[Verse 1: venbee]
We went to college in the ME4
Lots in common, everybody's poor, you know
We livin' 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
[Pre-Chorus: venbee]
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 promisе land
That we call home
[Chorus: venbee]
Council estatе
You look pretty when the sun goes down
Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down
[Verse 2: Shakes]
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's 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
[Pre-Chorus: venbee]
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
[Chorus: venbee]
Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down
Council estate
You look pretty when the sun goes down
