The Bottom - slowthai

Well UK culture like

Usually is, very centered towards, um, London

Like that’s where like UK culture presumably is

From the outside world like people who are not in the UK

But really in UK, Birmingham like they got they own culture

Manchester’s got they own culture

Like Nottingham got its own culture

And even Liverpool got they own culture

And obviously Northampton as well

And the maddest thing about all those places

Is like, there’s one thing that they all have in common

And that’s that there’s a bottom of the power

And the bottom of the power is real gritty, you hear me?

Doesn’t matter where you comin' from cause

All around the world there’s a ghetto

All around the world there’s a slum

All around the world there’s a hood, somewhere

All around the world there’s always a bottom

Grease

Vybz Kartel man are bleached

Come through the fog like steez

Upon horseback manna breeze

Water it down like Evian

Think that Tyron’s naive

Pitchforks and keys

Telling me farmers ain’t got dreams?

(farmer's are coming)

Grease

Vybz Kartel man are bleached

Come through the fog like steez

Upon horseback manna breeze

Water it down like Evian

Think that Tyron’s naive

Pitchforks and keys

Telling me farmers ain’t got dreams?

Tyron’s too crooked

Tackle the scene two footed

Pose for a scene but factually speaking

Them man are leeches

Them man are just pussies

Trap for a weekend when they ain’t eating

Run to their Mummys

Northants ain’t got the twang like Brummys

More time I can’t confined

Cause problems

No father figure, but my mum was watching

Bamboo, grew up too fast, no confidence

Butterfly stomach, didn’t have no options

Drugs or a job and the job got lost quick

Ignorant obvious, mans obnoxious

Voice in my head:

«Don't go to the doctors

Go to the pub

Brandy and a Fosters»

Bottom of the barrel, Bubbling like hops does

There’s a bottom of the pile

And the bottom of the pile is real gritty, you hear me?

The majority are at the bottom

That’s the realest thing

So it’s like, doesn’t matter where you comin' from cause

All around the world there’s a ghetto

All around the world there’s a slum

All around the world there’s a hood somewhere

All around the world there’s always the bottom

Electric gone, that’s calm though

Hearts too black like charcoal

Man have been moving cargo

End this scene like Fargo

Take off your chin like Bravo

Man shout gang like Kartel

Then get prang like heart felt

Then run off like: «ahh well»

Get beat up then they all talk

Fist fighting well it’s just sport

Wait till the balls in my court my brudda

I just want a house and a Porsche for my mudda

Gates to the grounds, Fountain with a giraffe

Black diamonds Granite floor for the car park

Buttler’s, milk and a Mars bar

First class well, thais class harder

Jealousy doing better then my father

What ya saying, what you’re saying means nada

Circumstances I know my actions

I’ve been attracted, chasing mansions

Charlie Manson, voice of a leader

You hate life, I don’t like it either

Sit in the pub Like a geezer

I can’t smile like Lisa

Can’t remember, don’t smoke Amnesia

Every day I put more money in the metre

Gassed everyday I put more in than a litre

Mad what we’ll pay, no space for a breather

419 transfers with Enoch

Workouts, yeah I had scuffs on my Reeboks

Pick my feet up, Used to get beat up

Now I walk in New York and my feet up

Put T in a Tea Cup

I’m not a mug you can dip Rich Tea on

Speak when spoken mum said be gone

Wanna be bigger than The Beatles

Look through the key hole for that kilo

I ain’t got kids I gotta feed though

I’m just a monkey sitting in a tree bro

Spend a monkey, monkey not me though

Said I’m gassed up like Stev-O

We clash, villain and a hero

Sometimes I can’t look past my ego

Tell me what I need cause I need yours

Tell me what you see cause I see flaws

Tell me what to eat cause I eat yours

Tell me how to be me more

Like gorge, cause I’m so gorgeous

Bored boredom, getting Moreish

Toothache I’ll take it out

I don’t go to the dentist

Cause I’m poor blood

Doesn’t matter where you’re comin' from

Right that culture, there’s gonna be a twist in that culture

There’s gonna be a difference and then be a different personality from that

comes from that culture

And Thai’s personality comes from the grittiness of Northamphton

How he grew up, where he grew up

But it also transcends worldwide cause

All around the world there’s a ghetto

All around the world there’s a slum

All around the world there’s a hood somewhere

All around the world there’s always the bottom

Like the bottom, the bottom of the pile you get me

Like the people who are in the dirt, for real
