Nobody's Soldier

Broken homes and broken bones

Dysfunctional families and foster homes

He feels so alone

Crying out for attention he hits the road

He’s a big man now and he won’t be told

All the boys got his back

Feels part of the pack

Safety in numbers

Always down for a scrap

Beefing in the inner city hoods

With the boys from the high rise flats

No straps, no gats

Two hands won’t last

It’s a dog eat dog mentality

Getting out of hand real fast

Gotta gain the advantage

Explain to the mandem that

A blade concealed in your trackies is the only way

To fight back on the counter attack

But the tale takes a turn for the worst in a flash

Your mother lays next to her baby

Stabbed in the back

You’re somebody’s hero you’re nobody’s soldier

A victim in a photo that never grows older

You’re somebody’s hero you’re nobody’s soldier

A statistical conclusion to a culture they sold ya

Broken skin and broken kin

Pulled out a sharp and poking him

Pick a point and he focus in he don't care look he ghosting him

Man are hotter than a roasting tin

Now his souls are covered in red

Don't know what to do so he duck and fled

Looking over his shoulder he looks for feds

All bold on road now he's hopping a fence

Left guys in the past tense

Now his futures looking intense

End up in a coffin or a cell

But he at least he won't have to worry bout the rent

So much wasted another life spent

All too soon for a circle of friends

Now bloods in the air and it circles the ends

When are we gonna see this tale end?

You’re somebody’s hero you’re nobody’s soldier

A victim in a photo that never grows older

You’re somebody’s hero you’re nobody’s soldier

A statistical conclusion to a culture they sold ya
