Kids Off The Estate

Yeah, that streetlight's on and I'm still out

I grew up fast and had no doubt

I'd make it in this godforsaken town

Nintendos came second hand

And Clifton Park was Disneyland

Oh, we'd want for nowt and never get let down

And we'd stay out so late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

'Cause those boys will be boys

You don't have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a feyt

And they called them reytons

Jumpers thrown on a patch of dirt

On that corner field in last season's shirt

Till the windows break

But they're never gonna catch us now

We've got quids for the corner shop

But when he turns his back

We're gonna take the lot

And he can run quite fast

But he's never gonna track us down

'Cause we'd stay out so late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

'Cause those boys will be boys

You don't have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a feyt

And they called them reytons

UV lights on the council flats

No cameras work

But still hoods and caps

'Cause if the cops roll by

Then weʼre gonna have to stash the lot

Eight missed calls and you're late again

It reads 12:15 on a 3210

But you don't go back

'Cause you know that they'll be trouble and what?

'Cause we'd stay out so late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

'Cause those boys will be boys

You don't have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a feyt

And they called them reytons

Yeah, that streetlight's on and Iʼm still out

I grew up fast and had no doubt

I'd make it in this god forsaken town

Time moves fast and we slow down

Lose the dream while chasing pounds

'Cause we want it all and forever get let down

Still we'd stay out so late

The kids off the estate

Mothers had to wait

'Cause those boys will be boys

You don't have to hate

The kids off the estate

Mates after a feyt

And they called us reytons
