lyrics

On the hunt for quick money, play the dangerous game /
Got that black market sales pitch paying his wage /
One where prison, police and his rivals in competition /
Are common place on the risk assessment page he fills in, mentally /

Can't afford to write it down /
And when the raids happen, he won't hear a siren sound /
Practice business in the kinda town all the fiction writers hype about /
On the grapevine's where he finds it out /

From the stash house to where their team's hiding out /
Quite engrossed, eyeing grows, keep the bat behind the couch /
For when the doors knocking, not a wolf in sight /
Handy with the hatchet, Blaskowicz in Wolfenstien /

He's still waiting on the documentary /
Ross Kemp gets the scoop but NCA's force their entry /
Gloves and Ballied in the interview /
spying undercovers while he blends it round, stick and move /

Cookin' deals up, shiftin' the weight /
Stuff the car with that premium product that pays more than regular jobs could /
And street knowledge isn't assessed the same way schools or colleges test us /

Clock his mood coz often it's stress plus /
A lot of his friends aren't friends, they just wanna ingest bud /
No thoughts behind the transaction /
How's it going? Sound. Sound. That's a tens mush. /

Safe. Take it easy. Now he's on his way /
Coz money grows on trees and he knows just how to tend the strain /
Gettin' too greedy, dabbling with naughty stuff /
Different clientele are calling up, even though they know it's poisonous /

Paranoia hits and he can feel the heat embroiling plus /
..... Absolutely, coin corrupts /
Doesn't know which, if any, of his boys to trust /
And it's a risky mission, hoping to avoid the fuzz /

And some are turning green with envy /
Even though it seems, together, that they're eating plenty /
The power struggle here is one that's got him scheming when these /
Sharks are circling, out for hurting him; the feeding frenzy /

Where he's bitten with a double cross /
And now he owes the wrong kinda people more than running costs /
When a trip was organised across the border to the North of us /
A damn informant tipped the rozzers off /

Little did he know who was lying in wait /
It was a set up from the get go, they were spying for days /
Arrested at the rendezvous, sittin' in cuffs /
Keeps it shtum, won't be spillin' his guts, no comment /
