Yeah I was born in Stoke Newington Stokey from old city[00:00:10]
Where concrete is over trees and all dreams get cut and bleed[00:00:13]
Walking free when I was young I used to duck and weave[00:00:16]
Playing up in Clissold Park and laughing in that London breeze[00:00:19]
‘93 I was a three year old with many schemes[00:00:22]
Junior playing football skills of Arsenal just like they call me[00:00:24]
Sticker books remember wrestling the young’n takin’ I was phased[00:00:27]
Used to idolize when he gave you a break-up[00:00:30]
I was in a nursery making story cakes feeling love[00:00:32]
For the first time I remember days[00:00:35]
When I was bullied beat up then kicked and slapped away[00:00:37]
Clutching on the monkey bars and hoping they’d all go away[00:00:40]
Loved them city sounds and sirens in the dark at night[00:00:43]
Helicopters fly above my head I’d never get afraid[00:00:45]
I loved them early days living in that constant noise[00:00:48]
Bustle in my ear was like music to this little boy[00:00:50]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:00:54]
And we don’t know[00:00:57]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:00:59]
And we don’t know[00:01:03]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:01:04]
And we don’t know[00:01:08]
Yeah we don’t know[00:01:11]
July ‘94 we packed up and closed the door[00:01:14]
Every note was now just some image I’m returning to[00:01:17]
What we left behind my friends my cousins relatives[00:01:19]
My birthplace my first taste of how to live and how to give[00:01:21]
Hackney down’s playin’ of memories[00:01:24]
Sittin’ on the boat crying that was all that’s meant to be[00:01:27]
I was scared of startin’ school again; will some be all rude again [00:01:30]
Beat me up and treat me like a fool again [00:01:33]
Growin’ up a outside and never settle quick[00:01:35]
When you’re treated like a lump of sh*t[00:01:37]
Saying you were black and time to account for what you f*cking did[00:01:39]
But I never did nothing told ‘em that so many times[00:01:43]
Screamed out loud sayin’ sh*t like they were right[00:01:48]
I hate that history I hate that Union Jack[00:01:52]
I’ll never speak for any man or any flag[00:01:54]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:01:57]
And we don’t know[00:02:01]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:02:02]
And we don’t know[00:02:06]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:02:07]
And we don’t know[00:02:11]
Yeah we don’t know[00:02:14]
Sittin’ back staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track[00:02:17]
Sittin’ back staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track[00:02:23]
It was like I’m in a beast of a lion and me peacefully dying[00:02:28]
But I had no friends I could ever rely on[00:02:31]
I was sittin’ back watchin’ through the haze of that road on that beaten track[00:02:33]
But keeping that evil intact[00:02:37]
I put the beat to track[00:02:39]
Found freedom found out[00:02:40]
I could be myself and find my world through my roots back[00:02:41]
I never wanted to adapt or in fact take an action or an act[00:02:44]
That for years they told me "F*ck facts"[00:02:46]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:02:50]
And we don’t know[00:02:54]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:02:55]
And we don’t know[00:02:59]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:03:00]
And we don’t know[00:03:04]
Yeah we don’t know[00:03:07]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:03:11]
And we don’t know[00:03:14]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:03:16]
And we don’t know[00:03:20]
Sometimes we go and forget where we came from[00:03:21]
And we don’t know[00:03:25]
Yeah we don’t know[00:03:28]
