D Double E Ft Ghetts - Where Do We Come From? | Lyrics

[D Double E x 2]
Where do we come from
Where do we come from
London.
The East London dungeons
Arms house in the functions
Police with truncheons
Don’t make no assumptions
Na, don’t make no assumptions

[D Double E]
It’s like everyone’s on this ting
Either shots and cling
Or it’s shots in skin
Either shots at him
Or his next of kin
If a mans not dead, then he’s locked up in the binI still drive through the ends with the drop top off
Just know the ends is all [?]
Any minute now the road might get blocked off
One minute the beef dies down then it all pops off

[Ghetts]
Newham, where man’ll murder man they went school with as if they never knew ‘em
Both went Bonds, now there ain’t no bond
I try to school these kids but they all play truant
You little niggas don’t know one thing about boxing apart from pay per viewing
What you on the pavement doing?
Man don’t rate no acid attacks
Then again, that’s how grandad felt
When I was out here with a shank in my hand
Fisticuffs that’s grandad’s world
What Dya expect from me
My life expectancy was 20
Mum wanna send me [?] before it’s rest in peace

[D Double E]
Look, don’t think it’s all fish and chips
Don’t think it’s all tea and biscuits
Cah man’ll put a whole in your tea with the brand new biscuit
Yeah, come to the ends and fuck around if you wanna risk it
East London where me ah born and grew
Man a big man have to do ten toes
Yeah, cah I’m from east London where the mandem’ll boo
I’m in the booth right now spitting the truth
I’m in the hood right now yeah and I got proofLook, where do we come from
