In The End Lyrics

[LSK]

 My baby was born in a bed 

 With white sheets, machines and heat

 Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps

 Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV, 

 Talks, starts to walk, amongst love and security.

 Goes to school, learns to read and write

 Probably follows a team with his friends 

 And gets to ride the train, 

 Fall in love, probably fly on a plane

 Get to work all week and spend what he earns 

 On the high street

 He's got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches, 

 Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses

 Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard

 Locks and alarms, trinkets and charms,

 Maybe a baby in his arms

 

 [Maxi Jazz]

 My baby was born on his knees

 One of poverty 's offspring 

 Came into the world coughing, 

 Already full of mother's disease 

 Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash,

 Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash, 

 Mama can't get no sleep,

 Baby never quite get enough to eat. 

 Goes to school, learns to steal and fight, 

 Probably form a team with his friends, 

 Go steam those trains

 Fall in love and never trust nobody again

 Gets to work all week standing on the high street for Joe, Hustling blow, hustling blow.
