Playlist Professor Green

professor green - astronaut

She was on her way home he was lying in wait,
Assistance from others had never led her astray,
She had a good day,
Was persuaded by summer air to walk instead of getting the train,
The decision so innocent as innocent as she,
Uncorrupted so innocent and sweet
An innocence interrupted by an incident
A dissonance in two people so different in belief
She came from the depths and ascend, bumped into he who dement,
Intent on inflicting the same pain that been led
The decision made by he for she had never consented.
And unprovoked the most vemonous attack,
He took from her that which she can't get back,
And left her with that that she can't get rid of
Which is why whenever it's time for lift out

She builds a rocket out of stars in her spoon,
Straps up, the only way to make it to the moon,
Dear god, I hope you haven't forgot
This young brave astronaut
A habit she never wanted,
A pain she needed numbing,
And she'd rather feel nothing than the pain
An evening she can't forget,
Memories she can't stomach
Not for nothing but a needle in her vein
Friends she ignored till the phone stopped ringing,
Till her door stopped knocking,
Her door she only opens to let him in,
But she has no money so she lets him come
You can take that either away

A window she rarely opens so she can see the day,
Her stove she only uses to heat her spoon,
For her the only way she can reach the moon.
She builds a rocket out of stars in her spoon,
Straps up, the only way to make it to the moon,
Dear god, I hope you haven't forgot
This young brave astronaut

Looking up, looking up, looking up for the young brave astronaut
Give it up, give it up, give it up for the young brave astronaut
I know that you're busy but any time you got,
God please make a visit,
To the young, to the young, to the young,
To the young brave astronaut

She opens the window for a glimpse out
And heats a spoon over the stove
Feels a familiar sting and then slips out
With a window that isn't quite closed
With the window open and the stove still lit,
Along with the rain came a gust of wind,
Which blew the fire out,
Gas still running and her still breathing the gas in.

She builds a rocket out of stars in her spoon,
Straps up, the only way to make it to the moon,
Dear god, I hope you haven't forgot
This young brave astronaut

professor green - at your inconvenience

(Ahh mate)

I'm back, like I never left, I'm here at your inconvenience
I'm back, like I never left, I'm here at your inconvenience

(So Steve, where did you grow up?
Upper Clapton, Hackney
How old were you when you first started rapping?
I was 18
Who are your major influences?
Are you serious? Your Mum)

I ain't answering anymore of your questions, you know what? I have a question
Who's idea was it to get in the charts, by rhyming over hungarian dance music
Why would I make dance music, when I can't dance to it?
I'm the anecdote to that shit, bringing back strap shit, soon as I'm done calling this bulimic a fat bitch
I'll be saving the day on renegade with the dog, playing fetch watching him chase a grenade
Maybe I should play the same game with Bruno, if I ever again get mistaken for a cluedo, character I'm gonna have to unleash my mitch a judo, I just took a shit and now I can't find any loo roll.
Two flows, for everyone that you got too hot, I do squat diddily and do more than you do when you do lots, do lots.
Do women do for me what they did not do, maybe it's got something to do with my new watch.

I'm back, like I never left, I'm here at your inconvenience
I'm back, like I never left, I'm here at your inconvenience

I have a question, why would I beat around the bush or take the scenic route, when I'm a meanie, born to incigate fumes, I'm the morning, midday and evening news, and I started a trend Mike got his teeth fixed to.
If you're wondering where I've been out, kicked back with a six-pack, of becks on a bench, sunbathing in a hijab, give me a tic-tac, I just had a pack of Nik Naks, thanks now I'll turn you into a kebab with my pick-axe.
Mish, mash, mosh-pit, whenever I drop shit, it's hot shit, I just won a race with an ostrich.
Obnoxious, preposterous, looney a damn nutter, if I ever see Rooney anywhere near my Grandmother ah!
I live life without an ounce of logic, I like my wrist so much I spent a house deposit on it. Vomit and then I drink more wine, then I broke a bowl and hope the Hospital gives me morphine.
How do you spend your time?

