Brixton to Bow by The Manor Lyrics
[Intro: Jonny Dutch]
These are the sounds of our London
Right from the top of the Shard to the dungeon
From the high road straight to the junction
Dizzed out raves cultural functions
Seen way too much of the have got mores
Spend our lives tryna even the score
Get that score spend it all on a draw
Shit don't change we all know the score
Trap sittin' on the road five nil down
Hoe looking bird saying I'm still down
20 pence short in the shop
And forgot that the worlds gone mad
Now every penny counts
Sera, que sera sera
Can't afford a full pint make that a half
We graft, then we laugh
Then ask why we all care if it ain' gonna last
[Chorus: Jonny Dutch]
From Brixton to Bow
Down New Cross them know
Wood Green and Grove
And up Wooly Road
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
Down Croydon and Penge
All Sout' London ends
Come mek we tek this one over the Thames
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
[Verse 2: Danny Graft]
These days see the times all changin'
Funs all done everyone's still raving
Rant and rave about the new craving
Plenty nice Stans don't know anyone dating
Anyone's anyone got em on your Twitter
Ain't got a pint and ya boat quite bitter
While the weather get shitter
Dogs getting more pissed off with the litter
Wake up, make up 'nother cuppa splosh
Rat race chasing the winner is the dosh
Don't know why I'm at a loss
Some guys do it all their life for a slosh
Noones got more mates on your Facebook
Fakes imitate any bait with a great look
Price one a pint on a nights outrageous
Still ain't stayed in in like ages
[Jonny Dutch]
Cah dem can't keep a good man down
Always keep a smile when they want me to frown
Mi keep the vibes and I stood my ground
They will never, ever, ever take my crown
Cah who Jah bless I say no man curse
Things getting better when them thought it would be worse
Here come the officer asking for a search
They found no weapon just only a draw o' 'erbs
[Chorus: Jonny Dutch]
From Brixton to Bow
Down New Cross them know
Wood Green and Grove
And up Wooly Road
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
Down Croydon and Penge
All Sout' London ends
Come mek we tek this one over the Thames
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
[Bridge: Jonny Dutch]
These are the sounds of our London
It's what we leave fi de youts when we're long gone
These are the sounds of our London
It's what we leave fi de youts when we're long gone
When the mandem a rollup lef up the drink cah we nah stay sober
When the mandem a rollup lef up the drink cah we nah stay sober
When the mandem a rollup lef up the drink cah we nah stay sober
When the mandem a rollup, yeh-ay
[Sample]
Well, first of all, we teach them about self-conduct, self-value
So that they can be able to know who they are, where they are coming from and just where they'll end up
But if they don't know who they are and where they're from then they're lost
[Chorus: Jonny Dutch]
From Brixton to Bow
Down New Cross them know
Wood Green and Grove
And up Wooly Road
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
Down Croydon and Penge
All Sout' London ends
Come mek we tek this one over the Thames
Mi say rise up
Jah know you hav' fi' keep the vibes up
[Skit: Jonny Dutch & Danny Graft]
