Intro: |             |            |            |          | (play the last chord in each measure fleetingly to seque to the next bar) verse 1: (Rapped by Mikill Pane) Listen Little lady this is just the worst way to spend your birthday It’s 30 degrees Thursday You work late you was with a perv making dirty fake love in his Mercedes Lady the word ’rape’ sums up events that take place every night You wanna get up but you know your legs will ache if you try And you remember that your punter went crazy last night You drag yourself to the mirror to check your face then you cry Forget the visit to the clinic you were booked in for You’ll make a trip to the Whittington where they’ll look at your jaw They’ll be inquisitive and ask about your business for sure They’ll know your fibbing if you tell them you got hit by a door But young woman The pimp sees you as nothing but a dumb hooker Medical attention could be fatal ’Cause the cunt wouldn’t ever let a doctor near someone that’s getting dough for him ’Cause next you got poxy authorities sticking their noses in ’cause she’s just under the upper hand And goes mad for a couple of grams And she don’t wanna go outside tonight ’cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland and Sell love to another man It’s too cold outside   For angels to fly           Angels to fly           verse 2: (Rapped by Mikill Pane) Little lady your mind you’ve made up Your injuries you can’t hide with make-up You need some medical advice you make up A little lie to say just In case the doc opens his eyes and don’t decide to play dumb With any luck you’ll see the same dude who stitched your top lip Last year when your pimp just lost it He wouldn’t recognise you if you stared him in the face anyway ’Cause all the heroin is making you age But you’re a heroine for taking the strain of being a prostitute and punching bag The funds you have left go where you’re from using Moneygram Mother had to get you out the motherland to study That was all she struggled to have a single daughter with the upper hand Little does she know you’re never coming back She put you in her brother’s hand only for him to formulate another plan He’s the fucking cause of your appalling state this summer Fancy that you came to London to get pimped by your Uncle damn. ’cause she’s just under the upper hand And goes mad for a couple of grams And she don’t wanna go outside tonight ’cause in a pipe she flies to the motherland and Sell love to another man It’s too cold outside   For angels to fly Now an angel will die Covered in white With closed eyes and hoping for a better life This time we’ll fade out tonight Straight down the line Instrumental - Guitar Solo: u>     verse 3: (Rapped by Mikill Pane) Little lady you’re trembling with fear Your skinny frame kinda resembles a deer You’re sitting facing the detective oh dear The meddling nurse couldn’t just leave it She’s only gone and made it much worse calling police in She’ll never know the gravity of the damage she’s caused You’re causing scandal going mad in the ward now The cop is trying to calm you telling you he won’t let no one harm you The same question he keeps trying to ask you ’who’re you working for?’ He’s talking to like your worth more than a dirty whore You’re having a conversation you could be murdered for You’re learning more about exactly why you need to help bring him or her to court It’s kicking knowledge you ain’t ever heard before Just before he leaves he reassures you that he knows that it’s hard He underlines a mobile number you can phone on his card Begs you to use it He’s useless if you’re gonna be stupid ’Cause an answer hasn’t come from your bruised lips you’re on your own You’ve gotta go and give your pimp what you owe You reach your door and then it dawns that you’ve been followed home Before you turn around you feel a cold blade on your throat And then a voice says ’where you been bitch? I wanna know.’ No prizes for guessing who it is resistance would be foolishness You open the front door he boots you in There’s something new in him he’s silent now that fills you with terror Get your alibi straight you could be killed for an error He towers over you the 6 inch knife catches the sunlight At this point your life flashes before your eyes Your handbags dropped and all the contents are all over the floor Despite the mess there’s only one thing that’s caught his eye And in the moment of rage he brutally murders his niece And dumps her body in the boot of his Merc t’s in the street. Little lady left this earth in the worst way All because she got a card on her 13th birthday Chorus: ’cause we’re all under the upper hand And go mad for a couple of grams And she don’t want to go outside tonight    ’cause in a pipe she’ll fly to the motherland Or sells love to another man It’s too cold outside           For angels to fly                    Angels to fly   To fly fly Angels to fly to fly to fly Angels to die

La chanson aborde la dure réalité de la vie d'une jeune femme piégée dans un cycle de violence et d'exploitation. Elle décrit les terribles épreuves qu'elle endure, souffrant tant physiquement que mentalement, tout en étant contrainte de se livrer à des actes qu'elle n'a pas choisis. L'histoire dépeint un monde où la vulnérabilité et la peur prennent le pas sur l'espoir, montrant comment des décisions tragiques peuvent mener à des conséquences désastreuses. Le contexte évoque des thèmes de souffrance, de désespoir et de dépendance, illustrant l'impact de la pauvreté et des abus sur la vie d'une jeune femme. Les relations toxiques et l'absence de soutien la poussent vers une impasse, compliquant davantage sa situation déjà précaire. Ce récit poignant attire l’attention sur des réalités trop souvent ignorées.
