Crack Baby |
When I was young I knew this kid |
And his life was always madness |
His mum was up in crack rupts |
When he was young his Dad left |
Kids would call him 'have-not' |
And worse a baby can guess |
Scum, tramp, jackpot. |
His mum still at the crackspot |
He’s hungry and he’s hacked off |
There’s blood all down his tracktop |
Them bullies caught him slippin' |
He curls up when they’re kicking |
Punching, biting, spitting |
Now there’s phones out with the cams on |
He dies some more inside |
Then he cries when he gets stamped on |
It’s damn wrong |
Any part of him that was man has gone |
He’s finally knocked him out |
Saw a light and thought he’s van gone |
Only then to wake |
Right inside this town lost |
Home he don’t care much |
His only friend was Jack Frost |
His skinny little frame mates |
There’s cuts upon his grazed face |
Trying to find a safeway |
He looks above and screams, «Why'd you bring this hell on me?» |
At night I try and sleep but can’t; |
I hear this song |
I ain’t seen no man |
There’s no life to live here this town is a graveyard |
Well every day the problem seems to multiply |
And everybody’s keeping busy getting by |
Well if you listen closely you can hear them cry |
It’s just my city’s lullaby |
Years pass and he was chillin' |
On his park bench just spittin' |
Freestyling to himself about his life that was hell |
When this crazy local villain sat down and told him listen |
«I've seen how hard your life has been I think it’s time I helped» |
If you like, you work for me |
The boys will welcome you as well |
If you got beef then we’ve got beef |
We’ll ride on them with shells |
You never deserved the cuts you got |
Here’s your chance to passed them off |
Take a gamble, cast the rod |
It’s time you showed this world |
Says yeah man fuck it |
I might as well be thuggin' |
This life has gave me nothin' |
Can feel inside himself |
The accumulated hatred |
Was soon replacing basic |
Human moves a face with |
But it’s all about his future now |
Olders got him moving round |
Running guns, moving grams |
Flip-knife on his belt |
He’s dying to use his blade though |
For years you made him scapegoat now take note |
You try him now you’re getting straight poked |
I ain’t seen no man |
There’s no life to live here this town is a graveyard |
Well every day the problem seems to multiply |
And everybody’s keeping busy getting by |
Well if you listen closely you can hear them cry |
It’s just my city’s lullaby |
He’s the man now, stand down he’s shotting up this mad town |
Taxing other shotters with yoggers and his mad pals |
I called him Sonic, wherever he went there was always tales |
Of terror |
I think he’s trying to even the scale |
He feels euphoric |
A hoodrat that was beaten down |
Ironically giving the beatings now |
It’s all evened out |
A child that was screaming out |
Is a man with an evil scowl |
Oh shit! |
What’s this? |
Someone that he’s seen in town |
Used to punch him around |
Now he’s reaching around yo' |
And his heater is out so |
Now he’s blastin' rounds |
And his target’s down |
Like Warren in Barking town |
And he’s laughing proud |
His heart is drowned |
Nobody can save him now |
He’s a monster made by man |
Mary Shelly ain’t around |
So this ain’t no act of fiction |
When I find these words and fix em |
To the page to make you see |
Where this child went off the rails |
I’m done |
I ain’t seen no man |
There’s no life to live here this town is a graveyard |
Well every day the problem seems to multiply |
And everybody’s keeping busy getting by |
Well if you listen closely you can hear them cry |
It’s just my city’s lullaby |
