Dream Big

Grew up fast in a place unknown (unknown)
Four walls but the place ain't home (it ain't home)
Terrified for my life sometimes (sometimes)
Especially when my dear mummy ain't home (oh no)
Big dreams sat swirling in my head (in my head)
Big dreams, big boy, small bed (small bed)
Wanna share 'em all but the last time I did (oh)
I learnt some things are better left unsaid
So you can read Karl Marx
'Till you're blue in the face (excuse your face)
If you've never left the house with a tool by your waist (never)
And your shoes tightly laced, cos the feds might give chase (run)
Selling anything you can to put some food on your plate
While the older kids are on the corner joyriding and burning cars
I was learning life the hard way selling holes in hearts
Don't you chat to me about the rising of the working class
It's long overdue I know, but we're too busy working hard

Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Show them, say your culture is your root
And don't shun the talent of the children

Warm souls occupy a cold flat
New shoes, new coat, old hat
Seen it all and I won't go back
Nah, been there, yeah I done that
Ooh, big dreams sat swelling in my head
Big dreams, big boy, big bed
Wanna share 'em all but the last time I did
I learnt some things are better left unsaid
Cos where I come from we lock our dreams in a box
Pedal back and forth all day and tuck our jeans in our socks
Pray the alphabet is full and all our Ps don't get robbed
Where everybody bears a cross but barely believes in god
You see it's hard sometimes, but we make it somehow
And if we can't make it then we'll take it, give it now
Hand it over little buddy, all my dreaming is on scheming
I'm an angel in the daytime but I'll kill you in the evening

Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)

Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
Dream big kid, kid dream big (dream big)
They said you can't do it, that's cos they never did
