Has It Come To This? Lyrics

Has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



yo

make yourself at home

we got diesel or some of that home-grown

sit back in your thrown

turn off oyur phone

'cos this is our zone



videos, televisions, 64's, playstations,

?webhenry? with precision

a few herbs and a bit of Benson



but don't forget the Rizla

lean like thet Tower of Pisa

these are, our ways yeah

and this is a day in the life of a geezer



for this ain't a club track

pull out your sack and sit back

whether you're white or black,

smoke weed, chase bown or toot rock



we're on a mission

support the cause, sign a petition

summon all your wisdom

the music's a gift from the man on high, the lord and his children



triple team here of rude boys

come rain or snow, the buddha flows

you don't know?

stand on the corner, watch the show, 'cos life moves slow

sort your shit out then roll

sex, drugs and on the dole

some men rise, some men fall

I hear your call, stand tall now



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



I'm just spitting

think I'm ghetto? Stop dreaming

my data's streaming

I'm giving your them feelings

touch your toes and touch the ceiling

we walk the tight-rope of street-cred

keep my dogs fed

all jungle, all garage heads

gold teeth, valentinos and dreads now



we were verbally slapped-up

physically ripped-up

I do the science on my lap-top

and I get my boys mashed up



you're listening to The Streets

you'll bear witness to some amazing feats

bravery in the face of defeat

all line up and grab your seat



'cos Tony's got a new motor, SR Nova

driving like a joy-rider

speeding to the corner

your mother warned ya, it's a sound-sysytem banger



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



my underground train runs from Brixton to Boundsgreen

my spitting's dirty and my beats are clean

so smoke weed and be lean



I step out my yard through the streets

in the dead heat all I've got is my spirit and my beats

I play fair, don't cheat

and keep the gangsters sweet



turn the page

don't rip it out at your age

move to the next stage

lock the rage inside the cage

like SK, it's a new day

but don't take the shortcut through the sub-way

it's pay or play, these geezers walk the gangway

deep-seeded urban decay, deep-seeded urban decay, deep-seeded urban decay



rip down posters alight from last weeks garage night

and next weeks Tyson fight

I cook 'em at 90° farenheight

and don't copy hte copyright

I got 'em in my sights

blinding with the lights

taken to dizzy new heights

blinding with the lights, blinding with the lights

dizzy new heights



Has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



Has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



Has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



Has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial



has it come to this? (oh, oh, oh, oh)

original pirate material

you're listening to The Streets

Lock down your aerial
