One Mile Away Page #2

and he's gonna think,

"There's my man from that side of town.

Let's get rid or f*** him up. "

You wake up every day saying,

"Something is not right. "

Yeah.

I don't know

if we're gonna get a next chance

to come back in a next world

and do it again.

Well, we're only gonna get

this one chance, innit, brother?

Like I says, you're only gonna be

10 once, 20 once, 30 once.

There's no part two of this, next year

or in the next lifetime.

Bruv, right now, it's real.

I've lost a load of friends.

I've lost a load of people.

A load of people around me...

Misery, and a load of angry people.

You wake up and think, "I can't be

living like this. It's not a joke. "

Yeah, it's not. Do you get me?

You're burying your friend.

You've done your crying.

You can't be living like this, man.

This is crazy. You understand it?

Who else can I think of

that's gonna come up and say,

"You know what?

We have to stop this ting,"

and can actually get to the next side

and get back and vice versa?

So it's a good thing for me

to be sitting here with Dylan.

Being able to pass messages

and get messages back and forward

to let people know

it's not that time.

So you can't call five man

out of college to do this job.

This job has to be taken care of

by people that are affiliated,

whether they're out there banging...

You need to be around these members.

Man, active...

In half an hours time,

I could be with a man

who's licking off heads and that.

That's how real it is and

it's a small world.

Yeah.

How are we gonna really do this?

Kind of, like, you get me?

Like I says, it could, like...

it could put men in problems.

I'm not gonna lie.

Some people might not like it.

It's gonna be hard

to get through, though.

I don't get paid. There's no reward.

The only thing that could come

of this is someone could say,

"F*** him, we're lighting him up. "

So that's why I know

my heart's in it.

I believe, if we don't do it,

no one's gonna do it.

We've gotta try and do it.

Even if nothing comes of it,

when they mention

Burgers, Johnnies or war,

they'll know that at least

there's a man out there thinking,

"I'll try and do something. "

Man cant ever tell me

how much I've put my life on the line

for my community.

That thing what we did yesterday

is bigger than what anybody

could imagine,

Just for us to have spoken.

Then I've sent a message that way.

And he's sent a message his way.

Are we meeting someone I know, Dylan?

I don't know if you've met...

How old is he?

26 now, but as far as I can remember,

he's always been around it so...

The kids need to understand

that they're arguing over nothin'.

All of this is over nothin'.

That's the scary thing about it.

If there's gonna be some peace

or whatever you wanna call it...

Order, you know its order

.. yeah, order, I'm willing to try.

I just can't see it being like...

I dunno, man.

I'm not saying this is gonna be

straight peace like that,

but I'm saying...

Them lot hollered at Penny, you know.

This is what I keep saying to ya.

You see when you say, "Them lot?"

All right, I'll say an individual.

Shabba, That individual there,

he's not valid.

Yeah, I hear that.

I need to hear it from someone

who I know deep down inside my heart

that is up to no good.

But he's saying there's active men

that are involved in the thing

and these are men

doing stuff on the road.

They've said it from their heart.

If you can stop this thing,

stop it, innit?

These motherfuckers are not stupid.

They can be saying all that because

they wanna get involved in stuff.

They wanna get their fingers

dipped in certain little situations

that otherwise they couldn't have.

Would you talk to your enemy

to set us free?

Or just wait for the 5-0

to give you the key?

Cos ten men getting 30

That was injustice

When it was war

they taught us to bust this

How can we come together?

Cos they don't trust us

Where's the loyalty?

Is there no love left?

Ride and die for n*ggers

till there's no thugs left

Then bust the guns

till there's no slugs left

Cos the government's having a party

and they're calling it Illuminati

It's Boxing Day

There's been a shooting in town.

Gonna phone Shabba

and see what we can do.

Try to sort the situation out, innit?

I'm good to go right now, bruv.

We're here, innit,

so if you're free, you could link up.

Retaliation is

what I'm worried about.

Even though a meeting in town

could be dodgy,

before this escalates

and turns into some big drama,

Shabba and I have agreed

to hook up for the second time

to see if we can sort this out.

You shouldn't be making the youths

wind you up, though.

You've been around, yeah.

You've been around long enough

to know, blood.

It's like a lickle brother

winding you up and you say,

"You carry on,

I'm gonna beat you up. "

You know what, say,

"F*** him man.

You can't be making men

bring you down to their level

to have youth activity, blood.

Since, man, I met up and that,

nothing ain't really happened.

Minor tings, but nothing on the

scale of how f***ing last year was,

with this heat wave

of shooting and that.

Cos the next man dies now

or next shot goes off,

it's gonna get messy again.

I could get five men

and you could get five men

and they could sit there and say,

"You done this and you done that

and, yeah, my bredren this... "

What I'm sayin',

if we just stop it, blood...

F*** it off. You get me blood?

F*** it off, innit?

See how it goes for a bit, man.

This conversation's never been had.

15, 20 years

this gang thing's been running,

this conversation's never been had.

So what are people suspicious of?

What would they say?

People are suspicious we're doing it

with an ulterior motive.

It's either to get money

or there's the police involved

somewhere along the lines.

There's loads of things

people are wary about.

I'm not trying to tell you

how to live your life.

I'm advising ya,

so don't be mad at me

or don't think

I'm trying to pull no stunts,

or it's not no money scam.

This is for all of us

in the long run, blood.

They don't seem to understand.

Why would you wanna do it?

But we're gonna show them

the bigger picture, bruv.

We're gonna keep it moving,

were gonna keep pushing.

This is the black holocaust

Where we're judged

by the way we walk

And close friends get killed

for the way we talk

You bring up so much anger

You're supposed to know

That this world

don't owe you anything

Cos we was born to lose

but built to win

You're not supposed to talk to the

enemy, as people would say, but...

I don't look at them as my enemy.

The life I live, government, police,

the way the system works,

I don't look at them as my enemy.

If people have got a problem

with them, fair enough,

but I wouldn't say my enemy.

I'd rather get up

and go and kill a policeman,

to tell the God's honest truth.

I'm more angry at them,

you know, than them.

I'm really mad at...

I think if you put
