paroles de chanson 100 Bars Of Truth - English Frank

When people ask me bout my life i just smile and say its all good
Knowing deep down all its ever been is all hood
Suicides, homicides dodging bullets and the judges book
I could never glamorize being a crook
At age 10 my best friend got took back to Gahna, his mum tricked him,
She said it was a holiday she booked, she said
He was possessed by the devil and he was just a crook, but i said
He was just a product of the hood

In 96' the hood was blitz, just little kids
To walk to KFC and back is like crossing a death bridge
On Brixton front line where any time can be crunch time
Summerlate on summertime nothing but yellow murder signs, My hood
Never had Debo but we had Sharky
He stabbed a man to death repeatedly just for his car keys
And got a majistys request before IPP's
And was the icey one sorounded by - I see Free

So what is 'talking black' you racist, ignorent wankers
My mum an papa went to work, my child minder was a Raster
So i was listenin to Papa before i learnt to walk,
An before i learnt to talk, i was mumblin along to ragga
Im just trying to give you a little piece of my life
Before i start to break down how i really feel inside
How i really feel that nearly everything we're told is a lie
And everytime we question anything we're just told to comply

Yo we're taught to hate each other watching MTV cribs
Where the woredrobes are bigger than the average mans crib
While little man, sittin in his council flat
With a blocked sink a block fridge a strap an 2 O's on tic
An he gets hit an bear stripped by one of there pigs
An sent to one of there jails for selling there crack on one of their sticks
We need to stop the animosity, we're just actin like kids
An we're realisin its not black an white now its just Poor an Rich, I grew up with

Street legends that run graveyard shifts,
Now their sat in a graveyard, or in a prison yard pissed,
Yo i, i popped to Marlon 'do you remember him?'
I think he's in a mad house because his cousins tourtured him
'What about Herb?' 'Whats happening with him?'
'Dont worry fam - na - u aint gonna see him'
'Yo remember Roberto, that kid you was always with?'
'He done a couple of big licks an i aint seen him ever since'

'What about Manic? I know ya must still see him'
'He's fallen off Fam he sniffs coke an beats women'
'What about Jonny boy he must be lovin the life that he's livin?'
'He died in '06 and since then my heads been missin'
No i aint glamorizing shit, im analising it
10 stabbings everyday is a London statistic
Carry on livin ya life, see i bin robbed twice in my life by a hoodie
But thousands of times by a shirt an tie

See we pay tax when we're born, we pay tax when we die
We pay tax on everything we buy throughout our whole lives
And still you dont think twice about buying ice overpriced
Though uve got blood around your neck and no shame in your eyes
Ive got another case im probably facin more time inside, an all i
Think about is my son an the look in his eyes
When he looks in Daddy's eyes i cry tears inside, an cry more
Knowing that i could be leavin him behind, fam im

Losing my mind ye im turnin insane, knowin they
Kidnap little kids an rape them everyday
There putting flouride in our water not to stop tooth decay - to stop us
Breath through our day - let the chemicals that they spray
Only sertain man will understand sertian things that i say
I dont rap for the masses im rappin for the masses to be saved
And make a desiese to spread like plauge so ya think make haze, these are the
End of our time the end of our days

Conquer and devide, see its the real history
They stole the truth from the wise and replaced it with lies
Seak the truth, we need to start guiding the youth
Teach them bout love instead of teaching them bout drugs, guns and loot
Well we still need to strap up because revolutions comin soon
The welfare of 99 names is inside you
Let it guide you cause all of this is here to blind u
NEWS 24's the modern day sword your being lied to

Open up your eyes remove your blindfold
How can we invade a country an call them terrorists
How can we send our kids to go an fight a war
For a country that doesnt even really give a shit if they die or they live
How could you hate another man cause of the colour of his skin, its like they
Stole our thoughts, like they taught us to think
Underground bases of FEMA camps, the mark of the beast its comin
Some babies have already got the chip up under their skin

What can we do but learn to love an learn to love everyone else
Cause the day we lose love we lose the true meaning of self
The true meaning of health, the true meaning of wealth is love
Everything else is the devil him self, how can we
Hate each other, kill an steal from one another
Desoul our seeds and show no love to our mothers
How could we ever expect god to love us
If we cant even learn to help and love one another
