Northampton's Child |
Northampton General, 1994 |
Mixed-race baby born |
Christmas well a week before |
Mum’s 16, family’s poor |
Family’s all she needs |
How they gonna show her the door? |
Babyfather’s mum any room at the inn |
Military road open doors welcome in |
Charlotte’s born, mum’s 17 |
Search for Rhys, where’s he been? |
All alone with two kids |
Got a flat from the council |
Spring Boroughs near the newsies |
Say that she’s using carrying a pram |
Son, wait here I’ll get you a juice quick" |
Three flights and she gotta do two trips |
No electric back to the newsies housing association moving |
Fam to the Eastern District, Lings |
Number 6 near the garages |
Fell in love with a drug dealer |
Picked us up in a limousine |
I remember lights |
Like a movie scene |
Took mum to dazzling heights |
Where she deserves to be |
Only queen lays me up and kept me clean |
Tell me right even when I wronged |
Wiped my arse and changed nappies |
Taught me time we made a clock |
12-hour shifts all week |
Tell me it never stops |
12-hour shifts all week |
Only queen lays me up and kept me clean |
Tell me right even when I wronged |
Wiped my arse and changed nappies |
Taught me time we made a clock |
12-hour shifts all week |
Tell me it never stops |
12-hour shifts |
Loyalty’s royalty that shit is priceless |
Mum took loans to make her home look nice |
Worked to the bone to put food on her side |
Clothes on the back and the shoes that we like |
Only one there when her brother’s on pipe |
Only one who cared and dealt with that shite |
Stepdad cheating before my brother died |
He had no reason the best woman in his life |
When my brother was born it was hospital visits |
Two G’s alike you know muscular dystrophy |
Shower cuddles and kisses |
Up to Oxford to get told in two weeks he ain’t living |
When he died we moved up to a village |
It was Hibaldstow, Scunthorpe one Christmas |
Then it’s back to North, what’s the difference? |
Stepdad on drugs, I think that he’s lost his mind |
Three crates a night, sipping tinnies, now someone’s dying |
I know we’re all angry too |
What’s mum done to you? |
You’re lucky I’m not as big as you |
I’ll punch you 'til my hands turn blue |
Kicked us out now we living at Tasha’s |
In her living room |
Funny how good vibes turn the room to a palace |
Dreams come true |
Mum told us, «kids |
Just imagine do anything as long as you do it with passion» |
Have everything no way I can pay you back |
I just hope I can make you proud |
I’m sorry for the times I was bad |
Acting like a spoilt child |
You’re the strongest person I know |
Made us happy even when you felt down |
Always other people first |
But I’m thinking for you right now |
Only queen |
Raised me up and kept me clean |
Told me right even when I’m wrong |