I'm back, (I'm back)
Like I never left, (like I never left)
I'm here at your, (I'm here at your)
Inconvenience (inconvenience)

I'm back, (I'm back)
Like I never left, (like I never left)
I'm here at your, (I'm here at your)
Inconvenience (inconvenience)

I don't have a question, nope
When it come to competition, I'm burying them. Better to bury them then have them getting lairy again. They want it with me like they want it with malaria, like Wayne Bridge wants to be John Terry'd again.
I developed an obsession with Caroline Flack, I wouldn't mind having a go on Caroline's, actually I promise to never be so vulgar, to never mention putting my cobra inside of Anna Kournikova, I swear

I'm back, (I'm back)
Like I never left, (like I never left)
I'm here at your, (I'm here at your)
Inconvenience (inconvenience)

I'm back, (I'm back)
Like I never left, (like I never left)
I'm here at your, (I'm here at your)
Inconvenience (inconvenience)

I think I've got it out of my system now
You sure?
I am once again ready to answer questions
Good, 'cause there's so much I've been wanting to ask you
About 8 inches...What?

professor green - avalon

Yeah.. yeah.. it's time to even it up,
I guess a round table weren't equal enough
You can't contain me with chains i'm free
And i run free any enemy is coming with me when i'm done

Whatever's asked to me i perform,
I rip through the rain into the eye of the storm,
Still carrying the flame, eye of the torch,
Failure comes at a price i can't afford,
Never been half hearted i put my all in,
Forfited all just to answer my calling,
Wearing the scars of the wars that i fought in,
Should'a been heading for the stars but i'm falling

I have your soul in me
If you need them i'll be swimming in the lake,
Oh baby don't look down,
Just take the crown

We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to avalon

I fought till i had the fight left, risked my death,
Walked with conviction in everyone of my steps,
My strengths water enough,
To wash away any of the stains on my rep,
Yeah.. i fought off voulcher's,
Went against odds when i was short and soldiers

I asked not for my burden to be lightened
But if i may have broader shoulders
So as i may carry the weight all the doubt i had in me has been alaid
So from now til the day i'm carried away
I will never walk around what stands in my way fuck
If they ain't letting off cos neither will i
When i die from the ashes an eaga
L will rise as long as my blade and my faith will keep me alive
Fear is something you will see in my eyes

We'll be kings forever, oh oh oh,
Holding on together, oh oh oh,
Feeling so much better oh oh oh,
When everything was wrong and everything was gone
We ran to avalon

I left competion out for the count no abacus
Fought for the crowd, fought down challengers
When my massacre was ordained
I remained an through pain forged my sword my excalibur

professor green - city of gold

(Chorus)
We ain't got no time, in the city of gold
Trying to get me some sunshine
An avoid the patrol
Ah yea...

I'm fed up
All I want is a little nice weather when I get
A lot of people arrive zealous
But life here's, less than a dream, more a nightmare
Welcome to the city of gold, the city I roam
Home to the grittiest roads
It's hardly a party, getting our p's
On the same corner where women sell narni
I live amongst vermin I'm stuck
But I couldn't give a, fuck as long as I'm earning
Long been accustomed to the ways of the manor
The filth are an occupational hazard
Parked chilling in a car park grinning
It's gone midnight an I'm half past sinning
Got a dark heart wicked with my ras clart lyrics
I'm a bad boy you don't wanna start no shit with...

(Chorus)
We ain't got no time
(No time on these streets,
Everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own,
It's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here,
Never can you be easy, always gotta beware)
An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city,
Up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
Ah yea!

Time's precious
An it moves fast in a city full of
Bright lights and tight dresses
Medusa's that'll seduce ya if ya ain't ready
A city that makes few and breaks many
The city I'm in's, less like the city of gold
More like the city of sin
Where everybody's in it to win
From villainous nippers to city slickers with sinister grins
Straight, ain't religous, never been into hynms
An I pushed bars before I'd ever been in a gym
So for my freedom I keep hoping
Cause I don't wanna walk through the doors these keys open
I don't know if you think it's nice or something?
But I can show you a different side to London
To think you came here for the treasure?
But nobody ever came here for the weather...

