[00:30.114]Yo, I was just a kid, I was barely sixteen
[00:33.309]Couldn't tell a man what this shit means
[00:35.982]To shoot a man on a f**king split-screen
[00:38.416]Take a life that was kinda pristine
[00:41.331]Uh, I wasn't listening to Christine
[00:43.996]And the Queens, I was listening to fifteen
[00:46.653]Young men like me kick a sixteen
[00:49.062]Full of pain in a city, let the shit stream
[00:51.482]Deep in the consciousness, down south
[00:53.872]Where the monsters live, abandoned houses and consequence
[00:57.061]Yeah, heart breaks, it was common sense
[00:59.201]Don't sit on that shit , man, we jumped the fence
[01:02.137]Uh, 'cause certain areas are tense
[01:04.246]Yeah, that's why I'm never at events
[01:06.954]Uh, 'cause I was tryna make pence
[01:09.364]Doesn't make bread, doesn't make sense
[01:11.782]Mama, I lost a friend
[01:14.973](Ayo, it doesn't make sense)
[01:17.560](I lost a friend)
[01:17.628]Mama, I lost again
[01:21.813]Yo, it's the L, won't you pull it?
[01:23.679]The destination of the bullet, the man living life to the fullest
[01:27.415]Can't lie, yo, at times, was the purest
[01:29.813]But now you're in another city like a tourist
[01:32.478]The prayers can't cure this, deep rain, hop in the ride
[01:35.133]I closed the door, told the cabbie to drive, uh
[01:37.532]Late at night, see the mother that cried
[01:39.661]The bullet whizzed past my face, saw her son as he died
[01:42.060]My eyes wide, yeah
[01:45.508]Ah, shaking up my belly from inside
[01:47.900]Ah, I shoulda stayed, shoulda lied
[01:50.297]Yeah, I shoulda prayed, shoulda tried
[01:52.690]Trust, but like his mother, I cried
[01:55.085]When they took the boy's life 'cause he's from the wrong side
[01:58.000]Shit, I know I should have thought twice
[02:00.664]Ah, washing off the blood from my Nikes
[02:02.819]Mama, I lost a friend
[02:07.123](I lost a friend)
[02:08.183]Mama, I lost again
[02:11.643](I lost again)
[02:12.720]Ah, and so I grew up, scared of the night bus
[02:16.163]Scared of the boys that look like us, ah
[02:19.128]No wonder why they want to fight us
[02:20.981]They think the same, give a second and we might buss
[02:23.667]Squeeze, bust caps, spray, say it's a wrap
[02:26.064]I wish I'd given him a hug and a dap
[02:28.729]Wish he could have felt my son on his lap
[02:30.849]And seen life's for the living, to be done with the trap
[02:33.241]But it's a fact, live for today, f**k tomorrow
[02:35.923]No tomorrow if your life's feeling borrowed
[02:38.568]He needs the money right now, f**k the sorrow
[02:41.239]Spend it right now, right now feeling hollow
[02:43.651]Then save it for a rainy day, if every day's grey
[02:46.315]And tomorrow might never come his way
[02:48.958]Ah, just another man went astray
[02:51.651]The hate, tell him get from out my way
[02:54.330]The impact of knife crime on individuals is undeniable
[02:58.874]And while politicians wish to police their way out of the knife crime epidemic
[03:03.403]It is simply not possible
[03:06.071]We must focus on the root causes of knife crime
[03:10.057]Poverty, inequality, austerity, and a lack of opportunity
[03:15.649]We must petition the government to put reason over rhetoric
[03:20.440]Compassion over indifference, equality over austerity
[03:24.713]As knife crime claims more lives within our country
[03:28.722]Never has so much been lost by so many
[03:33.262]Because of the indecision of so few
