Devils Playground

Yeah
The hood
The ends
The ghetto
Whatever you wanna call it

I call it the devil's playground
I realise late, but better late than never

Yeh

Driving through the hood, thinking how fucked it is
Like how the fuck can anybody be in love with this
Nobody's house round here's got a butler in
I see a heroine addict here suffering
Hold on, I used to fuck with him, that's Aaron from school I grew up with him
I used to chill, kick ball and get lunch with him. (what else)
What a shame now the hoods caught up with him,
And these hood girls completely insane, they've got more cleavage than brains
They think we're dogs 'cos we want a one nighter
No 'cos your a ho and we don't wanna wife ya
Siting here thinking how the hood left us, dead, jail, couple niggas went nuts,
Thinking about my life what do I really need
Turn need around, what I really need is the deen
The gangsters of the 21st century, no remorse screaming Fuck the penitentiary
They'll run-upon you while your with your ex talking about your pregnancy.
Then pill your wig for your Ecstasy,
Now revenge is a must, and your friends get gloves, then ride on 'em with that 38 snub
We'll take yours if you take one of us, that's what they thinking as they drive your mums
Kick off the door than they beat off that gun
So you duck and you run, and all you thinking is they come to my mums; are they dumb?
And the cycle goes on, and the riding don't stop, and people from both sides getting dropped
If you grew up in a gang then I know you can relate
I wish someone schooled us earlier, now it's too late
Before the gips set saga, before kone lost his father
The road tings dead, but we learnt this all after

There's way more to life than the hood
I don't car who the baddest, meanest, person is, can't take that to your grave with you homes
We learnt the hard way, but it made us who we are today
And that's real talk

That's way I think about it daily
It's like god took Carl just to save me
From then I knew I'd never be the same me
Now I see sense that shit changed me
Yeh, I've been through a lot
Surrounded by these fools that would rather see me drop
I was at the bottom with visions of the top sitting in jail tyrnna think out of the box
I remember the times when, life was just hype and excitement
Yeh, we should've been revising, but we was busy running from the sirens
Now all these bright lights got me wanting more
Just came off the phone and me and mum just had the longest talk
But when the sky falls I know I'll still be wishing that we had bonded more
But from trying wrap food to trying to make rap tunes
Get out of the trap before it traps you
Hoping Karma don't catch you
'Cos lifes all Twitter till
They're pointing guns at you
Why would you wanna go legit when crime pays
Don't go uni, still got high grade
Trying to move forward
Friends are moving sideways
'Cos they love it when your down here when your up feeling like you're stuck
Ain't got nobody to trust
Now you're moving power when your with the chick
Cos those stoosh girls will have you in little mix
And all you wanna do is leave the ends
Cos where was everybody when you need them?
The hoods fucked yeh I see it now, I'm just pissed I couldn't see it then

It's like you have to see it to actually know you don't wanna be in it, it's like my mum always used to say to me

If don't have it you must feel it, and we done a lot of feeling, a lot feelin
