Shay D - Brick City lyrics

f** your audi and the crack you shot To your own in the ends keep em stuck on the block k**ing your brothers murder on a daily Like you doin the Feds work for them that's crazy Your shades and chains just don't impress me Your weak co*ky messages asking to s** me Still flashing all your dough around Like you got rejected for a bank account Man buys air force ones for the yoots Corrupt them in the first place then buy em some shoes What dickhead sees past your fake a** truths Got dem shotting in the park and making your moves Da same dickheads that put you on their youtube channels No role models just who that shoot barrels And smoke weed parrow From brixton to harrow Young men entranced by views on channels Dont you see they tryna break us bit by bit They want us to fight with knives and sticks So we forget about them and our rights to live But we gotta build our city back brick by brick f** a crew and the ends you rep Thinkin puttin people down will bring you respect You wanna be road then thats what you'll get And when they build over your flats whats a postcode then Do you find yourself ducking and diving I call it waste but you call it surviving Not everyone shots or makes money rhyming You got choices when it comes to surviving Why at times do i feel so unsettled? Coz ive seen how pride can clash amongst rebels Mums tellin you dont be a victim Your moanin that she switching that she crying Youre not listenin - nah Dont you see whats happening Systems gettin tight now and they crackin in Every estate and every borough And if youre not them youre getting kicked out tomorrow Dont you see they tryna break us bit by bit They want us to fight with knives and sticks So we forget about them and our rights to live But we gotta build our city back brick by brick We gotta rally up unite one another Not bally up and fight one another Carry up elevate one another Educate, celebrate and not hate one another
