[Verse 1: IQ]

The pain I'm showing
Cah all we talked about was music and blowing
All he wanted to do was change the streets
The game was weak, he woulda just done it
Fam I know him like M, even on bad days he was smiling
Cos he knew good days were gonna find him
And he knew he had IQ anytime of the day
Cah I stand there right beside him
Like M yeah on my back like a rucksack
Sometimes I have to wonder how a n***a coulda hated him
He was my bro, he wasn't like that
Fam I love him, man I miss him, can't believe I have to bury him
I can't believe it
I told them why the hell we beefing idiots
I can't believe it
I told them why the hell we beefing idiots

[Chorus: IQ]

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho


[Verse 2: YM]

Lemme tell you from the start, I don't tark
Thinking about M in my heart
Play 'ard, spray bars, soon gonna chart
I said play 'ard, spray bars, soon gonna chart
I don't do mates blud you know this
Blud I miss you, 'posed to break bread like Hovis
Everybody saying that they know him
Everybody saying that they rolling
Till it come to crunchtime, everybody folded
Outside the hospital, can't even hold him
Looking at your number like, can't even phone him
Thinking about the days we was zoning
Now I see the shit clear, suttin like Volvic
Took M and Sho got my heart all frozen
Aye
Mr Ayaiyai
If you know then you know him
RIP my brosdem

[Chorus: IQ]

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho

[Verse 3: Dis]

And I'm just tryna make it more than what it is
That's because everybody dies but not everybody lives
And I'm tryna show my brothers that Karma's a bitch
And it was me, M and Sho, pedal bikes on the strip
Like Sho, bro how you garn leave like that
And I'm like M, bro when you garn be right back
And I got things on my mind, I don't speak like that
And I just keep it all in until the heat gets mad
Now I don't like saying goodbye's or wasting time
Like was it wrong day or time, they're taking lives
And I just want my mates alive, the grave ain't nice
Talking about bro's, I can't, death taking mine
And now we wanna talk about change
And a mum lost her son, I know she's feeling the pain
And in the streets it's only minus, from the streets you can't gain
And I'm tryna stop my brothers getting caught in the game
M and Sho weren't my bredrins, they were more than my mates
My heart is all cold cos they're further away
Now I'm looking at the streets and I'm turning away
Cah the streets get you birded or hurt in the grave, yeah


[Chorus: IQ]

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho

[Verse 4: CG]

Mdot, Showkey
The way they knew me, no one else would ever know me (my brothers)
M that was my brodie
Sho by my side, defo more than my homie
Yeah, that was my Co-d
Now they left me all lonely
How they garn leave them all holy
[?] you're tryna show me
The roads ain't safe, gotta sleep up in OT
Let's go
Cah I ain't tryna go broke for these jokes
Laugh at man when I'm listening to Sho
Cah he's in my head, can't believe he had to go
Now it ain't the same on the road
They took him, how can I feel safe on the road
Like, death take me alone cah the roads are mad
Walking one way like I can't see Sho or I can't see M got me feeling all sad

[Chorus: IQ]

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho

[Verse 5: Lil MDot]


First M now Sho
I'm like woah
To be honest that's life how it goes but
Lord why?
My bros
I'm feeling pain like nobody knows
It's like Sho was by my side yesterday
And now I'm getting phone calls hearing he's dead today
Lil MDot, you know that I'm repping that name
Cos MDot was a king, he was in his own lane
Yeah M was the guy, so fly
Had his own mind
Always upfront when we ride
I remember when he used to get high
The bants oh my
And now I'm staring at your grave like why
And S with the S that's Showkey
N***a was my brodie
Both had fame like Sony
Sho, I can't believe you left me
Now I'm all vexed g
My mind's all fucked, this fuckery
MDot and Show are the legends
We treated everybody like peasants
Bros, I know you're looking down on me
So Ima defo get that crown on me
Aye

[Chorus: IQ]

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho

Somebody tell me why they garn take M
Someone tell me why they took my friend
I prayed real hard cos it's not the end
My love that I had for him
Why?
Why they garn take bro?
Someone tell my why they garn take Sho
Nuff things that I never know
One day we garn link up Sho
