Plan B - Mama (Loves a Crackhead) lyrics

So he says he loves you
Wants you to be his wife?
But he's too hooked on the
Crack pipe for that
To be right for that to be right
It's all lies, none of it's true
Though it hurts, you know
What've you gotta do, cut him loose
Like a dirty needle
You don't know where he's been
All I know is I've seen him high
When he says that he's clean
There was a gray patch when he
First buss on the scene
But as the mystery unraveled, all
Became black and white, know what I mean?
We can never be friends, he can go to hell
No more hanging 'round the house
Like a bad smell either he goes or I do?
It's your decision mama, it's all on you
You're too old to be naive and
I know you ain't ignorant
That's what's botherin' me ma
Cause you're goin' on different
I ain't never seen you loved
Up like this before
Why is it everybody but you can
See that you deserve more?

Mama, can't you see
What he's tryin' to do, to you and to me?
Mama, it's so black and white
While you're just sittin' at home
He's out smokin' crack tonight
And I can't go for that no, no can do
I can't go for that
Can't for that, can't go for that

When I first met him, thought he was cool
Had a few things in
Common like supporting Arsenal
I saw the way he made you
Happy like a love fool
Calmed you down when times
Were hard up stressful
But all that don't matter to shit
When he starts acting like a little kid
Treating you as if you were
Some kind of bitch mama you ain't rich
But still he borrows your money
And never pays you back, cause
Every penny he gets, he spends on that
Bad habit of his, fuckin' takes the piss
Bringin' that slut in to our house
That's the ultimate diss
Now I know you threw him out for that
But how long's it gonna be
Before you take him back?
Mum I know you're lonely, but you're the only
One who can't see that this bloke is a phony
And he don't really care 'bout you Mum
He just says he does cause
He fuckin' thinks you're dumb


My mama loves a crackhead
Is that what I'm supposed to tell my friends?
When they ask me how I'm doing
Am I supposed to pretend?
Act like there's nothing's wrong
When there blatantly is?
Turn the other cheek when
He's takin' the piss? Fuck that
That's not how the man of the house acts
I gotta defend my territory, guard my patch
When I know he's doing dodgy
Shit behind your back
Put my foot down, stand my ground and that
This has got to stop
Whether the guy buns crack or not
His head ain't there he's
Fuckin' lost the plot
'Dead and Buried' is the apt phrase
Can't even act right can't even act his age
That's so fuckin' lame
Thirty-something years old
He should feel ashamed
If I was him I'd slit my veins at the mains
Run a lukewarm bath and sit in
It till my arteries drain
Do it right this time
So I ain't gotta to do it again
Cause there's nothing more pathetic than
A cry for help either you do or you
Don't wanna kill yourself
Everybody knows you got a problem so it
Don't matter if you admit it
What you gotta do is be a
Man and fuckin' deal with it

I know the truth hurts, mama
But this shit has gotta be said
He don't love you
He never has and that's a fact
Cause the only thing he really loves
In this world is crack


I can't go for that, no, no can do
I can't go for that, can't for
That, can't go for that, no
I can't go for that
