D Diligent – to the scotty (Lyrics & Video)

to the scotty – D Diligent Lyrics

Police were called here at around quarter to seven

Where they found a man who was pronounced dead at the scene

Three other people were taken to the hospital

Just as I'm speaking to you more and more police arriving here

(Hook)

To the scotty where the rain still falls

Cold wind blow through the council halls

Names on the walls still echo lost

But we don't say much 'cause we know that cost

Grey sky nights and the siren's sound

Young hearts hurt but we still stand proud

World don't see what's really found

In the cold dark streets of a broken town uh

(Interview)

'No, you don't feel safe, you don't feel safe yourself

Walking around…yesterday, there was a full blown battle

With a few of them, just in the street'

This ain't postcards, this real fuckin' pain (real shit)

Blue lights flash in the pouring rain

Maws on the gear, few dads remain (fucked up)

Weans change just to fit the game

Smoke in the flats, damp in the halls (cold)

Name's get sprayed on the concrete walls (LB)

Nobody talks when the siren calls (shh)

Same fucked up stories, we've seen it all (every day)

We were young when we lost LB (rest easy)

Whole town hurt but we still don't speak uh (nah)

Scotland's cold but the pride runs deep yuh (still here)

World don't know what it's really like yeah (they don't)

World don't know what it's really like yeah (they don't)

(Hook)

To the scotty where the rain still falls

Cold wind blow through the council halls

Names on the walls still echo lost

But we don't say much 'cause we know that cost

Grey sky nights and the siren's sound

Young hearts hurt but we still stand proud

World don't see what's really found

In the cold dark streets of a broken town uh

(Bridge)

(Everybody's got a story where I'm from)

(Some just don't make it out)

(Verse – Danny Kelly)

Every single track man I rap like the rent's due (real rap)

I'm lucky to be alive considering what I've went through (thank fuck)

Growing as a person, am learning how to deal wae shit (mm)

Tracks have meaning no just rapping 'cause I feel like it (real shit)

The only one's helping are the ones that need help (that's facts)

Man, try make the most with the cards you've been dealt (gotta try)

Lost another pal to drugs this shit never ends (again?)

Everyone is suffering look out for your friends (look out)

These kids are all destined for a life of madness

John overdosed and died on a pishy mattress (fuck man)

Glasgow is a scary place advise you don't get lost

Or you might get stabbed, slashed or robbed (fucked up)

(Hook)

To the scotty where the rain still falls

Cold wind blow through the council halls

Names on the walls still echo lost

But we don't say much 'cause we know that cost

Grey sky nights and the siren's sound

Young hearts hurt but we still stand proud

World don't see what's really found

In the cold dark streets of a broken town uh
