Track 1 from Dirty Dike’s 2013 “The Sloshpot E.P.”. This track sees Dike reminiscing on his time in prison, his release and life after jail. Produced by Mr Boss, this track bumps a heavy bassline, a voice of clarity from Dirty…
VERSE 1:
- I was scared of release
- Every sin barely redeemed
- It never seemed fair
- I just stare and perceive
- And you expected me to care and believe
- From a chair when you’re speaking
- Or care when I leave
- Now how the fuck could I prepare to be free?
- When my hair’s clean shaved
- And I’m there on the street
- Like are you staring at me?
- I’d forgotten what a tramp is
- Mad shit was lost in the bottom of my sandpit
- That pissed me off
- It’s pot luck and not the world’s end
- 14 months to get dumped by your girlfriend
- I turned chauvinistic
- Went ballistic
- But never showed a bit of it
- And learnt where I did fit
- It’s business
- Life took a piss where my wish list
- Slipped through my fingertips
- And ripped into thin strips
- I’ve been sitting since prison
- So I ? crisp
- And dismiss these visions till my wig splits
CHORUS:
- It’s just a consequence of what I do
- Man I’m a rapper slash criminal
- What are you?
- Do you work a 9 to 5 in a flock of troops?
- Or are you walking down the thin line of forgotten youth?
- X2
VERSE 2:
- I’m sorry that I broke the law
- But you were smoking draw
- Way before I clocked the open door
- You know the score
- I was lonely
- Broke and poor
- Terrified of getting mesmserised by my sober thoughts
- So it’s back to drinking again
- With a qualified skill of how to think with a pen
- The brink of my head assembled with a kink and a bend
- The lingering stench of death as I’m sniffing again
- This prison of lead
- I shimmered with a glistening red
- Wish I’d read instead of flicking through the pictures again
- And yes I get stressed
- ? care when you’re leaving
- Screaming, scratching at the ceiling
- Never had a reason
- Never ? detach it from the meaning
- Staring round the zone
- That you’re attacking your beliefs in
- I’m packing what I need
- And these are not adventures
- I’m acting how I please
- ‘Cos I’ve seen the consequences
CHORUS:
x2
OUTRO:
- Young men with a mind for revenge
- Need little encouragement
- You above all should know the consequences of the life you choose
