Either shots in him or his next of kin (Blud)
If a man's not dead then he's locked up in a bin

Newham
Where a man a murder man they went to school with
As if like he never knew him (Facts)
Both went bons that there ain't no bun
I try to school these kids but they all play tricks
You little n***as don't know anything about boxing
Apart from pay per viewing
What are you on the pavement doing?
Man don't rate no acid attacks
Then again thats how granddad felt
When man was out here with a shank in my hand
Fisticuffs that's granddads world
What do you expect from me?
My life expectancy was 20
Mum wanna send me West Indies
Before it is Rest-In-Peace
(Uh-uhhhh....)

Come around to the ends and fuck around if you want to risk it
