Verse One
Yo', me and my older Brother were trouble
So we had pack our bags on the double and relocate four miles away
East London where the skies are grey
The year was ninety-two, or ninety-tre, I can’t remember
Here’s your new bedroom, me and my Bro walked in two-by-two
I put my bag down, coat off, removed my shoes
No bunk for Funk, we had to share a double-bed as teenagers
My Pops sent us down to the local retailer to get him cigarettes
But we were under age, watching Rambo and Schwarzenegger flix all day
We had a fridge in our room stacked with Coca-Cola, 7-Up
This was like a dream come true
I had a Step-Mom and didn’t really pay her no mind
Because she didn’t really pay us no mind and that was fine
I used to see my Dad on weekends, but now I see my Mom on weekends
My world’s turned upside-down at each end, and I’mma have to live with it
Hackney used to be my home and now I’m just a little bit further out
But it’s the price that you pay when you’re only fourteen and you have no say…
(mutha)
Verse Two
Even though I moved yo' I didn’t change schools
Now the journey’s much longer
Had a few routes to choose from to get there, get back
When I reflect back to the days of grey trousers, blue shirt
Jet black sweater with a crest on the left breast, less rest
Mom had four now there’s two gone, less stress
All around the time when music was alluring
My Pops used to leave the house at five in the morning
And I would wake up at the very same time
Four hours before nine, I didn’t mind
Cos I would watch a movie before I got ready
By my very last lesson my eyes would get heavy
Got my Teachers telling me I need iron
But underlying was the fact I woke up so early
So I’m trying to stay awake, but I had a new lifestyle
With my Brother and my Father and his Wife who didn’t smile
So welcome to Dennison
Where the lights never go out like Thomas Edison is working on em'
My whole life turned a corner
Especially when both elevators out of order
Now I’m walking up the stairs going…
