HOUSING ESTATE

 
Growing up is tough living on a housing estate 
Conditions are cramped not particularly great
Best not leave your place when it gets dark 
Somebody somewhere wants to leave their mark 

Drug dealing is common all hours of the day 
Noisy neighbours shout just to have their say
The kids should be at school are rude for sure 
Every five seconds there is a slamming door 

A shady businessman enters flat number four 
On the lookout for a quick fix and a score 
Ladies offer themselves if the price is right 
Twenty quid for the afternoon it's more at night 

A housing estate like this is a common place 
Lived by all creed or colour religion or race
Sure it is tough but the people seem to get by
No time for self pity and no time to cry
