Lambeth

[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
