I'm From A Place Lyrics - Singles - Meridian Dan

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 bass 

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 bass 

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 drugs and guns get here 

Trust me it's a mystery 

Man are in the mob like the goons in Sicily 

Cold ass 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 bass 

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 fucks 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 bass 

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
