wretch 32 – 2 minute silence lyrics
[verse]
you said that you love me through all of my flaws and i’m the cure and the cause
and i’m the reason you grew up to fight the system and war
you loved me when i was there, but love me more now i’m gone
and often you shed a tear, but there’s no point cryin’, it’s fine
i’ma start by sayin’ how much i’m proud of how much you’ve grown, how much you sold
i’m losin’ count of how much you won’t fold under pressure, you hold it down
with the family on your shoulders, you carry the name around
but you’re walkin’ with strength
i came here with your grandad, we were fortunate then
’cause it was round about the time when all the poor people fled
heard that england was the promised land with pounds instead of dollars
so we windrush to the promise in the hope of findin’ solace
build a family was the project
and buy a mortgage with the money
so as soon as we die, you can argue with your brothers ’bout inheritance and numbers like this is why we suffered
the problem with your generation is you benefited from the renovation
you just moved in like you had reservations
in a basin where i used to wash stood on a stone
western union, where i had to go when callin’ home
you got it all all at your fingertips
if you had it hard, then you really had to graft, would i see one of your fingerprints?
we had to walk so you can run
so i don’t wanna hear ’bout you’re fightin’ for any slums
there’s a war goin’ on outside and it’s my grandson’s
they frighten the neighbours with all their handguns
the government send the police in to k!ll the bad man
it’s funny ’cause they fightin’ for places they both abandoned
my son went to jail, then his son went to jail
is there love in the trail? are they all of the rails?
so they buy and they sell, out of love with themselves
say the family is fake, but the diamonds are real
all i see is bad b+tches chattin’ gyal business and some gang business
funny, we nah even have business
all i hear is rap n+ggas take a man’s figures and his trap business
funny that’s some real trap business
i speak from a position of love ’cause everyone wants to judge
and everyone’s as sensitive as it comes
but when it’s all said and done, what we done was enough
i hope you all can say the same to your sons, granny
