Lowkey - Story To Tell Pt.2 lyrics

Remember Ricky's wife in part one?
I never said her name
She was known on road as "Vanessa Fame"
When she wedded Ricky she never
Claimed his second name
Back when she was still acting like
The jokes he cracked were funny
She was keeping it low
Smoking crack with Sonny
Scheming all on her hubby's stacks of money
Before they took his cash and
They dashed to Surrey
Sonny was one of Ricky's trusted friends

Back when her and Ricky still had
Sex but she'd just pretend
They took his funds then drove into
The sunset like 'fuck the ends'
Chased by cops and jakes but got away
Besides, Vanessa's been eight
Weeks pregnant now ain't told Sonny
He's stressed out cause there's feds about
Three months, she tells him he's overjoyed -
Hopes it's a boy
But you've got to feel sorry
For the silly prick
'cause she never said the fetus in
Her womb was Ricky's kid
Four months, Vanessa feels awkward
They find a flat so she tries
To act like it's all good
Settle down, in a peaceful town
But five months
She just can't suppress the guilt
Tried to slit her wrists when Sonny's
Out to get some milk they put her on bare
Different anti-depressant pills
All that, on top of a crack habit
Ain't hard to see this baby's
Fate - it's all mathematics

Seven months
Everything she's seen Vanessa kept
It in silently
But wrote down exactly how she
Felt in her diary
Should have bun it when they
Were running from feds
But instead she hid it under the bed
Deep down she was smart but drugs
Had her dumb in the head
Still you could never tell that
Her husband was dead she took it faster now
Acting happy with a heartless smile
In writing, cursing her bastard child

As for Sonny
He was doing things he couldn't say
Almost got put away for pushing H
He didn't fuck with it but
Wasn't sure Vanessa could resist
Still had nightmares about her
Severing her wrists eight months comes
Sonny prays once for his baby's life
Maybe twice by now Vanessa's
Stomach is unusually large
And Sonny's planning all the things they're
Gonna do to the yard
Oblivious to the hideously obvious
He was shottin' to some kids
While she was on a trip to the doctor's quick
He was over in Walthamstow
Talking on his phone
When they called him to let
Him know her water's broke
And she went into labour he got home
Two hours and ten minutes later
Got the message, but decided not to stress it
In his bed
Reached for his lighter and cigarettes
But dropped his lighter
As it hit the floor it rolled under the bed
He pushed the bed back the
Book he found underneath
He read that page by page
Feeling like his heart was being sliced
In half with a razor blade
Sonny can't believe what he finds out
Gets all reflective and high in the house
Tries brown the first time and
He dies on the couch some say that they die
When the smoking starts
But others think that Sonny really
Died from a broken heart

The worst thing is that Vanessa's
Giving birth to twins
Maybe she knew Sonny died
We never could tell
But at that moment, her heartbeat's level
It fell a heart attack
What kind of last laugh is that?
She told the midwife "What? I'mma
Let my kids have it"
But her last words were "it
Should have been a miscarriage"
What goes around comes around
Seems to ring true but this is far from the
End blud: to be continued
