Penpals by Roll Deep Lyrics
Yeah
L-E
These streets man, they're claiming
They're claiming a lot of victims
But you know, just have to keep your head up and keep moving innit
Remember the rules and regulations out here
There's rules and regulations
Shh (move on your toes)
[Verse 1 - Jet Le]
When the smoke clears and the war's done
And we get back to business and have fun
And we look at the shape of things in sums
What is this a re-run? Got me thinking how come
I can't take time, I need things now
Back [?] on the road with some penpals
Dig deep if the trouble comes
Head high 'cause I never run
Stand strong if you are the one
Locked down in the system
Court case pending and we missed them
Asking why'd you have to go and be like that?
Know I've always got your back, I'm looking out for you
Weren't as tight as we could have been
When you come out imma help you out king
And I know that life is tough
Can't settle for the minimum, that ain't good enough
[Hook x2 - Riko]
Cah you're still in my mind and you're outta sight
I know it's a long way away blud, you'll see the light
You'll be alright
I know your days feel dark but dem soon get bright
[Verse 2 - Breeze]
Focus, look at me, focus
Stop fucking with this hocus pocus
Don't gamble your strip like poker
Playing cards with a handful of jokers
Heaven knows you ain't keeping it real
Got kids and you're still going on with nonsense
Lick down people at your own free will
Got no soul, not in touch with your conscience
Knuckle down, put the strap and buckle down
Before you make the gun cops come around
Blud I seen a ship go down
Captain and his whole ship go down
Settle off, put the mekkle off
Better if you're humble, you'll be better off
Blud I think you better do the B now
Whole strip's hot now, better cool off
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3 - Flowdan]
Yo, a little line from the ink
Because every time I blink, I always think
It's been a while since
You used to roll in the banger with the limousine tints
Everybody's cool from the bits
Since you ain't been around the money's peppered like mints
But the lemon still flips
And the studio's built now, everyting cris'
The mixtape's finished and it's coming out soon
You'll be coming out soon, just a couple more moons
I'm going Westwood again, I'll big you up again
[?] heard that you're repping on the wing like a goon
You got your meditation
But a meditation is better for them type of situations
You know the rules and the regulations
God nah [?] for the righteous one
[Hook x2]
[Verse 4 - Riko]
Yeah, blud I know how you're feeling
Some say they're feeling your pain but they don't know the meaning
I know what it's like when you're dreaming that you're on road
And you wake up sweating and screaming
Pricks on the wingings, they'll do the clinging
That's not you, I know you're just breeze
It's in your sentence, all easy
You got a mobile so we can reason
It's like everyting happens for a reason
You'll be back in about five seasons
And remember
Any boy disrespect, just scrub up the boy and beat him
After then just leave him
Make the boy feel lucky for leaving breathing
But back on a serious tip
When I spoke to your brother he was saying all the weirdest shit
[Hook x2]
L-E
These streets man, they're claiming
They're claiming a lot of victims
But you know, just have to keep your head up and keep moving innit
