Since things went down, he's just running

some nasty ass chicken shop.

Excuse me, are your feet tired?

- "Excuse me, are your feet tired?"

Shut up, you little knob.

Relax, hard kid. Tell me you're gonna crack

nuts with your little boys claw hammer?

Where I grew up, we had f***in' fights the old

fashion way, mano to mano on the street.

With your fist, and nothing else.

That's how beefs got settled back than.

You see dese? I had deem knocked out

in a scrap when I was 20.

I f***in' picked them up, and I f***in' pushed

deem right back in and I carried on fightin'.

Shut up, Pugey. Get busy with the supper, yeah?

So, where is all dis violence

Now, see one time, they robbed a bunch

of knives from the back of the shop.

Dis little monk, Pudge,

so I chased deem down the road.

And I see where they all hang out.

Big f***in' gang of deem.

Do you think they can resist dis?

- You talk proper British shite.

I'm out of Buqay`ah.

Exactly.

Narrating:
Sometimes, like I say: "You wake

up and you could get killed today".

Never thinkin' it might be you

doing the killin'.

But when you lose someone you love...

everything... and I mean everything,

changes.
