Little Hulton

[00:14.84] (Mikey Joe made this)
[00:21.12] I've always been a hoods hottest
[00:22.87] Real street kid bro, I got my hood poppin'
[00:25.41] Robbed boxes and got my whole hood shottin'
[00:28.03] Beef come up but my whole fuckin' hood shoties
[00:30.42] Had this whole town under manors, fuck the gossip
[00:32.93] Police spent a million pounds just to ban me from it
[00:35.41] Gang orders put my friends and my family on it
[00:37.94] Put my city on the map and no one thanked me for it
[00:40.48] From the home of coke addicts, young alcoholics
[00:43.30] Everybody's hurt and they're tryna block it
[00:45.78] Hooked on drugs and they can't stop it
[00:48.38] Used to serve 'em on the corner where the SPAR shop is
[00:50.55] Banned from town, said I can't go back
[00:53.14] But I still had my town on smash
[00:55.69] Went to war, seen my whole town grass
[00:58.04] I was tryna get my whole town whacked
[01:00.21] Ask their mum and dads, bro, if this is just rap
[01:02.79] From the front door, man got snatched
[01:05.36] Tied and gagged and that's just facts
[01:07.82] So fuck all the raps and fuck the chat
[01:10.42] 'Cause I was 25 before I fuckin' rapped
[01:12.94] Came home, banged straps, and they took me back
[01:16.48] And on my own, I did it
[01:18.94] And on my own, I did it
[01:20.78] Told 'em in prison, but pricks didn't listen
[01:23.14] Left them gates and won my mission
[01:26.34] To put myself in this position
[01:28.19] Make the transition, convict to musician
[01:31.79] Convict to musician
[01:33.05] Got myself in the charts, won heart with my lyrics
[01:35.64] In front of major labels, and I'm pitchin' my vision
[01:38.11] Came at me screamin', "Bro, you did it!"
[01:40.83] Smashin' up his pad, watchin' me on television
[01:43.36] Told him it's for us, my brother and don't give in
[01:45.95] When you're in a cell, it's hard to stay driven
[01:48.65] On the wing with the robbers and the killers
[01:50.70] 200 dead souls alive, not livin'
[01:53.26] Screws conspire analyse and listen
[01:55.80] I gamble with my life, I'm on a tightrope skippin'
[01:59.39] (I'm on a tightrope skippin')
[02:01.36] Someone tell the estate that I ain't changed on 'em
[02:04.08] And I'm sad that I got took away from 'em
[02:06.37] Committed crimes and I had to pay for 'em
[02:08.72] I miss the dirty walls, remember wrote my name on 'em
[02:11.82] Spar grove, that's where I got my name poppin'
[02:14.17] That's where I robbed thingy, I ain't name droppin'
[02:16.46] Me and Kane plottin', no shottin' straight robbin'
[02:18.94] Someone tell the estate that I ain't changed on 'em
[02:21.67] Just a peasant from Chedworth Crescent
[02:24.12] Smoked weed since the age of seven
[02:26.66] Little menace, I was skippin' lesson
[02:28.68] Jumped the gate at dinner, Mr. Povey stressin'
[02:31.46] Harrop was my first school, Broadwalk my second
[02:34.15] Never made it to year 11
[02:36.93] 'Cause I was in the juvies reppin'
[02:38.94] A wing on the ones in pad seven
[02:42.10] This part of Britain ain't great
[02:44.28] Teen pregnancy, minimum wage
[02:46.54] The land of shattered dreams teachers used to say
[02:49.09] Steal our star, that's how we were raised
[02:51.53] Kids sell work before they learn a trade
[02:54.18] Child neglect, parents' eyes are glazed
[02:56.21] And if you're goin' through the struggle, then I feel ya pain
[02:58.86] Just know it's never too late to make a change
[03:01.65] And this one's for little Wes, rest in peace Elaine
[03:04.26] And this one's for little L, free him out the cage
[03:06.62] This one's for Cos for keepin' me safe
[03:08.95] I was young on the run, she'd always give me a place
[03:11.53] Anytime I was hungry, always give me a plate
[03:14.12] And this one's for Moo, man, I miss my little mate
[03:16.64] Smack needles on the street where we used to play
[03:19.20] I'm talkin' about Old Lane Eastern Way
[03:21.70] Little Hulton is my home, and I'm proud to say
[03:24.11] This one's for everyone from back in the day
[03:27.72] (This shit's for everybody, man)
[03:28.47]
