Lyrics
There's a thousand words you can see in a picture
And sometimes God really speaks in a whisper
Lemme paint this image and make it vivid
This ones really a mix up
I was in Watford Junction going down Euston
Then up to Kings Cross
I'm on the Southbound platform and I see a yout that looks about I dunno
Was he 16 or 17?
"Bro what you telling me?" He asked me with a shallow confidence
But I knew that he wernt tryna mess with me
But you see in this day and age having your wits about you is pure necessity
He said broski I rate your music it's different sound with a different energy
It's makes me feel lighter cos my whole life's been heavy
For that statement I wasn't ready and besides why does he comfortable to tell me all this already
But a voice inside me told me wait
A gut feeling that there was more at steak
Maybe because I'm a youth mentor
He subconsciously feels safe
His smile escaped him as he looked into space
And he talked at a faster pace now it's coming to half past 8 he proceeds to talk on his darkest day
He said that he's over his head lives in a hood in East it's ironic
Moves little of food on the side cos he's hungry
And has dreams that he'll be iconic one day
Aspiration
To be a top personal trainer
But thinks the streets will try stop it
Cos Ever since they held that piece to this chest he can't seem to find solace
Cos ever since they held that piece to his chest
Peace was robbed from him
He kept fiddling with a suitcase that had seen better days
He said his families moving to herfordshire cos they wanna see better days
I said bro arent you moving with them?
He said corse but mums at her wits end
She left last night only reason I stayed back Is to say bye to my good friends
My mum says that they aren't good friends
Recently one of them got bagged likkle dark chapter but it's not how the book ends
Free him though
I was taken back by the detailed info faam
Bros telling me his life story
Im talking to God like what is your plan
I don't know this yout from Adam
I ain't really got no in to correct him
But im like Lord protect him?
I'm now grappling with the fact that it's quarter to 9 man I'm really wrestling
But I feel like there's something to do
It's peak for this yout I don't know why I feel this way
But I feel there's a mountain to move
My next train leaves in 5
And the train after is in 45
When I glanced at my phone he saw the time
Before he travels to Hertfordshire to do up a brand new life
That there's a motive that's starts at 9 tonight and he's gonna go catch vibe
His guy said that the same people that held that knife to his chest are are around them sides
But he don't wanna duck and dive and besides he's leaving the ends tonight
So why not end on a high?
With a vacant steer in his eye he said that he hopes that him and his guy
Bump into the guys that left him frozen before
It was then that i clocked that it wasnt bout catching a vibe but he had a chosen a war
The war had started from when they held that knife to him on a mental one
In a mental war with his thoughts
His goal was get some justice now
And in some way that would even the scores
Ahh man is this just how it goes?
Its revenge so he wont feel the remorse?
I looked in his eyes and knew it was that
But could sense that he felt he was going off course
He then he let go of his suitcase
And asked me if I think he should go
Shoulders hunched pain on show
Yo do i think he should go?
When his pride was damaged and crown got smashed
You might say how could you blame the king?
But thats a muddy perspective
I saw clearly I must give him light
Cos darkness has filled up his mind
Lost sight that his future is bright
He needs voices from the outside
I told him "youve got something to lose"
I told him "bro you're risking your life and I understand that your ego's bruised"
I told him "those guys there wont flinch
If you give them an inch you'll be on the news or they'll be on the news
I told him lifes gonna throw you things
Crazy challenges you're gonna know what hopeless is
I told him right now you're at a crossroads
That lane there can end in a blink
Broski do you wanna take that risk???
I told him violent words and violent speech can result in sentences
I told him "think of your mum and your sister"
Your heads hot now but bro just think
I told him remember your grandmas prayers
She prayed for you through the thick and the thin
I told him pls don't listen to lies
I told him pls don't give in to strife
Lets get straight to the point if they've got knives there's a real chance there can be the loss of a life
But you asked me a question so I'm gonna tell you whats on my mind
Nothing just happens so what are the chances of you tryna ask me for some advice?
And the fact that youre asking me this question tells me that you are in two minds
Why open the door to a world of war when youre on course to a brand new life?
Why open the door to a world of war when youre on course to a brand new life?
He said "thank you bro cos i think i needed to hear that"
Then he got off the train
And the train starts edging away
I can see him on the phone
Bare waving hands but i couldnt make out what he's saying
No I couldnt make out what hes saying
I hope what i said would stick
I hope that my words would echo within
Im just really out here tryna shine and grow
I was on my lunchbreak when I glanced at my phone
Saw sumink online that was sharp to my soul
5 yutes got into a dispute after a house party in north london
Reports said there was a loud noise at the function
They dont know if hes 16 or 17 well thats allegedly
And they found a knife in a suitcase
And its thought they were friends turned enemies
The suspect is rumoured to have been scene in Hertfordshire near Welham Green
The victim is now in critical fighting to not end up in the cemetry
