SOUTH LDN LOVER GIRL

Original

G-A

Ayy

I, I know you've been having your days

And I, I know that you want him to stay

And I, I know things ain't going your way

But no, don't go astray

No, no, don't go astray (Ayy)

Uh, there was a girl called Ree, she was just like me

Loved the finer things in life, LV, GG

On the hustle, she would do what was necessary

Make sure she get to the bag and she got to the P

There was a guy called Mike, he was just her type

Bad man, getting money, he do everything right

Thought it would be positive when he entered her life

All it took was one night

See, he was on the roads, so he had a strap

And me who really yo, scar protect him like that

Feds been on him, couldn't keep it at his flat

So he asked if she had a place she could put it at

They already had a baby, gave her a couple stats

Been paying for her life, so she thought to give back

Wanted to travel with it, so she met him at the trap

Never thought she'd take a detour on the way back

She got a call from her best friend

Like, "Yo, babe, can you meet me in the West End?

I know Mike already gave you some money to spend

Meet me now and we'll be done about around ten"

"Aight, come then"

But she couldn't pretend, she weren't feeling herself

Needed a break 'cause her mind was really somewhere else

Maybe it was postpartum, but she needed help

Where we're from, who really checking on their mental health?

Shopping done, she took a cab on her way back

Left the house with one, now she got ten bags

But when she gets to the crib, she only got eight

Shit, where the other two bags at?

Didn't wanna panic, didn't know how to react

She left the bag with the strap in the cab

Tried to call the driver, he already called Jake

She got nicked for the pole before he even made it back

I, I know you've been having your days

And I, I know that you want him to stay

And I, I know things ain't going your way

But no, don't go astray

No, no, don't go astray (Yeah)

Uh, there was a girl called Pam, it was her and her man

Them two against the world and she ain't give a damn

Was known for moving that work, he was selling them grams

Had some issues with the law in and out of the can

See, his name was Jack, he never had it like that

He was used to pissy flats and the night with them cats

In the slum, Pecknigs, he always where he was at

That was his habitat

He would smoke a lot of weed, but truth is he was probably in need

Someone to take heed, maybe some therapy

Don't know why it's taboo when we struggle mentally

Like we crying for help, but this ain't telepathy

That's how it be for Black men

Feeling all alone like nobody can back them

Can't be both, he can't face a problem with you

When Black men are most prone to having mental health issues

See, Pam was on her shit, she had her own bit

But she was staying at her nan's while her crib got repaired

So Jack was with her too, she thought it was fair

'Cause every time she's home, he was always there

She thought they'll both be safe in her nan's care

But Jack was on the verge, she wasn't aware

Pam's nan would lock the doors when they're inside

'Cause the area they lived in weren't a vibe

Jack felt like a hostage, thought they would be inside

Saw the size, nobody ain't making it out alive

He went inside the kitchen to grab a knife

Looking Pam in the eye, she knew something weren't right

He killed her, her mum, the nan, the dad

Weed-induced psychosis, he's going mad

The squad had seen a bloodbath when he got grabbed

Neighbours said they heard the screams when they got stabbed

I, I know you've been having your days

And I, I know that you want him to stay

And I, I know things ain't going your way

But no, don't go astray

No, no, don't go astray

I, I know you've been having your days

And I, I know that you want him to stay

And I, I know things ain't going your way

But no, don't go astray

No, no, don't go astray

Love takes getting used to

If she were you, what would you do?

If she were you, what would you do?

What would you do?

Love takes getting used to

If she were you, what would you do?

If she were you, what would you do?

What would you do?

We don't want migrants in this town

Don't want migrants in this town

Europe, Asian, Black or brown

Europe, Asian, Black or brown

Find somewhere else you should go

Find somewhere else you should go

United Kingdom, that's a no

United Kingdom, that's a no

I've lived in Australia for thirteen years now (Right)

And what I've seen, the differences between Australia and England

Well, I don't want to say it, but we

Don't let them in over here, you know?

We stop the boat-boat-boat-boat-boat-boat...
