Da UK On-line Urban Magazine

This time round in Sparkbrook we did things differently. We did a little interview with some of the people in Sparkhill, 'The real Sparkies' and we got their opinion about the area and what other people from other areas thaink about Sparkbrook. See the video below. 

Sparkbrook's 16:

Everyone in Sparkbrook ain’t a terrorist

Half of them don’t even know what terror is

Got the feds harassing my relatives

When things ain’t even that bad, this is negative

Stereotypes are not right plus their prejudice

The colour of our skin don’t make us enemies

& forget the elders who get the young bucks peddalin

Foolin up their heads, got them gassed off adrenaline

Cameras getting put up all over the place

Damn, the whole of Sparkbrooks changed.

Put the guns down and focus on a good aim

I’m tryin to turn to turn a bad week into a good day

It’s like there’s nothing for us youth

The only time we get to express our feelings is in the booth

This maybe hard to take in but this is truth

So come to B11 and you’ll see living proof

Chorus (x2)

Dis is what East Brum’s like

It’s not a TV story or a punchline

And I wish I could tell you it was sometimes

What can I say?, it’s what it’s like in this tuff life
