You can have me scared running for my life or hiding cos your man's out there some of them have knives, you can do whatever you want to do to me, then to my kids when I am gone like with my dad's jubilee, but what's the point? And why? It's not good but you don't care U like it.

You can make me go through anything just to hobble back again, you can spread me round your friends so they have a poke then send the kids you teach to laugh and make a joke, you can have me thinking your with the crew that killed my mum, the way your killing me slowly, then colm

You can stop me getting smokes, get Centrelink cut off, have the doctors rig my forms & the shit they tell me worse, you can make sure I've no back up no help & no support, you can hinder every movement that I make, you can spike me, tweek my brain wires, fill me full of pain..
