Once knew a kid from Durham City
Often finding chilling with me
We were kids and grew on quickly
'Cause that's just the way it goes
Upbringings weren't so pretty
So through mutual decision
Yeah we stuck through thick and thin
Where others would come and go
We related through our struggles
It's like fate had brung us close
'Cause we understood each other
So I classed him as a bro
Introduced him to my music
Got me working on the floors
He inspired me to pursue it
Just to see how far it goes
Our childhoods weren't sheltered
So attempted to experiment
Tryna find the ganja
So we found out where the elders went
A session den
Where they took advantage of the resident
They'd only take the door off
If everyone had let 'em in
See now we're caught up in a sticky situation
'Cause we're surrounded by strangers
And they offer what they're taking
Talk about trying to save face
It didn't take too much persuasion
Lines locked up on a plate
Left their lives forever changed
Shit
See this is where it really takes a turn
When I was growing up
Dad said I'll never learn
'Cause this is where it really takes a turn
You numb your pain with fire
Then of course it's gonna burn
Yeah this is where it really takes a turn
There's nothing in the village
Yet no one seems concerned
'Cause this is where it really takes a turn
All I've done is lost
Give myself no chance to earn
Mix prescriptions with sativa
And there's powder on the visa
There's Makina from the speaker
The same mix they kept repeating
Faces come and leave
Just as the night is getting deeper
Outside pulls up a Beamer
Introduction to a dealer
Paint peeling from the ceilings
It's a place of neglect
And taking pace in front of my face
Is my biggest regret
Soon as I seen it wasn't right
We should've turned and just left
Yet we're too young to realise
That we're out of our depth
I'm inhaling fumes
Watching them pace in the room
So I'm embracing the feeling
Because I sort of assumed
Since I see it in the movies
And I hear it in tunes
That taking drugs must be the answer
So I thought it was true
Question the mentality
Children in a place they had no right to be
Pressure 'em to thinking that they cannot leave
Said it'd make a man of me
And I believed the fantasy
Without realising I'm taking part in a tragedy
See this is where it really takes a turn
When I was growing up
Dad said I'll never learn
'Cause this is where it really takes a turn
You numb your pain with fire
Then of course it's gonna burn
Yeah this is where it really takes a turn
There's nothing in the village
Yet no one seems concerned
'Cause this is where it really takes a turn
All I've done is lost
Give myself no chance to earn
Well let this story fast forward
And I've just turned eighteen
And that means that six years have passed
With a lot in between
And now I'm hardly ever sober
Struggle to be clean
I try to keep my distance
But I'm in a routine
These streets will be the death of me
If something doesn't change
Well I finally got my wish
I got a call the other day
See I was doing bad
But my friend was doing worse
And the next time I seen him
He was inside of a hearse
They said it's suicide
'Cause addiction's a curse
And the worst thing about it
And what really hurts
It was my idea to find the house
I tempt him at first
So all of this is my fault
I caused a turn
Shit
