Lyrics
Brixton Estate
[Verse] Rows of bricks, grime, but hearts beat strong, Whispers in the street, but them tales all wrong, Playground in the middle, laughter like a song, Swings and slides live where trouble ain't belong. [Verse] Graffiti art gallery, each tag a tale, Voices heard loud, though the walls seem frail, Kids chasing dreams on that merry-go-round trail, Hope's in the breeze, never up for sale. [Chorus] Brixton blocks, got a story to tell, Sculpted from the shadows, where good vibes dwell, They see the grime, but miss the heart of the spell, Life in the estate, where everything gels. [Bridge] Mr. Patel's shop, the corner's crown jewel, Treats for the young, wisdom for the fool, Beneath the surface, a place so cool, Where unity reigns, that’s the Brixton rule. [Verse] Mothers share glances, unspoken trust, Dudes in the alley, coins in the dust, But beneath the grime, a layer of just, In the heart of the estate, community's thrust. [Chorus] Brixton blocks, got a story to tell, Sculpted from the shadows, where good vibes dwell, They see the grime, but miss the heart of the spell, Life in the estate, where everything gels.
