lirik lagu gully platoon - stripes
[verse 1: dialectrix]
a filthy teen covered in grit and grease
rinsing clean dishes in the kitchen sink
or the barman slash glass collector
trying to master rap architecture
and these memories of me coming sentimentally
when i gather up my coin and collect it in a heap
then i go out on the town and be spending like a king
another seven days, i’m a peasant for a week
but my means to get paid and dreams that i chase
the persistence that i needed out of mе were the samе
looking back, man, there ain’t a f~cking thing i would change
’cause i had to give my all for achievements i gained
with the working extremities, exertion of energy
burning some penalties, turning this to permanent lethargy
so we’re deserving the revelry when everything is finished
consolidate and bring forth a legacy within us, yo
[chorus]
that’s life, rain, hail or shine
that’s life, we come a long way on the grind
that’s life, earned through the passage of time
to stripes that we wear like lessons in life
[verse 2: joe new]
yo, fifteen an hour, cash in hand, i get to scrub a dish
the kitchen hand, the garbage man, i’d had enough of this
i left that job for an apr~n and some oven mitts
and i became a baker ’til i realised this is f~cking sh~t
so i quit, i was broke and depressed
put my nose to the post ’til i had nothing left and then
right before my wheels fell off, the boys caught up and said
“you got the sk!lls for the job”
so these stripes that i earned are from mics that i burned
the styles learned helped along by the tides that are turned
to the mates that i lost and my attempts at the top
i miss ’em all and never wanted it to end or to stop
i just been hard at it, studied the style, i’m half~abbott
still ripping fierce, in fact now, i’m barbaric
i still live in the years of chasing a star status
i raced ’til the car crashes and stay ’til my heart shatters, look
[chorus]
that’s life, rain, hail or shine
that’s life, we come a long way on the grind
that’s life, earned through the passage of time
to stripes that we wear like lessons in life
[verse 3: pegz]
earned my stripes from riding the bus to driving a truck
to getting a loan to buying a car to renting a flat (what?)
the size of garage and getting my act together when times were hard
doing menial tasks for minimum wage
wishing i stayed in school or finished a trade
but i slipped away with shoddy plans
party mouth, hanging around dodgy cats
told the world “f~ck off” like johnny cash
i still got my masters like a platonic lab
but at the end of the day, nothing is easy
sweeping floors and hustling to cover my e.p
i weathered the storm, upper machinery
cleaning tall buildings with a bucket and squeegee
yeah, earned my stripes like diggers in combat
swimming with sharks, washing dishes at the cossack
rushing alex got busy with the hop man
stepping to the a.m., bringing the bomb tracks, so what, man?
i did a real estate rep course
but couldn’t get a job with a criminal record
so i painted, plastered, slaved as an artist
earned my stripes and negated the margin, what?
[chorus]
that’s life, rain, hail or shine
that’s life, we come a long way on the grind
that’s life, earned through the passage of time
to stripes that we wear like lessons in life
