Amen (x3)

Let's go Jordan

1994, I was born to my birth

1994, I was born to this world

Single parent; four boys, three girls

Daddy was a drinker then he moved onto work

Gave me his bad habits, addicts and a flirt

Wish I had his curls though, so I could have a perm

Drugs ruined my family man, I guess we're all cursed

Tubes hanging out my sister while she's laying there, burnt

Machines bleeping and I'm screaming at the nurse

Blood's coming out of wounds, I can see that she's hurt

Told 'em fix my sister up or someone's getting merked

Hope you know I love you sis, I'm sorry for that verse

Moving too fast, let's reversе

We moved to Salford, now I'm sat on the curb

Calling mе pikey, I'm feeling like a nerd

Rockport in school man, that just made it worse

Never had the matching blazer, or the matching shirt

When I told my mum I went shopping with her purse

Next day I came home, covered in dirt

Thought she'd be mad, but we hugged and smirked

Swear to God, she's too good for this Earth

Told her when I'm older, it'll all get returned

That's why I give her every penny that I earn

My brothers went to jail, and soon it was my turn

Seen our Dad in a hearse, still we didn't learn

Never could imagine all the years that I'd serve

Tornado squad, I'm bad with my nerves

Any jail that I've been, I got wrapped and transferred

Before I had a girlfriend, was riding that bird

Solitary confinement, I'm disturbed

Break down at mass, I cry in the church

Before I wrapped Turks and clapped at Mercs

Before I, let it burst, put straps in dirt

Before I, nat nerds and took their worth

Before I, rapped words, I was a good kid first

Let's take it back to my teens

Used to play for Peel United Football team

Me and Kane on the pitch, Scholes and Keane

Thought we'd make it out the streets, stole that dream

Hard to make it out around coke and fiends

Waking up to Police, bangs and screams

Blacked out men waving M16's

Had my whole body full of fucking red beams

Thirteen, bagging green

My first re-up was a Z of cheese

By fifteen, we was little thieves

Climbing through windows doing little sneaks

Kicking off doors, we was taking trees

Then they sent me away to their HMP's

Fuck the system bro, you know I hate them on P's

Didn't see no one, just my ma' on V's

Just us two sat there, a crook and queen

Just a crook and queen
