Story behind the song
Long story telling piece
Lyrics
Look at the mess,
Just to look around any town is like you took a few to the chest
Kids confused and they stressed, parents given up,
or theyre skint and so get consumed by their debts,
So what the youth have got left, They join a crew in a sec,
A bit of humour or looting someones jewels from they neck
Then one kid comes a long who wont give up his shit easily
But fuck that they jus boot him to death
Boys in blue come in next, kids are full of regret
A robbery it wasnt cause a dude is now dead
Could have a wife at home, kids with mouths to be fed,
But they robbed the kids of daddy, mummys truly upset,
And for the sake of argument, im gonna suggest,
That mummy goes through depression, lots of booze down her neck,
And one night, looks up at the sky,
Misses daddy so much, knows she cant get through the damn mess
So shes the next to go, and may god rest her soul,
And the story for the kids? What does theyre future hold?
Foster care wasnt there, sure they supplied a home
A man with slippy hands, set of eyes that roam,
-Well, you know the rest
Hope the kids feel real good runnin joinin crews in a sec
Government punishment? What you mean juvenille pens?
Sky TV, they just sit viewing the set,**
Aint bad enough to make em never wanna go back
Or never wanna go jack another bloke for his cash
Another joke with the lads, 2 knuckles broke on his hand
Families watchin, they hope for the fact that
Maybe the death haunts them, taunts them,
Now they see loads of signs to take caution
karma gona get them but what of the orphans?
Robbers think theyve felt pain? Nah not a portion
They truly robbed a fortune, love is important
Every single night you can hear the kids calling
"Mummy daddy save me" shit is appaling
Want to go back to the home that they were born in
The beds that were worn in, books that were drawn in
The family photos theyd covered the walls in
The same hugs that kept em warm in the autumn
"You remember them days sis?" "Yeah they were awesome"
Cant see why there parents lives have been shortened
Cant decide why this life theyve been caught in
Ask the sky until they cry, they try to see a light
Until theyre own very hope theyve exhausted
-Now theyve got no place better to turn to learn
But the streets now theyre hearts have been burned n burned
For the social theyre just not a firm concern
Got a gang now and its theyre turn to earn
A couple stripes, get in a couple fights
Dont sleep just for a couple nights
Pop these, this shit, your nut'll like
Get hooked? Nah kid, u trust me right?,
Youll be fine, u jus feel fuckin high"
Dealer was fuckin right, they did feel fuckin high,
They did feel up in skies, did heal up the cries,
But shit, he musta lied, cause now they up they might
Not wanna come down, take heed and listen*
One thing needed to feed addictions
A little bit of speed or some weed to fix em
Moneys what they need then they see a victim
Memories of their parents dont flood them
Just of the foster dad that used to touch them
All they feel is hate cause nobody has loved them
Since the age of eight, happy days they were tucked in
Another dude dies. Another few cries,
nother few lives affected as of to-night
They got their few stripes, but theyre confused why,
Didnt plan on taking any dudes life
So one kids parents were lazy,
he went out robbin and killed some mothers baby
The dude in the grave he, also had two babies,
Streets were the only thing left to do the raising
So daddys little boy and his minature lady,
Are raised up on drugs/crack/cocaine see,
They get addicted, just wishin to stay free
Of all the pain since there parents were slain 3,
Years later they need cash for what they feed
Cant get employment cause the streets is where they sleep
See a dude walkin home kinda late he,
Might have a penny to spare, so they debating,
One thinks fuck it, runs up with a blade he,
Demands money but the bloke says make me
So he stabs him, grabs his money an
