ME4 (council estate) [feat. Shakes]

We went to college in the ME4
Lots in common, everybody's poor, you know
We live it large, but we feel so small
No, we feel so small
We hated school, we just wanted to leave
The real life, they didn't bother to teach
A black hole in the American dream, you know

This is real, it's not fake
No, our problems they don't change
Don't forget this lovely place that we call home
No, it ain't all that bad
Yeah, we got each other's backs
Don't forget this promise land that we call home

Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down
Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down

They say, "Home's where the heart is"
Well, it's where my heart is
Young G grew up in the ends from way back
Seen some stuff, can't call a man childish
These Council estates familiar with, and chillin' in the parks
Is how we're brought up, now gang more up
Celebrate when the times were the hardest (it's mad)

Soon be a artist
It still in my head, I'ma kid from the block
Back in the day, we play coppers and robbers
And now that we older, we hide from the cops
'Round here if you win, not really a win
It's really a loss
Go from workers into a boss
Chains on our feet, I'm pulling them off

It's not fake
No, our problems they don't change
Don't forget this lovely place that we call home
No, it ain't all that bad
Yeah, we got each other's backs
Don't forget this promise land that we call home

Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down
Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down

This is my-, this-, home (my home)
This is real, this-, my-, this is real
This estate is home (my home)
This estate that we stay, oh
This is my-, this-, home (my home)
This is real, this-, my-, this is real
This estate is home (my home)
This estate that we stay, oh
