Life So Deep - Loski, Emeli Sandé

Yo, yo, yo, look

Life’s so deep

A lot of mums cry over deaths in these streets

But when will it end?

I don’t think it ever will

Gang signs turn to prayer hands for appeal

I swear it’s so real

Let me tell you about Kane

Real hot stepper and everyone knew his name

Riding with a passion, not in it for no fame

The good die young, so God called his name

This shit’s gotta change

Now the whole hood hurts

They’re plotting on the ones that put Kane in his hearse

Shottys .32s and .44s got burst

No luck today, tomorrow it’s gotta work

But feds got the word

So now thy on

They heard that Zak and Trey is riding tomorrow

Two wraps up, ain’t non of their tings borrowed

Trey said, «Ayy, Zak these opps are getting hollows»

Feds came (Oh oh)

That’s another L

Caught with two waps, that’s two tickets to jail

The van is on its way to

One month later Zak gets given bail

I wondered did he tell

Trey phones the mandem

Let’s the brother know that Zak turned to a snitch

I heard he got bail in, he’s with his sis

Trey told Benny do research on the crib

And turn it off quick

And Benny’s on the come up

If he does it right, no longer he’ll be a runner

But if he moves wrong, the brothers have him for supper

It’s way too late to turn back or run off, so Zak’s getting bun up (Da-da,

da-da-da)

Life’s so deep

A lot of mums cry over deaths in these streets

But when will it end?

I don’t think it ever will

Gang signs turn to prayer hands for appeal

I swear it’s so real

Life’s so deep

A lot of mums cry over deaths in these streets

But when will it end?

I don’t think it ever will

Gang signs turn to prayer hands for appeal

I swear it’s so real

Just pray

Just pray

It don’t take a lot to say

Just pray (Pray)

It don’t take a lot to say

Just pray

Three weeks, Benny calls Trey

And said he’s got a cousin in Brum that knows Paige

Paige is Zak’s sister, Erdington is where they stay

Trey said, «Tomorrow night burn up the whole place»

So next day Benny’s on the M-way

He’s with his right hand and Tdot was his name

Spinner in the bag, they’re ready to go cray

They linked up with Cuzzy by 1AM no games

Third floor and the door’s twenty-two

Cuzzy’s 'round the back in the ready to zoom

Tdot knocked the door and Paige don’t have a clue

She opened up the door and Benny went boom-boom

Then they ran in, masks on their face

Zak said, «Please» but he knows that it’s too late

Tdot clocked on that Benny’s starting to shake

He grabbed the mash quick and put Zak in a grave

Yo, they rang to the and they’re gone

Cuzzy said, «Don't tell a soul what went on

And furthermore, don’t even tell me

'Cause snitches gotta die, look what happened to your G»

A couple days in and Trey got the word

But he ain’t taking trial 'cause he knows he’ll get a bird

He’s going guilty, so they’ll take off a third

Right now, Tdot and Benny’s running the curb

Benny told the mandem, «Don't forget the aim

One of these opps gotta die for bro Kane

I heard that they’re shooting a vid on Saturday

So me and Tdot go slide and let it rain»

Saturday came and Benny’s on the wheel

He’s got Tdot in the passy, man, they ain’t playing for none

Hit the opp block, took a right, took a left

Saw ten opps dancing around, they having fun

Tdot hopped out he’s slapping, they all run

One got hit and dropped ah he’s done

Tdot got close, hit his chest and his throat

Turnt the boy to a ghost, he was left with the slugs

Jumped back in the, they both ran out of luck

Four X5s with gunned jakes, oh fuck

Tried to get away but they wrapped it on the mans

Now there’s six mums crying cah all of them lost their sons

Life’s so deep

A lot of mums cry over deaths in these streets

But when will it end?

I don’t think it ever will

Gang signs turn to prayer hands for appeal

I swear it’s so real

Life’s so deep

A lot of mums cry over deaths in these streets

But when will it end?

I don’t think it ever will

Gang signs turn to prayer hands for appeal

I swear it’s so real

When will this end?

Please, someone, help me understand

When will this end?

(When will this end?)

When did my boy become a man?

(When did my boy become a man?)

When will this end?

(When will this end?)

When did my boy become a man?

(Will this end? No, oh)

When will this end?
