Come To East Refix by Maxsta Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know you see me in East London
More than the place that I come from
Might catch a bly in the AM
But niggas lose lives when the sun's gone
I'm from East Ham, E6
Where it's bank scam, [?], weed lick
And the tax man ain't seen me since
Might flex with the East shit
You can't finesse her if she came from my block
Grew up 'round wronguns, all the game's been clocked
From Bethnal to Manor Park, I've been on my feet
With the Gs, I know new school dons who been keeping up greeze
But I'm from the old school like Barking Road yap
Chinese Tony, Ian and that
Outside [?] Griminal
When we had talent but the money was minimal
I would bump Ps and Qs with no p for qs
Only started a line 'cause I needed to
On the block looking at the skyline
And I saw Canary Wharf, that was more reason to
I want big business, I want more paper
My ends set the trends, they all take part
Streets blazing, skengs, I'm ducking low in Chris Street
'Cause the feds can't catch this heat
[Hook]
If you come down to East
You will see
How hard life can be
For a G
If you come down to East
You will see
How hard life can be
For a G
[Verse 2]
Yeah
Priory park, I pull up and check still if West Ham's gone
But mandem defended the ends well, my gang strong
Probably chilling with your ex, checking her mates
None of us looking for love, just a way to a rave
That's how it goes, even the yats are ready to
Swing man on the dance floor, checking your bling
I said, what d'you reckon's the ting?
We got bats and gats like gracious came, we're mocked out ready for anything
Trapped in a cycle
Beefing niggas that are tapped on a rival
And some will not make it out of East London
Where poverty's on the rise, you'll probably rob your own blood, I can see it in your eyes
Youts don't wanna listen, academic decline in
Walthamstow last week where a boy died
It's cracking in Hackney, and Newham's been fried
Beefing for territory, respect and pride
It was like this 10 years ago, but now there's more knives
More youngers ready to dip and hop in a ride
Then get sent to OT for country life
Pray for East London
For the women and children, anybody who got raised in East London
Life's hard it ain't safe in East
But we're still proud -
[Hook]
If you come down to East
You will see
How hard life can be
For a G
If you come down to East
You will see
How hard life can be
For a G
[Verse 3]
I was on the block, I didn't really have a clue then
Now I understand the ends a little better, I can see through the negative
Stephen Lewis got stabbed outside the anti, knife crime, we're vetting it
Started all the madness - that was 2009
Since them times, pure blood blattered
I remember, looked his killer in the eyes
Saw the villain in his eyes, he was tryna beef me
My stress started when I got rushed by my own friends and called down niggas from E3
'Cause after I wrapped him, the whole ends turned against me and I couldn't even walk around freely
Ended up getting nanked by some Plaistow yute tryna put MH on a CV
Thank God I didn't die, mumma needs me
True, I brought up myself, I were cheeky
Love it or hate it
But if I spit it all the ghetto kids rate it
I'm only rapping 'bout my day-to-day basis
Can't say music's to blame if they load up and go blazing
My postcode makes starts like Kano and Max
I was stuck in the flats and I really couldn't take it
Shout out to my East London legends
If the world don't know, somebody gotta tell them
[Hook]
If you come down to East
You will see
How hard life can be
