Life in Blackpool

B-unit rap

I walk down the street
People dealing crack and smack
I’ve had enough of this
I want to fight back
I wish drugs were gone
It’s hurting us all
Everybody’s getting high and having a ball
We’re all taking this ****, thinking we’re hard
I’m just a retard
My emotions are scarred
Bring a war on drugs; stop this war on kids, when all we wanna do is play like kids
Drugs takin’ over
Even dad’s on the crack
Feel like you wanna hit him
He might hit you back
Selfish attitude – he won’t give you a hug
A cause of pain – it’s not a crime – where’s the love?

Here we go again
I’m only walking down the street
In this town, I only want some peace
But here they come, the bullying police
They’re on my back
Just coz they think I'm smoking crack
But I don’t do that ****
Coz it’ll send me to the pit
Hanging in crowds, down in the town
Thinking of something to do, nearby and around
Asking myself the very same question
Why won’t they leave me alone?
To talk to my friends in private on the phone?

I woke up this morning
My parents are snoring
I don’t know why it is
My family is boring
I’m drunk and stoned and always home alone
All my mates are away
I’ve got no-one to phone
Mum and dad are at the pub
It’s too late for youth club
I may as well go out and get drugged up
This life is boring, this life is crap
I’d rather go out and get drunk and smoke crack

Chorus
One, here comes the two to the three to the four
Getting stressed out, can’t take it anymore
Five to the six to the seven to the eight
I need things to do; I’m bored out of my face
Five to the four to the three two one
We want the drugs in this town to be gone
One to the two to the three four five
We’ve got to make a change to live better lives

No more dealers
Streets are clean and so is dad
You can call me a grass
But I’m no longer sad, no longer mad, no longer bad
Appreciate what I have
I’m feeling glad
Seeing people with class, honour and respect
No more thieves,
No more burglars and thugs slamming ya
No more violent scenes disturbing ya
Peace on the streets
North south west and east

Not every young person is into crime
All the police need to do is give us some time
To get our point across
And to stop trying to be the boss
We need more free youth clubs
Kids’ pubs
But is it really our fault?
Why isn’t it yours?
Why don’t we give you
A better training course?
We have nothing to do
And it’s all coz of you
Wherever we go - It’s always a no-go
We need to talk – its time for a change
Let’s find a solution
And stop the blame
All I ever do is sit home alone
And that’s just because there’s nowhere to go
‘ You can’t go here, you can’t go there’
All I’ve got to say is it just aint fair
We need to meet half way
Cost we still wanna play
And be somewhere we feel ok

Not all families are all that bad
Like the ones that are pretty sad
I just wanna do things
With my mum and dad
They just don’t understand
What its like to be me
I wish they could see
That I need to be free
From this stress, this pain
It’s driving me insane
I’m always to blame - I don’t know why I’m playing this game
Why can’t they be what I want them to be?
To respect me and treat me like a human being
That’s what I wand to be seeing
But with all due respect
Id rather lives my live having fun, and not being a bad son.

Chorus
