ghetts - brothers in arms lyrics

[intro]
brothers in arms…
at any time i can be seen with blood on my garms
let the beat breathe for a minute man
lewi white… yo, look

[verse 1]
there’s so many shootouts
who don’t wanna move house
but which areas peaceful?
not many i know in the borough
i wanna go to another place
but my mind, body and soul’s in the gutter
my life’s like holes in a hummer
all eyes on me
and i still get public transport alone with a cutter
i ain’t promoting black on black crime
but it’s true my foes are of colour
i get cream ‘cos i put the c0ke in the b-tter
being devoted and suffer
they wanna see me scrimpin’ and scr-pin’
or in burger king with an apr-n
i’ve been snaked by my own kind
so now i’ve gotta live with the asians

[chorus]
stuck in the slums…
brothers in arms bussin’ the guns
mothers alarmed hugging their sons
and that’s why i pray…
days are getting shorter
my wage is getting smaller
i’ma take it to the border

[verse 2]
fiends waiting on the corner
feds circling the block
this place is like a sauna
it’s certainly hot
(and thats why i blaze)
the stress is way too much
i ain’t saying that it’s best you take a drug
but me? i smoke ’til my heads green
’til i see the world in double vision like it’s split screen
the youngers told me times have changed since i was 16
they think of big dreams
dont blow your brains through your windscreen
for status alone
papers a bonus, imma aim at the vultures
so much weight on my shoulders
who you tryna take for a donut
with a 2-2 you ain’t a grown up
i’ve seen so many bets rolled up
in a war and i go nuts
l!ck somebody’s head with a golf club
somebody’s dead when the chrome busts

[bridge] x2
what would martin say?
what would malcolm think?
how can we last this way?
we’ll soon be found extinct…

[excerpt from martin luther king’s “i have a dream” speech delivered 28 august 1963, washington d.c.]
i am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation

[verse 3]
we rollin’ around in tints
won’t see me going out with a link
when it’s a one off we going out in a sprint
my own people pray for my downfall
i’m taking a mound full of bullsh-t!
and you know what?
i’ll feel like taking them out with a full clip
but some n-ggas are all lip
but some n-ggas are not so even the k!llers are cautious
we all out for the figures, the spinners and porsches
no point sticking up paupers
i’m picking orders, break down a brick into quarters
i got a list full of ballers that show off like hit performers
my stick’s enormous

[bridge] x2
what would martin say?
what would malcolm think?
how can we last this way?
we’ll soon be found extinct…
