China Shop Taurus - Jehst

The sun sets over cityscape silhouettes

Bright lights flicker cigarette smoke pirouettes

It’s the addictive kiss of death in effect

I’m a little stressed spittin' liquor breath introspect

Hot like triple X, getting lost in the mixing decks

Sweat glistens like glitter balls reflect

Recollect on the dreamscape

Escape the freebase infested Police state

Teenage protesters riot in the heat wave

Fire in the streets place bets on the sweepstake

Check how the greed shapes their mind sets

The beast clockin' like Timex flexing their biceps

There’s nothing out here for us

Negative forces force us to live lawless and spit rawness

I’m like a china shop Taurus

I talk of torment and pen chorus after chorus

BNP berserkers bent on murders

Teens tagging for a sense of purpose

Streets is tense and nervous

So bait is bound to tempt the serpent’s

Appetite, parasite paradise

Po-lice patronise, lappin' up a pack of lies

Macho guys turn hermaphrodite by candlelight

Still they wanna scandalise mine cos' I spit rhyme

I’m tryin' to scrape the paper and escape quick time

Get yours, utilise your get out clause

Outlaws on course for the great outdoors

I’m way out like Cheech Wizard

Keeping warm in the winter blizzard

Banging my head like Lynard Skynard

I’m having nightmares I’m naked in my ground floor flat

Gripping a baseball bat

With the back door open to night-time predators

Crack-heads highlight heaven gone wrong

Watching back street revellers

Revelation of the Devil’s messed up messengers

Sin is effortless, yet affecting us

In fact infecting us with disease

Beast inspecting expecting us to mess up, muck up

Leave you bruck up, you’ll get beaten the fuck up

And cuffed some even got snuffed

Others live on to puff another bag and brag

How they’re mad tough, man I’ve had enough

There’s nothing out here for none of us

There’s nothing out here for us

Negative forces force us to live lawless and spit rawness

I’m like a china shop Taurus

I talk of torment and pen chorus after chorus

Post-modernist, pre-apocalypse

Living in this rotten metropolis

Existing with broken hopes hearts and promises

Park bench politics, soap-box soap bar

Smokers acknowledge this novelist

The broke pocket economist on a mission

Fists clenched for the opposition

Sitting tight like Taliban in Tora Bora

The last stand now we’re living land of the lost

And the age of Sodom and Gomorra

Divide and conquer your block by the border

Locked by the law and order

The war reporter walks streets

As the cycle of suicidal thoughts repeats

In the minds of the poor and meek

A meat market of morbid freaks

Freebase heads speak to inform the beats

The bleak picture, the cycle of war and peace is crazy vulgar

Sick as the kids that killed Damilola Taylor and Jamie Bulger

My heart broken open and beating slower

The cold blooded grow even colder

In a globe so rotten like teeth in Cola

No hope of mending, a culture of violent endings pending

Our pens become government scapegoats

But no guns bust at my stage shows

(So yo it’s like…)

There’s nothing out here for us

Negative forces force us to live lawless and spit rawness

I’m like a china shop Taurus

I talk of torment and pen chorus after chorus

After chorus

After chorus
