Story to Tell 3 Songtext

von Lowkey

This is the story of twins seperated at birth,
The same time their mum was getting placed in a hearse,
In part 2 she said give em any paper thats hers,
But all she left was a dress and the change in her purse,
Once upon a time she had money but lost it,
So the 2 boys she gave birth to got adopted,
One twin Derek went with David and Leslie,
If you ask the neighbours they'd blatantly say that they were friendly,
But David beat Leslie,
As for Derek she blamed him immensly,
As a baby David patiently played with him gently,
The other twin Andrew went with Samantha and Mike,
A couple with money who handled him right,
Andrew lived in the biggest of homes,
They never said he was adopted, they raised him as their own,
You could say Andrew was spoilt, always getting everything,
While Derek was being told his real mum rejected him,
The things Leslie said gave him scars deep within,
It wasnt too long til David started beating him,
Derek wasnt ever taught right from wrong,
Andrew had it all but never felt he quite belonged,
Derek went to a school where the teacher didnt care,
Andrew went to a school where everybody cared,
Derek screamed at night there wasnt anybody there,
They were both intelligent but the level wasnt fair,
When Andrew got good grades he got extra pocket money,
Derek got bullied for that shit man it wasnt funny,
Cause Derek was smart and kind-hearted,
But he felt unwanted, ever since his life started,
Andrew was popular at school, top of the class,
Captain of the team, his dad would come and watch at the park,
The twins were as different as opposites are,
Grew seperatly, and never felt the loss of their Marge,
And neither knew the other one even existed,
As Derek got older, the beatings persisted,
Til one day he switched on David you should've seen his face,
Next thing he's locked up for GBH,
So Derek went prison, Andrew went to university,
Now tell me, out of these 2 youths would you prefer to be?
Derek just wanted to heal,
As for Andrew, he just wanted to feel what was real,
At Uni he got introduced to the drink and the drugs,
First came booze, looking for chicks to link in the pub,
Soon he was getting smashed on his own,
Then he started smoking, he went from smoking ash to the chrome,
Not long after that he found pills,
From that moment on, it was all downhill,
Soon came, the mushrooms and the speed,
Drugs went from recreation to something that he needs,
In his 3rd year he dropped out it wasnt to be,
As for Derek, behind bars he got a degree,
So Andrew decides that he wants to become a shotter,
And Derek decides that he wants to become a doctor,
That was always exactly what his dream was,
To pay his way through medical school he works 3 jobs,
Andrews back living with his dad and his mum,
Didnt bother to hide the drugs he had in his drum,
His parents wonder what happened to the boy he used to be,
A was introduced to B and through B introduced to C,
Andrew was slowly losing his mind,
He tried to shot but he got robbed numerous times,
It was a fluke he was fine,
Up in the club shooting them lines,
Without a clue what to do with his life,
Cause that morning his dad Mike had told Samantha,
That at the doctors he'd been diagnosed with cancer,
So Andrews nowhere to be found, a man missing,
And Derek has almost achieved his ambition,
The day Derek reached the dream of his lifetime,
It was deep, that same evening Mike died,
When Andrew found out, he just couldnt take it,
He straight flipped, went out and got f*cking wasted,
So now Andrews on his way to the hospital Dereks in,
Cause he spent his inheritance on heroin,
And just OD'd,
So please listen closely,
To the reason this whole story is so deep,
While Derek was in the canteen resting eating food,
Andrew died next door, and he never even knew...
