Soy Un Cabrón

Joey Badass, Freddie Gibbs - Carry On Freestyle Chum Mix

[Chorus]
Ain't no question that I need it, I breathe it
Feel my legacy just slipping away from me
On the Overground, so why you faking? I'm saying
I will never let these concrete walls fall down, down, down

Not for nothing, I foresaw this, I dreamed it
Feel my future slowly drifting away from me
No more chances, if you waste this, you’re faithless
I will never let these concrete walls fall down, down, down

[Verse 1]
Council estate chances, the siren dances
And eventually answers to the call of crisis
All them falling for the talk of balling
Get caught with nothing, the cop just looks indifferent
Inter-city anthems based on inner-city problems
Based off the way that we're painted
Face it, my man gets more stops than a tourist
And in the station, they check right through my bag
And tell me that it's random
But we stay building
This whole scheme is a bad design, it needs a proper ending
And a new funding, and a new feeling
And some real opportunities that's fulfilling
This the real world, brother, school’s finished
They done stole the youth clubs, you don't know who did it
I treat this postcode the way the council treats hope
I won't be satisfied 'til all my people get it, get it?

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Is 'community' a euphemism for a new sedition?
The soul of Windrush that this new youth is missing?
But this is more than just my road to ambition
Gil Okoro got the whole estate locked in attention
Long as I'm in a tracksuit smiling, they think they own me
But they’d try to break me if they ever saw the real me
Thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
If a brother ain't kicking a football, winning a track meet
But this king is at the top of Brixton Hill, fearless
Ready for their games, this is my Olympics
They call us Humbaba when the tower gets pimpish
Sprayed a mural on the hoardings with a message
I insisted to get right up off their guest list
And these photo-ops, man, I can’t digest it
Reminds me how they treated my mother, so disrespected
If I ever wasn't for the people, I must have missed it

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I need less talk and more light
And that Home Office minister out of my sight
She told the papers she's trying to clean up the schools
Then sent Project Taurus with their riot-squad rules
It's been a minute since I watched the news
'Cause like a blocked drain, I got way too many blues for any more bad views
Was looking at my brother, feeling real blessed that day
They deploy the Bull of Heaven, now Kofi's yesterday
And what's a Black hero anyway? A fuckin' story?
I guess that's why they got my brother's name in their reports
My man said I need a different resort
'Cause people are looking at me like I’m gonna fall short
It's not a headline anymore, try different tropes
Tell 'em hug and kiss my grief, X and O
And kiss the ring while they at it, build a thing while I got it
Play strings for the tragic ending of that foul shit
Act like I ain't lost a brother in this madness
I ain't got him, I'm building over whoever who had us
I’m building over whoever, who had us
You blowing up our ends, that's good? Fantastic
That, y'all, it's like that, y'all
I don't really give a damn about a wrecking ball
'Cause the same system that tried to blackball me
Forgot about two things: these bricks and my memory

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Ayy, yo
I done seen plans, lived in vans, fam
Seen vulture funds, empty clubs, steal the land from these hands
Counting Ls, smoking, one hope
Live from the towpath, a Specu-Let bag, grabbing the plans, fuck it
Steam about a hundred and one lives
Kites off to Dawkins, buying time, running up in Bridge Park
That man’s archive was special
Matched every struggle with a victory, fighting policies for decimals
The older head, the bolder head, he trained a leader’s head
Said immortality’s a plant that you must water till you’re dead
That meant code-red, bent off the black smoke
From a burnt-out bus depot, he spoke his oath
If you can't live, you're building, you give or buy in...
