IF I
CHORUS
If I tell you stories, If I tell you stories
About the place I'm from you'll say to me
"What the hell you've done to 'scape this dream"
But to be truthful and honest, to be truthful and honest
This is the place I love, it gave me wings
The place I love, it made me sing
VERSE ONE
I was born on the border of Hell and Hell
Though I love them, my own friends know it well
Two sides of my London, tell the tale
Red and Green's never known to keep Nobel
The yellow comes out and the streets get peak
In my BG jumper with cold ice cream
Can't forget that summer where the one turned twins
Mother packed our bags it was time to leave
CHORUS
If I tell you stories, If I tell you stories
About the place I'm from you'll say to me
"What the hell you've done to 'scape this dream"
But to be truthful and honest, to be truthful and honest
This is the place I love, it gave me wings
The place I love, it made me sing
VERSE TWO
Unfamiliar place, got some cousins nearby
Thought it was safe, still got warring sides
That's when I knew there's no escaping this life
I received my grades on the borderline
Double-A was draining, a gangster town
Classmates are green but my ends are brown
Feeling the heat with no ice cream now
Couple fistfights 'til them knives came out
CHORUS
If I tell you stories, If I tell you stories
About the place I'm from you'll say to me
"What the hell you've done to 'scape this dream"
But to be truthful and honest, to be truthful and honest
This is the place I love, it gave me wings
The place I love, it made me sing
INTERLUDE
I was born on the border of Hell and Hell
The place I love, it made me
Can't forget that summer where the one turned twins
Tell the tale
The place I love, it made me
CHORUS
If I tell you stories, If I tell you stories
About the place I'm from you'll say to me
"What the hell you've done to 'scape this dream"
But to be truthful and honest, to be truthful and honest
This is the place I love, it gave me wings
The place I love, it made me sing
If I tell you stories, If I tell you stories
About the place I'm from you'll say to me
"What the hell you've done to 'scape this dream"
But to be truthful and honest, to be truthful and honest
This is the place I love, it gave me wings
The place I love, it made me sing
