Estelle - 1980 lyrics
They say that everything you go through in life It's what you become If thats the case yeah I'm becoming number 1 Listen It's Estelle Yo yo I grew up in tha 1980s In a four bedroom house my family, my grandma, three or four auntys Uncles and brothers in and out of prison daily Certain times when there was no heat you stay under covers There was life like you never seen Daddy taking extra people in Come dinner time it was tippin 18 Boiling a big pot of water on the stove take a bath Rub my face in olive oil, all my mates used to laugh Now cousins moved out and we all got divided Started to get older I soon got providing I've seen fifty pound last for three months solid I got my first pair of Nikes we were still eating porridge Me and my cousin used to play Mel and Kim practisin dancin Coming down tha stairs in tea I touched Africa and came back darker Knowin myself Feelin my roots a little bit harder (Chorus) x2 1980 year that God made me '89 start to get mine By '99 startin to write ryhmes come Walk with me reminisce on my life x2 See then we moved up Thought I was tha Fresh Prince Dynasty was re-runs and Dallas was faded With three best and timeless six kids still We got a dog and yes that dog's loves to shit but My brother got his first pair of LA Gear He thought it went to take pictures of his Delawear what? We started hanging out my jeans got tighter My weird neighbours set their own house on fire Church was, all day every day and every week Thats where I learnt how to sing hearing that master preach Benidiction was all we went for So we could run home and play Connect 4 Mum worked late and we learnt to cook Stars and lemon stew pea soup In tha room watching kung fu films and Cleopatra joints Wishing we were Cosby kids and Matchstick girls (Chorus) x2 Tha man downstairs was dead for three weeks His own cat started eating him, house starts to reek Thats when we moved out and our house was bigger We had a large garage and the attic was killer We used to pray for three hours in the morning Sittin on tha schoolbus believe we was yawnin All our hair was stuck down to our foreheads Jam and spick two rugs and pink curls yes Sexy boys walking round showing interest In what i dont know cause we all had flat chests Don't think we never mastered tha gettin play steps Doin what for days in the bobu yep But this is just tha beginning of my life right 19 kids a house and one lifetime Yo, tha beginning of my life right 19 kids a house and one lifetime (Chorus) Fading |
