Lock down your aerial 







yo



make yourself at home 



we got diesel or some of that home-grown 



sit back in your thrown 



turn off oyur phone 



'cos this is our zone 







videos, televisions, 64's, playstations,



?webhenry? with precision 



a few herbs and a bit of Benson 







but don't forget the Rizla



lean like thet Tower of Pisa



these are, our ways yeah 



and this is a day in the life of a geezer 







for this ain't a club track 



pull out your sack and sit back 



whether you're white or black,



smoke weed, chase bown or toot rock 







we're on a mission 



support the cause, sign a petition



summon all your wisdom 



the music's a gift from the man on high, the lord and his children 







triple team here of rude boys 



come rain or snow, the buddha flows 



you don't know? 



stand on the corner, watch the show, 'cos life moves slow 



sort your shit out then roll 



sex, drugs and on the dole 



some men rise, some men fall 



I hear your call, stand tall now 







has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm just spitting 



think I'm ghetto? Stop dreaming 



my data's streaming 



I'm giving your them feelings 



touch your toes and touch the ceiling 



we walk the tight-rope of street-cred 



keep my dogs fed 



all jungle, all garage heads 



gold teeth, valentinos and dreads now 







we were verbally slapped-up 



physically ripped-up 



I do the science on my lap-top 



and I get my boys mashed up 







you're listening to The Streets 



you'll bear witness to some amazing feats 



bravery in the face of defeat 



all line up and grab your seat 







'cos Tony's got a new motor, SR Nova



driving like a joy-rider 



speeding to the corner 



your mother warned ya, it's a sound-sysytem banger 







has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

you're listening to The Streets 



Lock down your aerial 







my underground train runs from Brixton to Boundsgreen



my spitting's dirty and my beats are clean 



so smoke weed and be lean 







I step out my yard through the streets



in the dead heat all I've got is my spirit and my beats 



I play fair, don't cheat 



and keep the gangsters sweet







turn the page 



don't rip it out at your age 



move to the next stage 



lock the rage inside the cage 



like SK, it's a new day 



but don't take the shortcut through the sub-way 



it's pay or play, these geezers walk the gangway 



deep-seeded urban decay, deep-seeded urban decay, deep-seeded urban decay







rip down posters alight from last weeks garage night



and next weeks Tyson fight 



I cook 'em at 90° farenheight 



and don't copy hte copyright 



I got 'em in my sights 



blinding with the lights 



taken to dizzy new heights 



blinding with the lights, blinding with the lights 



dizzy new heights