(Chorus)
We ain't got no time
(No time on these streets,
Everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
In the city of gold
(Everybody's out for their own,
It's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
Tryin to get me some sunshine
(It's hard to find peace here, never can you be easy,
Always gotta beware)
An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city,
Up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
Ah yea!

Jack the lad I put the work in
For the wage of sin
Even if by some poor sod's loss
I care not I will take the win
Many came so full of hope
Only to be deflated
The roads we walk ain't paved in gold
Alone is how our days spent
Don't think cause I'm polite that I'm nice g
Or cause I'm well dressed I ain't grimy
I got food for them city heads
Just another aggie yout that the city bread
The cloud I'm under thunders loud
I ain't waiting for the day the sun comes out
If you wonder what I'm under now
The same shit I was and will be till I'm underground...

(Chorus)
We ain't got no time
(No time on these streets, everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own,
It's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here,
Never can you be easy, always gotta beware)
An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city,
Up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
Ah yea!

professor green - closing the door

I don't mean to be ungrateful and I could
Never tell you something if it ain't true
I'm stable, and I find it's easier for me
Being single than it is being faithful
I got somewhere I gotta be and I can't
Take you, and you deserve more
So why would you make do?
I ain't no angel and there ain't nothing
You could say to me to save us cause it ain't you
I'll hold onto everything we went through,
I'll always remember what you meant to me
Now there's business I got to attend to,
The money for nothing and the drinks are free
Where I'm going, there's no place for all
The little things we kinda got a taste for
But you know there's a lot I'm gonna miss,
There ain't a page long enough for me to write a list...

(Chorus)
Is this as good as it gets?
Is this situation gonna turn into one of life's regrets?
Is this as good as it gets,
Is this situation gonna turn into one of life's regrets?
This is how it goes, everything around me so full of possible,
Close the door behind me,
Start thinking 'bout what's in front of me Ooooh...

I don't mean to be ungrateful and
I could never tell you something if it ain't true
I'm stable, and I find it's easier for me
Being single than it is being faithful
I ain't alone 'cause I know you've got needs too,
And from a distance it's nothing I can see to
I'd rather leave you, than insult you with the lies,
'Cause I'm really not as sly as to deceive you
Time for us both is so precious,
Selfish is never what I meant to be
In a business where sin is relentless
And nobody sees nothing in the VIP,
I don't know if it's a place I was meant for,
Or if it's everything I always ever dreamt for
But I know there's a lot I am going to miss,
There ain't a page long enough for me to write a list...

(Chorus)
Is this as good as it gets?
Is this situation gonna turn into one of life's regrets?
Is this as good as it gets,
Is this situation gonna turn into one of life's regrets?
This is how it goes, everything around me so full of possible,
Close the door behind me,
Start thinking 'bout what's in front of me Ooooh...

Only time will tell if I'm doing the right thing,
See honesty's all about the timing,
It's frightening but I'm trying to make it
Easier for you by closing the door behind me...

professor green - can t dance without you

A little birdy told me that I need to clean up
Remove the C, the L, the N and the A
Then put a D after the E and that's me, blud
How you mean, blud?
Sorry for complicating things, what I mean is I'm E'd up
Oh my god, Stephen, that's enough
Oh my lord, these are good
All I wanna hear now's Ebenezer Good
A little something to remind me of the 90s
Back when Es were good
I don't think I ever wanna leave the shubs

All I need now is somebody's daughter
Nothing could put me in a foul mood
Just lost 3 quid on a bottle of water
But I don't mind because I just found you

I can't dance without you
You know, I never could
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good
I can't dance without you
Although I know I should
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good

