Shiro’s Story

[Chorus: Rapman]
You already know how it goes on the road
People always change when they start making dough
You already know how it goes on the road
People always change when they start making dough

[Verse 1: Rapman,Shiro (Rapman)]
Ayo Shiro was a money man but he wasn't loud though
100k cash but he kept it on the down low
Only his girl and his best friend, Kyle, know
Kyle got it too and that was all thanks to Shiro
Shiro was a normal guy, he just worked a 9 to 5
Worked in Sainsbury's and never thought that it would change his life
The most he expected was a supervisor pay rise so he made sure that his service skills were way high
Always was polite, always had a smile, always made it clear that he would go the extra mile
One regular that he'd been serving for a while called him over one day and said "I really like your style"
He was from Columbia, yeah he was a hustler, cocaine cartel, seller not a customer
Long story short, that man there was the plug and it didn't take long before he started taking drug
And no he ain't talking bout no typical loco, this was a hundred straight pure it was no joke
Shiro came up man his money getting low, didn't keep it too himself Nah he put his way up
Shiro was low key, couldn't tell he had P
Kyle was the opposite, arrogant and flashy
Shiro know that stunting only brings out the wolves and that's a day to his family that he can't afford
Kiera was his wife way before he got money up
The day that he met her was the day that he fell in love and they had a kid, a little girl named Kyla, daddy's princess, he covered her in designer
Anything she needs or she wants he will buy her
His kid and his wife, that's the reason he grinds for
Now he's decided that he wants to leave the game
Had a good run man now he done with the cane
Take his wife, take his kid and move them straight outta London
Start a business and start to legally function
Kiera, she was happy that was all that she wanted
Kyle, he was pissed and said that he tried to stop shit
Shiro let him know that he had to let it go, gonna quit while he's ahead before they take him off the row
Told him that his family's gotta come first
But you're my brother I would never leave you in the lurch
I had a meeting and it's already arranged
I told him when I'm that you'll be picking up the cane
They asked me am I sure, I said "No doubt in my brain, trust him with anything, me and him are like the same"
You're my brother
Kyle couldn't believe, he gave him the plug
He was so happy, gave Shiro a hug
Yeah, he was gassed but deep down he was bummed cuz he's gonna miss his boy that he grew with and he loved

[Verse 2: Rapman, Shiro (Rapman)]
Few months down the line, it was Shiro's last night
Him, his girl and his kid in the morning catch a flight
They're moving away so they could start a new life, plus he's proposed so she's gonna be his wife
He was in the club celebrating, a farewell party, a toast to his engagement
King Kyle, the mandem, everyone he kept close, bottles popping everywhere Shiro paid for all of those
He told them "Drink up, no stress, have a good time"
He just wants to see them all happy on his last night
Everybody's wave, everybody's nice
His phone starts to ring and it was Keira on the line
It was noisy in the club so he took it outside
When he picked up the phone, straight grieved on the line ("Yo babe")

[Verse 3: Robber (Rapman), Shiro (Rapman), Keira (Rapman), Rapman, Kyle (Rapman)]
"Yo money man, I'm in your house with your wife and kids"
"Who's this?!"
"No low imma make this quick. Look, I just want the code to the safe, gimme that and they'll both be safe"
"Fam, are you in my house. Who the fuck are you?!"
"Rude boy, that ain't the code to the safe, don't make me have to shoot your girl in the face"
"Shiro please, just give him the code, Kyla's scared and I just want him to go" ("Fuck!")
"In that safe, that's all the money I've made. If I let him take that I'll have nothing to my name"
"At least you'll have us"
"Yeah you're right. Give him the phone, it's gon be alright"
"Shiro please, just give him the code and as soon as you can hurry up and get home"
"Oi money man, so tell me the code"
"Swear after that man you better let em go. It's all our birthdays, 23 of the 8 0 8"
"Scuse me while I clear out your safe"
While rushing home, Shiro calls Kyle ("Ay where you going")
"There's a man in my house with my wife and my child"
"What the fuck are you mad? I'm coming there now and wait for me to come before you run inside the house"
Shiro gets home, and no he couldn't wait
He ran inside the house to make sure that they were safe
The house was all dark, he turned on the light
He couldn't hear a sound, there was nobody in sight
He ran up the stairs what the fuck is going on?
Keira and his daughter and their stuff is all gone
Safe is all empty, baffled and confused
Why would man take them and their clothes and their shoes?
He's calling Keira but she ain't picking up, he's about to call the police cuz he's running out of luck
But then he sees a letter on the floor he picks it up (But then he sees a letter on the floor he picks it up)

[Verse 4: Keira (Rapman)]
Dear Shiro, my love I'm sorry
I know right now you must feel so confused
No there wasn't really a robbery
I staged that to get the code from you
I took your money and I took Kyla
And you're never gonna see us again
I didn't do it just to hurt you
But there's someone else and I wanna be with him
I know you're thinking 'How could I take your daughter?'
But the truth is she's not even yours
I cheated all of them years back
And he's the reason that I'm doing this for
He said if I take your money
Then we could all be together
Just me, him and Kyla
Start a life and run away together
But Kyla, she won't stop crying
But one day I'll make her understand
I actually named her after her father
Your friend, Kyle, that's her real dad
Now we're gonna be with him
Goodbye
