Rise Up

(Album: Part & Parcel - 2013)

Well Forest Gate was in my heart
Manor Park was in my arteries
I guess after all the parties Walthamstow's become a part of me
And bunning all this Woodford Green has made me Chingford Hatch
A plan, so yeah man, I will be Leytonstone'd
But at least I will know where I stand
And I dunno about the Rio Grande, but I'll tell you 'bout the River Thames
And I've never been to Montego Bay, but I'll tell ya about the Ilford Ends
And on the real fam, man I deal with friends
And I'll never put a Dagenham, and yes, I will go barking mad
If the people start attacking 'em and I Wanstead on my own
But they now there is a crew of us
So watch out you don't get Clapton Road
If you man out to slew on us, and big enough for the two of us
This town don't seem to be
Been up and down the Lea Bridge Strip like each and every week singing

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(Dis ah the wickedest sound)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time

So I bet you think you're rougher than them, tougher than them
See you dying to cry 'cause I play you like instrument
Calling out the mad men, 'cause man can't understand them
I tread on the level because no where is where I can't step

I bet you think you're knowing how to fight for survival
Living off the government and pray from the Bible
I bet you think you know about the roots but it's no rival
I'm rocking the Baroque, larking with Bach
I'm analyzing

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(Dis ah the wickedest sound)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(Dis ah the wickedest sound)

I tell them, rise up
Me ah listen good music inna evening, until the morning time
Rise up
Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight, until the sun start shine
Rise up
Me ah listen good music inna evening, until the morning time
Rise up
Me ah dance ah Reggae music inna midnight, until the sun start shine

The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(Dis ah the wickedest sound)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(We are the roughneck scouts)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
(Dis ah the wickedest sound)
The Skints we are gonna kill you inna this here time
