chester p - little man lyrics

[intro: chester p skit]
oi little man
that was really good, man
feels like everything’s just …
man’s just trying …
to get by … by …
but life’s …
difficult but …

[verse 1: chester p]
so little man
take your little friend’s hand
push it high in the sky
show the world that you free now
little man, run come follow me now
little man, run come follow me now
in the city where the summer is a grey cloud
in a breakdown, hate drowned in the state pound
all we down is stay down on the same ground
in the gutter, when the world is our playground
little man, your world is bigger than a staircase
bigger than the slums and the whole wel-fare state
and, little man, don’t wade in the crime wave
there’s a world outside of the mindstate
and little man, don’t think like time waits:
time takes, leaves you with a blind hate
and it’s true, that life is a black hole
but there’s more than the cats and the crack hoes
and there’s more than the job and the mortgage
car and the dog, wife and the four kids
there’s a whole new ground to be walked on
out of the bounds in the dark with the torch on
there’s a world full of hate that will crush you
there’s a world for life, full of love too
and, little man, all i know about the street thing
you’re in the street, ain’t you that the streets sing

[chorus: ?]
running free
let me run the river’s run
let me be
jungle child
running wild
running free
let me run the riverside
let me be
jungle child
running wild
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

[sketch: chester p]
this is for the children, man
we’ve got secure somethin’ for these children, man
it’s like they’re tomorrow’s premonition
you understand?
it’s like they are tomorrow, man
we have to stop ignoring their needs, man
yesterday won’t work today, you understand?

[verse 2: chester p]
so little man
take your little friend’s hand
raise it up in the sky
show the world that you free now
little man, run come follow me now
little man, run come follow me now

in the city where there’s nothing but street life
kids keep knives and they never see seaside
some of them are knee-high in the street like
bears in a bee-hive, none of them’ll sleep tight
little man, the world’s bigger than a few blocks
bigger than the new creps, bigger than a few shots
little man, it’s a life full of hard times
but there’s more than the scars and the car crime
and you’re right, in the hood it ain’t all good
but in the world, little man, it ain’t all hood
i’m trying to tell you there’s a life you can live well
and, little man, you’re right on the big scale
you’re never free, but the world is a big jail
as opposed to a 12 by 6 cell
and little man, i know your mind stay shut down
for the money, nothing’s funny, see the cop-clowns
there’s a world full of hate that will crush you
there’s a life full of life, full of love too
and little man, all i know about the street thing
you’re in the street, ain’t you that the streets sing

[chorus]
running free
let me run the river’s run
let me be
jungle child
running wild
running free
let me run the riverside
let me be
jungle child
running wild
running free
let me run the river’s run
let me be
jungle child
running wild
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya

[sketch: chester p]
yo, little man
i’m talking to you, man
let me just remind you
don’t take everything too serious, you know?
you can’t always go with the grain
you can’t always go against it
everything’s what it is, man
love is the key to find yourself amongst this darkness, you know?
ultimately, little man
the world is what you make it
your mindstate is what controls things
and little man
don’t forget
you’re my favourite little man out there, you know?
