Mum, if da phone ring half past nine An’ you see my name inna Sun headline Don’t let them speak on my name like they knew my soul They saw my melanin, hood up, and my SE postcode I weren’t running from life Was tryna make it right But da road a cage And I was caught inside Mum, when you hear that I’m gone Just know I was on the road tryna fight on I weren’t startin’ trouble, I was tryna make funds Tryna build us a life better than this one Don’t let them twist my name I was on the road tryna fight on But never meant to cause you pain Mum, when you hear... When you hear... Mum, when you hear... Yeah, when you hear... Man was out by D-Block where da pagans play Tryna make sense of da man I became You gave me love, gave me prayers, I just gave you stress But it’s you I called out on the pavement with my last breath I weren’t running from life Was tryna make it right But da road a cage And I was caught inside Mum, when you hear that I’m gone Just know I was on the road tryna fight on I weren’t startin’ trouble, I was tryna make funds Tryna build us a life better than this one Don’t let them twist my name I was on the road tryna fight on But never meant to cause you pain Mum, when you hear... When you hear... Mum, when you hear... Yeah, when you hear... Tell my lil bro don’t follow my steps Top Boy dreams look real till your time’s up next Now our house quiet still when morning come No mother should ever know that hurt, buryin’ a son Mum, when you hear that I’m gone Just know I was on the road tryna fight on I weren’t startin’ trouble, I was tryna make funds Tryna build us a life better than this one Don’t let them twist my name I was on the road tryna fight on But never meant to cause you pain Mum, when you hear... When you hear... Mum, when you hear... Yeah, when you hear... Mum, if dat phone ring half past nine Don’t read them comments, don’t pay no mind Just remember your boy Before the road claimed my name Just know I called for you in my life’s last frame
