All For Nothing

This little kid called Chris, aged something like eight-ish Had a mother named Grace and a brother named David He loved to play with 'cause his bruv's his favourite If he ever got in trouble he would come to save him Till the day when, they were walking down the pavement I don't even know how to frame it I just hope there came a day that culprit faced the flames 'Cause they can't place the blame without a face or name But, up in a pub a couple miles away And in a violent state, there was a guy named Blake Who'd sent a, text to an ex that says let's have sex babe I'll come and pick you up and then I'll f*ck your brains His mate says oi Blake, 'fore you go for a f*ck Why don't ya have another bump, this'll sober you up Blake takes it but says why would I give a f*ck I'd just lie to the cops, I wouldn't drive when I'm drunk So once more, keys in the door and feet to the floor He's feeling drunker than he'd ever even been before With not a care in the world, but to get to a girl He's only text because he's desperate for some sex from her His vision's blurred, it's absurd, but he's still undeterred Begins to surge up the curve 'cause he's nearly at her Bliss unaware, this the shit that puts a kid in a hearse And then he swerved, into Chris on the curb There's neighbours and strangers suddenly at the scene They can't believe what they've seen, the car just screeched and then fleed While David's rushing to his brother 'cause he needed to see But, covered in blood his pleas become screams He proceeds to shout go and grab my mom now Tell her it's Chris, come quick, we need an ambulance now But as he manically shouts, convinced he's bound to come round Chris is unconscious, not responsive so he's panicking now Like, Chris, jeez, just wake up please Mom's coming, just wait and see I know you're joking, you're playing with me Or maybe this is just a crazy dream please god, can you let Chris live I promised Mom that I'd protect this kid And I would die by his side while defending him Just give a sign that you tried to prevent this shit Not comprehending it he won't let go oh no His neck and his skin as cold as the snow That's his next of kin, his only bro To heaven it's a fucking lonely road Becoming numb-er and resigned to cry He hugs his brother for the final time Begins to mutter and sighs goodbye And then his mother arrives outside So, next time you think to drink and drive And not just the drunks if you're drugged or high Picture kids, fathers, daughters, wives Living a nightmare of torture brought to life A mom, who's lost her son, begins to cry When she gets PTSD in the midst of night Just wished her kid had survived , this shit could eat you alive She wants to screech to the sky screaming why god why Why did this happen to him He was just a little kid with such a laugh and a grin Now there's a little bit of heaven where my happiness is Imagine the stress this inflicts, having to bury your kid My little Chris'll be missed, by his fam and his brother Blood runs thick, they'd always back up each other But then they tragically suffered, at the hands of another Yeah, that man'll recover, but this family doesn't This family doesn't His family doesn't Another child died and it's all for nothing And it's all for nothing They just wanted to say something They just wanna erase suffering Another child died and it's all for nothing It's all for nothing
