[Verse]
(Yeah, yo)
Small flat, single bed, baby sleeping by her side
Make up messed up and dried, 'cause every single night she cries
And even though she's got two reservoirs behind her eyes
She smiles in the morning when she sees her little man alive
Boyfriend left but she's doing well without him
Two years passed and she stopped thinking 'bout him
Now, what kind of man is that?
Leave his own flesh and bones alone in an abandoned flat
Morning means breakfast and nappies to change
Drop her kid off early 'cause she's going back for her grades
Used to have dreams of acting on stage
But now she just chills and lets the lavender blaze
And how the manuscripts changed in such a short space of time
Last time she saw her pa was in the court facing nine
And it gets me thinking
Without shilling, we're sinking, what is this hell we live in?
Last time I saw my pal he had his elder with him
He said "be thankful of life, we own a debt to women"
Some of my peeps like to sit and learn in lecture buildings
Others are stretched in prison, obsessed with sinning
Trying to live in this savage nation
So I just spit this incantation
What you hear is no fabrication
ELF, yes, this is my incantation
[Outro]
Well, I believe that everyone, no matter their race, creed or colour, should get a piece of the action
