[Verse 1 - Chester P]

I can't sleep my little brother screams all night

My mum don't care 'cause she's hugging the pipe

My old man's doing life old dear's doing crack

One day I'll start running and never look back

Until then I'm eating on street and that's that

I'll snatch phones and get myself drunk and have flashbacks

Only fourteen and I'm sticking up big men

Strike more times in a day than Big Ben

In West End lashing the tourists for a quick spend

Boydem brang my procedure to a swift end

Handcuffed back of a Sherpa then a police cell

Mum came then they released mе on sergeants bail

Mum screaming I told hеr she's a crackhead

I'm free now and I don't give a fuck what happens

The next day mum dragged me off to see old man

In jailhouse I couldn't deal with it I just broke down

I burst out screaming

"Mum you're all cracked out

Dad you're locked up and the house is a crack house

You don't buy food mum, dad you don't write

Of course I do crime, that's how I gotta eat

Both of you were told the lie about the promise to be free

I was born into chains I follow the chief

I ain't even fifteen and I'm just like you

I act how you act and I do what you do."

[Chorus]

Is it the promise that we can be free

That makes it so hard for you and me?

We tend to be sheep and follow the chief

And drown in the dark depths of the streets

Is it the promise that we can be free

That makes it so hard for you and me?

We tend to be sheep and follow the chief

And drown in the dark depths of the streets

[Verse 2 - Farma G]

They call me Freaky Green merge into street scenes

Unseen the ghost in the machine

No where I go feels like home all alone on the night train

Smoking a bone to get me high again

I came from kids care, I had a broken home

And no one listened or cared I never had a hope

That's why I'm here up on this train looking worn out

I worked my fingers to the bone before I fall out

And coming down is a blackhole I call out

But no one hears drowning in tears fight with pure fear

Running from self until I disappear

I hit my station slide off into a never ending nightmare

The can of smoke appears and steers my every move

I bit the pain of a loser in this drug abuse

I'm let loose around dark demonic's

And this evil is eating me up but lets me live on it

And I'm barely living I could see my friends cared

But I stole from their houses when they wasn't there

And what the fuck I hate myself but I need drugs

I hug the pipe at night time it shows me real love

Not fucking anybody, 'cause they be fucking me

And every penny I mash is spent on crack dreams

And it takes me there far away from any place

Where I'm numb from the pains of my yesterdays

And life's a bad habit, I use drugs to escape

'Cause when I'm laced I break the hate down to pure space

And when the cracks appear

I'll be there with that coke can jamming the pipe until sundown

[Chorus]

Is it the promise that we can be free

That makes it so hard for you and me?

We tend to be sheep and follow the chief

And drown in the dark depths of the streets

Is it the promise that we can be free

That makes it so hard for you and me?

We tend to be sheep and follow the chief

And drown in the dark depths of the streets
