歌词
The mum don't speak
She get a front row seat
So her son can sleep for eternity
One don't seek but don't concern me
But she opened up to me personally
And I show her love 'cause it burns me
Nobody's mum don't deserve this
Over some drugs it's disturbing
He was no angel but I ain't so perfect
To not see my mum in his mom like she birthed me
Memories, golden clouds other people around us
Money ain't everything
I count my blessings not just for me
But to spread to my next of kin
You know my bros
She told me I resembled him
Eyes, nose and everything
Went the same school but I don't remember him
He was much younger
And I was probably there before the cycle had settled in
5-0 arrested him
Same book I know the story too well
20/20 I already saw it too well
Them man are checking scoreboards
They went and warned you well
It's never called for even when it's afforded you well
So I know what's happening today
Can't turn a cheek when they slap me in my face
Just like the voice you label off of
Everyone's playing the blame game it's your fault
Generations stand in line
We forgotten how it started
Man are just hoppin' outta cars with tools
And poppin' at apartments
Mummy don't understand the logic in this carnage
We fools, impossibly our fathers
Must be a robber or an arsenist
Well I have been a robber in the past tense
Festival season soon come
I'm coming like rubbin' when I pass tents
She said I sound like her son did
I said "I wish I coulda met him
'Cause he sounds like the one kid
I probably coulda reached before a gun did"
Life is like a candle in the wind
Lord protect me and my friends
There's a beauty buried in the mist
Help me see Heaven in the end
Appreciate the ones we have left
Long as everyone's blessed
Only thing that matters in the end
I know you're probably thinking who's calling you (Calling you)
'Cause I know it's late
I've run out of places to run to
But this couldn't wait
'Cause I miss my baby
No you can't replace
No you couldn't save him
Blame me instead
'Cause I know those who erased him
Pick your fights or pick your flight
We're the only one who can lose your life
Momma hurt, momma cry
We're the only one who can lose your life
I called out for my mum in my last breath
(Momma, momma)
Now I'm just another son in a casket
A mummy once answered
She don't have a clue why I deserved this
She probably think I died a virgin
But I was ridin', lurkin', firin', burstin'
And now the bee squashed I been gone for a decade
No one comes to the cemetery regularly
For the block I lick shots like Pele
Now I'm just a distant memory of anything
Mum's the only one that stopped living when I did
Most my brothers got sons and they livin' the nice bit
They took the drugs and the guns and put it behind them
But nobody repped for the hood like I did
Memories, golden clouds other people around us
Money ain't everything
Comes and goes
And it, it never stays for me
Isn't there love for me
Lord watch over me
Oh
Ooh, ooh
I, I, I really don't understand
Why they are not treating this as the emergency that it is
It is a public disaster happening in slow motion in front of our eyes
If these young people were ah, white
And they were on the streets of Maidenhead in her constituency
And in Windsor, uh, there would be an utter uproar
It would not be ignored
This is institutional racism at the heart of government
It is as simple as that
Help me see Heaven in the end
Appreciate the ones we have left
Long as everyone's blessed
Only thing that matters in the end
Lord protect me and my friends
Appreciate the ones we have left
Long as everyone's blessed
Only thing that matters in the end
Lord protect me and my friends
Appreciate the ones we have left
Long as everyone's blessed
Only thing that matters in the end
(Ah) Ah
(Ah)
