lyrics

[Verse 1]
It all started with a car chase G
Now you’re standing up on Parkgate Street
The CCJ and RTÉ make it a fast-paced heat
I still wonder why your ma hates me
It was unclear
Growing up, you’d an awful life, it was unfair
Your oul’ fella left the gaff and wouldn’t come near
The oul’ one sitting gargled, looking at you with a dumb stare
And what you’ve done here is take the last resort
Your time is going fast in court
You’d stand true till you fall, brand new to it all
Born yesterday and still taking the plastic off
And I could say you’re a lot of things, but the last was soft
I’d rather kill myself and my moth’d ring for the casket cost
She’d get the quote and I’m gone
If you’re missing me just listen to the lyrics that I wrote in my song
You’re in a prison, I can visit and just hope you’d be strong
I had a vision you were living and forgiven
I awoke, it was wrong.

[Bridge]
Yeah
When my mate passed, he
He left me a letter
And when I read the letter, this
This is what it said, it said, eh

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Me ma doesn’t hate you pal; you need to see it through
She just sees a lot of me in you
She used to tell me that it’s very important for someone being true
She’d snap If she knew about half the stuff that we would do
But I’ll get straight to the point
Think about your fucking future while you’re sitting and you’re making a joint
You really want all that restraint on your life?
Look at me man, I was just the same as you but then I strayed to the white
I’ll admit it was a habit at first, but then I needed it to function
I’ve done shit you won’t believe, it was disgusting
It’s never really something you perceive unless you’re hustling
Or grow up and the streets is what you trust in
I’ve seen people suffering
So, I wanted to end mine
As if you didn’t know, okay you wanna pretend, fine
I just wanted to tell you that I fought to the end, tryin’
I never thought I’d see grown men cry or my friend dying.

[Outro]
Yeah
Now you're standing up at Parkgate
Yeah
