where are you from?

[Neptune]

On a shitty estate in a nice area

This basically in central london. Lived here since day dot. I'd like to live in the same area but not in a council flat when I'm older, but seeing as flats go for a mili casj in this postcode i'll be waiting a good while. It's getting kinda pricey here so I may fuck off somewhere else soon.

The rough streets of 34th and Adams. It's been rough with all the hipsters popping out to appreciate the microbreweries, art galleries, and restaurants in the area. Fuck!

I'm from the place where the chruch is the flakiest
And zuggin is praying to god so long that they Atheist
Where you can't put your vest away and say you'll wear it tomorrow
Cause the day after we'll be saying, damn I was just with him yesterday
I'm a block away from hell, not enough shots away from straight shells
An ounce away from a triple beam still using a hand-held weight scale
Your laughing, you know the place well
Where the Liqour Store's and the base well
And Government, fuck Government, zuggin polotic themselves
Where we call the cops the A-Team
cause they hop out of vans and spray things
And life expectancy so low we making out wills at eight-teen
Where how you get rid of guys who step out of line, your rep solidifies
So tell me when I rap you think I give a fuck who criticize?
If the shit is lies, god strike me
And I got a question, are you forgiving guys who live just like me?
We'll never know
One day I pray to you and said if I ever blow, Let 'em know
Mistakes ain't exactly what takes place in the ghetto
Promise fulfilled, but still I feel my job ain't done...

Lyrics yeah?
No really, I wouldn't know, don't listen to hip hop.
If not & the words are yours,
could do with a bit less obfuscation.
Cos it's worth being heard without the off-putting effort.
