Jelani Blackman - Brixton Lyrics




Born in a place that don't know me
One half of the roots of my family tree
When I reach you it's like you're in my bones
How could you loose something that you've never known

Born in a place that don't know me
One half of the roots of my family tree
When I reach you it's like you're in my bones
How could you loose something that you've never known

I don't really know my name
Blackman's sea salt and sugar cane
Got cut away but I sleep on the pain
Ali ego but life's like sugar ray
Long time been a man of the place
So nah man i ain't been a man of the faith
Grove is base
That's always
But I left something of me in Tulse Hill Estate so I say I was

Born in a place that don't know me
One half of the roots of my family tree
When I reach you it's like you're in my bones
How could you loose something that you've never known

Nah it weren't easy I felt them scars like rah
How could I be taken apart so early
One half split from a half
Like dark and light still carved in my heart
My path settle down nah bro no hope's come along
Come a long, long way but a wrongs still a wrong
Now I see more clear like my views Evian
Blackman's sun tan and sippin rum
But Blackman's still rage from very young in a cage in a war I'm sure never won
Never will be we'll see if it ever done
Still swing for the world with the falcon punch
Yeah son, my roots run deep that's mum still when I come back Briccy it's a sticky one
Feel suttin mad in my chest that's strong
Started in a place that I don't come from

Born in a place that don't know me
One half of the roots of my family tree
When I reach you it's like you're in my bones
How could you loose something that you've never known

Born in a place that don't know me
One half of the roots of my family tree
When I reach you it's like you're in my bones
How could you loose something that you've never known
