Skints Live East Die Young
Jade is 15 she lives in a little flat in Ilford with
her mum and two younger brothers, no job, but her mum's
in Primark. She's the prettiest girl in her class by
far, but she's not on that school ting nah, she's got
her head in the clouds, at least, out of the window. So
when the weekend comes, there's a party down at her
girl friend's drum where they play that sound "bede-
bam-bam-bam, bede-bam-bam-bam" And in walks Justin from
Manor Park and he's got money, he's got a car, he
promises the world, and know he's 10 years older...
She was just a young girl, who had too much to drink
with a scumbag who wanted to take advantage. Now
another little yout, with her own little kid, she cries
"it was supposed to be like this!"
Well I'm telling ya that this is not a state of
address, trust, it's merely what I've seen growing up
out in the bits, And I count my self a lucky one, so
count yourself a lucky one in this Babylon system.
(CHORUS) You only get one life, and then you die.
Someone tell me why, it's the same story each time.
Danny is 19, stays at his brother's place in Leyton,
his parents have kicked him out because he wouldn't get
a job, he tells them that "when I was at school, they
treated me like I was a fool" but his Daddy swears
blind his youngest son is just a slob.
And one day, one of Danny's brother's mates, is at
Danny's brother's place, and asks Danny boy if he wants
some road man pay, and Danny boy is as broke as a
f..cking joke, what can he say? And he wants to look The
Don in front of the crew so that they rate him. All
he's got to do is take a package to a rave in Gants
Hill and that's little more than 5 miles out from
Leyton but little does he know, how things are about to
go, the police authority have clocked his whole damn
operation...
He was just a young boy who made a big mistake, now
it's seven years inside for pedalling cocaine. And he
cries himself to sleep, and his mates say "it's a
shame", he goes "it wasn't supposed to be this way"
Well I'm telling ya that this is not a state of
address, trust, it's merely what I've seen growing up
out in the bits, And I count my self a lucky one, so
count yourself a lucky one in this Babylon system.
CHORUS
I count my self a lucky one, so count yourself a lucky
one in this Babylon system.
