Flies Lyrics by Johnny Welsh

2020

[Intro]
Where's Japp?
Yo

[Verse 1]
30 head classes, it was a school for the masses
Harsh reality, ignorance for a formality
Always sensed there were problems surroundin' me
Parents kept me shielded, never had much feel with it
Other kids with no p's, forced to stealin' it
Fiver for lunch, I could even afford munch
Kids in my school used to drown in the pool
Believed I was a tool, but really I was just a fool

[Chorus]
Coz where I'm from, only the idiots don't make it out (no)
Have every opportunity, to makе that shit count
But the other kids in my postcode, thеy lived two miles down the ghost road
Couldn't break the circle, of life's doubt

[Post-Chorus]
Flies
Flies
Flies

[Verse 2]
Manor Way deceived, but no one achieved
Every other day, fights clouded the play
Always knew I'd stay, coz it was the only way
But off to the private school, went my mate Jay
Friend of my family, had to leave the school
Homophobes picked on him, coz he was too cool
For his career it will be fuel, only make him stronger
Will be and only, my place to conquer

[Bridge]
Open the skies, see the world from their eyes
A deeper understanding, would never lead to demise
Only in it for the prize, no matter the amount of tries
We were just flies in a postcode, tryna make our lives count

[Chorus]
Coz where I'm from, only the idiots don't make it out (no)
Have every opportunity, to make that shit count
But the other kids in my postcode, they lived two miles down the ghost road
Couldn't break the circle, of life's doubt

[Post-Chorus]
Flies
Flies
Flies
