Verse 1
(A minor)
(E minor) Yeah, I (A minor) was born in Stoke Newington,
Stokey from old city
(E minor) Where concrete is over trees and all
dreams get cut and bleed
(A minor) Walking free, when I was young
I used to duck and weave
(D major) Playing up in (E minor) Clissold Park and laughing
in that London breeze (A minor)
'93, I was a three year old
with many schemes
(E minor) Junior playing football skills
of Arsenal just like they call me
(A minor) Sticker books remember wrestling
the young'n takin' (D major) I was phased
(E minor) Used to idolize when he gave
you a break- (A minor) up
I was in a nursery making story cakes,
(E minor) fell in love
For the first time I remember days
(A minor) When I was bullied, beat up,
then kicked and slapped away
(E minor) Clutching on the monkey bars
and hoping they'd all go away
(A minor) Loved them city sounds and sirens
in the dark at night
(E minor) Helicopters fly above my head,
I'd never get a fright
(A minor) I loved them early days,
living in that constant noise
(E minor) Bustle in my ear was like music
to this little boy (A minor)
Verse 2
Sometimes we go and forget where we (E minor)
came from
And we don't know
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't (A minor) know
Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know (A minor)
Yeah, we don't know (E minor)

Verse 3
(A minor) July '94, we packed up
and closed the door
(E minor) Every note was now just
some image I'm returning to
(A minor) What we left behind, my friends,
my cousins, relatives
My (E minor) birthplace,
my first taste of how to live (A minor) and how to give
Hackney down's playin'
fuses the memories
(E minor) Sittin' on the boat,
crying that was all that's meant to be
(A minor) I was scared of startin' school
again; will some be (E minor) all rude again?
Beat me up and treat me like a fool again.
(A minor) The green emerald a thousand
welcomes negative,
(E minor) Growin' up a ? an outsider
never settled quick
(A minor) Settling was hard when
you're treated like a lump of shit
(E minor) Saying you were black and tan
and come for what you fucking did
(A minor) But I never did nothing,
told 'em that so many times
(E minor) Got in scuffles screamed out loud sayin'
shit like maybe they were right (A minor)
I hate that history,
I hate that Union Jack (E minor)
Verse 4
I'll never speak for any man or any flag
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't (A minor) know
Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know (A minor)
Yeah, we don't know (G major) (E minor)
Verse 5
(A minor) Sit tin' back, (E minor) staring through the haze
of that road on that beaten child
(A minor) Sittin' back, star (E minor) ing through the haze
of that road on that beaten child
It was (A minor) like I'm in a beast of a lion
and me peacefully dy (E minor) ing
I had no friends that I could ever rely on
I was (A minor) sittin' back, watchin' through the haze of
that road on (E minor) that beaten child
But keeping that evil intact
I put the beat to track
(A minor) Found freedom, found out
(E minor) I could be myself,
I'll find my world through my roots back
(A minor) I never wanted to adapt or in (E minor) fact
take an action over night
That for years they told
me "Fuck facts"
(A minor) (E minor)
Verse 6
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know (A minor) (E minor)
(A minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
(E minor)
(A minor) Sometimes we go and forget
where we (E minor) came from
And we don't know (A minor)
Outro 1
Yeah, we don't know
(E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) (A minor)
(D major) (E minor)
