Martin’s Sofa

Martins place holds a lot of memories, this song talks us through Headies thoughts and memories. Obviously I can’t mind read or understand all that he is saying but this is the ‘movie’ my mind played from the lyrics. My own take on Martin’s sofa.

He’s driving a bang up car that basic as fuck with a seatbelt that doesn’t fasten, left back door is forever stuck close and one pothole away from the the car being a write off. It gets him on the motorway to where his final destination is though, martins home. Some may call it a trap house but we call it a bando, drugs are definitely involved. Bad life events left Headie feeling like he lost everything and feelings stressed trying to figure out the next step while sitting on the sofa that is at martins . That sofa saw him through the lows and the hight such as after his first show that done AMAZING. Martins home is the hub of Headies current job and it means staying at the depot for a while, sleeping on that same sofa. After working hard at his other craft, music, he is now famous and he hopes it stays this way and not being forced to go back to his default life, sorting out drugs and drug runs, from martins sofa.

He even works, on martins sofa, on his birthday and his birthday wish to make more money from cocaine. There is no weed at martins house as it’s not that kind of drug den. It’s boring counting constantly while not being high though. It goes round in cycles because once the drug user comes and buys the last lot then more can be made to then make more money. With that money he won’t need to be around these people because he will have someone proper drive him around.

He is claiming his intentions are good, if it was just about drugs he could make it bigger but it’s about keeping it ticking while he funds and works on his bigger plan. Buuuut…. The Crown Prosecution Service wanted Headie to get convicted with attempted murder. Eeek.

His friends see him on the up with music but still making those trips to Martins they have to ask, why are you out there making money like that? He says that he would rather go prison for selling drugs than a gun charge, if he was to get caught, because it’s less time. His music plan can still work if he is away for a shorter time. He has to be careful because courts are giving out sentences like crazy. Going to prison constantly for stupid things (or he’s being sexist by claiming women are acting foolish. I hope not)

He’s an ‘out there boy’ doing his plans to make money publicly but it’s different when he comes to the hood because he will fuck shit up. His friend got 8 years for having a gun with him, lucky no bullets but now he has to sit around in prison until he is free. Just walking through Haringey with a hammer he will easily donk on your head but to police he is just simply walking to do some diy at a loved ones home.

Keeping his education going while making money caught up with him. He was planning on doing Monday – Friday college and then hustling at the weekends, going to different county’s to earn money, but it over-lapsed and he didn’t go to college as much.

Dad was toxic and always told Headie he was useless. Bad parenting. Well DAD, if he was that useless how could he make a lot of money in Scotland on his first day travelling from the bando.

One of his bando minions came up with some bullshit about something happening causing him to lose a package of cocaine. Headie hardly had anything left and needs to get more product. He’s in the taxi, with a gun to tell this guy don’t chat shit with lies, just sort it out and get the drugs now! He lied and said all is ok, let’s just meet up at martins sofa after the guy gets all stuff he can. Remember that gun with him in the taxi, well its with Headie on martins sofa with the guy who stole the cocaine.

Oh dear, so much has been done on that sofa it’s crazy.

Headie has daily contact with cocaine, MDMA etc but he really doesn’t want to to prison for 30 years because of it. He wants to save up £30,000 and buy a watch.

He wants the drug depot days to be over but the newspaper always capture his ways and shows the world. It reminds him he is still in it too. Because of his track record if he gets caught by the police he won’t get bail, straight to prison. It’s an unsettled like and the bando aka Martins sofa is nasty, messy and smelly from the cooking. It makes him smell and the girls are not into that stench. It’s the real trenches smell and that’s not attractive.

Headie admits he does not like to lose, he doesn’t like to fail either so if it wasn’t for a song doing well, he would of quite the whole music thing as it didn’t feel it was getting him anywhere. He wasn’t making money from it but the more shows he got he couldn’t sell drugs as he was too busy.

Martins sofa has been through a lot, including private moments with a woman while Martin was not around so doesn’t know.

(The ding-dong bait, no insurance)

( I put a two and a blue with magic, I made is assemble like the avengers) I don’t know what he means by these two lyrics at all. Does anyone?
