Poverty pimps (chunk and Kenny mac)

[kenny mac]

Chunk gave me this track to work on and I had forgot.
His work always inspires me and from the minute I heard it ,it was always going to be about this.
Political? Yes
True unfortunately yes.
Watch out they're gonna get ya

 
Brexit And all the carnage that connects itAs subtle as a crashing iron bar Across your Car A slash across your face thats going toLeave a scarWe exit .Weve got our ball and no one gets itWe run away just like a spoiled childThats running wildThe Pinstripe suits surround usWith thier hands  out.Ahh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaGet yaAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaGet ya Rents rise,Hey pick on some body your own sizeSome people living out of plastic bagsThat lie on ragsThe clock s are busy tickingBut your life ,it dragsChildrenThat never have enough to eatA system that evolves beyond controlThey sell your soul And pour your money down a never ending holeAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaGet yaAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gonna to get yaGet yaShhhhhI think I heard a politician His word they fire like ammunition fastThe mould is castThe people try and move to escape the blastLife stopsThe penny dropsThe people look around and finally wake upAnd the mould it starts to break upAnd they can clearly see it sets them freeAnd  opens up thier  branches like a growing  treeAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaGet yaAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gong to get yaGet yaAhh ahh ahh a ahWere the poverty pimps were gonna to get yaGet ya

great collaboration, i like a song with a message to it. really good lyrics, catchy chorus, love the backing vocals. catchy upbeat music too. backing track seemed a little distant at times, but really good. It reminded me that i did a song about brexit couple of years ago lol.

I would never in a hundred years presuppose to understand Europe's or the UK's politics...but I will tell you that we have more homeless and poor than ever in the US....and more rich than ever as well...I have no real idea why.... I know there are a certain number of folks who like the idea of living free, owing nothing, doing nthing...etc....It's quite shocking to me...the looks of California, Seattle etc...
I suppose it's nothing new really...
I try to be quiet about what I see because I think we are all being played...
so I try to do the best I can...to love and be loved...to care about others...help as many as I can....especially my own...
and in the meantime...I. like you takes solace in music...the great escape...
great tune...I have heard some of Chunk's stuff before ...it's good....how long did you sit on this? 
I want to hear this a bunch

[Groundy]

Nice one, Kenny, really well done. And so true, great colla... Alex

[Zoltan]

Great collaboration! The song idea is very different and keeps the lyrics (with real meaning) at the forefront. The backing vocals and the main hook are both understated and catchy.

[Hilary]

Oh very nice indeed Kenny and Chunk (good to see Chunk back on the board again!)

[Ferryman_1957]

I was expecting a punky angry rant when I read the lyrics, so the very subtle approach was a real surprise. It's really cleverly put together and  creates more impact than a shouty punky song. Kind of Shipbuilding vibe if you get what I mean. There's some great stuff going on in Chunk's backer and you lay the vocals superbly over the top. Excellent collab guys.

[Hook]

Brilliant guys, what spectacular lyrics/vocals. You really lifted this cool, understated, almost techno zone out track and made such a cleverly delivered statement. I dig it brother. & I do hope.chunk is well...been a while.
Rock on!

[Greeny]

Bang on the money politically (for me at least), and very interesting & quirky stylistically. Lots of hooks - especially on the backing vox and the chorus refrain. Very fine music for bloody difficult times (as the self-harm of Brexit unfolds further by the day). Nice one.

[BerryPatch]

I love the contrast between the cutting social commentary and the somber yet weirdly urgent vibe of the instrumental. Kinda reminds me of Scary Monsters era Bowie, stuff like 'Scream Like A Baby', especially with those backing vocals. Great stuff....
