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…