I'm in a raving mood, wading through
The crowd while they're playing my favourite tune
Favourite tune? OK, I'm lying
I don't know the name of the song that I'm raving to
A raving loon, as long as I've got music
I'll be raving until I shave my gooch
I already saw the chick I wanna dance with
And I've been aiming when to make my move
Just when I went to move on it
A man popped up but I ain't too bothered
Because I make legs spread like the Bubonic plague
Come on babe, I know you want it, ayy

All I need now is somebody's daughter
Nothing could put me in a foul mood
Just lost 3 quid on a bottle of water
But I don't mind because I just found you

I can't dance without you
You know, I never could
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good
I can't dance without you
Although I know I should
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good

No pics or I'm posing a threat
Look at my boat, it's a mess
Although right now I'm in the zone and I'm bless
You can bet by Tuesday, I'll be an emotional wreck
All alone in my room with the lights out
Watching a rom com and crying my eyes out
Wondering why I bother with you
I wanna quit, it's just I can't dance without you

I can't dance without you
You know, I never could
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good
I can't dance without you
Although I know I should
You always have this special way
Of making life feel good

If I'm being honest, I can't dance at all, init
I've got two left feet
I can sing though, trust me
No autotune needed
You always have this special way
Of making life feel-
Alright, maybe not

professor green - are you getting enough

[Hook: Miles Kane]
Are you getting enough?
Are you getting enough?
Are you getting enough?
Ahh yeah
Are you getting enough?
Are you getting enough?
Are you getting enough?
Ahh yeah

[Verse 1: Professor Green]
You want for it, feel for it
Rob for it, steal for it
Shot for it, deal for it
Pop for it, kill for it
Some are born with it, some are born without
Can hardly afford what they?re forking out
Time is money, talk is cheap
Money talks, what we talking about?
Piggishness edacity poverty born depravity
Gluttony over luxuries all ravenous voracity
Insanity avidity sound like city lust
Anything I want I need for me to have it?s a must

[Bridge: Miles Kane]
You're draining my blood

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Professor Green]
I shop therefore I am, I am therefore I shop
Until I drop, I will not stop
?til I cop everything I want
I spend money I ain't got
Anything I want I get
I buy what I want period.
I don?t really mind if I?m in the red.
Credit cards, debit cards, store cards, more cards
The poor pay while the rich are spending
It's all as is intended
Can you feel it heating up?
Can you feel the climate change?
In our eyes you see the hunger
All you feed?s a primal rage

[Hook: Miles Kane]

[Hook 2: Miles Kane]
Keep on, keep on
Keep on chasing money
Keep on, keep on
Keep on chasing money
Keep on, keep on
Keep on chasing money
Keep on, keep on
Keep on chasing money

[Verse 3: Professor Green]
The mad man with his megaphone said we can only serve one master
We?re consumed by social evils and all what we lust after.
Satisfaction ain't for sale, and we?re all going to Hell
But who were we supposed to hail to, when we don't know our father?

[Hook: Miles Kane]

professor green - dpmo

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconios
I don't know what that means but I know it flows here
No shit
There I go being a dick again
Look I can say the longest word in the dictiona... ry
I dunno much but I know the futures bright
The futures green
The futures me
The futures I
Maybe you'd understand me a little better if you were high
Do like my dj IIIQ
Make no mistake I'm just as high igh igh too
If you say the wrong thing about me
Your career is something you can say good bye bye bye to
Hows your album doing, mine flew
This time I'm doing what I did on the last one times two
Had some doubts son have you seen the state of your eyeballs! ?

Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Till we stop there will be no falling.
No we give it everything we got.
Till the wheels fall off we'll be rolling.
Yh we go anywhere we want.

la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la

Me, I attract beef
I eat tracks, that's me
Jack D, Hackney
It's in my blood, and we
Act silly to the phone
Taxi and I'm home
Bad B, black sheep
Bag of beans and an O
Yo, I'm getting high tonight
Where women who make do getting by tonight
I like the life, but I ain't into courting
I'm only into spooning if it leads to forking
I'm back buzzin'
I'd shag it even if she was my damn cousin
Please don't, please don't think I am lonely
Even though I'm swimming in women for the pussy
I mean, I ain't tryina catch nothing
I ain't lighetning up, I'm still as mean
Still as drunk, still as high
Still as lean, still as Green
Stood still on a pair of stilts in a distillery
The last time I got head it involved the guillotine

Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Till we stop there will be no falling.
No we give it everything we got.
Till the wheels fall off we'll be rolling.
Yh we can go anywhere we want.

la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la, la

I don't know what it is man, but something about this beat just kinda makes
me feel invinsible... Yh like I can do anything I want without any
questions. I might even cover my naked body in sticky tape and run through
all saints and come out doing my JLS impression. hehe

Don't Piss me Off!

Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Don't piss me, don't piss me, don't piss off!
Till we stop there will be no falling.
No we give it everything we got.
Till the wheels fall off we'll be rolling.
Yh we go anywhere we want.

professor green - do for you

There ain't much that I ain't been through,
I used to sell drugs for a living, an' even though
I changed my career up I'm still stuck where I'm living
An' certain man are livid, don't wanna see the progression
See the professor an' wanna teach him a lesson
They wanna strip me, their girls wanna see me naked,
I flow hot but they don't wanna see me make it
It gets deep on these cold streets,
I always gotta worry 'bout my old beefs
Same way I still dance through the bits,
Jeans still sagging with half a the piff
You wanna see me down, if only you could see me now,
Toe to toe, let's go I got no fears
Just know that I'll be here when the smoke clears...

(Chorus)
What can you do to me, that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?
What can you do to me that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?

I am completely confused and somewhat amused
By the fact that you think anything you could do,
Or have done to me, I couldn't do back
Eye for and eye, shot for shot, you might have,
But I have not forgotten where I am from fam'
So don't bred it if your not fam',
Should probably call you woman cause your not man
Certain man are telling to much lies,
Took a shank 'cause I got too much pride,
Rather that than kick though, it was a bit close,
Lucky me I'm still alive to get dough
Though you wanna see me down, if only you could see me now,
Toe to toe, let's go I got no fears,
Just know that I'll be here when the smoke clears...

(Chorus)
What can you do to me, that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?
What can you do to me that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?

[Bridge:]
I, I see a look in your eyes, I've seen before,
Telling me love don't live no more
I, I see there's a thin line between love
And hate and once you've crossed
It it's too late to come back...

A few people'd tell you that I ain't shit,
Still mistaking their jealousy for hatred
I wonder if it would of changed if it
Wasn't for the game, either way I wouldn't change shit
Might give a little, but I take none,
I am the difference, I ain't trying to make one
Suck out, you think I give a fuck
'Bout when any a these pricks run their mouth?
Your speech long, say what you like but take
It as a fuck you when I don't respond
So passed, I'm beyond, so lickle man be gone
For your playing havoc with my ambience
You wanna see me down,
If only you could see me now, toe to toe,
Let's go I got no fears Just know that
I'll be here when the smoke clears...

(Chorus)
What can you do to me, that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?
What can you do to me that I can't do to you?
What do you want me to, do for you?

professor green - doll

[Verse 1]
I don't know how long I can remain composed
All I did was say a flow, In life I always told
You should play your part, but I never said I'd take the role
Now every fucking thing I say's a quote
And they catch you out a convict, I'd be lying if I said I was not vexed,
Pick up a paper flick a page and see a picture of me on my latest conquest
Fuck it, it all helped
I'm not just gonna stand here making out it's all hell
And all's well and good if I put on a pair of rose tits
Yeah bare arms, just to show ink
My show ink off, but I'm not showing off,
I would be if I were to let you know what this costs
Now before ya I'm more subtle than I am flashy though init man
Just know if you don't see it on the wrist it's in the bank
On a mission with a plan, life's a journey and I don't wanna end up in a
Jam
Where I end up in the hands, of the Gods, when I'm gone, I'll be going with
A bang
But for now I'm flying high and I ain't coming in to land
I'm up high and I like life up here, you're running behind
Somewhere in front of you is my rear

