Turning back the clock to 2004 now. Here’s Skinnyman with “I’ll Be Surprised”. A classic track off one of my favourite albums: Council Estate Of…
INTRO:
- If I make it till tomorrow, I'll be surprised (I'll be surprised), (I'll be surprised)
- If I make it till tomorrow, I'll be surprised (I'll be surprised), (I'll be surprised)
VERSE 1:
SKINNYMAN
- Tonight there’s gonna be a massacre,
- Straight after the sun goes down.
- Goin' out for all of them haters an’ runnin' 'em down.
- I'm bunnin' 'em down.
- How you mean I'm gunnin' 'em down?
- They goin' on as if they got the right to yam up town.
- Well no they won't, we no more eatin' for dem now.
- I'm bringin' 'em beef,
- It's not the meat from a cow.
- You wanna jack man and act like that's gonna be allowed?
- Do you think I'd let that ride?
- I'm too fucking proud.
- The tables turn as I ride on you now.
- Say goodnight as I'm puttin' your lights out.
- Should've taken me out when you had the chance,
- Under the moonlight,
- Time to meet the Devil and dance.
- Ask Nas, you from the Hood
- You have to get yourself a gun
- And when it's on, you don't pop your shit and run.
- You stand firm till the whole clip's done
- Or else you'll have a slim chance of seeing tomorrow son.
CHORUS
VERSE 2: SKINNYMAN- So now I'm roaming with 2 straps,
- Both off the safety catch,
- Around the spots where they're shotting the crack.
- I'm lookin' for cats, to get any haters I see.
- How many haters up in Finsbury are there out to get me?
- Just like Chong,
- A crack head paedophile an' his son.
- Goin' on as if they heavy 'cause they holdin' a gun
- They can't run.
- How many more life's ave gotta dun
- So dem man can sit back with a crack-pipe to bun?
- Fuckin' scum,
- Love to take life for fun
- Killin' innocent sons and leaving heartbroken mums.
- I say, MURDERER, blood is on your trainer,
- Policeman took that to forensic doctor.
- MURDER the victim's family must all hate ya,
- So kill me now because you won't kill me later.
- I'm ready to die and I'm ready to take life
- And I'm gonna be surprised if I make it through tonight.
CHORUS
VERSE 3: SKINNYMAN- All night I've been searching,
- To find out where them fassy 'oles are lurking.
- Think I finally found them but I still gotta be certain.
- I heard they shotting work in the crack house in the block,
- The flat, without the curtain.
- Come. We go hurt them?
- Firebomb the letter box and leave 'em all burnin'
- If they coming runnin' a my bullets gonna splurt them.
- I'm all out to hurt them and leave 'em for dead.
- Makin' sure every one of them gets one in the head.
- I'm runnin' it red,
- Not thinking 'bout runnin' from Feds
- The only thoughts that I'm 'aving is to fill 'em full of lead.
- I didn't wanna 'ave to go resort to all the bloodshed,
- But now it's kill or be killed and left on your death bed.
- As I look into the face of this crack-facing demon,
- Knowing he's the type who rapes his own semen.
- What do you believe in,
- The dark or the light?
- I know I'm gonna be surprised if I make it through tonight.
