Plan B

[Verse 1: Plan B]
Today I'm pissed off with you 'cause you've been acting childish T
When the fuck are you gunna grow up man and stop having these fights with me?
Deep down I know we're cool but sometimes I wonder
Would I really give a fuck if you were six feet under
I look at you as a friend but when it comes down to it it's blatant
Me and you ain't tight like the way you are with Jason
And you don't listen to me like the way you listen to him
That makes me think that you don't respect me that's how
The dissin' begins
Every time we meet we're at each others throats like a couple of bitches
I hate the way you try and go on like a thug? that's some thick shit
I know one day you'll sort yourself out 'cause you ain't stupid
I just hope that that day ain't that far away
'Cause my life's moving at a fast rate picking up pace heading
Towards the right place
I don't wanna leave you behind but I can feel my heart change
'Cause as everyday goes by I start to realise who my friends are
If you're one of them, prove it, fix up
[Hook]
Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 2: Plan B]
Once again my friend you managed to rattle someone's cage
But for once it ain't mine
Yo, this time its Dave’s
Fuck me I thought we were bad
But you and him are worse
Falling out over petty shit
Like women, weed and birds
Talking about how if you never saw each other again
It would be too soon
I can't really talk though
Cos sometimes I feel that way too
I'm just glad that me and you have sorted out our differences
Now we can finally be on the level as you like to put it just settled
So how's your life man
Lately you seem really down
What's it like living on that council estate in south?
I know you got that big fuck off dog to protect you
But that ain't your manor man
What's wrong with your head dude?
The way you go on blud
You need to be careful
Ay don't give me that shit bout it’s all cool, just be careful
Look I gotta go when you're in the ends next make sure you check me
Alright blud cool, see you next week
[Hook]
Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 3: Plan B]
Today I'm fucking distraught
I'm beside myself
I can't stop crying man
Neither can no one else
Cos today I got a call from Greg
And the first thing he said
Was hey B you're not gunna believe this man but Tony’s dead
And at first I didn't
Then I heard the tone in his voice
And I knew he was serious
So I didn't have a choice
And suddenly it hit me
And I went silent lost for words
As I listened to him describe how you died
I felt this surge of overwhelming sadness
Those fucking bastards why they have to kill you man its madness
I keep picturing your face
It’s the first time I’ve seen it scared
As I imagine you dropping from the balcony and falling through the air
I don't know whether you fell trying to escape
Or whether you was pushed off
But whatever they did it was enough to get you more than shook up
All I know is they turned up at your flat whilst you were sleepin'
And seriously intended on giving you a beating
That bitch you lived with must have had something to do with it as well
She wanted you out of her yard
Why the fuck else
Would that dog of yours be locked in another room
I find it far too convenient
That slag must'a knew
That they was coming to do you something bad
I can't take this its driving me mad I just can't believe you're gone I never felt this sad
I fuckin' love you man
[Hook]
Couldn't get along today, nah we couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
Couldn't get along today
I'll have to call you back later

[Verse 4: Plan B]
Now that you're gone nothing will ever be the same
Your death was a tragedy in every kind of way
I can't comprehend all the time we wasted on
Being angry at each other instead of just getting along
It’s wrong and it reminds me of how you left it last with Dave
Cos when you died we didn't see his arse for days
And those days turned to months and now those months have turned to years
Four to be exact cos still were holding back the tears
I said we haven't seen Dave for years
But we have except it ain't really him
Cos the David we knew would never take crack or heroin
It hit him hard just like it did with jay
You and him were like brothers and in his heart lies and empty space
Cos you'll never be replaced
And we all feel the same
All we have is love and respect when someone mentions your name
So know this just before I hang up the line for the last time
We love you and you're forever on our minds
