Seashells In The East Lyrics - Made In The Manor - Kano

Good heart, bad breed 

Living in the ill manor but we're no Plan B 

Mummy got Christ, Daddy got a vice, not surprised 

He ain't tryna follow no pipe dreams 

Nature or nurture is destiny, real 

If this estate had lakes and green fields 

And he went Eton and Oxford too 

Would monkey see, monkey do like you? 

Fine line between obstacles and excuses 

But a thick skin will still bump and bruise 

And when you need them blue kickers and new creps 

Special brew, won't get you dressed for school

You won't find seashells in East End 

But you might see shells in East End 

There ain't no pier or no rock here 

But most of your peers will sell rocks here 

Survival instinct's a must 

You hug that road, but road don't show love 

Leave that place before you get stuck 

Can't wait till your wake before you wake up 

This place ain't changed 

(There's still a war going on inside of a defeater's mind) 

This place ain't changed 

(A man's home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) 

Winners and losers 

(Yep, the manor's a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) 

Is it better? 

(Out here to out here)

We came up in the same ends 

Bought sweets with the same pence 

Pot luck, or was I god-blessed? 

If I couldn't rap, would I be in the same mess? 

Postcode, blame the postcode 

But a strong mind's like a vacation 

The power of escapism 

If you ain't dreaming, then you ain't living 

Fork in the road, which way'd you wanna go? 

Trust me, bruv, I know the ropes, gotta make a plan though 

But you're in too deep, gotta keep your fam afloat 

And just cause we don't speak, don't mean I wanna see you go 

And you can blame me, but that's eating up a hole 

Now your sister's on the phone, me and Smithy had to go 

To your hospital bed, with the tumour up in your nose 

It was really touch and go while I was there 

Where was the ends then? 

You won't find seashells in East End 

But you might see shells in East End 

There ain't no pier or no rock here 

But most of your peers will sell rocks here 

Survival instinct's a must 

You hug that road, but road don't show love 

Leave that place before you get stuck 

Can't wait till your wake before you wake up 

This place ain't changed 

(There's still a war going on inside of a defeater's mind) 

This place ain't changed 

(A man's home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) 

Winners and losers 

(Yep, the manor's a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) 

Is it better? 

(Out here to out here) 

The manor 

Invisible walls that never fall 

Learn to climb before you crawl 

Don't get stuck here 

Man-made or mind-made? 

Don't be a statistic, blaming ghetto physics for holding you back 

Eternal strength versus external influences 

Victim or victor? 

The manor 

Concreted souls 

Cheap [?] industry folk 

We share the same roads but not the same code 

Low self-esteemers, Mercs and Beemers 

Small winners 

It-is-what-it-is-ers 

But you deserve more 

The manor 

Throwing bricks at glass ceilings 

Do or die 

He who dreams with open eyes is alive 

This place ain't changed 

(There's still a war going on inside of a defeater's mind) 

This place ain't changed 

(A man's home is his castle, but freedom lives outside) 

Winners and losers 

(Yep, the manor's a no-go, T-shirt weather but mandem are so cold) 

Is it better? 

(Out here to out here)
