Last Time

Ladybirds line the pavements
of the garden
applaud the spartans
as they approach
the flat in dalston

Feel the hi-hats
ring the doorbell
welcomed in to Marvin's yard
the biggest smiles
the open arms

We come bearing gifts
carling by the cartons
It's a bargain
mate I'm starvin

We got pizzas, and lentils
the wall rumble, from the bassline
of the jungle instrumental
then Benji spits a 16
bruv that's mental!

Booze, greens
pass the lighters
Pass us the lynx,
Calvin's starting a fire,
smoke alarm but he
means no harm
Just a madness

4 safe lads,
4 game pads
Halo
not even the papal
could say no
The nights is soundtrackd
by Kano
Inside these walls I'm never defeated
might get hype never got heated
six pm the sunsets just like it did before
It was just another weekend with three friends
how could anyone have known it was the last one, the end?

How could I have known
how could I have noticed
that this was the last time
that this was the last time
I wish I had known
I wish someone told me
that this was the last time
that this was the last time

Barcardi in mugs, Marvin so drunk
he scores three headshots, the whole room goes off
out in the maze we are no hopers
but in here I feel chosen
in our part of the sewer, we're ninja turtles

crooked angle selfie
as we're spill over the sofa
these mundane thrills, forever

Small talk about run ins with the filth
all of our five year plans were a myth

screaming at the telly
knocking over dustbins
high five, clutch wins we laugh we scream
wasted into morning with tired eyes and big grins,

Some years and then

Calvin vanished in a marriage
Benji's a banker,
a text or a call every month or so
is all he can manage, worse still, votes tory
and as for me and Marvin, what can I say?
it's all cool
it's all damage, but that's another story

How could I have known
how could I have noticed
that this was the last time
that this was the last time
I wish I had known
I wish someone told me
that this was the last time
that this was the last time
