Lambeth

Lyrics

[Intro] South west shit S west shit Nahmsaying S [Chorus] I grew up in Lambeth Them times I was still in my school clothes First time that I held me the hand ting, nobody weren't giving man hand outs It was hammers and goods we handling How we go from skipping them lectures To the tuna cans on the landings Any time that the mash get brandished, they wanna blame that shit on my family Cah' we grew up in Lambeth, sweets by the corner shop not candy Half terms I was doing up extra time that's Charlie Sheen and Mandy Had to kill two packs in the car like Suge now the reload looking like Zangief [Verse 1] Spent my last few bills on a motor, told 'em hurry and buy I'm way to high ain't come for a quota Me and bro had the face off Nokia, sis let me stump with the flip Motorola Little man with the sword like Yoda Never came home when I learnt 'bout yola Flat night caps and the gap and the rack go [unknown] for my tracksuits We was on nothing but wass them time there Bashy made a song 'bout black yutes In the hallways nothing but wrestling then it was green like hulk not Hogan Couldn't handle me in my college, I was a dad for the kids like Logan Done bootings up tooting cut more trees in a park in Streatham One call tell the big man send it Tryna do it like Becks and bend it Got five ex links up Croydon, I ain't gotta block them I just avoid 'em Got a sweet one, ivy poison, keep turning up to my yard like boydem [Chorus] I grew up in Lambeth Them times I was still in my school clothes First time that I held me the hand ting, nobody weren't giving man hand outs It was hammers and goods we handling How we go from skipping them lectures To the tuna cans on the landings Any time that the mash get brandished, they wanna blame that shit on my family Cah' we grew up in Lambeth, sweets by the corner shop not candy Half terms I was doing up extra time that's Charlie Sheen and Mandy Had to kill two packs in the car like Suge now the reload looking like Zangief [Verse 2] My ancestors picked more cotton than Fern So don't ask 'bout the steel it burns Had two cats on the hill like [unknown] So much my green cause my brudda done farm Wild summer days with my cuzzy in 'Nam Go pro beat O's for the garms Fam had a link up east for the arms [Verse 3] I seen so much guns in Stockwell Used to test em out on trees the Rotty came long then you know that we chop well All the South London gangs in the park that's country show in Brockwell Then its hard dough bread and jerk and run cause the beef ain't nothing but ox tail (Cah' we grew up in Lambeth) That's council houses pipes and needles drugs outstanding So much talented yout its a shame everyone can't drink from the fountain I been a man before mixtapes found me a hill then I made me a mountain I used to kick ball in Brixton rec' Truth be told I'm a Brixton rep Sipping on rum with a brick and a [uknown] Alize on my [uknown] That's way before I knew about Henny Had a ting round the block like Jenny And a big body one from Kenny [Chorus] I grew up in Lambeth Them times I was still in my school clothes First time that I held me the hand ting, nobody weren't giving man hand outs It was hammers and goods we handling How we go from skipping them lectures To the tuna cans on the landings Any time that the mash get brandished, they wanna blame that shit on my family Cah' we grew up in Lambeth, sweets by the corner shop not candy Half terms I was doing up extra time that's Charlie Sheen and Mandy Had to kill two packs in the car like Suge now the reload looking like Zangief
