Roachee Dark Ages
[Verse 1:]
Good evening, it's Mr Roach, how you been?
As for me I been easy
Just out here really chasing the p's, 365 days on the street
Look cuz I can't even say what I've seen
Just the other day we had to lay down the deceased
That was the outcome of one of the craziest beefs
Even the ladies were waving machines
Some got away with a graze on the knee
No one totally escaped injury
One boy got away in one piece, and there was one fatality
It was mad apparently
Everybody screaming gang at the scene, and they ran from police
All this over an 8 ball of each in the broad day in East
[Hook:]
Is this the dark ages? (pitch black)
Cuzzy, my heart's racing (it's mad)
Man better start waking
Are these really our pagans?
Is this the dark ages?
Like when they were running around stark naked (flippin' hell)
Would it be a bizarre statement?
To say we are in the dark ages
[Verse 2:]
Due to the lack of guidance we been in the hood carrying out violence
Trident didn't even want to come round the bits
10 cars up and they were scared shitless of these militant kids with sticks
They had to radio through for more whips, and armed forces
Man had to bring the lieutenant, sergeant, anyone that was in
There's a war going on where you can lose limbs
You can lose your freedom because of loose lips (you can lose it)
When you're on the battlefield, you can't stop shooting
That's why only the ruthless get recruited
It's too sick, the biggest crew wins
That's just a few things
Oi blud! I guess we're only human
[Hook:]

Cuzzy, my heart's racing (it's mad)
Man better start waking
Are these really our pagans?

Like when they were running around stark naked (flippin' hell)
Would it be a bizarre statement?
To say we are in the dark ages
[Verse 3:]
Another body dead in the street
Man were out there squeezing it off
Nowadays it's like world war three
Soon even you might need a machine
You think you can live in your own world and act like you did see
Till a body comes flying straight into your windscreen
This is Hunger Games, 2018
The elders are out there, pulling out weaves
There were 3 shootings just last week, but me never saw nothing on ITV
It's a battleground on the London streets
I see a lot of families moving to Kent
They say that it's cheaper for rent
But I don't think that's the reason they went
They've had enough of the East End
