Chordstricken Songtext
This is Britain uncovered
In London there′s bare hunger in certain boroughs
That's where my manor is
You see all kinds
White collars to scavengers
Living in Haringey comes with its challenges
Hear my first person narrative
All demographics are covered here
Brexit′s got everybody running scared
Knowledge is power is about what you're exposed to The worlds bigger than your manor
Nobody showed you
You weren't doing what you were supposed to
Guilty by association
It′s who knows who
Friends link through degrees of separation
Real roadman who overcame deprivation
Rising above stations
Through any means
Even if there making some new enemies
He raises his eyelids
Cuz′ of lyrics he identified with
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it's designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it′s designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
There's under attainment
Aspirations
Yeah it′s about entertainment
Wanna be rappers not doctors or lawyers
When they're broke
They start thinking about employers
London′s workforce should boost its reserves
So it looks like the area it serves
Kids full of life dont know where their talents lie
Tell them they can do anything if they just try
But lethargy effects all communities
It's born out of a lack of opportunity
Cuz' we aint finding them
Achievement gaps widening
Disparities between families
Is frightening
Disadvantaged in this metropolis
We need change but we′re distance from politics
Afraid of us
They′re not engaging us
Thinking we're idiots
Where are the government initiatives
He raises his eyelids
Cuz′ of lyrics he identified with
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it's designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it′s designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
It's the careless lacking awareness
And some still turn to crime with good parents
Brought up by his friends and nearest and dearest
But none of them can explain his mum and dad′s disappearance
Caught up in the gangs them
No love at home
He's at home with the mandem
Befriending
Man at risk of offending
Taught to shot by those who he thought was his bredrin
You see him in the hood misunderstood
You're wrong if you think he′s up to no good
He won′t open up if you just met the breh
Young and naive but he wasn't born yesterday
Was celebrating my wedding with my partner
The London riots happen the day after
Missed it all on my wedding day
Have to tell a breh
He raises his eyelids
Cuz′ of lyrics he identified with
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it's designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
Where it′s designated
Struck a chord and it resonated
Right at your heart strings
In London there′s bare hunger in certain boroughs
That's where my manor is
