Verse 1
Well they’re all not ready
The first three tracks
Are deep and heavy
I can’t lie
The end are very messy
To lighten up the room
We just do a Garage Medley
Make the crowd say Boo
No I don’t know a Betty
A room full of tunes
Hot it up, it’s getting sweaty
Room full of love
Their are friends
There is envy
Dancing next to that boy
Who could have been pro or semi
They said it ain’t true
I seen his shoot
Na it’s deadly
Two finger pose
We were DMX ready
Back then it was just aunty
Doing the Jazeppi
MC’s in the room
On the mic getting tekky
How many did I Kill?
I’ll just state Many many
There’s estate wars
The reasons are empty
Work in JD
Cause it made us feel trendy
People can be bandmind
But many more are friendly
Boy’s got 10 girls
But still calls one a Jezzy, really?

Chorus
I know we had a good time
But my memories hazy
And we don’t wanna keep falling
That’s why we play Sade
And will we ever see change
Well my heart it says maybe
But I know this place made me

Verse 2
It was all about Grime
And though Hip Hop was edgy
Not many did it
But you know me already
Bethnal green hot sauce
First Peri Peri
Nandos everyday
It was unnecessary
Tryna break the cycle
So we play Mary Mary
They’re tryna spill my tea
Even though they haven’t met me
Friends that’s always gossiping
They make me really weary
Used to make friend easily
But now I find it scary
Either way I say this year’s
About to be legendary
These days I’m really into
Making documentaries
done know I was that kid
always singing in assembly
Hitting high notes
I don’t know why I’m an MC
I even did a little bit of dance
And some contemporary
Expressing how I live
And I did it so intensely
I told myself that every situation
Only temporary
Disappointed every year
This time I won’t be leaving empty

Bridge
Now we’ve all changed our plans
You know already
Many tryna rebuild
Outta the debrey
Imma drop these tunes
Yeah they might be rough and ready
But I’ve been making music
Through every adversary
We hung out in the youth club
Their were some in Stepney
Now I look around
And I’m not seeing any
Tryna find solutions
This is my commentary
A kinda biography
So now they can’t forget me

Chorus
I know we had a good time
But my memories hazy
And we don’t wanna keep falling
That’s why we play Sade
And will we ever see change
Well my heart it says maybe
But I know this place made me
