| 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 |
