If you wanna know something 'bout me The blood in my veins is full of northern grit I got that northern soul, and I got bags of it We're far from ordinary people And if you wanna know something 'bout us The hearts in our chest are full of northern love And even when we broke, we'll always have enough We're far from ordinary people Alright how can I say this I'm from a place where, no-one expects us to make it There was the Stone Roses & Oasis But when they were big we were still babies I'm talking to the new generation And we wasn't born in the 80s They say that we don't see many places Cos nobody left here for ages Serious love for the people that raised us Even though it got crazy Poverty stricken but that never phased us Not one of us lazy And i'll be the first to say money dont change us Well it didn't change me I'll never forget where I came from - thats cos SongtexteIt's the struggle that saved me On the streets we got brought up And we'd play on the grass cos we tryin to be pro footballers They say theres no kings out here, nobodies got money, everyone of us paupers I beg to differ... cos i see the bigger picture Everyone of us kings We can live on the street And make it a castle Fuck what they call us They can keep throwing out orders In fact bring cameras and recorders We been fighting for survival And your gonna learn what war does Why did they call it an army? That's cos it's filled with soldiers Theres a war going on outside and its life You can keep the revolvers If you wanna know something 'bout me The blood in my veins is full of northern grit I got that northern soul, and I got bags of it We're far from ordinary people And if you wanna know something 'bout us The hearts in our chest are full of northern love And even when we broke, we'll always have enough We're far from ordinary people Okay... what do they expect? They expect us to fail this test They think cos we're broke and we're not blessed Like we're gonna watch our parents stress No chance... And more time our parents are broken up anyway, theres no romance And the cars been sold And thats cos theres no keeping up with their finance What did they want us to do? Skip down the road to the job centre and just hold hands? Its not easy out here, depressions a killer Especially when you've got no plans So much pain on a daily basis Would you not grab the painkiller with both hands? Its a shame the painkiller is weed & liquor Strong enough to wipe out the whole gang If Im being brutally honest I dont condone it, but I understand the stealing And the violence.. Yeah man run when they hear the sirens No comment Leave the room in silence Thats the same boy whos mum got treated bad in the job center on friday Dad dont care so he lacks the guidance Its a shame that the streets are evil But thats just where we grown up And not everything was legal But thats where we learnt to be tough Most people grind to a halt Like a car with no petrol or no diesel But we keep it moving round ere Cos we far from ordinary people If you wanna know something 'bout me The blood in my veins is full of northern grit I got that northern soul, and I got bags of it We're far from ordinary people And if you wanna know something 'bout us The hearts in our chest are full of northern love And even when we broke, we'll always have enough We're far from ordinary people I see the raindrops falling again We look up to greet the heavens Who cares if we had harsh beginnings We know congruence If you wanna know something 'bout me The blood in my veins is full of northern grit I got that northern soul, and I got bags of it We're far from ordinary people And if you wanna know something 'bout us The hearts in our chest are full of northern love And even when we broke, we'll always have enough We're far from ordinary people We're far from ordinary people...
