Legends Don't Die
Forget dying, dying's a myth, I'm going to live, yeah?
Get me in that studio
I work from my heart and soul
And put everything into it
Kid my brother, you are a don
That is gonna get murdered
Mullahed, and squirtled
When are we gonna go through? Let me know, I am ready
Actually just got off of on the plane
And heard the beat straight away
Just gassed me, over gassed
(Are you ready?)
Grew up in Plaist, grew up with Stormin
Help put the ends on the map
Helped made Newham important
I was just nineteen when I bust my gun in Club 19
And Stormin run
Showed me the blueprint, now I'm all over the music
Cah it coulda been so different
Coulda been Titch, coulda been no different
That's my brudda too, we argue like bruddas do
I'm just talking the real
Fifteen years in, we ain't talking appeals
If you got away with the same thing
My brudda got twenty-nine for, lucky you
Mandem fi know
When they hear me say Escobar, I mean Gavin Defoe
Before Chronik and Marcus had beef, that was actually bro
You don't actually know
Plaistow, Stratford, and Bow
Leyton, Forest Gate, Hackney, and Stowe
We're catching the bodies like catching a cold
I pray death don't come for me
But if it does, I'll be in good company
That's Sparks, that's N.E
That's Major Ace, and that's Tubby T
I ain't talking 'bout my favorite part
Of the movie when I say I love the scene
We can't be stopped by death man (death man, no, no, no)
Jaykae's got the spirit of Depzman
And if anyone can make Cadet live forever, then Krept can
He loved CJ and them man
Next time I go to the mountain
I won't come back 'til I resurrect man
Oh Rude Kid, Rude Kid
I think we got one, I think we got one
This is cold
I can picture standing on it now
I can picture us going mad on it
Ghetto
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin
And that's who named me Ghetto
Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin
And that's who named me Ghetto
Legends don't die tell 'em don't cry
Although it might be painful (so painful)
Lost a friend and gained an angel (an angel)
My brudda wear a halo (halo), halo (halo)
Legends don't die tell 'em don't cry, yeah
Although it might be painful
Lost a friend and gained an angel, yeah (an angel)
My brudda wear a halo (halo), halo
All the niggas I promised
Got me thinking of Wallace
Me and him go way back
Prison slippers and porridge
Sidewinder tape packs
Prison visits in Norwich
Brainless, I just played that
Didn't like my verse
'Cause you and Fix Dot'M had bodied
I used to beg you to rap more
You wanna shoot everyone
Every time I end up in a rap war
I was like nah, it's just music
I don't wanna get blackballed
Even though I was underground
Look what I did with the platform
In school, it was mind the gap jokes
Same boy dere, I made hide the trap phones
They ain't got no spine now
I vandalized their backbones
Once again, when you hear me say Escobar
I ain't talking Pablo
I might not be here
If it wasn't for Stormin and man know
Ghetto
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin
And that's who named me Ghetto
Ghetto (Ghetto)
Day by day in the ghetto
Back in the day I had a friend called Stormin
And that's who named me Ghetto
Legends don't die tell 'em don't cry
Although it might be painful (so painful)
Lost a friend and gained an angel (an angel)
My brudda wear a halo (halo), halo (halo)
Legends don't die tell 'em don't cry, yeah
Although it might be painful
Lost a friend and gained an angel, yeah (an angel)
My brudda wear a halo (halo), halo (no, no)
It's kinda mad, I just think like
Death's part of the journey
I don't even really think death's the end
You know?
Yeah all fallen soldiers, all the legends dem, you feel me?
Hang tight Smiley Culture, man
Ghetto, life that I'm living is ghetto
Day by day, in the ghetto
Back in the day, me and my bredrin Ghetto
Licking off blocks, bare raves in the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto
Life that I'm living is ghetto
Day by day, in the ghetto
Back in the day, me and my bredrin Ghetto
Licking off blocks, bare raves in the ghetto
The ghetto, the ghetto
