Letter Home - K Koke, Teish O'Day

This is my letter home

Mum I’m doing just fine

I can’t moan I ain’t really doing hard time

No phone, I lost it on my third night

Screws run up on my cell on a mad hype

They didn’t get it though, I had to let it go

Out the window just before they crept in slow

I couldn’t plug that that’s where I had my drugs at

Plus my heart was hurting

From the bus' back

Look, I back all of the mandem

Its me, Dunga and M on the landing

I see Con, see Tawman and Tysen

I see Reppy, see Nevv, see Simon

See Lee, See Joe, see Jim

They come like the whole fucking ends are in the bin

I’m gonna wrap it up now

I’m off to the gym

Please kiss my little princess

And tell her that I’ll ring

Baby boy, keep it together

No it wont be long, please be strong

When you sleep at night, pray and hold your pillow tight

I’ll be there at the end with your kiss

Got your letter this morning

Brought a tear to my eye

I can’t get up in the morning

But it’ll be alright

Mum I got shipped out

They got me up in force

From the b cat to d cat they got me on tour

Different jail different places

Different cells different faces

It’s kinda better how this place is

I even got a key to my cell

And a little bit of freedom as well

I’m still making p’s up in jail

Got a b on my sheet

Shottin' fiends in my cell

Canteen every week got me eating well

Mum you know me I just keep to myself

And hold my hood up like jeans with a belt

I still miss the road though

I still miss the mandem, no homo!

Still counting down the days til I go home

Oh how I miss the road so

now its getting so close

The days are getting longer

Blood got me stronger

Baby boy, keep it together

No it wont be long, please be strong

When you sleep at night, pray and hold your pillow tight

I’ll be there at the end with your kiss

Got your letter this morning

Brought a tear to my eye

I cant get up in the morning

But it’ll be alright

Mum I’m kinda stressed out they got me back in scrubs

They accused me of bullying and hustlin' drugs

I miss my dawg Biggs

That brudda showed me love

And Jimmy clacksons bredrin

It’s me and him reppin'

And my brudda Ginge

You know I cant forget him

We was getting parcels on a next ting

I cant lie, right now I’m kinda frettin'

Police come, and nicked me for attempted murder

They say that I bust a burner

And some other shit that’s unheard’a

And its all done my head in

Fucking humiliating

I got bail now my time feels complicated

I just wanna touch the road and see my baby

I think about her daily

Oh damn how I miss her

I beg you mum kiss her

Tell her that I love her

And daddy’s got her picture

Baby boy, keep it together

No it wont be long, please be strong

When you sleep at night, pray and hold your pillow tight

I’ll be there at the end with your kiss

Got your letter this morning

Brought a tear to my eye

I cant get up in the morning

But it’ll be alright
