Broken Silence #Lyrics
I grew up in the same places as
Ricky got shot in the face
I saw Abraham's brain split on the pave
He jumped off the block, right where the kids play
We used to sit everyday
Chattin' shit, We all strayed
I guess its deep-seated urban decay
From my angle I can see the ghetto burning away
I wanna cry, I find myself turning away
This kid 16, Burning the yay
Mislearning the game
I send a prayer for the pain
CHORUS:
As I stand here
Oooooo
Watching the world go round
How it always gets me down
Is it supposed to be like this?
Like this?
As we ride, (As we ride)
Oooooo
To gain an edge in life
Someone always seems to try
To come in the way, Is it supposed to be like this?
I come from a place where
You can't tell what's round the corner
Going to jail, Or fail
Getting fucked up
Like them little black kids from Bronx Tale
Well, As long as we're living in hell
In the streets violence will always dwell
I can tell you a thousand tales
Documented in detail
And most niggas can relate around the world
My nigga Kurt got found
With bullet rounds in his chest
Up in the ATL
And the papers hate me well
I'm trying to revoke the violence
Not promote the violence
This is my broken silence
And you can hear my screams louder than police sirens
I'm tryna fight back
Like my nigga little Byron
Just as long as I love and stay vibrant
I shall prevail
And I shall not betrayal
I shall put my hands up at the end and say I done well
Only time will tell, fo' real
[CHORUS]
(Last verse coming from the heart)
I guess we need more stability
It's like we're imprisoned in the ghetto and it's getting to me
To the point where I'm feeling institutionalised
Look in my eyes
You'll see pain in it
But who can decide?
Whether I stay entrapped in
Packed in
Or fly from the restraining of thoughts packed in-side my brain but
I proclaim that I will withstand the rain in
- order to get out this game, plus
The media, Government
Tried to blow us
But they can't out the flame
Or doubt the name
Shit and your evolution's about to change
Trust me
Sitting round tables with the ties and shirts
With the lust to discuss me
You disgust me
So I must be
As level headed as I can
To never back pedal on the plan
So we can all hold hands together
Unite so we can live as one
[CHORUS x2]

Banger still in 2024! Who agrees?
Amen dude
2022, i am 30 years old and this song still touches a soft spot like it did 15 years ago!
Qaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq11aqqqqqq
Qqqqqqqqq
Qqq
Shit myself and thought you meant tunes 30 years old Ffs 😩
@@allandickinson7424 😭🤣 maybe I should of made it clearer looool "I'm 31 years old"
Probably the most iconic tune from So Solid. Ever lasting
Video filmed in Feltham just before they demolished the old town centre - for those of us who grew up there this is probably the last memory of how it used to look.
Oasis also filmed their video for Stand By Me there in 1997.
Who is listening this masterpiece in 2020? Another timeless R&B UK Tresor
Me lol
Iyah
Meee
Just listening to bedroom dj on Internet radio. This tune comes on. Never heard it before. Had to check it out. Quality!!!
@@colinr625 Harvey took Romeo to court
ua-cam.com/video/NymKB2Csh-4/v-deo.html
Growing so old now, as I stand here, was it supposed to be like this? Couldn't wait to grow up, now I miss my old self
This song was way ahead of time
This song still gives me goosebumps and gets me emotional, a true masterpiece.
Hard-hitting lyrics, what a timeless classic and reminds me of simpler days.
timeless is correct.... this relates to current events...i suppose thats what makes art so prevelent... the ability to apply your imagination or realtity to the piece
This deserved to be way bigger than it was
Swiss verse still gives me goosebumps till this day like it did when I first heard it as a 13 year old when it first come out
All the verses are from Swiss…
Swiss is 1 of the best rappers this country has ever produced
He was really just a DJ
Yip . Multi talented because he had high quality rap skills
2024 born in 1990 this tune stil fiiiiiire these kids will never know true music!!!
I feel so old listening to this! Take me back to those days! young and free no cares in the world
Yep
BANGER
The guy who sings the hook is Iranian I think
16 years ago
True Jodie your only truly happy during those young years
Who’s listening in 2019!🔥🔥
2022
Yep, great song
Still in 2020
Still going strong in 2020
2020 and counting . Class
Anyone here 2020 this song will never get old 💥
Swiss Cry
Real talk 💯 31 years on this earth and dammm its change over the years just wish the youth wud listen to this 🔥🔥🔥 might change some of there mind sets
im some of the youth
my dad told me about them
if you grew up in the inner city council estate esp in london in the mid 90's this song should relate, does to me, so solid represented like no one has since
def especially in Woolwich
Ec1 all day every day!!!!!
@Da Ni yh better than NW8 son whatever that is!!!
So true man I'm so high right now
David Chase fuck postcodes bro
This was one of the realest Hip-Hop tracks to ever come out of the UK. *Listen* *to* *the* *lyrics*, just don't bop your head to the beat.
True
Exactly
Crows Descend swiss made the track fire with his bars🔥🔥
Ok pac
One of THE most realist "Garage" tracks to have ever come out of the UK, don't ya mean!
So Solid Crew have only ever been UK Garage ... They contributed massively in paving the way for the Grime scene which we've all come to know & love!
🎤 🎧 😍🎶
With everything going on right now, this song speaks VOLUMES ! ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾
for reallllllll
I was 30 when this song came out and I still cherish it!!
Damn you're old
One of the most underrated songs ever!! Still Loving this going deep in 2017!!
Jaap Stam Too right Jaap!!!!
