[Doc Brown:]

My generation talk of money and ice

They want it all, but they don't wanna learn, read, study or write

It's like, see rappers flossin', I don't care what they spend

I'm goin' shoppin' for food and tryna pay rent

Needin' bucks for them utility bills

Cuz to get ya heat cost enough to give ya the chills

I'm bringin' the real deal not a fantasy

Still it has to be said that I'd rather be livin' happily

ever after instead of disaster

Half the youths don't even know which bred is their father

Boys becomin' men without the men around them

And when men are around them they're breakin' in someone's housin'

I came up out the cracks of the pavement, my life is real

Despite that I ain't the type to steal

Thinks it's very rare we write to kill

And the mic is still the only weapon that I like to feel

In my firm grip, learn this from other word smiths

Who roam the Earth before the Hell fire burnt it

Earn it, even before Tottenham turned mean

Toxteth, St Bulls, race riots in Burnley

Everybody's Crazy and somebody will get it

I stress it, even if Nas already said it

Cuz man are actin' like it ain't happenin'

But we always bring it to the surface, that's the power of this rap thing

[Doc Brown:]

Rappers like me don't always break through

Cuz we dedicate tunes to somethin' you can relate to

I don't know no one wearin' platinum fronts

Rollin' through the hood on twenty inch rims, ain't happen once

But I know about ridin' the trains, takin' the bus

Plus I know about hidin' the pain, makin' a fuss

Packin' my shit and havin' to move

Like when my mum started crackin' the whip, I started rappin' for food

Then I learned to make cash in more ways than one

Without crime or government time payin' me none

Don't watch me, I'm relentless

If I'm rappin' Sundays, Mondays I'll fund raise for young offenders

All my life my eyes been on the grime

Like a target that people wanna sweep under the carpet

The so called rotten eggs, bad apples of the bunch

But that's why our music pack a little punch cuz

[Doc Brown:]

Got educated so I bring down the system and over stand it

So if there's a twisted bigger picture I know who planned it

My peers cuss me, sayin, "jeez don't study"

Call me sell-out cause I'm tryna be somebody

Sayin', "look if you a rapper you can't chat that shit", what?

"That Martin, Malcolm, Mohammed, flat shit", shut up man

"You need to keep it real, keep it gangster like me", why?

"What's the matter Doc, too much time with wifey?"

Nah listen up, save all that talk for someone who give a fuck

I got avenues, big plans man different stuff

As for you, when all of your rappin' shit dry up

You'll be in the greasy spoon cookin' my fry up

I'll tell you somethin' straight from the heart

Don't let a man try and make you think that you should feel ashamed of bein' smart

How are we gonna be embarrassed of that

Just because I read a few books doesn't make me and aristocrat

I'm listenin' out for classical rap

Gettin' opinions on what it's like to try and be a man if you're black

I feel like every album's lackin' a track

Positive, peace, purpose, progress, what happened to that? Cuz
