Where It All Started

Lyrics

[Intro] I remember where it all started.. I remember where it all started.. Yeah, ha ha Yeah, I remember when it all started Can you remember where it all started? Ya, I remember when it all started, ya Yeah.. [Verse 1] It all started when I was fourteen Listening to Westwood Cassette in the recorder before it turnеd digital Before 1Xtra, beforе I even picked up the mic I was listening to Cipha Sounds on a Friday night Phoning up to hear my voice on radio Like, 'it sounds all right!' I was just a little kid falling in love with hip-hop Ninety-five was the.. yeah [Hook] I remember where it all started.. Can you remember where it all started? I remember where it all started Yeah Eyo, Prism, yea, yea [Verse 1] It all started when I was fourteen Listening to Westwood Cassette in the recorder before it turned digital Before 1Xtra, before I even picked up the mic I was listening to Cipha Sounds on a Friday night Phoning up to hear my voice on radio Like, 'it sounds all right!' I was just a little kid falling in love with hip-hop Ninety-five was the shit, blud Slick Rick or Pharcyde was my favourite And you know what I used to jet down west to buy my vinyls from Deal Real Probably the old shop, [?] [?] [?], remember them? Playin' me the new shit I used to love it when I got home with a bag of new vinyl Uh, I fell in love with my decks Girls used to wish for that kind of respect But icin' taught 'em cos back then All I ever needed was my Walkman I'm talkin' old-school, before Jade Goody Before they gave us ASBOs, before we was hoodies [Chorus] Yeah, do you remember where it all started? In the playgrounds of school classes I remember where it all started In the park, in my yard wearing nerd glasses Yeah, do you remember where it all started? I had a buck tooth and side parting I remember where it all started Don't look around like "br'er, what's gwaanin?" [Verse 2] I remember where it all started Six mates making mixtapes In my mum's yard I used to kick off She used to get pissed off Bare agony yard gettin' lick off I met [?] and knew what I had to do Get a fat catalog and big bag of tunes Me and Plan B done the Camden youth workshops Did our first shows and got bare nervous Ha ha, little Mike was there too I'm gettin' restless fam, I can still hear you Laughing and joking, cussing and cursing But back then we were some hip-hop virgins Then I met some funky looking bredders All the way they turned out to be the Foreign Beggars Now look where we are; Dented Records got the vinyl in the back of the car Now we recorded where The Beatles recorded Mashed up Glastonbury And done shows from Europe back to Portsmouth Yeah, now we top of the scene And I ain't watching what you're doin' But you're watching my team, raa I guess the tables have turned The industry ain't easy but we're makin' it work So when I feel like I'm surrounded by bastards I close my eyes and remember where it all started [Chorus] Yeah, do you remember where it all started? In the playgrounds of school classes I remember where it all started In the park, in my yard wearing nerd glasses Yeah, do you remember where it all started? I had a buck tooth and side parting I remember where it all started Don't look around like "br'er, what's gwaanin?"
