Plan B

[Verse 1: Plan B]

Today I'm pissed off with you 'cause you've been acting childish T

When the fuck are you gunna grow up man and stop having these fights with me?

Deep down I know we're cool but sometimes I wonder

Would I really give a fuck if you were six feet under

I look at you as a friend but when it comes down to it it's blatant

Me and you ain't tight like the way you are with Jason

And you don't listen to me like the way you listen to him

That makes me think that you don't respect me that's how

The dissin' begins

Every time we meet we're at each others throats like a couple of bitches

I hate the way you try and go on like a thug? that's some thick shit

I know one day you'll sort yourself out 'cause you ain't stupid

I just hope that that day ain't that far away

'Cause my life's moving at a fast rate picking up pace heading

Towards the right place

I don't wanna leave you behind but I can feel my heart change

'Cause as everyday goes by I start to realise who my friends are

If you're one of them, prove it, fix up

[Hook]

Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 2: Plan B]

Once again my friend you managed to rattle someone's cage

But for once it ain't mine

Yo, this time its Dave’s

Fuck me I thought we were bad

But you and him are worse

Falling out over petty shit

Like women, weed and birds

Talking about how if you never saw each other again

It would be too soon

I can't really talk though

Cos sometimes I feel that way too

I'm just glad that me and you have sorted out our differences

Now we can finally be on the level as you like to put it just settled

So how's your life man

Lately you seem really down

What's it like living on that council estate in south?

I know you got that big fuck off dog to protect you

But that ain't your manor man

What's wrong with your head dude?

The way you go on blud

You need to be careful

Ay don't give me that shit bout it’s all cool, just be careful

Look I gotta go when you're in the ends next make sure you check me

Alright blud cool, see you next week

[Hook]

Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 3: Plan B]

Today I'm fucking distraught

I'm beside myself

I can't stop crying man

Neither can no one else

Cos today I got a call from Greg

And the first thing he said

Was hey B you're not gunna believe this man but Tony’s dead

And at first I didn't

Then I heard the tone in his voice

And I knew he was serious

So I didn't have a choice

And suddenly it hit me

And I went silent lost for words

As I listened to him describe how you died

I felt this surge of overwhelming sadness

Those fucking bastards why they have to kill you man its madness

I keep picturing your face

It’s the first time I’ve seen it scared

As I imagine you dropping from the balcony and falling through the air

I don't know whether you fell trying to escape

Or whether you was pushed off

But whatever they did it was enough to get you more than shook up

All I know is they turned up at your flat whilst you were sleepin'

And seriously intended on giving you a beating

That bitch you lived with must have had something to do with it as well

She wanted you out of her yard

Why the fuck else

Would that dog of yours be locked in another room

I find it far too convenient

That slag must'a knew

That they was coming to do you something bad

I can't take this its driving me mad I just can't believe you're gone I never felt this sad

I fuckin' love you man

[Hook]

Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

Couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 4: Plan B]

Now that you're gone nothing will ever be the same

Your death was a tragedy in every kind of way

I can't comprehend all the time we wasted on

Being angry at each other instead of just getting along

It’s wrong and it reminds me of how you left it last with Dave

Cos when you died we didn't see his arse for days

And those days turned to months and now those months have turned to years

Four to be exact cos still were holding back the tears

I said we haven't seen Dave for years

But we have except it ain't really him

Cos the David we knew would never take crack or heroin

It hit him hard just like it did with jay

You and him were like brothers and in his heart lies and empty space

Cos you'll never be replaced

And we all feel the same

All we have is love and respect when someone mentions your name

So know this just before I hang up the line for the last time

We love you and you're forever on our minds