[Chorus]
They wanna pick me up,
Yeah they wanna hold me
Show me off and talk about me as if I'm their hero

How long until they wanna let me go?
They're taming me like I'm their doll

[Verse 2]
I'm in the mood, in a feud with myself
The chair's wobbling, and my neck is in the news
See what I do, I don't ever get to choose
And today has been a few too many interviews
I mean can I breathe? This new attitude,
Is probably gonna leave a lot of people mad at me
Hater life to-be, I'll be glad to see some anarchy
It wasn't the money that changed me it was the lack of sleep
To get to sleep I need more than a bag of weed
What happened last year? I can't even remember back a week
Just became a blur, don't believe everything you've heard
Although I heard Peter Burns just became a 'her'
All these people sucking me and telling me that I'm the shit
Aint any less annoying than those who told me that I should quit
Feel like saying fuck it on a win, chucking it all in,
I ain't a fucking puppet on a string

[Chorus]
They wanna pick me up,
Yeah they wanna hold me
Show me off and talk about me as if I'm their hero

How long until they wanna let me go?
They're taming me like I'm their doll

[Bridge]
I came into this polite, and well mannered...
You know, that, I've always believed that you should learn to tolerate
Fools
Cos the world's full of them,
I seem to have misplaced my patience
It's how many you's and there's only one of me...
I can't keep everyone out

[Chorus]
They wanna pick me up,
Yeah they wanna hold me
Show me off and talk about me as if I'm their hero

How long until they wanna let me go?
They're taming me like I'm their doll

[Chorus]
They wanna pick me up,
Yeah they wanna hold me
Show me off and talk about me as if I'm their hero

How long until they wanna let me go?
They're taming me like I'm their doll

professor green - falling down

Yogi man, I'm sick of this shit bruv, swear down
Just as things start looking up,
It all goes to shit again story of my fucking life...

I don't wanna live my life this way... No!
Picture me behind a desk, picture that a nine to five
I ain't into that, I'm into rap and
I don't see me getting an office job with these tat's
So what choice do I have man? Do I sign on or do
I bag grams? Long signing for dole,
I wanna get signed for my flow and my rhymes
I'm a pro and I'm nice I know,
If I grind then I'll blow so why am
I wasting time on the roads
Now Mike's interested I should probably give
it a rest before I get arrested,
But then I got arrested whoops...

(Chorus)
Why don't I learn from my mistakes? Why oh why oh why
All I want's to change my ways Why oh why oh why
Do I always end up back here, stuck on the wrong side of town
With my head spinning I keep on falling down...

(Chorus: babble)
Never been arrested for so much as an eighth of weed
And I get arrested for kidnap, blackmail,
False imprisonment and possession with intent to supply
Typical of my fuckin' luck really innit,
Just as I'm about to sign a deal with Mike
I might be doing a fucking bird...

I don't wanna sell weed no more,
Hated the cycle but I kept peddling
Nan just found food under my bed again,
I'm a let down again, And she's screaming
"Get this shit out of my house" again
There's no curving the truth, the bags too big
To be for personal use, there's
No excuses she knows what the truth is
I do flip Keys of green to get me a few quid
She's looking at me so disappointed,
All I can say is I won't do it again, but she knows I will...

(Chorus)
Why don't I learn from my mistakes? Why oh why oh why
All I want's to change my ways Why oh why oh why
Do I always end up back here,
Stuck on the wrong side of town...

(Chorus: babble)
Never learn man... There's no plan B for me,
I ain't got shit to fall back on!
I left school in year 8 I don't have an education,
Selling weed and writing lyrics is all I know...

