Ms D - Open Conversation & Mark Duggan lyrics

"Open Conversation" [Hook: Varren Wade] Grown on me Can't sing but I wrote you a song, that's grown on me And my treasures have grown on me Aware of the responsibilities, grown on me And when I wear a suit and tie, it looks grown on me I ain't changed, I'm just a new old me Or did you know me? Grown on me (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Mu-mu-music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got-got you feeling flawless) [Verse 1: Wretch 32] Uh, I grew up on Eternal, I'm tryna be the same Ever seen a flame in the rain? No? Then you've never seen Jermaine In his white-gold chain back in the day, just give me space Yeah Though I might have took a Galaxy I never had a pound Couldn't afford a Ford so I had to run around What the f**'s an allergy? All my n***as nuts We weren't allowed in the youth club Before we hit the clubs They said enough was enough So we had to give 'em more When you see sides, I just wanna know you're sure Are you sure? Or do you sympathise? You grew up on Kinder Surprise I had licks and rice and had to drink my pride One-on-one since six or five Lost my marbles, looking down the drain Tryna find 'em, I couldn't find 'em (Look a little closer to home, you might find 'em) I might find 'em? f** that, I've got my skateboard I've got my rucksack, I've got my 8 balls I've got two sticks and I ain't playing pool I know who's who, I'm from the same school And it's hard knocks, where it makes you Or it breaks you, I didn't snap in half I just snapped in cla** It's a miracle I didn't catch that charge Ain't got time to waste Night time, that's like my time of day When you're 32 shade of grey In this concrete jungle, you've gotta pave a way Just don't let 'em take your Jane (Can't take you, baby) I start playing Jason when they get adjacent You know how that movie goes Click-clack, bang-bang on my foes, 2Pac taught me that Biggie Smalls taught me swag Got my Versace shirt, put my car in reverse I was hypnotised with Medusa in my lenses Now I'm Medusa to my exes Don't look at me, don't look at me Unless you've got the whole booking fee I used to have a hole in my jeans Holes in my tee Now I buy outfits for the whole of my team You couldn't shot on the block I live Moving Bobby Brown, that was just my prerogative Just my prerogative Driving cars with no indicators I took a right turn with no indication The only stimulation was ipi-dipi-dation How many of my n***as I'll be seeing in the station? I'm getting fed up 'Member they put the cuffs on me Felt like I couldn't even stand up or breathe Brother Mark never made it to custody I see his kids now and again I give them every cent that I've got up in my pocket But it isn't enough Cause when he saw me at the lights, he said give me your number Got the same school shirt, now I'm wearing this jumper Saying RIP Just know you R-I me Every verse from your coffin and I'm not stopping Sick of money often, see Kamani often, see Shenaia often See the pressures we had, tryna take it off them Turned the hangman rope into straight white-gold Cuh we rose from the dungeon Zeros to the hundreds And they can write books on us where we come from That's why we're heroes on our junction [Hook: Varren Wade] Grown on me Can't sing but I wrote you a song, that's grown on me And my treasures have grown on me Aware of the responsibilities, grown on me And when I wear a suit and tie, it looks grown on me I ain't changed, I'm just a new old me Or did you know me? Grown on me (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Mu-mu-music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got you feeling flawless) (Music so gorgeous, got-got you feeling flawless) "Mark Duggan" [Break: Stafford Scott] Who are the murderers? Police are the murderers! No justice? No peace! No justice? No peace! No justice? No peace! We don't do this because we want to do this We don't do this because we read in a book that it's a good thing to do We do this because for generations, they've been k**ing black people all over the country Poor and working cla** people all over the country And always getting away with it [Bridge: Bobii Lewis] I heard it's all been love Cupid, draw back your bow We need to follow that arrow While I'm on my feet If they shoot me down, would you riot for me? Riot for me We need to follow that arrow As long as we believe Two tears falling like the innocent Spirits in the wind What's respect if they expect silence? Oh Sirens when we disrespect Sirens when we disrespect What's respect if they expect silence? We hear sirens when we disrespect, yeah [Verse 2: Avelino] I just lost my mind I just lost my mind Is it me or am I scared of the cops outside? There's cops outside There's an I in team but I'm on my side, I guess Roses are red Violets for the violence Yeah [Outro: Bobii Lewis] What's respect if they expect silence? We hear sirens when we disrespect
