High Rise Songtext
von The Bug feat. Manga Saint Hilare

Man rally & pattern in real life
I don′t do it if it do't feel right
Sitting down thinking about how my life was
A lot of things I don′t want to feel twice
Im on the outside & I'm out ere
Survival is key,
When I kill time
And it might seem that it looks good
But when you look closely you'll see why

We can′t take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise
We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise

We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode


We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise


Man have been down from the beginning
So many L's can′t tell who's winning
Jump on the train with no ticket
Got £2 chips & chicken
& If we slip then we're finished
Man ae regulating an ends they aint been in
Any chance of quick money then we′re in it
Coz man are dying to make a living
That′s how it goes though
Blacked out Polos
Bills have got us in a chokehold
The city is too fast for the slow dough
Bright lights & the shops that don't close
You′re getting laughed at if you've got old clothes
That′s why they're stunting with no dough
So focused on the wrong things
But you can′t teach man what you don't know
So fuck it
More crabs in the bucket
More shots & more cuttings
& Karma don't cut it
They come back around
And let off something for nothing
But you won′t get something for nothing
Everything a price we need profit
Its a mad cycle when you clock it
& We don′t be free until we stop it
We don't pamper we don′t pet
Stay alert when we step
Worry about now & not next
Because that's all we get
We don′t respond to no threats
We seen worse in the flesh
Money power respect
We don't have that on the ends

We can′t take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don't know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise
We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise

We can′t take the high road
We just screw face & explode

We don't know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise

Its the same thing everywhere
More or less
Less for us & more for them
Then they make us go war for them
Bun a fire on all of them
Suck your mum cuz all offence
Bare distractions it′s all finese
They're saying they care
But they don′t care
Fake love it's all pretend
They don′t understand us down here
They can't step one foot down here
Looking at us from the inside
But all of my peoples out ere
A bag of survivors out ere
A lot of surprises round here
If even they try to make it hard for us
We pattern up & stay out ere
We still aint standing up with them
Fall down get back up & pattern up again
Money gets low then its never been a ting
Go do freeze get the bally on again
We try digging out out debt
We get to zero then they add it on again
We'll never forget
We′re in the trenches while they′re sitting on the fence

We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise
We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode
We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise

We can't take the high road
We just screw face & explode

We don′t know nothing about the high life
We live in flats in the high rise
