Verse 1
Fm
Cm
Fm
Yeah, I was born in Stoke Newington,
Stokey from old city
Cm
Where concrete is over trees and all
dreams get cut and bleed
Fm
Walking free, when I was young
I used to duck and weave
Bb
Cm
Playing up in Clissold Park and laughing
Fm
in that London breeze
'93, I was a three year old
with many schemes
Cm
Junior playing football skills
of Arsenal just like they call me
Fm
Sticker books remember wrestling
Bb
the young'n takin' I was phased
Cm
Used to idolize when he gave
Fm
you a break- up
I was in a nursery making story cakes,
Cm
fell in love
For the first time I remember days
Fm
When I was bullied, beat up,
then kicked and slapped away
Cm
Clutching on the monkey bars
and hoping they'd all go away
Fm
Loved them city sounds and sirens
in the dark at night
Cm
Helicopters fly above my head,
I'd never get a fright
Fm
I loved them early days,
living in that constant noise
Cm
Bustle in my ear was like music
Fm
to this little boy

Every note was now just
some image I'm returning to

What we left behind, my friends,
my cousins, relatives
Cm
My birthplace,
Fm
my first taste of how to live and how to give
Hackney down's playin'
fuses the memories
Cm
Sittin' on the boat,
crying that was all that's meant to be
Fm
I was scared of startin' school
Cm
again; will some be all rude again?
Beat me up and treat me like a fool again.
Fm
The green emerald a thousand
welcomes negative,
Cm
Growin' up a ? an outsider
never settled quick
Fm
Settling was hard when
you're treated like a lump of shit
Cm
Saying you were black and tan
and come for what you fucking did
Fm
But I never did nothing,
told 'em that so many times
Cm
Got in scuffles screamed out loud sayin'
Fm
shit like maybe they were right
I hate that history,
Cm
I hate that Union Jack

I'll never speak for any man or any flag

Sit tin' back, staring through the haze

Fm
Cm
Sittin' back, staring through the haze
of that road on that beaten child
Fm
It was like I'm in a beast of a lion
Cm
and me peacefully dying
I had no friends that I could ever rely on
Fm
I was sittin' back, watchin' through the haze of
Cm
that road on that beaten child
But keeping that evil intact
I put the beat to track
Fm
Found freedom, found out
Cm
I could be myself,
I'll find my world through my roots back
Fm

I never wanted to adapt or in fact
take an action over night
That for years they told
me "Fuck facts"
