Northampton's Child (Explicit)

作詞 : Tyron Frampton/Kwes Darko

Northampton general 1994

Mixed race baby born

Christmas well a week before

Mum's 16, family's poor

Family's all she needs

How they gonna show her door

Babyfather's mum any room at the inn

Military road open doors welcome in

Charlotte's born, mum's 17

Search for Rhys, where's he been?

All alone with two kids

Got a flat from the council

Spring Boroughs the news said that

She's using carrying a pram

Sam wait here I'll get you a juice quick

Three flights and she gotta do two trips

No electric back to

The news's housing association moving

Fam to the Eastern District, Lings

Number 6 near the garages

Fell in love with a ** dealer

Picked us up in a limousine

I remember lights

Like a movie scene

Took mum to dazzling heights

Where she deserves to be

Only queen lays me up and kept me clean

Tell me right even when I wronged

Wiped my arse and changed nappies

Taught me time we made a clock

12 hour shifts all week

Tell me it never stops

12 hour shifts all week

Only queen lays me up and kept me clean

Tell me right even when I wronged

Wiped my arse and changed nappies

Taught me time we made a clock

12 hour shifts all week

Tell me it never stops

12 hour shifts

Loyalty's royalty that ** is priceless

Mum took loans to make her home look nice

Worked to the bone to put food on her side

Clothes on the back and the shoes that we like

Only one there when her brother's on pipe

Only one who cared and dealt with that shite

Stepdad cheating before my brother died

He had no reason the best woman in his life

When my brother was born it was hospital visits

Two g's alike you know muscular dishes

Shower cuddles and kisses

Up to Oxford to get told in two weeks he ain't living

When he died we moved up to a village

It was Hibaldstow Scunthorpe one Christmas

Then it's back to North whats the difference

Stepdad on **s I think that he's lost his mind

Three crates a night,

She pretending now someone's dying

I know we're all angry too

What's mum done to you

You're lucky I'm not as big as you

I'll punch you til my hands turn blue

Kicked us out now we living at Tasha's

In her living room

Funny how good vibes turn the room to a palace

Dreams come true

Mum told us, kids

Just imagine do anything

As long as you do it with passion

Have everything no way I can pay you back

I just hope I can make you proud

I'm sorry for the times I was bad

Acting like a spoilt child

You're the strongest person I know

Made us happy even when you felt down

Always other people first

But I'm thinking for you right now

Only queen

Raised me up and kept me clean

Told me right even when I'm wrong
