The Story of Alex, Pt. 1 Lyrics by Y Shadey

The Story of Alex

2021

[Chorus]
Don't let the negative powers get to you
Don't let the things that are said control you
Don't let the negative powers get to you
Don't let the things that are said control you
[Verse 1]
So let me tell you 'bout this kid called Alex
A young boy that loves kicking ball
He was 17 with a little sister
That's had cancer since she's small
And Alex loved her and he loved his parents
For them he was really gonna make it
But the devil had plans to break this man
And Alex is soon gonna face it
So it started one day, it was just a friday
And Alex had finished training
He was jogging home 'cause he missed the bus
And he saw that it started raining
So as he got to his house
He saw the door's been forcefully opened
Then he goes inside can't believe his eyes
'Cause everything's just been stolen
So he goes to his mother's room
All confused and opens the door
Alex goes inside sees his mum crying
With his dad just dead on the floor
And Alex found out that during the robbery
Dad tried to fight his best
But then as his dad was fighting
He got sadly stabbed to his chest
[Chorus]
Don't let the negative powers get to you
Don't let the things that are said control you
[Verse 2]
One year's passed without his dad
But Alex is keeping his sanity
See, he's gotta step up
And keep his head up
He's gotta be the man for his family
But hospital bills are coming
'Cause his sister needs some surgery
And mum won't work
'Cause she's been broken since the day of the burglary
She realised she gotta do something
Her daughter's life's in her hand
Started sleeping with someone abusive just to make a couple grand
And Alex didn't know this 'till he came home
Saw his mum with bruises crying
He said mum please stop
She said, "No way, it's your sister's life or mine"
But then one day it was just different
Alex couldn't stand it, he was in a mission
He had a knife that came from the kitchen
"I'm gonna threaten that brother to listen"
But then as he got to the door
He saw his sister laid on the floor
Said "He hit me Alex, he's beating mum
Why I just can't take no more"
Alex was made, grabbed his shank
Moving like Sasuke runs with his sword
Mum's holding her face as the man kicks her in his brand new Jordan 4s
And now Alex is fuming
"Brother are you stupid? Touching my mum you're mad"
And then he smiles at Alex
And says "I'm gonna kill your mum like I did your dad" (Huh)
[Chorus]
Don't let the negative powers get to you
Don't let the things that are said control you
