There was a little guy from the ends of manchester + he thought he was something he werent, growing up with no dad around in a council house with his mum and his girls. Too lazy for work + too bad for school, always asking his mum for money but she's got nothing in her purse + he needs baby chlothes for his little son coming to the earth. Age 16 in his last year of school, had a little rep in the music game used to write quite alot, some say he had more 16's in the last year of school... but he never went down the music path. He was vexed out his whole situation, no school, no money + a kid on the way... he was doing nothing but moving back!
This is the way and the path he chose, now he's travelling on these downward roads, and he wants to turn back but inside he knows that the street life has caught him + wont let go!
(no, noo)He phone a friend with a rep in the drugs game, like 'yo its Jamie, can i loan some drugs dave?' He knew what he was doing was wrong, but he needed money and he couldnt care less what he mum says! So he ticked a bag full of brown and we later came back with a bag full of pounds, seen his money roll back like Asda price thats the life we never got untill we had to be down. Now he's making thousands a weeks, but thats what you get when your down with the G's. In a week he had a bag put down for his kid and before long he was buying brown by the key... but he never kept his shit on the low, people always coming to his crib for a go! Told his mum he was selling CD's, but he was shouting to crack heads who like sniffing the coke. If dealers see like Jay was a hustler, someones on the phone like 'Jay, can I trust ya'? Jay's like 'sure' Daves like 'orite. If you do this I'll make sure noone will touch ya' He wont tell Jay what it was, he just said meet me in a hour Shelton bus stop! He arrived and Dave gave Jay a bag and said 'take it home now... don't stop!'
This is the way and the path he chose, now he's travelling on these downward roads, and he wants to turn back but inside he knows that the street life has caught him + wont let go!
(no, noo)Jamie got home put his hand in the bag found a key of coke and two things that bust ya'. Then he make the worst mistake, picked up the two guns with out no gloves on. Put one in his pants and one in his bag, + got asked by his mum if he would run shop... He werent thinking about the consequences he was doing it for Dave coz' he wants a rep! But anyway he was on his way to the shop, counting money thinking he was on his way to the top then all of a sudden a police man walked up and said 'excuse me, wait... can you stop?' So he did but forgetting he had a heat + a 8th in his sock, got grabbed + searched + slammed in the van+the next thing he was on his way to the lock! Whilst he was in the van on the way the police asked 'Are you the one slanging for Dave?' Jay said 'No comment' The police laughed and said 'Come one, your names been on the scanner for days! Do you wanna' walk free or do you wanna' do 10years with a man in a cage? Just give us the info, you could make it right! Do you wanna be a part of your baby's life?' Jay had a think for a minute + thought whats the worst would happen if he were to snitch on Dave? Dave would go pen, Jay would walk free... so guess what? Jay snitched on Dave! They rushed Jay's gaff + found Daves stash, Jay got let off + Dave got set up... Dave's week got worse + yeah, you guessed it! Jays got better.
This is the way and the path he chose, now he's travelling on these downward roads, and he wants to turn back but inside he knows that the street life has caught him + wont let go!
(no, noo) Dave's behind bars, whilst Jay's at home with his girl + 10grand! But Jay's got connects, 2 gangta's who owes his favours + are willing to end man... Dave told Jay that he wont get away with this, the trick that he played is sick + before he got sent down the last thing he said is 'Jay I aint' gonna' let your baby live!' But Jay's forgotten about that, two months on he's got a job and his kids alive... He's still living at home with his mum + his kid + his wife. But with the money he's got he's gonna rent a flat and buy a crispy ride, but he's too young to drive so he's buying it for his misses to drive! Now he's sat there thinkign ahh, this is the life! The next day he woke up + seen a letter from dave, thats weird... dave said 'he's not assed, its okay + everything safe!' Dave sent Jay a V.O and said 'Come see me on friday, please be there!' Friday came, Jay went to see him and as soon as he left his home, everything changed.
