Chicken shops with two pound tops
We're roamin' but can't get enough
Eatin' sunshine everyday
Accustomed to our south east way
Cruisin' in the rainy streets
Smokin' cigarettes like sweets
Creamy legs in London air
Our hands are up but we still care
The blades don't turn
But you see them from miles and miles
And you learn
That over here we hide our grief behind smiles
And we run around and laugh 'cause that's our style

Oh, we know
It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute
Girls can dream, still know
It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute, yeah
(It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute)
(It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute)

Tommy, Shaq, Nathan and Mo
"Mum, why ain't my brother home?"
Cradled by a dozen flowers
Streets just took another child
Ain't it strange that my home
Had closed before it ever opened?
Don't you know
That over here we hide our grief behind smiles?
And we run around and laugh 'cause that's our style

Oh, we know
It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute
Girls can dream, still know
It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute, yeah

There's pain outside
There's pain in the art
No time for the worst in me (worst in me)
Remember finding the email
At the penitentiary that locked up Tariq (up Tariq)
They don't have control on us
No, they don't have control on we (on we)
They can steal all of our space
But if we ain't there then it's cheap

Oh, we know
It's not about where we're livin' (it's not a-)
Make the most for a minute (it's not a-)
Girls can dream, still know (girls can dream, still know)
It's not about where we're livin' (it's not about where we're livin')
Make the most for a minute
Oh, ah
It's not about where we're livin'
(Make the most for a minute)
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
(It's not about where we're livin'
Make the most for a minute)
