Tatooine Dreams - Lee Scott, Hyroglifics

Tatooine dreams with an i, daniel blake reality

Need to stretch me legs for exercise I’m pacing manically

Mind racing after me too weak to catch me up

Stuck between 'suicidal thoughts' and 'easy back it up'

You need to wrap it now lee you’ve had enough

Touché, my blue suede adidas trabs are scuffed

How am i supposed where am supposed to be

With no degree?

i guess i best just get this dole for free

Enough to smoke a g or 2 a week, we always found some more

You know where I’m goin if I’m walkin out the door

And it isn’t choir practice

Drag m bed into the offie cos m money’s inside the mattress

Fuck it, gimme one of those, one of them and a thai beer

And I’m sleeping right ere

Blurry eyed, out-of-body, panoramic world view

Meditate myself away i’m ouchea in a curfew

Fuck rap i’m tryna re-write the book you swear too

Leezus i’m sound with everyone but still swerve you

In the school of hard knocks, voted most likely

To look in the mirror and say «i know you don’t like me»

Last scene, sipping a beer in old blighty

Missing since reverse engineering me own psyche

Me on one side and the world sat opposite

Take up the most space but tell you to back off a bit

Melancholic but act choleric, wrote a compliment

On the back of me hand and slapped god with it

This isn’t an andy capp comic strip

Do better!
