Ok lemme tell you bout Jerome,

Just a young black boy growing up in Reading,

Dad died young mummy raising em alone,

Fearless black queen but she scared of where they’re heading,

Cuh she was still young when she lost the love of her life,

Cuz of things that he done to provide,

No GCSEs so he picked up some grub and a knife,

Got stabbed in a club and he died,

Jeromes little brothers too young to understand,

But Jeromes 15 so he’s feeling all the pain,

Ain’t no bond like a Dad and his son,

Now his son lost his dad that turned sun into rain,

So now things are looking bad in the house,

The stress got his mum going mad in the house,

And his older brother laytons only 18,

And he’s grieving but he gotta be the man of the house,

And you know them bills gotta pay,

So he phoned for that re up and he was on his way,

And he ain’t tryna go out like his dad,

So he’s rolling with his cheffer, serving spaghetti and bolognese, to any cat that want a plate,

Year down the line and his lines beating,

He put his team on so everybody’s eating,

And he made Jerome stick to his football,

And he’s banging nuff goals when he plays his team wins,

Then Jerome gets signed…

When he signed on that paper his mum cried,

Cuh when she see the look in her sons eyes,

It gave her hope for the first in a long time,

Her first love got taken,

Then her first son got kicked out cuh she found drugs in the house,

Like Layton how you bring this shit in my house,

Tek dis and all you rasshole tings out my house,

And don’t come back,

But really she just want her son back,

But it would go against her morals,

To let him stay in her house when she’s knowing that he does dat,

So she’s gotta make an example,

Let her 2 younger boys know that she ain’t supporting it,

And even though the roads get harmful,

I guess she would rather lose 1 than lose all her kids,

So she’s working overtime, she in over drive,

Tryna make sure that Jerome is nice,

She ain’t gonna have him in no bruk down boots,

So just know when he shoots man it’s only Nikes,

But guess it’s only right, cuh 1 day her little boy gone be a star,

And Jerome can’t wait til he can but his mum a car, and a house,

So he’s out in the park, til it’s dark tryna pounce for the chance,

So that he can have the proudest of marges,

1st game, smashed it,

Came on sub and he got a hatrick,

Gaffa likes him cuh he ain’t just match fit,

He’s bang goals run around defenders do laps fit,

And understands tactics, Jerome got it all,

Got the crowd going mad when Jeromes got the ball,

He was top scorer for the next 2 season,

Then he got a tackle from behind and felt a pull,

Now the physio is saying that he might not play anymore,

And if he does play that it won’t feel the same as before,

And Jeromes tryna stay tough, but he noticed that the coaches ain’t showing the same love,

I mean they showing him some but it ain’t much,

Used to love him when he banged all the goals but they changed up,

And as if it couldn’t get any worse, his brother had some beef and let it burse,

So he try dip out on a flight to barbados, but you know them pussyhole Jakes got him first,

And they got his bread and seized all of his shit, Mummy ain’t got much she put it all into him,

So now he feels like he’s gotta take responsibility if he ain’t playing ball how he gonna get it in,

So he linked up with his bredrin smokes like yo dawg,

Smokes: wa gine orn Soulja, what you tellin me,

If I’m being real man I’m all up in my feels and I don’t know how to feel or what to do it’s hella peak,

Friend: Ok den big man I hear bout you brudda I vex bad too man dey gotta let him free,

Trust me, and ontop of that I fucked my knee, so when I’m out recovery I might not even touch the team, it’s fuckery,

It’s like my whole worlds turned upside down

Like how the fuck am I gonna help my mum now,

Friend: Yeah I hear what you said, and i down bad to so we gotta get ahead,

Well I got a lick for a brick and I know how to whip so come lewi get this bread.