I got arrested and raided then I got signed
And I bust case so now everything's fine
But now everything's not, not only did
I get dropped the whole label did,
And I wasted my advance so I ain't got shit
I'm stuck at warners and them pricks won't
Push my album, but it's cool; as soon as
I'm free I'm gonna do it without them
Eight months later I'm still stuck in my deal,
In debt with my lawyer time
To get back on this ferris wheel
I'm stuck on this carousel when will this ever end!?
This is hell for me I'm back at the beginning again!
Somebody please get me off this circus ride
The horse that I'm riding is hurting my thighs erm...

(Chorus:)
Why don't I learn from my mistakes?
Why oh why oh why... All I want's to change my ways
Why oh why oh why Do I always end up back here,
Stuck on the wrong side of town
And before some funny guy tries to make a joke
About me riding a horse, it is a metaphor!
What I mean is I am sick of hustling,
I am sick of the grind, I am sick of things going to shit,
Just when things are looking up!
I don't know if this shit is ever gonna work for me
I swear down blud I am so fed up Yogi,
I cannot be dealing with it anymore...

professor green - forever falling

Never needed a hand nope, I did it all alone
With no dad to make a man of me, I did it on my own
A victim, a condition now I'm conditioned for the cold
Even though I know what's missing there's no feeling in this home
Escaped it, a whole leap of problems, isolating instead of facing
I always attract the women who think that I need saving
Even though I'm the only person I can put any faith in
Face it, I'm chained in and happily so, what would I have to hold it if I
Let all the anarchy go?
Can't take the praise, I just climb my patrol, just know I better deal with
Hatred and handle it so

My back against the wall, there's nowhere else to go
And I can't hear you calling, who's gonna catch me when I fall?
(Who's gonna) Catch me when I fall?
And I'm forever falling
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

See what I got in this world? That's how come I can't sleep without poppin
A pill
Felt it come back up but I'm still down, Just back to convincing myself
That I'm I'll now
See with me the stress manifest isn't it, still in me is this ray of
Happiness and it's killing me
I can't control it yet I worry about things that are out of my control and
I'm folded
I aint never letting this introvert out, in a lonely home that could have
Been but isn't our house
But I aint in the mood to have any visitors round
So I hide away, my curtains been drawn so long I couldn't tell you if it's
Night or day
So how I feel is the only way that I can hide the pain
People try and help but I shy away but a problem shared is a problem heard
But I care for you too much to make this problem ours
Who knows where this problem starts

Come on Steve and get to mine, you're not scared it's something I'm man
Enough to be
Or even you get be, how am I meant to handle what I see
When they just found my daddy hanging from a tree

My back against the wall, there's nowhere else to go
I can't hear you calling, who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Catch me when I fall?
And I'm forever falling
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

Trying to find myself
I don't know where to go from here
Losing my strength
So save me again

My back against the wall, there's nowhere else to go
I can't hear you calling, who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Catch me when I fall?
And I'm forever falling
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

So save me again

My back against the wall, there's nowhere else to go
I can't hear you calling, who's gonna catch me when I fall?
Catch me when I fall?
And I'm forever falling
Who's gonna catch me when I fall?

professor green - goodnight

I kick flows, rip shows, think it switched though?
Shit no, it ain't any different when I get home
I shift po to get dough, lust p's
If you ain't ever been broke?
For you to judge me's an insult
It's my life an I'm living it
Agreed we all have choices
But mine limited mostly by my decisions
If I knew then what I knew
Now I'd a lived live different
I'd be a different me but I didn't so this is me
Me, in my position what would you have done?
Would you of done what I did? Am I what you would become?
My guess, my guess is you would of succumb like I did
The decision was mine but I was too young
An I picked the wrong path, I went the wrong way
Left school then got the grade, banged it out, got my pape's
Stacked my p's copped a cake, I'm holding weight now
Made a brick of a ounce an ain't been in the jailhouse
I intend on staying free,
Free for me don't mean free from stress
Lay in bed but I ain't asleep
From I need rest I just blaze the tree's
Drift off hearing my Nan say to me...

Good night, God bless
I'll see you in the morning
Good night, God bless
I'll see you in the morning...

