Hope you understand what I'm getting at:
Flashy tracksuits and tacky bling,
Designer labels adorning everything.
Angry faces
Under worn caps,
Acting on their emotions
Without all the facts.
Blaring sirens
And hurried feet
Your mate got caught
By a bobby on the beat.
Hustled booze
And smuggled drugs,
Just another day
In the local woods.
Banned dogs
And a rusty knife;
Playing with death,
Playing with life.
Another scuffle
In another pub
Dancing wildly
In some random club.
Drugs in the toilets
Girls in your bed
Now this life
Is wrecking your head.
Paranoid people,
Feverish eyes,
You don't believe them,
They're all telling lies.
You've made so much money
But you've messed up the streets,
your mates are in jail,
the dealing elite.
People have died
When you didn't get it right,
The police are coming
It might be tonight.
The sirens are wailing
constantly in your head,
Your new plan is failing
But there's money under the bed.
More and more customers
As the police crack down on crime,
Your rivals are away
And that's bought you a little time.
The money's pouring in now,
You've really hit the jackpot.
Just don't tell your girlfriend
That it's from crack and pot.
Brand new cars
And expensive things,
All of these gifts
That money brings.
The cloud over your head
As you wake up each day
Knowing you're a killer,
That your buyers aren't okay.
Plants slowly dying,
As your convinced that your Dad knows,
If anything, you're sick of lying,
Sick of counting endless woes.
He's called them and they're on their way,
Ready to take you away from here,
You're scared of what's going to happen,
But you don't want to shed another tear.
Your hands are on fire
As the cuffs are undone,
You killed that man's daughter,
That woman's son.
The party life is no more,
They've taken the keys
After locking the door.
You sit all alone
On a dirty old bed,
While all of these ghosts
Mess up your head.
This is the price you pay
For what you have done,
You'll breathe another day,
But for now your soul is gone.
