For a Minute

[Verse 1: Joy Crookes] Chicken shops with £2 tops We're roamin' but can't get enough Eatin' sunshine everyday Accustomed to our South East way Cruisin' in the rainy streets Smokin' cigarettes like sweets Creamy legs in London air Our hands are up but we still care The blades don't turn But you see them from miles and miles And you learn That over here we hide our grief behind smiles And we run around and laugh 'cause that's our style [Chorus: Joy Crookes] Oh, we know It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute Girls can dream, still know It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute, yeah (It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute) (It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute) [Verse 2: Joy Crookes] Tommy, Shaq, Nathan and Mo "Mum, why ain't my brother home?" Cradled by a dozen flowers Streets just took another child Ain't it strange that my home Had closed before it ever opened? Don't you know That over here we hide our grief behind smiles? And we run around and laugh 'cause that's our style [Chorus: Joy Crookes] Oh, we know It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute Girls can dream, still know It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute [Verse 3: KarimThaPeasant, Joy Crookes, Both] There's pain outside There's pain in the art No time for the worst in me (Worst in me) Remember finding the email From the penitentiary that locked up Tariq (Up Tariq) They don't have control on us No, they don't have control on we (On we) They can steal all of our space But if we ain't there then it's cheap [Chorus: Joy Crookes] Oh, we know It's not about where we're livin' (It's not a-) Make the most for a minute (It's not a-) Girls can dream, still know (Girls can dream, still know) It's not about where we're livin' (It's not about where we're livin') Make the most for a minute Oh, ah It's not about where we're livin' (Make the most for a minute) Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (It's not about where we're livin' Make the most for a minute)
