Castles
(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningTears fall from the castles around my heart)(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningTears fall from the castles around my heart)My teacher told me I'm a side man, I told her to remember meNow they wanna email me, asking if I can talk to the kids in assemblyNow man are selling out WembleyNow man are twenty first centuryStatistics say I should be dead or in jailBut shit ain't the way that it's meant to beBreaking the cycleThey wish I was trapped in the systemA 6 foot tall black guy like meThat would've been a wrap in an instantThat's why I gotta speak my mind, I'mma say how it is and I never say sorryKeep my mouth shut like Winston and Tracy fam, over my dead body(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningLetras de cancionesTears fall from the castles around my heart)(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningTears fall from the castles around my heart)Too much TV, too many newspapers got a nigga thinking evilGot me thinking I'm looking at my enemy when I'm looking at my own peopleNotice when a white man looks at my watch I think he's trying to pay me a complimentWhen a black man looks at my watch I think he's trying to knock my confidence (mad)I was in Amsterdam smoking blue cheese and I had an epiphanyAll these negative preconceptions just bring more negativityInstead of investing in new businesses they buy new artilleryEverybody in the hood wants to spray a 16 and I don't mean lyricallyUnderdog psychosis spreading around in the hood like fluSecurity guards follow me around like I ain't got 2 pounds to pay for my juiceNow all this bullshit got me smoking this stupid zootTell Boris he's lucky that I made it rapping or I would've been looting tooNiggas ain't got GCSEs still don't wanna work for a minimum wageThese days man will murder a man for a box of gradeEvery time the .38 barrel spins Martin Luther turns in the graveIt's real life, no computer game, we're living in the streets of rage(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningTears fall from the castles around my heart)(As the days keep turningAs the world keeps burningAs my soul keeps learningTears fall from the castles around my heart)
