Slept in a Bush

"Slept in a Bush," a song by Kurt Holes, depicts the gritty realities of urban life within a British rap/hip-hop context. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of poverty and hardship, focusing on themes of homelessness ("Slept in a bush"), camaraderie ("mates in the woodland huddle"), and defiance against societal norms ("Laughin' at the posh"). The repeated lines about cheap food ("cold chips in a soggy wrap") and nighttime escapades highlight the cyclical nature of their struggles and their resilience in the face of adversity. The song's overall purpose is to offer a raw and authentic portrayal of working-class experiences, showcasing both the harshness and the resilience of the depicted community.
