letra de sleepy little town - jack flash

[verse 1: jack flash]
let me describe it
between where the pennines sit
and the sun fights through cloud to keep the skies lit
there’s a town i call home
where shadows from the sun
divide countryside views from industrialised
where bad news travels fast
in a small world of glorified car girls and alley cats
bordering halifax and leeds city
travel on the train for £3.50p
now keep me
past the leafless trees and grey buildings
we dream to escape and make millions
instead we stay and raise children
we’re stuck here now
in this grime filled drugged up town
and the average man’s afraid to mention
all the cl-ss prejudices
and the underlying racial tension
now it feels like a musical ghost town
especially since fourth wave and badlands closed down
beats & pieces run the open mics
and the streets aren’t safe to walk alone at night
so, no, the roads aren’t paved with gold
in this sleepy little town that i’ve made my home

[chorus: ?]
in this sleepy little town
yeah, you know we can’t catch no zees
keep grinding tryna stack those ps
in the offices and factories
farmers to [?]
people gotta earn their keep

in this sleepy little town
yeah, you know we can’t catch no zs
keep grinding tryna stack queen’s heads
you know [?] gotta stack those grands
where an know the barren lands
like they back of they hands
in this sleepy little town

[verse 2: jehst]
in this sleepy little town
something just might
jump up and bite you
right
now
where the raw countryside surrounds you
the ghettos get neglected by kirklees council
where man’ll burn trees by the ounce still
no brakes
no hands
cycling downhill
and that’s just how a fella feels
it’s like the whole goes round
to the sound of the ferris wheel
this forever real
this forever will
there saying that i’ll switch
even though i never will
get rich and bail
gotta tryna tip the scale
kids out
tryna flip grounds on a bigger scale
pigs’ll have ’em stripped down like a chippendale
on some chip & pin fraud
sitting indoors
with your in laws
when they knock on the front
if you end up inside
you still had some fun
and so
we sip rum and c0ke
and soak up the smoke
and hope that your best friend don’t cut your throat
it’s just some sh-t i wrote
with the ‘field in mind
if you feel the grind, you can probably feel my vibe

[chorus: ?]
in this sleepy little town
yeah, you know we can’t catch no zees
keep grinding tryna stack those ps
in the offices and factories
farmers to [?]
people gotta earn their keep

[verse 3: asaviour]
see my verse all starts with a newsflash
direct to my mobile phone
told [?] got one in his…
see the problem is
breddas petrified of labour[?]
but want paper
ex-mill worker sods
flip work for fods
and the gr-ss must get cut
if you run your gums
i truly hope you’re
not the one
to run your mouth
and chat ’bout man’s private affairs
yo, living in arrears
doubts from your peers
see, home is where the hurt is
my heart is where is started
been missing for over a year
dearly departed
my truth is the sum of all fears
k!ll a loop with abuse
yo i want you to hear
’cause this [?] will seduce
this bruddas get gears
hold tight [?]
for a legitimate wage
i hold mics
rest -ssured i’ll be singing his praise
and putting my town on the map
faking graft[?]
live from the ‘field
it ain’t flat caps and whippets
envision the real
let me backtrack
[?]
i just flashback
and stand up for what i feel

[chorus: ?]
in this sleepy little town
yeah, you know we can’t catch no zees
keep grinding tryna stack those ps
in the offices and factories
farmers to [?]
people gotta earn their keep
