THE SCOTTS
Same Old
[Verse 1: Scotts]
BBoys rock my rotten city blocks
Cops on they jock, you hear the kids poppin off
'Get the fuck away from me you motherfucking cock'
The cop think the kid selling rock, so he lofts
A black baton, the baton drops
One more ambo called, one more kid cuffed
Weedheads sparking my city's nightlife
The smell of pot's rife, the smoke weaves around
The dealer's knife, the buyer ain't pay up
So the supplier spays him up
At home his lady got their bed made up
Then came thе call that fucked his mates' heads up
As shе fall down to the floor
Their little three-year old strolls through the door
And he say, 'Mummy, what's wrong with your make-up?'
Fuck, it's like Simplex said
‘We journey down train lines like they’re pilgrimage paths’
The census though, yo it don't account
For masochistic pricks with foul dicks
The actions of a rapist makes me sick
Suffa said it, a ‘real man never lays hands on a woman’
So I guess my question is, why live life so livid?
Why not live life like life be in it?

[Chorus: Gina Lily]
Take my hand
Cause I’m numb to the pain
Cocaine reigns
It takes me down
I live my life
On the edge of a dream
Keep swimming upstream
Won’t you save me now?
[Verse 2: Vankwish]
(Lights camera, action)
Take a breath bro and inhale the vapour
The ether’s more pure than the Neverfail flavour
Forget your pain and let the grail be your saviour
Float into the ocean and set sail for Jamaica
He’s a trailblazer, off the scale like a jailbreaker
Tweaking out his brain, reading brain with a frail neighbour
Savour the pasty saliva, his itchy skin’s
Tighter than the skin of a saber-tooth tiger
Laserlite veins lay slain from his plain sight
Snake bites, oxygen depraved like a cave diver
Saves his life with the waving of a knife
But he’s play fighting (man) cause the ice is like a slave driver
Stage a riot in the lobby of DOCS
To protest the shacks built on sovereign rock
Where’s the voice of the meek claiming freedom of speech?
It’s raging inside a muzzle while we’re sleeping in peace
When did struggling people become the creatures that we keep?
Strays are left locked out and bleeding on a seat
Mutts are fed what looks like the recently deceased
While drug battling birds have no reason to tweet
Police officers preach they’re steepening the peace
While the innocent sheep they seek are pleading for release
You can wash the wound and apply pressure to the bleeding
Or just take a peek, sit back and weep
[Interlude: Gina Lily and Vankwish]
Ooh, ooh-ohh (same old, same old)

[Chorus: Gina Lily and Lilliam Strawn]
Take my hand
Cause I’m numb to the pain
Cocaine reigns
It takes me down
I live my life
On the edge of a dream
Keep swimming upstream
Won’t you save me now?

[Outro: Gina Lily and Lilliam Strawn]
