about
Speaking of getting WY rappers in to record over a batch of
beats, this was ANOTHER, this time recorded on by Eskar for
his DubWhy Studio session that never surfaced (again, my
bad) and a nice job he did to it too. Not long after I was getting
tracks together for the album though I decided I wanted to use
this, another upbeat kinda vibe, maybe a bit more of a head
nodder, probably the most “rap” track I’ve made on the album
(does that make any sense?). It’s a really blatant jack of “Use
Me” by Bill Withers, I took the drums from the same track as
well. I had to write this in a few installments, but I always had
that “this is for the pupils in school with no attention span”
start and I wanted to shape it around that, try and make it an
anthem for people putting work in. Then once I’d written the
first I jacked a verse which I had originally submitted for a
Flame Griller III track, Addverse had made a great beat and I
was really happy with the verse, but nothing happened with
it and they were sound with me taking it back to use it. I did
actually do a cheeky Facebook video to promote some Flame
Griller tees using the bars in the second verse, as well as the
chorus, but I think it works just as well for this beat, if not a
little better.
lyrics
This is for the pupils in school with no attention span/
And the teachers that know that and scrap the lesson plan/
For the people who fought bureaucracy and lost/
Trying to help their fellow man when people were yelling, “stop”/
For the red tape cutters and the rule benders/
Sometimes you’ve gotta play red light roulette with your fuel sensor/
Just to get a bit further than they tell you you can/
Get your head out the sand but don’t walk around like the elephant man/
With your head in a blan...ket you’re a human, go and tell ‘em your plan/
And if you don’t have one help someone you believe in/
Even, if the end result is not achievement/
Barely time to breathe in before the time flies/
Life is a sci-fi but we don’t have 5 lives/
Or a couple of continues so that we can come back/
And have another crack at the big boss and all his crap/
But there’ll be, wins and losses every walk of life/
And if you hide from the failure life’s short and shite/
Better facing your fears cos there’s more to fight/
If you can’t make the world better make Yorkshire right//
CHORUS
We just move forward we don’t move back/
...We don’t do that/
If’ya don’t help Yorkshire then don’t move back/
...We don’t do that/
We don’t cut corners to make you cash/
...We don’t do that/
We don’t take orders or take your crap.../
...We don’t do that//
West Yorkshire is the place, and it’s cold and it rains/
But we know the terrain, it’s God’s own, and they’re saying/
They wanna frack it and destroy it and then keep the profit/
Chemicals will leak across it, we need to stop it/
Cos: London sees the North as a faeces deposit/
Let’s see how they do when tides rise and leave ‘em bobbin/
But for now they’ll cut our flood defence budget and wonder/
Why the very next year we’re a couple feet under/
We suffer in winter, and we suffer in summer/
And we suck up to the rich cos of a couple of numbers/
Electronically stored on databases like they can’t erase it/
And replace it and say it’s gone without a trace and they sit/
And watch the world collapse in the lap of luxury/
While the rest of us riot, loot and become a bunch of thieves/
Over a trap we put ourselves in, grafting for the selfish/
Exchanging cash for basics and the crap we put on shelving/
Crack on getting back to what actually makes us healthy/
But they’ll tell you: don’t do that, you’ll do yourself in//
CHORUS
How can you have cash for nuclear submarines/
But cut health services cos there’s not enough for me?/
Where’s the money coming from to pay for defence/
When there’s a housing shortage? It doesn’t make any sense/
For £350 mill we can renovate the palace/
For unknown quantities of gas we can rape the planet/
I’m a remoaner and a lefty, a socialist scum/
Fuck the Times, Express, Telegraph, Mail and the Sun/
Contributions are the problem with politics/
The side with the most golden handshakes has gotta win/
The right fight for corporations , the left for little people/
7 in 10 MPs are millionaires, are we equal?/
“Do you want unsuccessful people to run the country?”/
Do you count inheritance as success you numpty?/
Privilege is quickly forgotten by those that have it/
Like, people on benefits are morose and savvy/
But what’s the difference between a government propping you up/
And your parents bailing you out often enough?/
I can’t lie, I’ve wanted for nothing/
I shouldn’t have to feel guilty that I’ve not really suffered/
But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be responsible/
When hospitals and hostels are shut down
to cut the costs where possible it’s horrible/
I need to get in gear, we could all do some more good/
For those that are fighting - keep moving forward//
