Lyrics

If it tip one way — that's Bed time
Tip the other — that's fed time
If it balance — that's rare round here
Justice don't live near the flatline
Grew up off The Avenue, blocks near the roundabout
Where the feds know your surname before you leave your house
Queens Park bredrin caught a charge at sixteen
Not 'cause he done it, but his skin said "scene"
They search us like we are terrorists, brother, what's the cause?
Section 60 feel like martial law outdoors
Solicitor don't care, just clockin' her hours
While man's life hang low like the Priory towers
Heard the judge say "repeat offender" in court
But how do you break cycles when you are born in the short?
Job Centre got you begging' for peace
While the real crime's in council lease receipts
Now I walk through Bedford High Street, see pain in the face
Of youngers in Nike tech, no hope in the place
They say "just go straight" but the roads got bends
And the system got cracks where they lose most friends
Kempston boy tried to make his ends meet clean
But they pay him pennies, so he plots with his team
Not 'cause he evil — just wants a route out
But the scales already tipped from the moment he sprout
You see justice in Bedford? Depends where you live
Goldington boys get warnings — Queens Park, get nicked
These recipts 'bout crime like we ain't got dreams
Like we don't want peace, just a slice of the means
Justice ain't random. It's postcode coded
And in this town silence echo louder than sirens
Now I walk through Bedford High Street, see pain in the face
Of youngers in Nike tech, no hope in the place
They say "just go straight" but the roads got bends
And the system got cracks where they lose most friends
Kempston boy tried to make his ends meet clean
But they pay him pennies, so he plots with his team
