(As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart) (As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart) My teacher told me I'm a side man, I told her to remember me Now they wanna email me, asking if I can talk to the kids in assembly Now man are selling out Wembley Now man are twenty first century Statistics say I should be dead or in jail But shit ain't the way that it's meant to be Breaking the cycle They wish I was trapped in the system A 6 foot tall black guy like me That would've been a wrap in an instant That's why I gotta speak my mind, I'mma say how it is and I never say sorry Keep my mouth shut like Winston and Tracy fam, over my dead body (As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart) (As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart) Too much TV, too many newspapers got a nigga thinking evil Got me thinking I'm looking at my enemy when I'm looking at my own people Notice when a white man looks at my watch I think he's trying to pay me a compliment When a black man looks at my watch I think he's trying to knock my confidence (mad) I was in Amsterdam smoking blue cheese and I had an epiphany All these negative preconceptions just bring more negativity Instead of investing in new businesses they buy new artillery Everybody in the hood wants to spray a 16 and I don't mean lyrically Underdog psychosis spreading around in the hood like flu Security guards follow me around like I ain't got 2 pounds to pay for my juice Now all this bullshit got me smoking this stupid zoot Tell Boris he's lucky that I made it rapping or I would've been looting too Niggas ain't got GCSEs still don't wanna work for a minimum wage These days man will murder a man for a box of grade Every time the .38 barrel spins Martin Luther turns in the grave It's real life, no computer game, we're living in the streets of rage (As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart) (As the days keep turning As the world keeps burning As my soul keeps learning Tears fall from the castles around my heart)
