Dream Big

Grew up fast in a place unknown

Four walls but the place ain't home

Terrified for my life sometimes

Especially when my dear mummy ain't home

Big dreams, sat swelling in my head

Big dreams, big boy, small bed

Wanna share 'em all but last time I did

I learnt things are better left unsaid

So you can read Karl Marx till your blue in the face

But if you've never left the house with a tool by your waist

And your shoe tightly laced, 'cos the feds might give chase

Selling anything you can to put some food on your plate

While the older kids are on the corner joy riding and burning cars

I was learning life the hard way, selling wholes and halves

Don't you chat to me about the rising of the working class

It's long overdue, I know, but we're too busy working hard

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Show them, say your culture is your root

And don't shun the talent of the children

Warm souls occupy a cold flat

New shoes, new coat, old hat

I did it all and I won't go back

Nah, I been there, yeah, I done that

Ooh, big dreams, sat swelling in my head

Big dreams, big boy, big bed

Wanna share 'em all but last time I did

I learnt some things are better left unsaid

'Cos where I come from we lock our dreams in a box

Pedal back and forth all day and tuck our jeans in our socks

Pray the alphabet is full and all our P's don't get robbed

Where everybody bears a cross but barely believes in God

You see it's hard sometimes, but we make it somehow

And if we can't make it, then we'll take it give it now

Hand it over, little buddy, all my dreaming is on scheming

I'm an angel in the daytime, but I'll kill you in the evening

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

Dream big kid, kid, dream big (Dream big)

They'll say you can't do it because they never did
