LITTLE TADPOLES from THE AMPHIBIOUS by TY HEALY X BRONCO BULLFROG

LITTLE TADPOLES

VERSE:
Growing up i weren’t a bad lad & the UK isn’t Baghdad
But bandana rags had us fighting over flags
Pointless, this duty that we were anointed
By the olders who would keep finger pointing
At all of the youths in the opposite ends
Like fuck them, jook them if you ain’t shook then
But why stick up kids when this ain’t Brooklyn
My photographic memory has a bruk lens
Cus looking back it’s fucking whack
Had to hold a couple slaps
Run in traps snatch a stash didn’t get paid from none of that
Nah nah just earning stripes
From these wanna be mafias we ain’t learning right
Just a bunch of school bullies who never elevated past it
Sitting in the pen or ending up in caskets
Not soldiers with decorative medals
And you’re not a street legend either, never been special

VERSE:
Growing up gully with hoodies and skullys
No daddy’s just mummy’s & rumbling tummies
Were Scraping for coins, skyscrapers towers
Jungle is concrete and quick to devour
Those who will cower gotta be built
Cannot be scared hide under the quilt
Pilling up bills they gotta be paid
Don’t wanna work for that early grave
end of the line, this shits appalling
At the time, streets is calling
Streets is watching, mandem ballin
Adolescent minds adoring I’m all in,
or at least I pretend with a toe in the pond
Doh in the pocket in growing more fond
And thats when all of my problems begun
