Lyrics Intro - K Koke , Lefty

Once upon a crime, far, far away
Was a dark, mysterious place believed
To have been built upon a graveyard
The notorious Stonebridge Estate
Which consisted of over fifteen high rise blocks
That towered over the skies of North West London
Was a predominantly Afro-Caribbean population
From the influx of the Windrush many years ago
Stonebridge was riddled with poverty
Notorious for its underground world of
Murders, drugs, guns, and yardie gangs
Where crack fiends took refuge on the pissy
Stairways and hallways of abandoned blocks
Stonebridge was swamped with murders
And unsolved gun crime went hidden in the shadows of each block
Police struggled to break down the wall of silence
In this breeding ground for gangs and violence
Stonebridge was truly a concrete jungle
Where only the strong survive

Wait there, wait there!
Rafe, come on, please!
Rafe, come on!
Get in! Get in!
Wait, wait, wait!
I said get in, you nosy cow!
Get in
Are you alright? Are you alright?
I don't wanna be out here!
Wait, wait, wait, we'll be there in a minute!
Get me in there, quick!
Relax
Rafe!
Don't worry, we're there, we're there, we're there
We're there, we're there, man, we're there!
Hold it!
Please!
Hold it!
I said hold it!

May 22nd, a bastard was born
From a stolen car straight into the hospital ward
No father, no answers, nobody at all
Just my heartbroken mother trying to cuddle me warm
I felt heartache and struggle from the moment I spawned
Missing pieces to the puzzle from the moment I crawled
Then God blessed me with a brother that I love to the core
It's just me, him, and mummy living life in the norm
Amongst thieves, fiends, and hustlers, you adjust for the cause
It's survival of the fittest, ain't no love for the poor
In this mini crack city, ain't no love for the law
Just bare gangs active outside of my door
So I'm outside with the four, chasing pound signs, shotting raw
Trying to find a silver lining living inside of this horror
And every time I try to rise, it's like they try to pull me under
Fighting to survive, living life up in my borough
