Tonart: F# minor•
Verse 1
Bm
F#m
Bm
Yeah, I was born in Stoke Newington,
Stokey from old city
F#m
Where concrete is over trees and all
dreams get cut and bleed
Bm
Walking free, when I was young
I used to duck and weave
E
F#m
Playing up in Clissold Park and laughing
Bm
in that London breeze
'93, I was a three year old
with many schemes
F#m
Junior playing football skills
of Arsenal just like they call me
Bm
Sticker books remember wrestling
E
the young'n takin' I was phased
F#m
Used to idolize when he gave
I was in a nursery making story cakes,
For the first time I remember days
Bm
When I was bullied, beat up,
then kicked and slapped away
F#m
Clutching on the monkey bars
and hoping they'd all go away
Bm
Loved them city sounds and sirens
in the dark at night
F#m
Helicopters fly above my head,
I'd never get a fright
Bm
I loved them early days,
living in that constant noise
F#m
Bustle in my ear was like music
Verse 2
F#m
Sometimes we go and forget where we
came from
And we don't know
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
F#m
Yeah, we don't know
Verse 3
Bm
July '94, we packed up
and closed the door
F#m
Every note was now just
some image I'm returning to
Bm
What we left behind, my friends,
my cousins, relatives
Bm
my first taste of how to live and how to give
Hackney down's playin'
fuses the memories
F#m
Sittin' on the boat,
crying that was all that's meant to be
Bm
I was scared of startin' school
F#m
again; will some be all rude again?
Beat me up and treat me like a fool again.
Bm
The green emerald a thousand
welcomes negative,
F#m
Growin' up a ? an outsider
never settled quick
Bm
Settling was hard when
you're treated like a lump of shit
F#m
Saying you were black and tan
and come for what you fucking did
Bm
But I never did nothing,
told 'em that so many times
F#m
Got in scuffles screamed out loud sayin'
Bm
shit like maybe they were right
I hate that history,
F#m
I hate that Union Jack
Verse 4
I'll never speak for any man or any flag
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
And we don't know
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
A
F#m
Yeah, we don't know
Verse 5
Bm
F#m
Sit tin' back, star ing through the haze
of that road on that beaten child
Bm
F#m
Sittin' back, staring through the haze
of that road on that beaten child
Bm
It was like I'm in a beast of a lion
F#m
and me peacefully dying
I had no friends that I could ever rely on
Bm
I was sittin' back, watchin' through the haze of
F#m
that road on that beaten child
But keeping that evil intact
I put the beat to track
Bm
Found freedom, found out
F#m
I could be myself,
I'll find my world through my roots back
Bm
F#m
I never wanted to adapt or in fact
take an action over night
That for years they told
me "Fuck facts"
Bm
F#m
Verse 6
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
And we don't know
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
Bm
F#m
And we don't know
Bm
F#m
Bm
F#m
Bm
Sometimes we go and forget
F#m
where we came from
