lyrics

(cold, innit)

Second year engineering, I could do the maths
Worked out the odds of everything on this estate
Every number said get out, so I got out
(got out, got out)
Then the same maths told me nobody else could

They call it luck (call it luck)
Luck is just a variable you can't see yet

Same sky, different forecast
Postcode weather
Depends where you're standing when it breaks

My brother's clever, cleverer than me
He's doing eight years for a decision made in four seconds
I've done the sum a hundred times, it never balances
(never balances)
Four seconds against eight years, that's not a rate

I dropped out one term short.
Everyone asks why.
The answer is the answer to everything round here.
(808 SLIDES BACK IN)
