About This Track

'Home' opens with a news bulletin about knife crime in London, then pivots into Knucks' own reckoning with the pull between domestic safety and street life. The track maps the tension between a mother's pleas to stay indoors and the gravitational force of friends, romance, and the activity happening outside. He moves between scenes with precision: the text to Anna, the friend's late-night summons, the quick change into trainers, the dash out the door past his mum's objections. The song's real weight sits in its refusal to moralise. Knucks doesn't condemn the streets or sanctify home; he simply documents the competing claims on a young man's time and loyalty, the way danger and belonging get tangled together. The production stays lean, letting the narrative breathe. What emerges is less a sermon about London's violence and more an honest portrait of someone caught between two worlds, neither of which will fully release him.

"Home" is a track by Knucks, from the album Nrg 105, released 9th June 2019. The track is 3:52 long. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Knucks.

Lyrics

Home

The victim, whose name currently cannot be disclosed
Is now among over 51 young people who have
Been fatally stabbed in London this year alone
Last month more than 250

Ayy
Made in a manor
I take off my DSquared top that I rock
And I place on a hanger
Just touched home from the motive
Text get home safely to Anna
I see man have got plenty to say when I'm out
But they never ever say when the gang are

Can't take man for a spanner
Next time man I'm taking a dagger
Now I'm staring at my open door
Marj in the hallway
Bawling talking how I'm gonna get home by four
Big man at 17 can't be stuck at my home no more
Mom saying stuff about openin' up
But that's what the bros are for

Man have got hoes some days
And want to be alone some days
True say I be at home some days
And drilling with the bros some days
We was on the field and the no go ends
While you're chilling with your mom at home
Three man up in a four door Benz when they're chilling
With your mum at home
Can't you see London's burning
And you can't duck this smoke
Man know 'bout serving, man know 'bout the pot and stove
Feel like I been on the road most days
But true say I've never been home
Mom told me come home some days but
True say I never did go
Wait true say I never did

Anna
This chick that I text from college
Steady tryna learn 'bout man but
I'm just tryna get this knowledge
Always chasing these wotless guys I
Bet you them man ain't on it
I bet if gang put it on 'em
I bet them man run like Forrest
WhatsApp call from my guy said he has got a vibe
When?
Tonight
Then he pull up around nine
Text - Can't you see me blud? I'm outside
Quickly jump in my Nike's
Hardly need to change clothes
Walk out the door to see mumzy
Nagging asking me to stay home
No

Man have got hoes some days
And want to be alone some days
True say I be at home some days
And drilling with the bros some days
We was on the field and the no go ends
While you chilling with your mom at home
Three man up in a four door Benz when they're chilling
With your mum at home
Can't you see London's burning
And you can't duck this smoke
Man know 'bout serving, man know 'bout the pot and stove
Feel like I been on the road most days
But true say I've never been home
Mom told me come home some days but
True say I never did go
Wait true say I never did

Ite. Certi
Touched at 11:30
Went and stopped at my bredrin's yard
We ain't trying to get there too early
My bredrins say when I drink this hard
That a minor issue will stir me
Then I turned my head and see Anna
With some guy, that's moving too thirsty

Like where did they find this donny
Ladies man yeah? Think man's funny?
Come and get him wrapped
Come and take man's money
Matter of fact Man's gonna confront him
Walked up, pushed him and said 'Whats good?'
Looked at me confused and he said 'Nothing'
She was like 'Babes wait stop it'
Weren't gonna ching man
I was just bluffing, but I can't just stand there
Discussing

'Least not in front of Anna
Gotta come badder
Matter of fact, matter of fact, where's man's dagger?
What did it drop in the car from my pocket
No wait no wait my darggy has got it
Then out of the blue went and put it in his
Right hand and then he did my man right in the stomach
Shh
Now they got man running
On my life I taste vomit
10 toes to the Benz
Man I ended up throwing up on the bonnet
Now I hear sirens, while we tryna zing up the road
Then I looked down and I see bare missed calls
That's Mumzy ringing my phone
I should've went home

Man have got hoes some days
And want to be alone some days
True say I be at home some days
And drilling with the bros some days
We was on the field and the no go ends
While I'm chilling with your mum at home
Three man up in a four door Benz while they're chilling
With your mum at home
Can't you see London's burning
And you can't duck this smoke
Man know 'bout serving, man know 'bout the pot and stove
Feel like I been on the road most days
But true say I've never been home
Mom told me come home some days but
True say I never did go
Wait, true say I never did

An update has just come in on the incident
The police have apprehended three suspects caught speeding
In a black Mercedes, a couple of miles from the stabbing
Lets go over to our correspondent who is currently live
At the scene
