Oh West End Story
Yo! Yo!
What is the cost of freedom, and who pays it?
Is the world not one big slave ship?
Where some use whipp and strip naked
Or your freedom is written in your pay slip
First world brag but so called the third world fight is still right in front of our eyes
Where most of humanity
Lives in abject poverty active by design
Is that not insanity?
Even here in Great Britain it ain't so great the living
So the kids is stick the ... from all the city politicians keep bitchin'
As if it's not their mates that
Are making the weapons
That are doing all the killing
No we ain't saying a thing
We're too busy blinging,
But who pays the check
â¦. when you're singing
And some say I preach fine
Other say I teach
But my rhymes I do need
I speak from my mind!
You gotta know this ain't no west end story,
And if you don't mind put a little bit of glory
'Cause all they want to know is
What you do you have for me?
Don't you know, don't you know?
This ain't no west end story!
It's real life, listen!
Yo! Yo!
I'm as lost as you, as confused and abused
So, please don't put me in any kind of pedestals
An egotistical â¦â¦ convicted
When I'm ready working on it,
But I don't think It's getting any better
There is love in my heart,
And I'm tryna spread it out
Still fighting ...the sarcastic in the mouth
I ain't got a clue what's beyond the grave
I do know we behave in strangest ways
Where Moneyâ¦. is how we get paid,
But we love our kids and we got to look them in the face
So we tell ourselves whatever we think,
Will justify a harvest â¦.
But no... we can't go living inside this malice
Surrounded by the squalla, we worshiping the dolla'
And characterized the brew alliance
That's the robber where the â¦.
Robber is on â¦.
And kids are counting â¦.
But there is no flag that's large enough to wrap around and cover.
Robber is on â¦.
And kids are counting â¦.
But there is no flag that's large enough to wrap around and cover
Where the robber is on â¦.
And kids are counting â¦.
But there is no flag that's large enough to wrap around and cover
You gotta know this ain't no west end story,
And if you don't mind put a little bit of glory
'Cause all they want to know is
What you do you have for me?
Don't you know, don't you know?
This ain't no west end story!
It's real life, listen!
(No, no, yeh, yeh
No west end story
No, no, yeh, yeh
Can you see now?
Can you see?
Yeh, yeh, yeh)
