LSK?s Verse)
My baby was born in a bed
With white sheet
s, machines and heat
Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps
Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV,
Talks, starts to walk, amongst l
ove and security
.
Goes to school, learns to read and write
Probably follows a team with his friends
And gets to ride the tra
in,
Probably fall in
love, probably fly on a plane
Get to work all week and spend what he earns
On the high street
He’s got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches,
Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses
Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard
Locks and alarms
, trinkets and charms,
Maybe a baby in his arms
(Maxi Jazz Verse)
My baby was born on his knees
One of poverty ‘s offspring
Came into the world coughing,
Already full of mother’s disease
Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash,
Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash,
Mama can’t get no sleep,
Baby never quite get enough to eat.
Goes to school, learns t
o steal and figh
t,
Probably form a team with his friends,
Go steam those trains
Fall in love and never trust nob
ody again
Gets to work all
week standing on the hi
gh street for Jo
e, Hustling blow
hustling
blow.
Probably fall in love, probably fly on a plane
Maybe, or maybe, fall in love and never trust nobody again
Probably fall in love, probably fly on a
plane
Maybe, or maybe, fall in
love and never trust nobody again
We got Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Maybe a baby in his arms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Maybe a baby in his arms
We got Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Locks, alarms, trinkets and charms
Maybe a baby in
his arms
Maybe a baby in his arms
End on Am
This is my first ever Tab.
