Headed back to where I started,
Past the fireflies of Rizla burning bright,
Lost the tower where my heart is
Cinema skylines that I don't recognise
Strip the life out of these streets,
It's a daylight robbery,
You'll never take the London out of me, I was raised by the river, 19th floor
We never got this high before,
We were lost so long, look how far we've come
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
(Harmonising)
I remember where I belong,
Nothing same but nothing different,
Hear the people cry concrete lullabies
I never thought I'd say I miss it
See it speaking when I walk
Don't test the waters, I was raised by the river, 19th floor,
We never got this high before,
We were lost so long, look how far we've come,
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Bopping down Walworth Road, bubblegum blow, Sliders and Sunday clothes,
Doing like my Nani, 70s steez,
Cardamom stain my teeth,
I see the things you've seen, but you don't speak and leave the traces
like I picked up a parcel handed down through generations
Raised by the river, 19th floor,
We never got this high before
We were lost so long, look how far we've come,
Down by the river, I remember where I belong
Ooh, I remember where I belong,
Ooh, I remember when I belong.
