Venbee, Shakes - ME4 (council estate) lyrics

We went to college in the ME4
Lots in common everybody's poor, you know
We live it large but we feel so small, you know
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 ends from way back
Seen some stuff can't call a man childish
These Council estates familiar with
And chill in the parks is
How were brought up
Now gangs more up
Celebrate when the times were the hardest (it's mad)
Soon be a artist
Still in my head I'm a 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

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
