I got weight on my shoulders like luggage In school I never studied At 3:15 home I never hurried, now mums worried Is she ever gonna see her son flourish? A lot of my friends have been duppied Knife to the stomach, the lord soon cometh I don't wanna burn in hell Or do a bird in jail, [?] And sometimes when i curse my girl I wanna resort to violence In the long run i'll be hurt as well I don't wanna work but i got work for sale Some n***as have got keys like they work for Yale Police hate when the worst prevail It's old evidence, stop tryna preserve whats stale [Chorus] It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (C) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (P) It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (B) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (CPB) [Verse 2] Power, p**y and paper The dreams of a teen, things ain't what they seem Blades and machines still stick place in between Your waist and your jeans Manna do a mad ting for the taste of the cream Some take to the green And start shottin' H to the fiends I stay fresh to d**h, down to my laces are clean I'm in love with the face of the queen I'm paper possessed I'm bound to be paid for my scheme I'm so far from aimless Money makes my brain tick Ain't nothing like p**y and a payslip, face it I'm never gonna tell you how, my trades sacred But when I'm low you'll never know where I'm allocated Still I expect respect cos man know I ain't naked Because I guess I'd be a victim of hatred [Chorus] It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (C) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (P) It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (B) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (CPB) [Verse 3] Beef, bullets and barristers Nowadays the streets are filled with cameras Still it's so hazardous Some get brung back to life like Nazareth Yeah it's miraculous I tell amateurs "stay to the side" like bannisters When I say I've got metal they think I mean canisters Wars I've had you couldn't count on an abacus I'm so calamitous My names Ghetto but life ain't fabulous Everyday I'm around clamorous characters Some think the gun ting's so glamorous But in a shootout what you gonna do now? Leave him with a hole the size of two pound You won't bust save yourself the embarra**ment Believe me I know all about arrogance Even when you know it's precarious [Chorus] It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (C) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (P) It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (B) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (CPB) [Outro] Yeah... You have to take time out and think what you're doing man Always think first I've made mistakes... that you can learn from... true stories (C) stands for cash (P) stands for Plaistow (B) stands for MY borough, ya dun know CPB! [Chorus] It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (C) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (P) It's a dangerous cycle Can't tell a mate from a rival (B) Blades and rifles Are more than an aid to survival (CPB) You know you got slow people yeah? And they STILL won't know what CPB means Gotta break it down like this... The Cycle ain't a Pedal Bike G-H
