Couldn't Get Along lyrics

You know what today I'm pissed off with you

'Cos you've been acting childish T

Yo when the fuck are you gonna grow up, man

Stop having these fights with me?

Deep down I know were cool sometimes I wonder

Would I really give a fuck if you were six feet under

I look at you as a friend but when it comes down to me, it's blatant

Me and you ain't tight like the way you are with Jason

And you don't listen to me like the way you listen to him

That makes me think that you don't respect me

That's how the dissin' begins

Every time we meet we're at each others throats

Like a couple of bitches

I hate the way you try and go on

Like a fuck that's some thick shit

I know one day you'll sort yourself out

'Cos you ain't stupid

I just hope that day ain't that far away

'Cos my life's moving at a fast rate

Picking up pace, heading towards the right place

I don't wanna leave you behind but I could feel my heart change

'Cos as everyday goes by, I start to realize who my friends are

If your one of them, prove it, fix up

Couldn't get along today

I couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

Couldn't get along today, ooh yeah

I couldn't get along today

Once again, my friend, you managed to rattle someones cage

But for once it ain't mine, yo, this time it's Daves

Fuck me, I thought we were bad but you and him are worst

Fooling out over petite shit like women, weed and birds

Talking about how if you never saw each other again

It would be too soon

I can't really talk though 'cos sometimes I feel that way too

I'm just glad that me and you have sorted out our differences

Now we can finally be on the level as you like to put it just settled

So how's your life, man? Lately you seem really down

What's it like living on that council estate in South?

I know you got that big fuck of dog to protect you

But I ain't your manor, man, what's wrong with your head, dude?

The way you got one blood, you need to be careful

Aye, don't give me that shit about it being all cool just be careful

Look, I gotta go when your in the ends next make sure you check me

Alright, bruv, cool, see you next week

Couldn't get along today

I couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

Couldn't get along today, ooh yeah

I couldn't get along today

Today I'm fucking distraught, I'm beside myself

I can't stop crying, man and even can no one else

'Cos today I got a call from Greg and the first thing he said was

"Hey B, you're not gonna believe this, man but Tony's dead"

And at first I didn't then I heard the tone in his voice

And I knew he was serious so I didn't have a choice

And suddenly it hit me and I went silent, lost for words

As I listened to him describe how you died, I felt this surge

Of overwhelming sadness

The fucking bastards, why they have to kill you, man? It's madness

I keep picturing your face its the first time I seen you scared

As I imagine you dropping from the balcony, falling through the air

I don't know whether you fell trying to escape

Or whether you was pushed off

But whatever they did

It was enough to get you more than shook up

All I know is they turned up at your flat

Whilst you were sleeping

And seriously intended on giving you a beating

That bitch you lived with must ave had something to do with it as well

She wanted you out of her yard

Why the fuck else would that dog of yours be locked in another room?

I find it far too convenient that slag must have knew

That they was coming to do you something bad

I can't take this is driving me mad

I just can't believe your gone I never felt this sad

T, I fuckin' love you, man

Couldn't get along today

I couldn't get along today

I'll have to call you back later

Couldn't get along today, ooh yeah

I couldn't get along today

Now that you're gone, think we'll ever be the same

Your death was a tragedy in every kind of way

I can't comprehend, dude, the time we wasted

On being angry at each other instead if just getting along

It's wrong and it reminds me of how you left it last with Dave

'Cos when you died we didn't see his arse for days

And those days turned to months

And now those months have turned to years

For me to be exact 'cos still were holding back the tears

I said we haven't seen Dave for your years

But we have except it ain't really him

'Cos David we knew, would never take crack or heroin

Hit him hard just like it did with Jason

You and him were like brothers

And in his heart lies and empty space

'Cos you'll never be replaced

And we all feel the same

What we have is love and respect

When someone mentions your name

So know this just before I hang up the line for the last time

We love you and you're forever on our minds

See you in heaven, bruv
