Midsummer Murders

Intro - spoken low - Rone
Case file, summer. They want it tidy. I don't do tidy.

Verse 1 - Three Scenes - Rone grime flow
Scene one, night bus, top deck, last run - 11:11
Two youts, one shank, over a look, that's done
Driver kept drivin, nobody stood, fam
I bag the Oyster, I read the blood, damn
Seventeen years young and the ends just shrug - bruv

Scene two, estate stairwell, piss and concrete - Ends
He was walkin his sis home, that's ends
Four flights up, landing light dead - dark
Council said "we'll fix it" - chat, bare lies in the park
Now flowers taped where the bulb should be - mark

Scene three, park gates, after the ting - festi
Music still playin while the feds and medics get busy
Crowd filmed it, thousand phones, not one hand - wasted
I watch the footage and I get it, fam - matrix
Pattern got an audience, and the audience is nameless

Hook - Rone + Glow Ooh + Vera Ah
I solve it by the six o'clock news - quick
Chalk outline and they call it old news - flick
Shocking - but they tidy it, tidy it - wipe it
Midsomer manners on a Midsomer summer - lippy
And nobody admits that the village is drippy - bleedin innit

[Verse 2 - The Tidiers - Grime double time]
Scene one, newsroom, headline for a day - click bait
"Teen tragedy" then the clicks decay - gone same day
By Friday it's a sidebar, by Monday it's ghost
Editor already moved on, toast
Grief got a shelf life and the shelf life's toast - dawn

Scene two, podium, suit and a frown - politician chat
"Thoughts and prayers" for the cameras downtown - cap
Taskforce promised, fundin "under review" - yeah yeah
Translation: there ain't nothin they gon do - bare lies
I file the statement with the lies I already knew - filed

Scene three, road where the curtains twitch - twitchin
Every window saw it, not one gon snitch - snitchin
"I didn't see nuffin" they all rehearse - code
Postcode silence, everybody knows the code - road
Eyes down, phones out, that's the code - cold
