Brumsdale
Jimmy Davis Lyrics

Peeps are kotchin, filling inner cheeks with toxins
People are smoking and doing drugs, harming themselves without realizing the impact they have on their health.

Unaware that the streets are watching
People are oblivious to the fact that their behavior is being observed and could have consequences in their life.

Fleets of offspring hold heat, speak,
Groups of young people are carrying weapons and communicating with each other to strategize.

Concocting deep plans while the beef is blossoming
They are devising intricate plans while conflicts are escalating.

With sleep offering their only respite
Sleep is the only time they can rest from their constant activities.

Round the clock hustling from dusk to sunlight
They are always busy and working hard, from early in the morning until late at night.

Ensure the mechanics run right,
They are making sure that all the logistics of their operations work smoothly.

Ensure that everybody’s in the web who’s supposed to be and that it’s spun
They are checking that everyone who should be involved is participating and that their plan is well-coordinated.

Tight
They are making sure that everything is secure and under control.

This is gangsville, where heavy hands spill
This is a community where violence is widespread and people resort to physical force to resolve conflicts.

Claret everyday and there’s more buried than landfill
People are getting injured and killed regularly, and there are more dead bodies than trash in the landfill.

Worlds come crashing down brought to a standstill
People's lives are ruined and stopped completely due to the violence and crime.

Kid doing kids just to prove that they can kill
Young people are committing murder to show off and assert their power.

And it’s teenage pregnancy capital
The community has a high rate of teenage pregnancies.

With flat after flat full of tetrahydrocannanibol
Apartment buildings are filled with marijuana and drug use is common.

It’s like a jungle sometimes unimaginable
The environment is chaotic and unpredictable, like a jungle.

Relentless pursuit to expand their collateral
People are constantly trying to increase their wealth and power.

Brumsdale, city from which the scum hail
Brumsdale is a city where criminals and unsavory characters originate from.

The young fail and another stretch is done in jail
Young people often end up in jail and serve multiple sentences there.

A million and one drug sales
Drugs are sold at an alarming rate.

Watch em illuminate the sky while they’re blazing a gun trail
They shoot their guns and the flashes light up the sky.

Brum town, city in which the slum’s found
Brum town is a city where impoverished and neglected communities are located.

Use the accent as a stereotype to dumb down
People use the local accent as an excuse to underestimate the intelligence of the residents.

The daily news makes for sad reading
The news is filled with depressing and tragic stories.

But the positive heart of the manor’s still beating
Despite the negativity, there is still a sense of hope and resilience within the community.

Let’s broaden the focus and take it nationwide
We need to look at the issue on a larger scale and see how it affects the country as a whole.

Many resided in a city and f*****g ain’t survived
Many people who have lived in these communities have not been able to make it out alive.

We’re just a very small link in the network
This is just a small part of a larger problem that affects many people.

Wouldn’t be necessary for a shrink or an expert
You don't need to be a psychiatrist or an expert to understand the depth of the problem.

To tell us why it’s not confined to one place
The problem is not limited to one particular location.

Just tell Mrs Jones why she can’t see her sons face
Just explain to a grieving parent why they can no longer see their child due to the violence.

It’ll never lift the pain from when they murdered Rhys
No matter what happens or how many people are punished, it will never erase the pain caused by the murder of Rhys.

So now it’s rife in society in culture
The issue of violence is prevalent in society and is ingrained in the culture.

Recall the shock of what happened to James Bulger
Remember how shocking and horrific the murder of James Bulger was.

So I guess if we’re living in the belly of the beast
If we are living in the worst and most dangerous part of the country, it can be compared to living inside the belly of a beast.

You’d have to refer to us at the stomach ulcer
We are the source of pain and discomfort in our society, like a stomach ulcer.

Holly & Jessica, Letitia & Charlene
The names of people who were murdered or went missing due to crime.

Anthony Walker, Damilola making my heart bleed
The names of young people who were victims of violence and crime, causing great sadness and grief.

Stephen Lawrence, Gary Newlove and Ben Kinsella
The names of more victims of violence and crime.

Love is the only preventative measure
The only way to prevent these tragedies is through love and unity in communities.

Uk, country in which the youts prey
The UK is a country where young people prey on the weak.

On the weak and indefensible and then assume they
They go after people who are vulnerable and cannot defend themselves.

Are untouchable but soon the drama
They think they are invincible and can get away with anything, but soon consequences will catch up to them.

Will come back around inevitably realise the karma
Their actions will lead to consequences and they will eventually face the karma of their behavior.

Great Britain, place where they hate living
Great Britain is a place where people are unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives.

Humility left and now the nation is gain driven
People have lost their sense of humility and are focused only on personal gain.

But the gains are all material and personal
People are only focused on acquiring material possessions and advancing their own interests.

This kind of thinking will leave us dead, buried and terminal
This way of thinking will lead to our demise and destruction as a society.
