about

This is dedicated to anyone and everyone going through troubles with baliffs or repo men. i was listening to some old music when this track that i took the loop from came on and i jus began writing to the track, if you know anything about the monetary system in this country and other "developed" countries you will know that you are meant to be in debt, so if you are, well you are doing well! Na, seriously, there is traps left, right and centre and a lot of people depend on you being in debt, this is me shedding a little light on it with a twist of comic relief. I used an SM58 to record and got DJ Illas to juggle the break in, because its a track about repossession so im using basic equipment kinda like i had my top quality mic and shit repoed!! (Hope that never happens).

lyrics

Running from the predator of credit and debt and you're definatley in a dead end now
coz today is the day when the baliff came to take away what you got to pay for what they leant out
any amount, if you got pennies around, money left in the couch
fuck if the lecky is out, they'll take the rent for the house
unsympathetic, if it's credit you want
coz they're not tryna listen to your "im on benefits" song
so quit you serenading, its falling on deaf ears
buy now and pay next year, its time to get that debt cleared
ring my doorbell and all hell breaks loose
running round my house, tryna plot out escape routes
its repossession, the legal theif profession
business is booming and they int never seen recession
you'll be playing FIFA with your feet up, you dont see the threat
they'll roll up on your street like reefer heads and take your TV set
feeling like V for vendetta with some beef to settle
i need a cup of tea but the fuckers have teefed my kettle
hands tied and im pleading for an amnesty
but that wont be an option they even out the balance sheet
her majesty's prison is where they say they'll send me
dont tempt me, thats 3 square meals and living rent free
man 10 feet, by 8 feet int enough to contain me
but i got to escape these interest rates and late fees
it's a cold world, too much thought'll give you brain freeze
FREEZE, the cameras are clocking you, STOP, smile and say cheese
they know where you are, where you go, what you owe
there's no escaping you're paying, you're reaping what you sow
SO, even a change of face and plastic surgery
wont erase you from the database, you're trapped eternally
permanently in purgatory and personally
i think its purposely planned so there is not a single person free
