Where’s It Coming From? (Interlude)

[Intro]
I'm like Allo Mate
Parents moved over from Ghana
Raised me in East London
On that Jollof and that Supermalt
That's me, what 'bout you bredda?

[Verse 1]
So where's it coming from?
Is it coming from your gut?
Is it coming from your ma?
Is it coming from your pops?
When you were six years old
And you saw how mummy suffered
Daddy tough, but couldn't hack it
So you sacrificed the jacket

[Verse 2]
Where's it coming from?
Is it coming from the curb?
When they pulled up
Pulled out 2 straps and laid him on the dirt?
And that's your boy, so it hurts
And the owner said it ain't over
So you're rollin' around in a rover
With your hood up and a revolver

[Verse 3]
Where's it coming from?
Is it coming from the telly?
Fresh Prince, My Wife and Kids, Tom and Jerry?
Daddy wasn't home, you never had a chance to grow
So you're in the science lesson all confused and making jokes

[Verse 4]
Where's it coming from?
What, you're coming from the money?
Never had to worry?
Happy go lucky?
Granny died and left you about 20 bags in the account
And you're finally eighteen so you can finally take it out

[Verse 5]
And where's it coming from?
Abroad?
And your family moved to here 'cause they thought
There was many opportunities
And no chance of a Eulogy
But you'd rather go back 'cause you're bored

[Verse 6]
And where's it coming from?
What, the church innit? (offering time)
And the pastor got everybody worshipping?
Tryna force [?] about your pastor's got ten mill' in his account
Instead of worshipping God, some are worshipping him!

[Verse 7]
And where's it coming from?
What, only child?
Oh, your sister's left home, so you're lonely now?
And your family say you're on your laptop every hour of every day
But for you, that's the only place you find in the maze

[Verse 8]
Where's it coming from?
What, standard?
And you're never the rich or poor
Just standard
And you want a couple kids and a car and a decent looking wife
Just standard, y'know?
Nuttin' special, just standard

[Verse 9]
Where's it coming from?
What, grime?
What, why is there this chaos fitting rhymes?
And everybody's feeling and they're making money too
So now you wanna pick up the mic

[Verse 10]
Where's it coming from?
Exams?
Are you feeling the pressure from your fam?
Cause you ain't academic
But your daddy won't accept it
So you're studying the book tryna cram

[Verse 11]
Where's it coming from?
What, the mandem?
And you ain't got a penny you can hand them?
So you gotta mind out when the bredda's ride out
'Cause that's peoples right now, no doubt

[Verse 12]
My bredda, where's it coming from?
What, religion?
Does religion make you feel like you're in prison?
Are you tryna find your way out the dark
But feeling far from the mark
And thinking, where do you start?
My bredda, where you coming from?

[Outro]
