Growing Up In Northern Ireland
• Written by Glenn-Wreckless
i was born in nine teen eighty four
in the middle off an English Irish war
catholic protestant fighting door to door
did they even know what for
i dont want this anymore
either do the people
we all one we all equal
tryin to turn us toward evil
people killing people on the street
its a hard place to live and eat
making it in life is a feat
like when dj's fuck up there beat
pipe bombs and gun fire exploding
like Dr Dre's making the beats
people shaken and weak
wondering will we make it to next week
as the ground cracks and rumble's under our feet
in come the army and the fucking police
there everywhere taking over the street
stopping people from there every day meets
what every happened to freedom of speech
asked for i.d every time you walk the street
curfew put in place shits not to be breached
that's the time off night you get caught in the heat
paramilitary and police guns sounds for my beats
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
growing up in northern Ireland
lets get back to the track
i was twelve when i started rap never looked back
it was worse than bein addicted to crack
living beside those railroad tracks
no one walking round no crack
not a damn smile
shit was kinda like eight mile
only with a lot more shady guys
carrying enough guns to do drive byes
shooting up people ruining family ties
all for the English flag
they think there patriots there all fags
thats what they think until they die
but a man who has a plan
inside his heart to rebel fight and start
a new generation to stay smart
stand united never fall apart
no matter what the media start
it always makes me fucking laugh
at the peoples chosen path
they follow the governments evil witch craft
mp's and prime minister's taking baths
with little kids who's home's didn't last
all this shit coming up from the past
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
i can tell you its no fucking island
ok on da verse three
this is the grown up me
my brains like a philosophy
i wish someone could understand me
as i move on in my journey
trying to map out everything that concerns me
and the shit that earn's me
im not a father im a dad
to an twelve year old lad
sitting in my pad
playing xbox with the pads
i feel like going mad
cus the world's got worse
kinda like northern Ireland's been cursed
things just go from bad to worse
people having little to no money in there purse
id love to know whats wrong with this earth
cus since birth its been fucking shit ive been served
growing up in northern Ireland ,
i can tell you its no fucking island
growing up in northern Ireland
