Mike's Story

(álbum: Nine - 2021)

Um, it was late at night and I woke up
And I could hear my mum crying
I could hear my mum flipping, screaming
I remember my room being darker than it's ever been before
I've come into the hallway
And like, the hallway just, just felt like it was shrinking
And I saw, I saw the police officer standing there
My mum was just crying and I looked to my mum's face
I remember I started crying 'cuh my mum was crying
'Cause I could feel her pain
I didn't know what was going on, but I could feel her pain
And that's the day we found out that my dad was murdered, murdered in Dalston
I'll never forget walking through the flats, bro
Getting in that, flipping, um, the back of the police van
I'll never forget the back of that police van
I don't know why I hold on to that memory
But I'll never forget being in the back of that police van
I just felt numb, bro