I'm a dreamer, but can only dream as
Long as I'm asleep I've, been having trouble sleeping
See Nanny Edie ain't here to say goodbye no more
I had to say goodbye to her, inside is where resides the hurt
Now all I feel is pain, after that nothingness
After that? Nothing since, after that there's nothing left
Some of her last words were I can't fight forever
Like she wanted to give up an of life she was fed up
She had to go but I wanted her to stay
Cause ever since she left, things haven't been the same
I need a new shelter from the rain
My face looking weathered, a facety looking bredder I'm fed up
I know not what to do
See I'd love to say that I don't give a fuck but I do
The gift an curse that I'm blessed with
The pressures on road ain't
Nothing to the emotions that I wrestle with
Stress got me in a figure four, raw is what I'm thinking
I wonder what I'm living for?
Is it only to hurt? First my great nan
Now I gotta put my dad in the dirt
Back in the earth, I wished we could have patched it up first
I was so angry though, I just couldn't handle the hurt
Now your in the back of a hurse
It hurts more than it ever did
Sometimes I wish that I had never lived
Feels as if it would have been better if I never did, live
I don't know how I'm ever gonna get through this, shit
I swear down blood, I'm runnin on empty
My life ain't nothing to be envied
So goodnight...

professor green - hometown glory

3am on the night bus
Rollin threw the city that i love
Illuminated by bright lights
Where there aint ever a quiet night
LDN the big smoke
A mix of broke and rich folk
Broken dreams and big hopes
On these streets you can see both
Let it all stand still, gets so loud but feels so tranquil to me
I found peace in the noise
See im surrounded but i noticed
The light glimmers my eyes lose focus
But no matter where i go i know where my home is
Im almost home now
To my people of my hometown.

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders and now

Although its tough in the bits and it gets rough in the bits
Ive got love for the bits its pretty but i love where i live
The city
Where kids who look down upon
But its hard to flower in the shadow of a tower block
From where we know what its llike not to have and to want
Til one day a flower pops up between the weeds
One of us succeds achieves what was once a dream
And it means so much more
I love it just to see it
Success and middle finger to all of our non believers
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders and now

professor green - i need you tonight

(Hello?)
Hello babe, what's happening, you cool?

It was meant to be a one night 'ting, nothing more than a little one night fling, now when I'm in need you're the one I ring I (I need you tonight)

But she's playing hard to get, brunette with such class she's hard to forget, see at first I wasn't after her heart but I couldn't stop thinking about her after I left. I'm beginning to lose my cool, it appears in love I have fallen (whoops!) I'm ready to put my all in and all she does is ignore my calls!

CHORUS:
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

This lady is driving me crazy, she blows hot and cold like the AC. I just can't figure her out next time I'm with her I'm pinning her down (Oi) I'm gonna' find out if she's on it or not (not, not) 'cos all of this shit is long (long, long) See I front like I'm okay but I'm not, I'm being played at my own game and it's long (long blud). I ain't no ediot, I'm pro I'm no intermediate so next time she phones me I ain't even gonna pick up the phone to speak in it (ring) nope, swear down, (ring) wait a minute, that's her now..

(hello?)
(I really wanna' see you today)
(Alright, just give me a time and a place and I'm there)

CHORUS:
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!

I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you
I need you, I want you, won't stop until I've got you, there's nothing that I won't do
I need you tonight

Look, I ain't never been the type to be this (*no*) I ain't never been the type to be with, she's exposin a side of me that, I'm tryna' fight, I'm tryna' hide! My pride, I'm tryna' find it, but ain't seen it I'm an edjit, I know I can't help it im fiending!
(I need you tonight)

CHORUS
She's everything I want, but all that I don't need
(I am...in a bad place)
How can she be so hot, yet be so cold to me (this stuff don't happen to me, I'm me!)
How can it be so wrong, and yet it feels so right
I wish I never, but I need you tonight!
(Swear down, It's just a song, in real life this would never happen to me, I am a pimp, women chase me, i do not chase women)
I need you, I need you
(I swear down)
I need you, I need you tonight?
