Skinnyman - Day To Day Basis lyrics

rate me

[Intro: "interviewer" (Skinnyman)]

"So Skinnyman, now that you've signed a deal with talkin loud and your currently

recording your album, how's this altered your lifestyle...?"

(Let me play this one, tell you exactly how it is in ?

cause in my life, ain't nuttin nice...check ya blud...)

[Skinnyman]

Nowadays I live my life on a day to day basis

cuz everybody in the whole fam's got cases

romin the streets that are full of the screw faces

resortin us back to the blocks that are on the stair cases

we hope we don't get to face the bases

who wanna try and raise us to take the papers, laterz

to what my whole council estate is

dwellin on the city on top of these sky scrapers

me? I keep a watch over the whole of my acres

to those who wanna take us from 5'0's to fakers

cuz all were tryin'a be is money makers

so we might have had a chance to escape from some of these derelict places

were livin life at fast paces

It's like were gutter rats tryin'a contend these rap races

so best to tighten up your laces

cuz this year I'm steppin up a year to fast for you to chase us

You think id wanna stick around this town

and have to wait for a crackhead to beat my mum down

to get a phone call sayin just bring your money now

by any little ? with a bucket runnnin round

I don't love the sound of what those haters wanna do to me

thats why I'm not givin them any opportunity

for me its not about all of the money and the jewellrey

survival of the fittest-its life so now its you or me

and I don't wanna move away from the flats

but thats they only way for me to get away from these cats

I sit and wonder why the fuck it has to be like that

and wonder it would have been like if we blew up in rap

but thats a dream and me I put reality first

and yeah its real that these theives wanna steal your mums purse

does it seem, the whole of this manor is cursed

like the bubble is boilin and just waitin to burst

this generations gettin worse-these yoot man are comin up

nuttins out there for 'em so they just don't give a fuck

and they gettin to lose for them/they're out on streets late nights confused again

you put your feet in

their shoes for them

and you see what you can do for them

and you too might screw for them

and this ain't really nuttin new for them

a man like you will probably label them a hooligan

to live good or bad, but me I'm mud cause the hood is bad

dressin in rags on the ? you know my hood is mad

we worry bout gettin beat up or stabbed

now we worry bout the man thats come to shoot up the ?

the dreams we used to have are gone

for those hopes are basic needs were in the bottom of the barrel tryin'a fight for lifes necessities

those older man takin time to give advice to me

tryina show me just how nice my life could be

with me id like to share the vision

but all I see is man on a mission

my streets are full of friction

and you can check my diction

it gets deep everywhere that you go

cuz theres snakes everywhere in every ghetto you go

wo wo...

[Outro: "interviewer"]

"So there we have it, a live interview from Skinnyman

outside subterania-the infamous home of hip hop-this is ?...signing out..."
