Brixton Lyrics

[Intro]
Born in a place that don't know me, Brixton, Brixton
One-half of the roots of my family tree, Brixton, Brixton
When I reach you, it's like you're in my bones, Brixton, Brixton
How could you lose something that you never known? Brixton, Brixton

[Chorus]
Born in a place that don't know me, Brixton, Brixton
One-half of the roots of my family tree, Brixton, Brixton
When I reach you, it's like you're in my bones, Brixton, Brixton
How could you lose something that you never known? Brixton, Brixton

[Verse 1]
Uh, nah, I don't really know my name, black man, see-saw and sugar cane
Got cut away but I sleep on the pain, Ali ego, but life's like Sugar Ray
Long time been a man of the place, nah man, I ain't been a man of the faith
[?] bass, that's always but I left suttin' in me in Tulse Hill estate
So I say

[Chorus]
I was born in a place that don't know me, Brixton, Brixton
One-half of the roots of my family tree, Brixton, Brixton
When I reach you, it's like you're in my bones, Brixton, Brixton
How could you lose something that you never known? Brixton, Brixton

[Interlude]
It's another life
How can we be so close and so far at the same time?

[Verse 2] Nah, it weren't easy, I felt them scars like, "Rah, how could I be taken apart so early?"
One-half split from my half like dark and light, still carve them a heart, my path settle down now
Bro, no hopes, come a long, come a long, long way, but a wrong's still a wrong
Now I see more clear like my view's Evian, Blackman Santana sippin' from
But Blackman still rage from very young in a cage in the war
And sure, never won, never will be, we'll see if they're ever done, still swing for the world with the Falcon Punch
Yes son, my roots run deep, that's mum still, when I come back, brick, it's a sticky one
Feel suttin' mad in my chest that's strong, started in a place that I don't come from

[Chorus]
I was born in a place that don't know me, Brixton, Brixton
One-half of the roots of my family tree, Brixton, Brixton
When I reach you, it's like you're in my bones, Brixton, Brixton
How could you lose something that you never known? Brixton, Brixton

Born in a place that don't know me, Brixton, Brixton
One-half of the roots of my family tree, Brixton, Brixton
When I reach you, it's like you're in my bones, Brixton, Brixton
How could you lose something that you never known? Brixton, Brixton
