This Is Livin’

VERSE ONE - ASHER

Let me spit that old flow
Spit it kinda slow
Take it back to Nike hoodies no designer clothes
Now everybody check your selves under microscopes
Nobodies cooking porridge everybody's buying oats
When did that become acceptable nobody gives a fuck at all
When did Donald Trump become electable?
We suffered all that shit, now its coming back around
We say we're getting wavey, we just trying not to drown
It's a struggle in this city getting priced out the bits
Nobody gave a fuck before now Hackney is the shit
Maybe we just didn't notice what was happening in front of us
Out with the old, new creation of an underclass
Running fast, can't run enough to escape
Know this world will catch you if you make a single mistake
This state we're living in ain't nothing nice to live in
I'll catch you in the pub fam

CHORUS - KOSHER, MANIK MC & C.REM

Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'
Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'

VERSE TWO - MANIK MC

We're sucked in by chains, watches and copping them belts
So we stopped searching for wisdom and knowledge of self
We're lost in this hell, find us down the bottomless well
You're either slaving for your pay or sat locked in a cell
We're staying safely out their range when they're popping them shells
Flinging shot after shot til they're on top of the world
We're getting pushed to the limits til we've gone off the rails
It's like God sent his vengeance but Sodom prevailed
These doctor's don't help, they can't diagnose this
Medicating daily to banish our emotions
Going through the motions, brainwashed by adverts and slogans
We're whispering them prayers when the storms are approaching
Their fortress is tall, our horse is a trojan
Feel the chakra rising when the force is awoken
Trapped in the moment, the silence is choking
When the fire starts to rise you're a fool to provoke it

CHORUS - KOSHER, MANIK MC & C.REM

Yeah this is livin'
(Go and get a chrome, get a reach)
This is livin'
(Gun boys, pedal bikes, thieves)
Yeah this is livin'
(People hustle tryina make ps)
This is livin'
(But fuck that im'a do me)
Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'
Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'

VERSE THREE - C.REM

I can't sleep you know I think too much
Feeling all this energy this negative stuff
But i'm tryina take a lift so all this hash i chuff
And it's way too much
But all the stress is really clouding my mind
I'm feeling like my past don't mean its left behind
And i'm risking life and limb while i'm buzzing off the shine
The games that we play yeah I gamble with the dice
Way that its gone its like my heart turned cold
I've got a young body but my mind feels old
Got me living in this city where its all controlled
They got your face on the camera, your name they know
And I got a middle finger that I keep on show
And I got ten of them you know I stay on toes
Im not in the six but i'm with my woes
It's all Root 73 but you knew that though

CHORUS - KOSHER, MANIK MC & C.REM

Yeah this is livin'
(Go and get a chrome, get a reach)
This is livin'
(Gun boys, pedal bikes, thieves)
Yeah this is livin'
(People hustle tryina make ps)
This is livin'
(But fuck that im'a do me)
Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'
Yeah this is livin'
This is livin'
