[Chorus] I come from Brixton, I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me I come from Brixton baby I come from Brixton [Verse 1: Ty] Born and raised from the days when it wasn't safe to gaze Cause some people had their ways (Brixton) Reggae music was the heartbeat Loud music hear the car beat Showper[?] gripping angels in their push chairs Head ties, head scarves, different footwear (Brixton) Blue jeans is the uniform Pretty girls walking 'round like unicorns Unaware of the beauty Getting judged by the chest or the size of their booty We are many colors, cultures and others We don't all mix but we blend with each other In this funny little matrix we call home Where you learn to really watch your tone Or guard your phone The relationship with popo is so-so God help you with your coco, it's loco [Chorus] I come from Brixton, I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me Phase one, phase two, or phase three [Verse 2: Ty] You're either rich or struggling gracefully In a place far from make-believe Hair braids and we Maybe it's maybelline Hard nights for the days between There is a sunshine built with us In the faces of those still with us Take-away plus destiny delivers Here today, gone tomorrow many rivers Folks cuttin' coconuts in the summer Watch your back, youths might do a runner Run up on you doing dumb shit or dumber Might catch a black eye from your mama Families of all shapes or sizes Wearing intricate but great disguises Well aware of how grey the sky is Watch yourself, we don't play surprise surprises [Chorus] I come from Brixton, I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me Phase one, phase two, or phase three I come from Brixton, I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me I come from Brixton baby [Verse 3: MPHO] African made, Brixton raised So I'm still a little feisty, South London baby Though this gift will take me to travel afar Took me out the ends but begins in my heart See y'all been around the world and not come back Though you see me in the village like the new bougie black It's this village that raised me It just keeps on changin' And I'm trying to keep up with this race I'm racin' Fighting to grow so we don't get stuck And my mom will let you know that it was more than luck Cause the streets do call and some do fall But we rise up to do it for love Keep eyes up, cause it comes from above And when we don't have a lot You know the love is enough I do it for you, I do it for me I do it cause we, Brixton baby [Chorus] I come from Brixton, I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me Phase one, phase two, or phase three I come from Brixton I come from Brixton baby Born and raised, you never see, still amaze me I come from Brixton baby I come from Brixton
