Ms Banks Lyrics
“SOUTH LDN GIRL” by Ms Banks is a storytelling rap track that explores the harsh realities facing young women in South London. Through the tragic stories of Rih and Pam, the song highlights themes of loyalty, street pressure, toxic relationships, crime, and the overlooked impact of mental health—especially within Black communities. With a cautionary hook urging women not to “go astray,” Ms Banks delivers a powerful social commentary on love, survival, systemic neglect, and the devastating consequences of poor choices and unaddressed trauma.

Ms Banks – SOUTH LDN GIRL Lyrics
I, I know you been having your daysAnd I, I know that you want him to stayAnd I, I know things ain’t going your wayBut no, don’t go astray, no no, don’t go astray
There was a girl called Rih, she was just like meLove the finer things in life, LV, GGOn her hustle she would do what was necessaryMake sure she get to the bag and she got to the PThere was a guy called Mike, he was just her typeBad man getting money, he’d do everything rightThought it would be positive when he entered her lifeAll it took was one nightSee he was on the roads, so he had a strapI mean who really else gon’ protect him like thatFeds been on him, couldn’t keep it at his flatSo he asked her if she had a place she could put it atThey already had a baby, he gave her couple stacksBeen paying for her life so she thought to give backWants her to travel with it so she met him at the trapNever thought she’d take a detour on the way backShe got a call from her best friendLike “Yo babe, can you meet me in the West End?””I know Mike already gave you some money to spend””Link me now and we’ll be done about around 10”
“‘Ite, come then”But she couldn’t pretend she weren’t feeling herselfNeeded a break ’cause her mind was really somewhere elseMaybe it was postpartum but she needed helpWhere we’re from, who really checking on their mental health?Shopping done, she took a cab on her way backLeft the house with one, now she got ten bagsBut when she gets to the crib, she only got eightShit, where the other two bags at?Didn’t wanna panic, didn’t know how to reactShe left the bag with the strap in the cabTried to call the driver he already called JakesShe got nicked for the pole before he even made it back
I, I know you been having your daysAnd I, I know that you want him to stayAnd I, I know things ain’t going your wayBut no, don’t go astray, no no, don’t go astray
There was a girl called Pam, it was her and her manThem two against the world and she ain’t give a damnWas known for moving that work, he was selling them gramsHad some issues with the law in and out of the canSee his name was Jack, he never had it like thatHe was used to pissy flats in and out with dem catsIn the slum pecknizzy always where he was atThat was his habitatHe would smoke a lot of weedBut truth is he was probably in needSomeone to take heed, maybe some therapy?Dunno why it’s taboo when we struggle mentallyLike we crying for help but this ain’t telepathyThat’s how it be for black menFeeling all alone like nobody can back themCan’t be bro if he can’t face a problem with youWhen black men are most prone to having mental health issuesSee Pam was on her shit, she had her own bitBut she was staying at her nan’s while her crib got repairedSo Jack was with her too, she thought it was fair’Cause everytime she’s home he was always thereShe thought they’ll both be safe in her nan’s careBut Jack was on the verge, she wasn’t awarePam’s nan would lock the doors when they’re inside’Cause the area they lived in weren’t a vibeJack felt like a hostage, thought they were being snideSo decides nobody ain’t making it out aliveHe went inside the kitchen to grab a knifeLooking Pam in the eye, she knew something weren’t rightHe killed her, her mum, the nan, the dadWeed-induced psychosis, he’s going madFeds called the scene a blood bath when he got grabbedNeighbours said they heard the screams when they got stabbed
I, I know you been having your daysAnd I, I know that you want him to stayAnd I, I know things ain’t going your wayBut no, don’t go astray, no no, don’t go astrayI, I know you been having your daysAnd I, I know that you want him to stayAnd I, I know things ain’t going your wayBut no, don’t go astray, no no, don’t go astray
Love takes getting used toIf she were you, what would you do?If she were you, what would you do?What would you do?Love takes getting used toIf she were you, what would you do?If she were you, what would you do?What would you do?
