Splinta - Storyteller lyrics

Let me tell you all a story bout this kid He used to wake up and before he'd yawn he'd already been sick He hadn't ate nothing for days, his arms are looking like a twig How can he look after himself when this kid is only 6? Even though he's 6, he suffers with deep depression Coz all his mother wants to do is use him as a weapon To try and get his father back in the yard but he ain't stepping Back in the yard unless he's going round here for s** and And that's the way the world is That's the way the worlds moving Parents split up and that's another kid losing The chance to have two parents, who aren't gonna abuse him AND A MOMENT TO HIMSELF WHERE HE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL USELESS MOMENT TO HIMSELF WHERE HE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL STUPID MOMENT TO HIMSELF WHERE HE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL CLUELESS Not knowing what's going on, he's not crying he's going strong, he's Looking at his mummy asking 'why does daddy do this?' But she tells him to shut up and get upstairs to his room Doesn't wanna go but he's walking upstairs with his shoes Thinking bout his bike in the garden that barely gets used Mothers coming up the stairs he's gotta bare the next bruise Blames him for what his father did to her in the past Coz when she looks at her little boy all she sees is his dad The one that left her on her arse, and left her wheezing for cash She can't pull it together she can't find a (chokes up) Stressing out to d**h and now she got a reason for crack She left her son all on his own and he's just needing her back She's smoking on a heavy pipe and now she's feeling the cat She's feeling like she's in the trap but she ain't been in the trap She's reminiscing on all the things that she's seen in the past She's thinking back on all the times when there was green in the gra** She's only had one sip But if she had one wish Then she'd be going back 10 years to her senior cla** Nah Poor little kid, nah he don't wanna see his mummy cry He can see the pain when he's looking into his mummy's eyes Young boy and already he's sick of hearing mummy's lies The kid is supposed to be mixed race but he looks funny why? When he goes to school he don't call it school, it's bully time Off the bully when he goes to school he has to stomach five If he don't cry for one day, then it's lucky time He tells the teacher but they laugh at him and say he's full of sh**e Young boy living in this world he can't win Sitting on this roundabout but it can't spin Every-time he cries nobody hears a thing And now he's feeling like it's the whole world against him He get's back from school, his mother's laying on the bed Box of tablets at the side of her, she looks like a mess Confused he walks over to his mothers bed And yeah he shakes her up but little do he know his mother's dead Yeah he's shaking mummy up, but he ain't waking mummy up She's all yours the mighty lord has already taken mummy up Prays forgiveness for all the mistakes that his mummy's done Laying dead and now she can't even make it up to her son! Yeah he's shaking mummy up, but he ain't waking mummy up She's all yours the mighty lord has already taken mummy up Prays forgiveness for all the mistakes that his mummy's done Laying dead and now she can't even make it up to her son! He just wants his mummy back. She ain't never coming back He wants his mother to come back and tell him that's he's full of crap Wants his mummy to tell him to feed the dog and feed the cat Only four words he's got for his mum is I NEED YOU BACK! He just wants his mummy back but she ain't never coming back He wants his mother to come back and tell him that's he's full of crap Wants his mummy to tell him to feed the dog and feed the cat The only four words he's got for his mum is I NEED YOU BACK!
