Titolo: [the streets] has it come to this

Un gran pezzo di hip hop britannico. Switters buttaci un orecchio.
------
Has it come to this
Original pirate material
You're listenin' to the streets
Lock down your aerial
Make yourself at home
We got Diesel
Or some of that home grown
Sit back in your thrown
Turn off your phone
Cos this is our zone
Videos, televisions, 64s, playstations
Web henry with precision
Few herbs and a bit of Benson
But don't forget the Rizla
Lean like the Tower Of Piza
These are...
A ways a...
And this is a day in the life of a geeza
For this ain't a club track
Pull out your sack and sit back
Whether you white or black
Smoke weed, chase brown or toot rock
We're on a mission
Support the cause
Sign a petition
Summon all your wisdom
The music's a gift from
The man on high
The Lord and his children
Trip or team of your rudeboys
Come rain or snow the boodah flows
You don't know
Stand on the corner
Watch the show
cos life moves slow
Sort your shit out and then roll
Sex, drugs and on the dole
Some men rise, some men fall
I hear you call
Stand tall now
Has it come to this
Original pirate material
You're listenin' to the streets
Lock down your aerial
I'm just spittin
Think I'm ghetto
Stop dreaming
My data's streaming
I'm givin your bird them feelings
Touch your toes then touch the ceiling
We walk the tight rope of streed cred
Keep my dogs fed
All jungle, all garage heads
Gold teeth, Valentino's and dreads now
Verbally slapped up
Physically tip top
Spineally ripped up
I do the science on my laptop
And get my boys mashed up
You're listening to the streets
You'll bear witness to some amazing feats
Bravery in the face of defeat
All line up and grab your seat
Cos Tony's got a new motor
SR Nova
Drivin like a joyrider
Speeding to the corner
Your mother warned your sound system banger
Has it come to this
Original pirate material
You're listenin' to the streets
Lock down your aerial
My underground train runs from Milend to Ealing
From Brixton to Boundsgreen
My spittin's dirty
My beats are clean
Smoke weed and be lean
I step out my yard through the streets
In the dead heat
All i got's my spirit and my beats
I play fair don't cheat
And keep the gangsters sweet
Turn the page
Don't rip it out at your rage
Move to the next stage
Lock the rage inside the cage
Like SK, it's a new day
But don't take the shortcut through the subway
Its pay or play
These geeza's walk the gangway
Deep seeded urban decay
Deep seeded urban decay
Rip down posters alight from last week's big garage night
And the next Tyson fight
I cook 'em at 90 degrees farenheit
And don't copy the copyright
I got 'em in my sights
Blinded with the lights
Taken to dizzy new heights
Blinded with the lights
Blinded with the lights
Dizzy new heights
Has it come to this
Original pirate material
You're listenin' to the streets
Lock down your aerial

 e' stato uno dei dischi dell'anno... ne parlai alcuni mesi fa...marzo?...
ma non ebbi nessuno che seguii' la discussione... anche quelli che stanno
sempre a rompere che si parla solo (ed e' vero..) di anni muffosi..;)
ad ogni modo il suo disco e' stato candidato anche al Premio Mercury e tutti
eravamo convinti che vincesse... inevce e' arrivato secondo...
il disco e' veramente bello... Afra mi chiese di qualcosa di simile ed io
gli segnalai Lui...poi non so se l'abbia preso...
sono contento che altri adesso ne parlino....
ciao
