Speech Debelle

Her Name was Jade

Young girl born into a broken home
Her home was broken because her father left them alone
And her mother was never a picture of a perfection
But she gave birth to her so she was therefore elected to
Protect her no matter what but easier said than done
It’s easier to run than face your own fears
So she found comfort in men that was less than upstanding
In certain one’s opinion
Maybe not the best start in life constant coughing from the passive smoking
She was so open to her surroundings she soaked them in
Stronger than poisoning
It’s probably then she began
To conjure up dreams of living like the lucky in the movies
One brother a dog a mummy and a daddy or any other type of reality that was Less like hers, lessons learnt through local lads who’ll lash your purse
And little girls who scrape, their curls and fashion is their main concern.
v Seasons change, autumn, winter, spring to summer
Life’s a game but the winning is in playing my friend
When you see her don’t just see her faults and failures
‘Cause she’s winner, she made her story last forever

School was so so kinda felt aimless
Teachers aint paid well so they aint focus
But can you really blame them they never had a bonus
Teach in monotone put you in a coma
But she had better teachers on road
Learnt about stocks and shares and how they grow
Learnt about commodities and probably the
reason she don’t want no GCSEs
‘cause shotta aint got them but they still pushing whips
sovereign rings one ten kicks
Things don’t click the message aint clear
talking about things that don’t resonate here
‘Cause what’s exam when you’re sitting here broke
Dad’s in jail mums on coke
and she keep taking all the money out your coat
and lorry’s outside screaming gimmie what your owe
so she turns on the telly but still hears his voice
it’s just a reminder she aint here by choice
