I still remember first time how i felt when i heard this .... That instance hit of energy , the raw aggression and passion , i was only 17 probably , it just set off those perfect feelings of youthful rebellion i had and still have inside me - thank god i havent lost it - You have to be angry at something -sometimes its the only true measure of if your really still alive -
Great comment Miss Britt. I only recently discovered UK rap having grown up on American underground and this song hits me hard. I am almost 40 but still have that rebellious spirit in me although now i channel it against our disgustinggovernment and police dictators in Canada. This song hits me harder than most and I feel it deep within my soul. Except I will NOT be home by 8. Fuck curfews! Fuck lockdowns vaccines and masks. Fuck the new norma fuck covid!!!
Datkid id an absolute character . Seen him many times on nights out in Bristol and he was so humble and fun. We even did a rap battle In the street and he indulged it. Legend matt
20 years ago i was living in exeter and made similar music with dj philitame. The jedi mics, doozer, surplus.. the lowercase..(i am french....i was rappin in french and they were raping in english) we had many geegs in lemon grove and many orher place. Your music is incredible. I love it
I take a breath of smoke, let it go Then I take a second toke Grab a pen and flow, get into aggressive mode Pissed cause I can't even step on road to wreck a show Instead I’m home, with a tag around my leg alone And yeah I know I was a twat I was out stepping hotter with the coppers on my back And then I got another tag and didn't bother to try stopping it at that Chose to go get arrested over cotching at my flat And I bet those stinking pigs loved it when they raided me Took off my door and saw that I was cultivating weed Next day morning court making pleas Whilst the papers painting me to be some crazy beast just to make some P But I should have been holding it down instead of Floating around with my boat in the clouds Rolling through town smashed with a roach in my mouth Marker glued to my palm writing over your house (Chorus) Cause if you’re living as a sinner, then you pay the price That’s just the way of life and fuck living it like you ain't alive So that’s why I’ll be home by 8 tonight Cotching plotting with my grade alight Waiting for the day I rise Living as a sinner, so I paid the price That’s just the way of life and fuck living it like I ain't alive So that’s why I’ll be home by 8 tonight Cotching plotting with my grade alight Waiting for the day I rise (Verse 2) See truthfully, the only thing I’m regretting is getting caught I’d probably do it all again without a second thought But next time I’ll make sure I don’t have to step in court And get left with a ringing phone box on my bedroom floor Yeah F the law, fuck the judges and magistrates Fuck the prosecutors, fuck the journalists and the jakes Them man are waste, trying to have me banged away to clap a wage And now every time I walk the streets I acting prang and bait And all they say is “I’m just doing my job” But you chose to do your job, are you stupid or what? You’re just a glorified snitch with a uniform on To all the kiddies love to spit on when you move them along And the reason I’ll hate every one of these pricks till I die Is for the fact they’re trying to punish me for living my life Fuck your authority, I’ll shit on your stripes Then get home by 8, in time to scribble a rhyme and bring it alive (Chorus)
Fuck me man i'm feeling old watching this in 2024.... Hope life treatin all you boys good, not seen anyone about on-road in years, last i saw was Seri in St.G like 3 years ago. This a Bristol CLASSIC fam 🤧🤧
"AND ALL THEY SAY IS IM JUST DOING MY JOB, BUT YOU CHOSE TO DO YOUR JOB ARE YOU STUPID OR WHAT? defintately copping the album when it drops, straight talent
It's amazing how real Hip Hop is doing well and alive in other countries but in NYC where it was born it's a novelty and these young wack trap clowns don't respect it. Big ups! UK!
Been listening to some of this dudes catalouge and im very impressed , by not only his skills but the whole of the U.Ks skills and dedication to style and lyricism . U.S needs to catch up ya'll taking over haha - RESPECT always from NYC :)
Hip-Hop ain't dead, it just found a new home in the UK...
Avon and Somerset?
Real shit. Uk hip hop is taking heads. So many peeps don’t wanna acknowledge it
Literally ALL of Europe does this shit
Is this europe?

Datkid id an absolute character . Seen him many times on nights out in Bristol and he was so humble and fun. We even did a rap battle
In the street and he indulged it. Legend matt
Big up! Fresh track, Bristol stand up!!
Apart from the bandwagon jumping self hating woke cunts.
datkid kills it everytime. look out for Home by 8, due to drop soon. one of the biggest albums out in a while.
that cut of him spitting at the security cam footage. fuckin brilliant haha
How has CZcams already become a capsule to some of the greatest moments of the 21st century 🎉

I just stumbled upon this, hooked
It's always the stumble upons that are the best
Still banging this 9 years later! 👊🏽
I take a breath of smoke, let it go
Then I take a second toke
Grab a pen and flow, get into aggressive mode
Pissed cause I can't even step on road to wreck a show
Instead I’m home, with a tag around my leg alone
And yeah I know I was a twat
I was out stepping hotter with the coppers on my back
And then I got another tag and didn't bother to try stopping it at that
Chose to go get arrested over cotching at my flat
And I bet those stinking pigs loved it when they raided me
Took off my door and saw that I was cultivating weed
Next day morning court making pleas
Whilst the papers painting me to be some crazy beast just to make some P
But I should have been holding it down instead of
Floating around with my boat in the clouds
Rolling through town smashed with a roach in my mouth
Marker glued to my palm writing over your house
(Chorus)
Cause if you’re living as a sinner, then you pay the price
That’s just the way of life and fuck living it like you ain't alive
So that’s why I’ll be home by 8 tonight
Cotching plotting with my grade alight
Waiting for the day I rise
Living as a sinner, so I paid the price
That’s just the way of life and fuck living it like I ain't alive
So that’s why I’ll be home by 8 tonight
Cotching plotting with my grade alight
Waiting for the day I rise
(Verse 2)
See truthfully, the only thing I’m regretting is getting caught
I’d probably do it all again without a second thought
But next time I’ll make sure I don’t have to step in court
And get left with a ringing phone box on my bedroom floor
Yeah F the law, fuck the judges and magistrates
Fuck the prosecutors, fuck the journalists and the jakes
Them man are waste, trying to have me banged away to clap a wage
And now every time I walk the streets I acting prang and bait
And all they say is “I’m just doing my job”
But you chose to do your job, are you stupid or what?
You’re just a glorified snitch with a uniform on
To all the kiddies love to spit on when you move them along
And the reason I’ll hate every one of these pricks till I die
Is for the fact they’re trying to punish me for living my life
Fuck your authority, I’ll shit on your stripes
Then get home by 8, in time to scribble a rhyme and bring it alive
(Chorus)
Gangsta shit
