Skinnyman - No Big Ting lyrics

rate me

[Chorus]

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life blud)

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (no role models up in here, what?)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice

[Verse 1]

blud I'm not sayin that I'm anything, who am I to give man advice?

It's not that I know best, when trust blud I don't

all I know is if your comin from this manor I'm from

You'll find nuff man'll test ya don't think they won't

everybody is on their own little hustle just to find a way to try get thru

when your raised in this fuckry

and if your makin some papes on these estates man'll try and get you

so you run and grab your bucky

You count your blessins everyday but still accept you'll have to take your loses

It's money that your makin

especially if your comin up in the ranks

against the big crime bosses that are all sittin hatin

the jealous ones'll always envy so you dare say it now who wants it

let them fuckers spite ya

they're out to get you so you get them first

And look now uve done it cause your arrived in a lifer

stop

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (man ain't tryin to be nothing big blud)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't really tell you how to live your life, get me)

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (nuttin big star)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice

[Verse 2]

I'm from a manor where the last 20yrs have been infested

by the crack-cocaine, that you'll find man endeavourin

to come down from the prang man are shovin needles in thier vein

with juice full up of heroin

we are all stuck in this struggle but its not as if we can't see

that nuff mans out there shottin work

they use it for an escape as if its really gonna set man free

when we are still diggin in the dirt

the schools are underacheivin in the grades so its minumum wage

by the time you go to look a job

but on the streets we are learnin every other aspect of the criminal trade

so instead we gonna look to rob

It's like a gamble for your life on this manor so you hope that you win

or else you'll just be runnin shook

and I can't tell you how to live any better I ain't no big ting

trust me listen to the hook

look

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I'm not tryin to be no big thing)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice (I can't tell you how to live your life at all)

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing (I ain't tryin to be no biggie blud)

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice

[Verse 3]

so what's the method for the madness

for any of these kids who get left out on these streets

where you find evrybody's frettin

and walkin round with screw faces thinkin that

pure bad beefs is all their likely plan to getting

don't let anybody get in your way

from tryin to chase your dreams blud, whatever they might be

You've got to go for whatever you wanna be no matta

if that might seem however unlikely

if you don't go make a start for the betta then your shit won't change

and you'll just get left behind

and end up like so many brothers who still out here

goin insane feelin' like they've lost their mind

so get lost in the dust if your not goin to make your start

instead of just sittin and wishin

nobodys getting any younger so you know

you 'av to play your part

if you wanna betta your position

listen

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice

I'm not tryin to be, no big thing, no no

I'm not tryin to give you, no advice
