Time to Make a Change - Goldie Lookin Chain

Lookin' back, times they was whack

I used to steal from my grandma, my style was so slack

Nothing i could do to stop sucking on a brew (?)

If I kept on this way next stop was the glue

Had to get away, had to find a way out

So I raised up my fist and gave a GLC shout

Tidy

Lookin back, I was on the edge

But I had to make a pledge

To the GLC, cos you knows they’ll set you free

And if you open your eyes you can see

You knows it

1983 to the present day

Safe as fcuk

Knows it

Yeah, the GLC saved a lot of people’s lives

Stopped a lot of people getting stabbed with big knives

All these people here in one big crew

… (?) between me and you

We wanna stop all the violence on the streets

We wanna get the kids together

Wanna make 'em feel sweet

We gotta stop all the stuff thats goin' on

… (?), and smoke on a bong

GLC GLC (serious)

The only thing in life what could ever save me (respect)

GLC GLC (38 double D Killer, … (?)

The only thing in like what could ever save me (2000 AD)

GLC GLC (the rod (?))

The only thing in life what could ever save me (Benwa Balls)

GLC GLC (One Step Down)

The only thing in life what could ever save me (Burnside)

GLC knows it

2000 AD

2000 AD was a bad boy you see

That’s what they said back in early '83

It wasn’t my fault, my father was a boozer

He used to beat me up and said I was a loser

But times they have changed

My style’s less insane

Cos I sees the light in the Goldie Lookin Chain

Big shout out to DCI Burnside

One Step Garage Crew

You fcukin' knows it

You know, sometimes I go into Pil late at night

I sees robbings and beatings

People smokin' draw

I think, there’s gotta be a better way man

Ya know, I think it’s time for the GLC to make a change

It’s time to make a fresh start

Like Biggie n 2Pac, innit

GLC GLC

The only thing in life what could ever save me

GLC GLC

The only thing in life what could ever save me

GLC GLC

The only thing in life what could ever save me

GLC GLC

The only thing in life what could ever save me

Lookin back, times was strange

Like Barry Bethel makin the change

Blastin through, using tablets and pills

At community centres I got the skills

But now we gets together in the GLC

And smokes loads of fags and has cups of tea

You gotta do it

Join in too

Like YTS when you’re smacked out on glue

Oh son, the days of the 9 bar are over

It’s all ounces and quarters now clart

Serious man, I’m serious

There’s no room for gangsters on the streets no more

There’s no room for beatin’s or fightin

It’s time for chillin' innit

Fresh

Lord of lords

King of kings

Concrete lion in Newport

Screwface

Fcuk knows who screwface is

Razz as fcuk

Heavy flow
