Concrete Jungle

(album: Average Man - 2020)

[Lisi:]
Remember those days
No one in the world ever looked round my ways
But now that I'm here, its' time to let em know
I'm pushing for the top and I'll never let go
It was never supposed to be like this
It was never supposed to be like this
And now were trying to change the life we live
I said were tryna change the life we live

Imagine life in the switch, living as an island kid
Watching brothers becoming victims to the environment
Trouble all around us but no one could ever silence it
You wonder how the fuck we could never be sick or tired of it?
This is where we live, its' all we've ever known
So you know my brothers always gotta represent home
We stay true to the 43 double 0
When we get a platform we gotta let em know
I put on for that, Ipswich, My District, where dis' kid, Lisi
Found out he was gifted, now since then hes' been shifted from
Shit kicks to hop up on the mic and spit shit for a biscuit
Uplifting all these younger generations, thats been livin their lives
With mental Hesitation, coz we grew up in Goodna we feel like
We're separated from the privileged kids
Who gotta a better education
But its not about the school you went to
Its about that undercover shit that you've been through
Like when your out there, spitting sums
My boys were out there, pushing packs like scrums
Like while these other kids were all Seki
Us boys were running round the hood, door-stepping

Remember those days
No one in the world ever looked round my ways
But now that I'm here, its' time to let em know
I'm pushing for the top and I'll never let go
It was never supposed to be like this
It was never supposed to be like this
And now were trying to change the life we live
I said were tryna change the life we live

Growing up in the switch, it was a big bitch
Trying to get the dosh, me and my usos coz we mischiefed
The area we lifitin, under tough conditions
Ain't a mormon but I was a man on a mission
Just tryna get paid, kept that lowkey
I never chose this life but this life chose me
But now I'm on a stage, and the people know me
Of course you understand I gotta' rep the 43
I back that
Ive had it down since day one
Always been upfront to let em know where I came from
We came from a town, full of brown, all around
Where we found, that this sound is the one we speak loud on
I'm telling them now, it's never gonna' stop
You would understand if you came from a block
I'm just a young uso tryna' aim for the top
And always represent till I'm laying in a box
Instead they saying shit, its more like inspiration
I'm tryna reach out, to the future generation
Let em know that dedication, will lead you to your dream
If you keep that concentration
Forget about the hate, my uso dig deep
Coz all I ever wanted was to see us all eat
So Amafari a'am locki, my uso don't buckle
Because you came from the concrete jungle
