White Widow

Lyrics

sixteen
with the weight of the world lodged behind our eyes
witnessed way too much before our time
saw shit no kid should ever recognise
did shit no kid should ever exercise

pressure and sirens led
us close to early ends
kids too young to carry
what our parents left us in

they got us high then got us drunk
really didnt care where we was
toking the cheapest smoke that could fill our lungs
plugging the cheapest dealers to pill our tongues

Mum drank through the night and day
Dad vanished into drifts
left to learn love as a “you guys alright” from whoever had a spliff
fuck, hope was the last bus, and we kept on missing it

white in the bottle
white in the bag
will there be white on the ward
when they fasten my tag

you cant call it choice
when just living was priced
for kids without a quid
and nowhere safe for the night

they gave us white lightning
they gave us white widow
they gave us white powder
they wondered why we
burnt out little by little

burnt out little by little

they gave us white lightning
they gave us white widow
they gave us white powder
they made sure we
burnt out little by little

you know what, Im sick of making this shit artistic
I aint holding it in no more, fuck it, Im blasting this bitch

fuck you

you all called us feral while you give us what made us sick
how do you fail at your parental shit then blamed how your babies lived
maybe neglects hereditry but we were the ones breaking it
making it so every promise aint some fake arse counterfeit
howd you judged how we survived inside the wreckage that you placed us in
while we were sixteen on the streets with a carry cot
bin bags and a fucking shaking kid
midnight with no address, just lost on the pavement shit
you fucking promised us some kind of safety net
then fucking severed it when we really needed to bail in it
fuck you drunk in the hallway while I warmed my babys bottle up
2AM in the morning you walked in with a plan of causing our falling any way you fucking could
her food offended you somehow and apparently I made you hostile
so you made two kids with a kid homeless, and left us to the hostles
then slept like it was me that was awful

dickhead

you ever been a teen and sent to fill out forms at the council desks
no
where every moment feels like youll lose your kid based on your answer to the question that comes next
no
how about sitting there watching them call every member of your family to help, and not a single one says yes
no
thought not
bet you couldnt place a pin on one building where your granddaughter slept
thats cos you never went to check, never brought nappies, milk or bread

Id be willing to place a bet that you couldnt fucking point to any of her postcodes with a gun to your head

fuck off you fucking tit

they gave us white lightning
they gave us white widow
they gave us white powder

they gave us white lightning
they gave us white widow
they gave us white powder

they gave us white lightning
they gave us white widow
they gave us white powder

they did everything in their power to make sure we
burnt out little by little
