lirik lagu briggs – vicious cycle
[verse 1: briggs]
kids having kids, 16 with one in on her hip
and the baby daddy say it ain’t his
he won’t buy shit – the only bottle he gets is his
he’s in and out she’s crying, no time for this
spitting image was with her at the beginning
but he ain’t thinking between the drinking and sinning
and he smack if she don’t listen, smack her if she ain’t with him
“she’s on smack anyway!” – but the pain is different
shes looking for the next score next door
with the spike in her arm, she’s p-ssed out on the floor
and now that baby can crawl, pretty soon he’s gon’ walk
and pretty soon he gon’ talk and get him self up outta there
her parents don’t want nothing to do with her
her man left and he reckons he’s through with her
and the drugs are all but consuming her
welfare still pursuing her
cause she’s sucking jesus juice until the foetus is due
another baby, another daddy, and she don’t know who
and she’s back from the clinic and she’s got that news
she’s got that germ, she’ll be leaving soon
[chorus: dylan smith]
now i don’t know much, but i know you should listen
this cycle is vicious, let me give you some wisdom
if ya not looking after ya children, tell me who is then?
cause they’re gonna grow up, they’ll wanna know what
where you were and why – if you like it or not
(if you like it or not)
[verse 2: briggs]
he started out on petty crime
now he’s sneaking in the window with a fishing knife
no rest in his wicked life, he’s out for the second time
and by the looks of things, pretty soon he’ll be going back in
you see his dad wasn’t there, his mum was, but wasn’t
he had nothing, so his friends became his cousins
looking for that loving that he never got – so f-ck ’em
a cold little brother, wouldn’t hesitate to gut ’em
got a girl on the side, and she’s a junkie alright
but she’s got a roof and a bed and he can spend the night
but she’s on the spike, he can’t stand the sight
but she’s not his problem, so he stands aside
but she’s went and had a baby and she’s saying it’s his
but he’s saying shes a slut – “that could be anyones kid.”
“she was f-cking anyone just to get that fix
and there ain’t no way i’m getting caught up in this.”
so he split, he bounce, said “f-ck it i’m out”
she got up in his face – she got a smack in the mouth
and he’s leaving her now, he’s getting out of that house
but as he’s slamming that door he’s leaving more than a town
[chorus: dylan smith]
[verse 3: briggs]
his dad didn’t want him, mum didn’t know how to love him;
all he knew of her was her coffin
and his dad was a crim, that’s all he knew about him
fending for himself; he had to grow up quick
so he did. and now he’s slick with his hands
he’s in the shop thieving
he get whatever he can down the front of his pants
yeah, he’s getting better at this
he’s still only a kid, sucking back on a vic
he’s been picked up more than a few times
racked up offences – soon he gon’ do time
he’s banned from most the shops
cops say he’s just like his pops;
they knew him better than him
so they’re probably not wrong
cursing his dad, “i’ll never be like that
i’d never up and go and just leave my lad
was it mum’s fault?, or something wrong with me?
or he just didn’t feel the need to feed his seed?
i’m 16. wonder if he’s thinking of me?”
with a tear in his eye; he ain’t as tough as he seems
but it’s just like this movie, he’s stuck in a scene
he sees no way out, he’s got nowhere to be
he’s got nothing to loose, he’s got himself to blame
and he likes your shoes and he’s half your age
and he’s a little motherf-cker – you just palm him off
but he’s stuck it in your chest and your heart it stops
[chorus: dylan smith]
