[Verse 1]
Rapped by Mikill Pane
GListen
GLittle lady, this is just the worst way to spend your birthday
GIt's 30 degrees, D/F#Thursday
You Emwork late, you was with a perv making dirty Cfake Glove in his Mercedes
GLady the word 'rape' sums up events that take place every night
GYou wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try
And you Emremember that your punter went crazy last Dnight
You drag yourGself to the mirror to check your face then you cry
Forget the Amvisit to the clinic you were booked in for
You'll make a Ctrip to the Whittington where they'll look at your jaw
They'll be inGquisitive and ask about your business for sure
They'll know your Dfibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door
AmBut young woman
AmThe pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker
CMedical attention could be fatal
'Cause the cunt wouldn't ever let a Gdoctor near someone that's getting dough for him
'Cause next you goDt poxy authorities sticking their noses in
[Chorus]
Sung by Ed Sheeran
'cause she's Emjust under the Cadd9upper hand
GAnd goes mad for a couple of grams
EmAnd she don't wanna Cadd9go outside tonight
'cause in Ema pipe she flies to tCadd9he motherland, and
GSell love to another man,
EmIt's too Cadd9cold outsideG
For Dangels to EmflyC G
GAngels to EmflyC G
[Verse 2]
Rapped by Mikill Pane
GLittle lady, your mind you've made up
GYour injuries you can't hide with make-up
You need some Emmedical advice, you make up
EmA little lie to say Cjust
In case Gthe doc opens his eyes and don't decide to play Ddumb
GWith any luck you'll see the same dude who stitched your top lip
GLast year when your pimp just lost Dit
GHe woD/F#uldn't recogEmnise you if you stared him in the face anyCway
'Cause all the Gheroin is making you age
But you're a Amheroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag
The Cfunds you have left go where you're from using Moneygram
GMother had to get you out the motherland to study
DThat was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand
AmLittle does she know you're never coming back
G/BShe Cput you in her brother's hand only for him to formulate another plan
GHe's the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer
Fancy Dthat, you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle, damn.
[Chorus]
Sung by Ed Sheeran
'cause she's Emjust under the Cadd9upper hand
GAnd goes mad for a couple of grams
EmAnd she don't wanna Cadd9go outsGide tonight
'cause in Ema pipe she flies to tCadd9he motherland, and
GSell love to another man
EmIt's too Cadd9cold outsideG
For Dangels to Emfly
[Chorus 2]
Sung by Ed Sheeran
AmNow an anG/Bgel will Cdie
Covered in whiEmte
With closed eyes and Ghoping for a better life
ThAmis time, we'll fade out tonighCt
Straight down the Gline

[Verse 3]
Rapped by Mikill Pane
AmLittle lady, you're trembling with fear
Your Cskinny frame kinda resembles a deer
You're sitting Gfacing the detective, oh dear
The meddling Dnurse couldn't D/Cjust leave it
She's only gone and made it much Gworse calling poAmlice in
She'll Amnever know the gravity of the damage she's caused
You're causing sCcandal, going mad in the ward now
The cop is trying to Gcalm you, telling you he won't G/F#let no one harm you
The same Amquestion he keeps trying to ask you 'who're you working for?'
He's Ctalking to like your worth more than a dirty whore
You're having a Gconversation you could be murdered for
You're learning more aDbout exactly why you need to help bring G/F#him or her to court
It's kicking Amknowledge you ain't ever heard before
Just before he leaves, he reassures you that he G/Bknows that it's Chard
He underClines a mobile number you can phone on his card
Begs you to Guse it
He's useless if you're gonna be stupid
'Cause an answer hasn't D/F#come from your bruised lips, you're on your own
AmYou've gotta go and give your pimp what you owe
You reach your door and then it Cdawns that you've been followed home
Before you Gturn around you feel a cold blade on your throat
And then a voice says D/F#'where you been bitch? I wanna know.'
No prizes for Amguessing who it is, resistance would be foolishness
You open the Cfront door, he boots you in
There's something new in him, Ghe's silent now that fills you with terror
D/F#Get your alibi straight, you could be killed for an error
He towers Amover you, the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight
At this point your Clife flashes before your eyes
Your handbags dropped Gand all the contents are all over the floor
Despite the mess there's only D/F#one thing that's caught his eye
And in the Ammoment of rage, he brutally murders his niece
And dumps her Cbody in the boot of his Merc, t's in the street.
Little Glady left this earth in the worst way
All beD/F#cause she got a card on her 13th birthday
[Chorus]
Sung by Ed Sheeran
Em'cause we're all under tCadd9he upper hand
GAnd go mad for a couple of grams
EmAnd she don't want to Cadd9go outside tonightG
'cause Emin a pipe she'll fly to tCadd9he motherland
Or Gsells love to another man
EmIt's too coCadd9ld outsideG
GFor angels to fEmlyC G
GAngels to flyEm
CTo fly, flEmy
GAngels to Emfly, to Dfly, to fEmly
GAngels to dGie
