phanton - london state of mind lyrics

[verse 1]

74 h0m-cides in london this year
that’s more than new york now, the city’s in fear
survival tactics practiced
to avoid drastic antics
the fact is there’s a reason for the impact
people gotta stay strapped with knifes and sometime 45.’s
not to take more lives
but to protect them while they’re in a life of crime
a life that’s worth dying
they been left in poverty most of the time
and dont worry about where their ends are
any estate that’s not yours ain’t where your friends are
when you started war there’s no mends nah
and if you’re rolling solo, no one will defend ya
i ain’t about that life but i see it happening
i see all the crack that they’re packaging
i’ve lost people to the drug trafficking
if choose to stay away and start rapping and
this is what happens with money and mankind
a result of poverty i think that you’ll find
i think of crime, when i’m in a london state of mind

[hook]

i’m in a london state of mind
in a city that ain’t kind
wrong place wrong time
and you might die
i’m in a london state of mind
in a city that ain’t ain’t kind
from the south side
where no one hears your cries

[verse 2]

and don’t let anybody know that you’re making big money
it’ll get bl–dy and ugly
if you don’t have a buddy
for protection
not to mention
the loss of your possession
and when you’re down this road there’s no redemption
just aggression cos of our cash obsession
we wouldn’t be here if the people at the top had an inspection
cos it’s easier to make money without a profession
there’s no money there to pay for a pension
in london it doesn’t matter your area
every place has a side of m-ss hysteria
we know there’s crime no matter where you are
but look at the murders this year we’ve had so far
there’s people attacking your anatomy
casualties through stabbing sprees
a tragedy on faculties
i wish wars were done p-ssively but that’s a fantasy
the lethality is insanity
cos of poverty on humanity
and broken family’s
and the actuality
is status depends on salary
so in reality if you’re struggling financially
you best forget you locality
or pick up the product and go spread it rapidly
i don’t sleep, cos sleep is the cousin of death
take the wrong turn and that’s your last breath
or theft, left for dead, with a knife in your chest
so get your money and live a life where you’re blessed
murders on the news from london most of the time
this is what happens with the rise of crime
this is how life is defined
nothings equivalent to the london state of mind

[hook]
