about

One day Batch came round to my house and I was feeling very sad. I was still in the middle of the most intense bereavement. I'd lost my dad a few months before. He just turned round to me and said I want to sing something for your dad, let's make a track.

lyrics

If you don't want to die, don't come to earth. You came to the world, you will leave the world. Do something good before it's too late.
