Meridian Dan - I'm From A Place lyrics

Hook; I'm from a place where man do crime From a bit where man buss case From an ends where man don't care what your name is Us man don't watch face I'm from the hood I spray grime In love with the kick and ba** Some can't understand the bars I spray on the tune They can't keep up with the pace I'm from a place where man do crime From a part you think is rough From a bit where kids wanna be like Jay Z Or Biggie and Puff From the ends that get no love When a lot of the kids have heart Ambitions and dreams But don't have a chance Verse 1; I know that I'm not from Compton But my road ain't like Brompton So when I went for my job interview I realised I had a problem Cos I never went to Eton The address on my CV's Tottenham But is that a reason To put me in a box like Bronson Man all wanna be like Branson And drink Dom Pérignon not Lanson Like N-Dubz from Camdem I wanna share success with the mandem Like the man that know about Bobby and Bo And man that know about Samson For them kind of man I make room in the phantom Not some dudes that I met at Random Hook; I'm from a place where man do crime From a bit where man buss case From an ends where man don't care what your name is Us man don't watch face I'm from the hood I spray grime In love with the kick and ba** Some can't understand the bars I spray on the tune They can't keep up with the pace I'm from a place where man do crime From a part you think is rough From a bit where kids wanna be like Jay Z Or Biggie and Puff From the ends that get no love When a lot of the kids have heart Ambitions and dreams But don't have a chance Verse 2; I'm from a place where making money is risky Man roll with Po like Dipsy Some lick shots all day but you can't make p When I knows it 2.50 I don't know how the d** and guns get here Trust me it's a mystery Man are in the mob like the goons in Sicily Cold a** men in the iceberg history Still I want to be successful A hard knock life is stressful You just wanna look fly in your rental You wanna be fly drink Red Bull I'm on a grown up ting As strong as on Ox but gentle Any of you lot violate me Man a go man a go man a go mental Hook; Im from a place where man do crime From a bit where man buss case From an ends where man dont care what your name is Us man dont watch face Im from the hood i spray grime In love with the kick and ba** Some cant understand the bars i spray on the tune They cant keep up with the pace Im from a place where man do crime From a part you think is rough From a bit where kids wanna be like Jay Z Or Biggie and Puff From the ends that get no love When a lot of the kids have heart Ambitions and dreams But dont have a chance Verse 3; I'm from a place where kids have dreams But don't know the ways or means To put things together so it all makes sense Like two bits of toast and beans They've seen more drama than the stage These kids act too big for their age They just wanna get paid Not by working for miniumum wage If they could see a clear path in front And get a chunk at the end of the month I'm from the street it's not a hunch These kids don't wanna deal in punk These are the kids that sum four deen Cos there wearing a hood and jeans Some of these kids are just fourteen And it f**s with their self-esteem Hook; I'm from a place where man do crime From a bit where man buss case From an ends where man don't care what your name is Us man don't watch face I'm from the hood I spray grime In love with the kick and ba** Some can't understand the bars I spray on the tune They can't keep up with the pace I'm from a place where man do crime From a part you think is rough From a bit where kids wanna be like Jay Z Or Biggie and Puff From the ends that get no love When a lot of the kids have heart Ambitions and dreams But don't have a chance
