'She Fucks The Pain In It's Arse'

Fucking the pain away,
With a bottle of vodka and a cigarette,
In my head it's painless but in yours it's tasteless,
I think it's tasteful,
I think it's cool,
I think it's rock,
I think you're bad 'cos you jumped out of school,
Yet you find yourself dancing and singing in your bathroom mirror,
With the lights turnt down so you think you look slimmer,
And you wake up in the morning with three empty bottles almost strategically placed round you with cigarette burns in your dress,
And to you that confirms to you that your life is almost certainly a mess.

'Snooping Forces'

Time trickles,
As days dribble,
There's smoke in the air,
One more puff,
Or two,
Here's one more puff,
Just for you,
Take it in,
Feel the sensation,
My Air Force Ones,
Of the next generation,
We're here for all,
We're about integration,
I'm white, I'm yellow,
I'm black, I'm blue,
So here it is,
One more puff,
Just for you.

Problems? What Problems?

The papers are calling it 'A Postcode War',

The neighbours call it 'an eye sore',

But if there's nothing to do for these kids,

Like sports or arts or music or fashion or more after school activities,

Then it'll only happen more,

Instead of fucking about with what's happening now,

Just use your heads and get to the core.

Be Proud

Be proud of yourself,
Be proud of your skin,
Be proud of your culture,
And what is within,
Be proud of your life,
Be proud of your mum,
Be proud of your dad,
And everything that you're in.
And be proud that one day you'll be up in the sky looking down,
Being proud that you were part of what we are in now,
Be proud and accept responsibillity,
Be cool to your friends,
And don't become a liability,
Be proud of yourself,
And be proud from within,
Be proud motherfucker,
You are who you are,
So take a deep breath in.

Redeem Yourself

Emotion?

You want emotion?

I'll give you emotion,

Devotion?

You want devotion?

I'll give you devotion,

But redemption,

Don't you mention redemption.
