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, nineteenth 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 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, nineteenth 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, you leave the traces Like I picked up a parcel handed down through generations Raised by the river, nineteenth 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 where I belong