This hit me hard. Such a powerful song. I remember when this was filmed and the graffiti that was left for years until they pulled the old center down. I used to walk down that little alley a lot. You can take the girl outta Feltham but you can never take the Feltham out of her. 🤜❤️🤛
This never gets old!!!
remember when it was on channel U around 2003 or 2004
This is one of those rare songs that was on every channel, not just channel U
What the fuck is that??? :|
Deborah ??
Don't act like you don't know what I mean. Hahaha.
Deborah ohh lol my DP is pic of a vagina XD
What a song definitely top 3 so solid songs
One of the realest songs they did 🙏🏻
I'm here in 2020 like i never left this video deserves a grammy or oscar one of them big awards there they was making videos like this back in the day and look at the scene now this was the golden era and i'm glad this was my generation real talk
this is timeless
Listening in December 2020 and since the early 2000’s. One of the most real songs ever made in English transverse hip hop / OG garage.
Best tune they ever did.
Yeah, this one was nice.
And all the credit goes to Swiss, he was the best in So Solid by a mile
@@R8teen18 yeah he is very talented but dont forget that the only ones that had an alright solo career was lisa mafia and romeo, plus Romeo had the best verse in 21 seconds, it wasnt as lyrical but it stuck in your head. I would say the best mcs were Romeo, mega man, swiss, Harvey, Asher D, Mac had barz too and let's not forget neutrino, I believe he and oxide had more hit singles or something
Still one of the hardest tunes till this day, B.
Brings back so many memories xx
respect the OGs. 2023 and this still hits hard
Swiss was always the best in So Solid, So Solid need to come back, Especially Swiss he goes hard
I really like the shopkeeper scene...I can’t put my finger on it though. Maybe it’s the irony of him looking fed up & saying he wants to get ahead in life. Class song tho, never gets old
mjbdvp I’m the exact same.. think the voice tone also matches his looks as if he’s actually singing it? Also totally agree with the irony of him.. living in London when you’re not wealthy has never and will ever be easy
Alex McEvity well in mate
dude is now the police chief in murder in paradise
Years later this song still gives me goosebumps. Icon
I wonder where these guys are now. When you're young you feel like you're immortal but time stands still for no man.
L G most are in prison,concerts,films
Had to take time out just to say, this was one of the realest comment I heard in awhile... "time stands still for no man"
They are still putting the odd song out here and there.. solo wise mostly. But they don't get views like they did. Their new stuff is very underground. Lisa Maffias tune -Whagwan for example only has 40,000 views
Everywhere ☃️🙃☃️
I love this track just so positive much love from Dublin/Ireland
Much love from Jamaica- got a lot of Irish blood out here
Dec 2023 and still never gets old! ❤
Being from where they’re talking about hits a different part of my soul
After all the Glitz and glamour...this is the reality of the hood...🙌....."As i stand here watching the 🌏 go round how keeps me down...It it suppose to be like this like as we rise to gain and edge in life...someone always comes in the way..is it supposed to be like this...R.I.P to all the youths all over 🇬🇧...R.i.P Stephen Lawrence and all the youngin who lost their life's to the streets ❤✊
Chip just used this sample for his new tune w Young Adz
This tune works from back in the day to today.
I remember being in Feltham when this was filled and still love this song in 2021
This came on while I was listening to BBC 1xtra at work. I tell ya, it was like jumping in a time machine back to the early 2000s. The nostalgia 😌😌
2023 and this song is more relevant now than it ever has been,,,,, writer was way way way ahead of us,,,, believe that
This song is timeless!!
Very touching lyrics 😢 but very good rap song
My Gs. Everything about this riddim is on point. I can play this every day and not get bored. Legendary times 😢
Dude not heard this for a while gave me goosebumps. A truly powerful song.
Take me back to these days I miss it so much 😢
As White working class youths from a poor council estate we were always in and out of prison, people getting stabbed and stabbing youths just like us from neighbouring estates in Birmingham we defently related to this tune....
Stetchford lad here trust me I get ya
@Paul Osc Slots fair play to ya lad, handsworth alone is enough.
@Paul Osc Slots hats off to you mucka, I'm no sausage and I ain't scared of anyone but I genuinely wouldn't do that lol
@Paul Osc Slots worst place I've been was brownhills believe it or not, similar sort of thing
@Paul Osc Slots thing is I'm brownhills it's a clicky place and if you go round there with an accent or they don't like the look of you that's it and yeah so have I, thing is before I had my daughter I didn't care and would literally fight anyone for any given reason (not proud or bigging myself up) but I soon learned to grow out of that as I got myself in to things I either couldn't handle or things I could handle but it became an everyday occurrence
I worshipped this song when it first came out and it's only now I realised that it had a deep meaning. Geez, I'm dumb.
Akala who is also Ms. Dynamite's Lil brother is one of THE most talented artists I've ever had the privilege of seeing perform live. Sorta glad he doesn't get aired on BBC radio 1 etc... Makes them all the more meaningful. Especially the tracks he performed on Charlie Sloth's "Fire In The Booth"
Could literally listen to him all day! 😍☯😜☯
CrystalBall9000 We get wiser as we grow. Youth is wasted on the young , if only we knew then what we know now. 2 really important quotes. Young uns please listen. Save yourself years of crap times
Carole hankinson - so true if only we could know beforehand but there is a happiness that is only in our young years
This song will never get old.
Who here after listening to D Block Europe and Chip 🤷🏾♂️
here here 😂😂
Hopefully they can pull it off its a classic you cannot mess with a original sample I hope they don't murder it like animals 😂💀💀💀🙈🙈🙈
@@chromedeck6995 so solid gave them the thumbs up to use it so it can't be horrible
