Ghetts - State of Mind (ft. Andrea Clarke)

This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change this life,
Set me free
This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change my life,
Set me free

Sleep how?
When I know deep down
There's niggas in P-Town
That wanna see G found,
On the ground dead
'Cos I've been crowned the best of
The underground scene now
Still I'm around the ends
But on just one hand
I can count my friends
And the rest are associates...
You know the type
You won't see when it's beef
You'll only see them when it's appropriate
For example,
They'll come to the rave in the car full
See me and when they get in free
They be like
"Yo there's Dizzee Rascal"!
Niggas must think that
My floors are marble
I ain't got nothing to give prick
I still be plugging the piff quick
I'm a bad breed like
I got my own cousin addicted
Rough and rugged I live this
I'm big in the scene
But to the feds
I'm just another tug
In the district
I'm from where manna pop the boot,
Cock and shoot
Prostitutes on the block in boots
And cops don't ever need lots of proof
Just one snake son of a bitch,
Now you're as hot as soup
Next step jail can't wait for some proper food
It's alright when you got a zoot
But when the buzz wears off...
It's back to reality
But suicide is an act of insanity
So we stay trapped in a tragedy
Hit road and sell crack for a salary
And I'm like... all I wanna do
Is relax under a canopy
Mum don't be mad at me

This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change this life,
Set me free
This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change my life,
Set me free

Tryna' change my state of mind
Is a waste of time
Cos' I'm living in a place of crime
Where the youngers think
They need iced out chains to shine
Olders on the ends still ain't resigned
I'm a owner of a skeng, baby nine
Getting chauffeured in
A Benz I'm a lazy guy
My CoDee's in the pen,
Said he's way behind
So when he comes out back
To the way we grind
I'm in an all black jumpsuit
And because I'm an MC,
I'm a role model to the young yutes
But imma be real,
I've done moves, and I still do
And yeah I do music but
I'm still waiting for funds due
But the check ain't come through
I guess what they told me was untrue
Still some think
I'm on top like a sunroof
I'm in the slums where some shot
And some shoot
Summer comes, all winter manna slung food
Rob and steal, I'm on the grind
No time for a proper meal
So i settle for junk food...
And a bottle of Lilt
I do shit and I just can't bottle the guilt
Some say life's a game, well...
I ain't playing for Monopoly bills
I gotta be real ain't none of us
Winning the lottery
So my philosophies deal drugs
From bobby to pills
That's how i honestly feel
But I got bars like a wanna be built
Call it my last hope
This is G-H signed and concealed

This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change this life,
Set me free
This is just a state of mind for me
Only God can change my life,
Set me free

(State of mind)
I'm so stuck in my ways
I've been like this for more than
A couple of days but you know?
(Change this life)
Only God can
But I still got grams, so real
(State of mind)
I'm on these roads every day
That's the realness of it
(Change this life)
You know what?
If I only I could
G-H... yeah, Nocturnal on the beat
Anti I thank you man...
It's all in the blood line
Yeah
