Tekst piosenki 'Snippet Of My Life' wykonawcy K Koke

This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story

This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story

Me and my little brother growing up
Mummy shot food to put clothes on us
Times was rough and mummy had enough
So mummy cried most nights because our life was fucked
My mummy lost her mum from young, now she cries
Every time her birthday comes
Me and my brother used to go and give her birthday hugs
And wipe the tears from her eyes like, "mummy, don’t cry"

"Mummy we’re fine, we're gonna be alright"
She said, “sons we do what we have to to survive, in the slums”
My mummy used to package out the white, to get us
A name brand jacket and some nikes
To put food in the fridge and get the things that we liked
But it seems every day’s a struggle and a fight
No help, we only got each-other in this life
Struggling to hustle, struggle to get by

This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story
This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story

My life's been painful from the fucking start
Growing up poor, on my estate, life is fucking hard
Mummy tried her best to stop us selling hard
But benefits can’t put food in our fucking yard
After bills, we got a score for the week
How the fuck we gonna eat, with 3 mouths to feed?
What a cheek, at 15, we were shotting draws
16, 17, We were shotting raw

Haters got feds kicking off my door
But mummy heard them come and hid my food before they saw
The next time they raided, they beat me to the floor
The time after that, the council wouldn’t fix our door
We had to barricade ourselves in, paranoid, staring
Through the peep hole, anytime we hear things
Mummy still cries, still wishing it was better
And shortly after that, eviction written in a letter

This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story
This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story

My brother had a daughter, I’ve got one on the way
They tryna kick us out and we’ve got nowhere else to stay
Plus we got caught up, the man they let it spray
Me and my brother, both standing by the gate
They rinsed 9, my brother caught a stray
The pain in my eyes, the day that I changed
Nothing in this life could ever change my mind frame
I’m so far gone, I feel like I’m insane. In the hospital

Mummy's going crazy, shes going nuts
Screaming, “let me see my baby!”
If my brother died, they would’ve had to take me
On my mother’s life, someone's gonna to pay, g
Para’ as fuck, got’s to look over my shoulder
Not knowing who did it, made it so much colder
I’m praying for my spirit because my hearts got no love
Early teens, I had the mind of a grown up

This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story
This is just a snippet of my life story
This is what was written in my life for me
Nothing but pain and the strife
Feel this pain in my life
I see nothing but a ghetto story
