Angles by Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip
Angles lyrics
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
[MARK:]
My name is mark & I go to uni & college
Don't solcialize that much I just revise& build knowledge.
At times I find that I become a virtual recluse
I let me belt of interaction hang decisively loose
But I came here to learn and that's the life that I choose
So if people think that I'm boring they can bring their abuse
See a lot of people think that I'm boring and say
That maybe I'm a weirdo or maybe in gay
But that's cool when I get a good job & good pay
Il get a house for just my brother and me some day
And that's the reason I'm hear, just to build for the future
And if it means better grades yeah il suck up to my tutor
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
[PAUL:]
My name is Paul & I've been a guard for 6 months
The shop that I guard is better than most dumps
That's why I like it here & my boss he's a pro
He's taught me tricks of the trade that other guards wouldn't know
He's taught me in this game, there's some rules, you gotta bend
And not to forget these thieving pricks ain't your friend
And that appearance is key cause there's a message to send
And above all of that it's your fellow guards you defend.
The other day my boss was stabbed by some lowlife psycho
He's in hospital now so every night that's where I go
He's on the brink, he's showing no fear though
Cause if he dies there he'll be dying a hero.
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
[KEITH:]
My name is Keith and I ain't so much a racist
But if one reached out a hand id decline their embraces
I work security in a shop in charge of 5 other guards
And I've got all of their respect cause I run this shit hard
I nicked one kid today; didn't show enough respect & attention
So I grabbed him by the neck, that's my own form of redemption
I do no real harm; just make sure that it hurts
It ain't going by the book but believe me it works
Then I sent him on his way, that little shit knows the score now
Instil a little bit of fear. He won't darken my door now
And that's what I do. Stop these kids from decline.
Do what their parents wouldn't do, put down some boundaries & lines.
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
[BILLY:]
My name is Billy & I've been beaten since I was 3
Mum died when I was born so dad just takes it out on me
He ain't a bad man. He just gets drunk & feels alone
I tend to go for a walk, hope hes asleep when I get home.
I don't like to talk about it though cause like I said it ain't his fault
It only happens when hes drunk as a last resort
I wanted to get him a gift to kinda show my support
But I had no money so I stole & then I gues I got caught.
At times like that I kinda switch of my mind
Stare blankly into space and let what happens unwind
That seemed to anger this guard so he hands round my neck
He said it's time for me to learn some manners & some respect
It hurt, but I've had worse before
But it made me realise life was just a series of wars
I went straight home that day and locked the bedroom door
Took a blade to both wrists, They won't hurt me no more.
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
[MARK:]
My name is Mark and today I was told my brother was dead
I returned from uni and burst into tears on his bed
Under his pillow, I found his suicide note & I read
What had happened that day & what had fucked up his head.
The anger I felt right then there no words to express
I filled up with so much rage there was no way to digest
I grabbed a knife & walked to town, it was time to regress
Back to an eye for and eye, last breath for last breath
I went straight up to the counter & said id like to speak
To the guard that nicked my brother on Tuesday of this week
As the girl went through a door & disappeared out of sight
I put my hand in my pocket and I gripped the knife tight
This was it, as she pointed me out to the guard
My hand began to shake as held the knife so hard
Then as he approached my there was nothing to say
I stabbed that fucker eight times before they could take me away.
Things in life ain't always quite what they seem, there's more than one
Given angle to any one given scene. So bare that in mind next time you try
To intervene on any one given angle, on any one given scene.
