Mind Notes Pt.67 'Hoodie On The Corner'

They said he's just another hoodie
Standing up on the corner
And that's what they all sold ya'
Ghetto soldiers
But it ain't what it seems
He's trying to live out his dreams
And grow older
Grow older

Hoodie on the corner

BBC snapback

London go starter

If I had a Ferrari

Then I'd surely go faster

But I've got a blue oyster

Travelcard

Smarter

See I barley seen my father

And the more he got further

My heart got harder

But look

There was food up in da larder

So I couldn't be a martyr

And I had to go faster

Sticking to da script

Like a plaster

Too many tears here

Not enough laughter

All this disaster

Caught up in the saga

Blue lights flashing

On the bloodstained Prada

All these

Guns and the armour
Everyday palaver

Modern day drama

Forget da magna carter

Because the tax stay harder

Filling up the prisons

Until we bow to the masters

All black

Hoodie on the corner

Branded a problem

By reporters

But we're just doing

What they taught us

We're just doing

What they taught us

Ain't no hoodies getting stitched

In my hood

And when we're flashing the cash

They say its all good

So I can buy it

But I can't wear it with pride

Staring at me like a thug

When I'm outside

Snap back pulled low

Street culture

Women hugging their bags

Like I'm a vulture

But I keep it soldier

And flabbergast the critics

Chewing up tracks

Hubba bubba when I spit it

Bubble gum tip

Sunbeam origami

On a next trip

From my lip

No freudian slip

I premeditate

Rap for the cause

All love that we celebrate

PEACE LOVE & PEOPLE POWER!
