Live in a Place Where... |
| Verse One |
| I now live in a place where I not too long discovered |
| Behind my block is where my Pops first met my Mother |
| Stewart Road, she told me the story of her younger days |
| And everything that happened just before me |
| And I live in a place where there’s too many liquor stores |
| And next door to each other too many chicken stores |
| Gambling establishments, I couldn’t paint the picture more |
| And every day people queue to buy tickets for the lotto |
| In twenty fifteen, September second |
| I bought some tickets, later that night I checked them |
| 09, 27, 29, 33 in my hand |
| Couldn’t believe it cos that night I won seven grand |
| Live in a place where I guess dreams can come true |
| The same place that people suffering from drug abuse |
| The same place that people jump you at the ATM |
| The same place where you can make a friend |
| I live in, live in a place where people know my face |
| But don’t know my name, that’s cool, I love my space |
| I got a nice place, at least on the inside |
| At least that’s what my friends say once they spin by |
| Live in a place where Police presence really low |
| They say they gonna fix that up, but yo' who really knows? |
| They been talking bout' regenerating here for years |
| But everything stays the same and I’m still here… live in a place where… |
| And it’s the place I live |
| And it’s the place that I live |
| And it’s the place I live |
| It’s the place I live |
| Verse Two |
| I live in a place where when I cross the street |
| Immediately it turns from E11 to E15 |
| So I’m just a stone’s throw away from Dennison |
| In a place where most of the time I’m reticent |
| Live in a place where my Pops used to visit me |
| Jump in his car and come through to deliver me |
| The letters that I still used to get from my old address |
| And to check that his Son wasn’t homeless |
| He always used to ask me if I’m managing to find the rent |
| I’d tell him yep, just so long as all this time I spent |
| Working on this music pays off, I’mma be alright |
| And plus I’m free to work at any time I feel like |
| I live in a place that can take some getting used to |
| Cos I ain’t feeling what some of these little youths do |
| But they young, so cognitively they ain’t quite there |
| You could say the way I was that age was quite rare |
| Or maybe not, but it doesn’t really matter now |
| I’m older, I’m wiser, I’m stronger ain’t no backing down |
| I’m growing, I’m climbing, I’m reaching for the very top |
| So life is still sweet, like a cherry drop |
| Live in a place where God loves me |
| And he’s re-tuning me to rediscover me |
| Live in a place where nothing is physical |
| Or geographical, I live a miracle, I live in a place where… |
