Lowkey - From A Place lyrics
[Lowkey - From A Place lyrics]
Yeah, Lowkey! Straight from South West
(straight from South West)
Let's Go! (Let's go)
I'm from a place that
Left me psychologically scarred
A lot of crime
But many guys that wanna-be stars
Mans take it easy
But a life of poverty's hard shit is common
Like a knife 'n' robbery charge
In my life I did what
The blind majority can't
Around me fiends crave for crack
And stomp your head into the pavement
Untill your face is flat
Talking codes on the payphone
Incase it's tapped i might make a track
But still remain gutter
Till my life fades to black
Don't come around if you don't know
The right way to act
Cause there's some things that you
Have to know first
Round here the cameras don't work
Yout'-dem don't give a fuck for another man
If you take a loss
Bounce back like a rubber band
Understand pricks try to test you
This life is stressful
If your quite successful
Wolves that are quick to slash your temples
I might get a few rings
And customize new kicks
Just let me do my thing
Don't fuck with my music
I'm an emcee from my head to my toes
It runs in my blood, in my flesh and my bones
The pen is my best friend
I'm never depressed and alone
I'm an underground cat with
A professional flow, destined to blow
Emcees need to backup and
Let their testicles grow (What the fuck?)
(straight from South West)
Let's Go! (Let's go)
I'm from a place that
Left me psychologically scarred
A lot of crime
But many guys that wanna-be stars
Mans take it easy
But a life of poverty's hard shit is common
Like a knife 'n' robbery charge
In my life I did what
The blind majority can't
Around me fiends crave for crack
And stomp your head into the pavement
Untill your face is flat
Talking codes on the payphone
Incase it's tapped i might make a track
But still remain gutter
Till my life fades to black
Don't come around if you don't know
The right way to act
Cause there's some things that you
Have to know first
Round here the cameras don't work
Yout'-dem don't give a fuck for another man
If you take a loss
Bounce back like a rubber band
Understand pricks try to test you
This life is stressful
If your quite successful
Wolves that are quick to slash your temples

And customize new kicks
Just let me do my thing
Don't fuck with my music
