Hooded Youth
I wrote this after the riots to express my disgust for the knobheads who made the worst of an already bad situation. I still do have faith in my fellow youth......but not much. Enjoy x
Hey there folks i'm a youth in a hood with my hands in my pockets always up to no good
can't be clever even though i should can't change the situation don't think i could
so i pick up a brick and smash up houses shout at the pigs and see who's the loudest
full of frustration, misinformation as i plant fire bombs on a humble nation
nee naw nee naw forget what you saw if i'm in prison how can i wage war
how can i strive for love and peace unless i attack the local police
and how can i finally reach redemption without more violent intervention
i ain't sure what i'm fighting for but i'll know what it is when i hit the floor
stone cold dead with a bullet in my head 'til then i'll fill those cunts with dread
and make a stand just like i'm meant ta' smashing up windows in a shopping centre
that's gonna show them who's the boss that's gonna cancel out the dross
that'll get me notoriety and that'll sort out society
but don't don't give me all that political bullshit i had a vote but i didn't use it
i just wanna use guns and knives i wanna fuck with peoples lives
i wanna grab any power i can 'til i end up in the back of a riot van
sitting with cuffs that bind my hands more news coverage than the taliban
leave me to rot in pentonville jail another statistic in the daily mail
now i look back and start to grin about the life i lived in sin
they took me future threw it in the bin and now look a the state i'm in
but i'd do it again if i really had to i'm a hooded youth and i'm coming for you!!!!
