Sometimes Lyrics - Lonely Are The Brave - Maverick Sabre

Yeah, I was born in Stoke Newington, Stokey from old city 

Where concrete is over trees and all dreams get cut and bleed 

Walking free, when I was young I used to duck and weave 

Playing up in Clissold Park and laughing in that London breeze 

'93, I was a three year old with many schemes 

Junior playing football skills of Arsenal just like they call me 

Sticker books remember wrestling the young'n takin' I was phased 

Used to idolize when he gave you a break-up 

I was in a nursery making story cakes, feeling love 

For the first time I remember days 

When I was bullied, beat up, then kicked and slapped away 

Clutching on the monkey bars and hoping they'd all go away 

Loved them city sounds and sirens in the dark at night 

Helicopters fly above my head, I'd never get afraid 

I loved them early days, living in that constant noise 

Bustle in my ear was like music to this little boy

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Yeah, we don't know 

July '94, we packed up and closed the door 

Every note was now just some image I'm returning to 

What we left behind, my friends, my cousins, relatives 

My birthplace, my first taste of how to live and how to give 

Hackney down's playin' fuses the memories 

Sittin' on the boat, crying that was all that's meant to be 

I was scared of startin' school again; will some be all rude again? 

Beat me up and treat me like a fool again. 

The green emerald a thousand welcomes negative, 

Growin' up a constant outsider never settled quick 

Settling was hard when you're treated like a lump of sh*t 

Saying you were black and tan, account for what you f*cking did 

But I never did nothing, told 'em that so many times 

Got in scuffles screamed out loud sayin' sh*t like they were right 

I hate that history, I hate that Union Jack 

I'll never speak for any man or any flag

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Yeah, we don't know 

Sittin' back, staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track 

Sittin' back, staring through the haze of that road on that beaten track 

It was like I'm in a beast of a lion and me peacefully dying 

But I had no friends I could ever rely on 

I was sittin' back, watchin' through the haze of that road on that beaten track 

But keeping that evil intact 

I put the beat to track 

Found freedom, found out 

I could be myself, and find my world through my roots back 

I never wanted to adapt or in fact take an action or an act 

That for years they told me "F*ck facts" 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Yeah, we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Sometimes we go and forget where we came from 

And we don't know 

Yeah, we don't know
