Lyrics

Yah, in the streets we would kick it, cricket Worn down bat street light as the wickets Had a cul-de-sac in the middle Where the big kids would put us to fight Not tryna brag, but I was winning When the ice cream truck rolled around I was wishing for a buck 10, that's how much it was then The house I lived in, the grownups ran a mucking Disputes on the daily, fam feuds, crazy, leave it at that It's too insane for me to rap about I used to wanna be like my big brother Draw rap sag, rag, everything From the hair do to the toughest I remember one day I tried to follow him And caught a boot to the stomach That's my roots as a younging I mean before i hit, form two, form two Academic mind, same time naughty too Argue with whoever wanted didn't care I wouldn't change that for anything Cause I was raised out the south side of Auckland As soon as you hit 13 you're considered a grown man A lot of buses stuck in that same rut Dysfunctional families parents running a muck But still I love the place I was raised in Representing to that very day when I pushed a couple blazes It's the place that made me strong Otara to the world in this song, let's go I guess it's true what they telling me Home is where the heart beats Stand tall for my streets even if it starts beef That's beside the point though, I'm a grown man now Inspiration for the kids on how my life's planned out How my wings have spanned out, through goals I have set Elevated to a better man now foes ain't a threat You can touch me in the flesh, I'm real, see me round my hood Hit a living legacy presence, so I'll be round for good The place flowing through my veins be through up and downs with you Through no matter what, I stay chasing that crown for you Just hope the next generation follow through To know whats possible to do bigger and better things that I can do Where I can rest, no matter what, my people know my name Cause I've never looked down on them so theyve treated me the same Yeah, it's the place that made me strong I got love for my hood, Beach Haven is home Yeah I was raised on the north side of Auckland Beach Haven valley, only place I see important To me the streets I'm holding to my very last breath Where a lot of us fell off, so I may give it my best That's to the end, a place that never changes The kids bring us hope to break the chain That we've bring into this game it's It's the place that made me strong I got love for my hood so I show it in the song We happy even though we hardly had a thing Karaoke have a sing, sounds pumping hard Man, it's over powerin' my chattering Gutterboard battling, Sherberts and the hennessy Skin board, double time Sweet brother, have a seat Serving them up like Agassi West side horis be the handball kings Too broke to be athletes, couldn't pay the fees But give me 50 cents and I'll show you all the fatalities Man street fighter had to be, where the brother started at Uniform worn with my nomads at my starter camp Home is where my heart is at Kapahaka, harder slaps Whakapapa preserving te reo like an artifact High crime rates, cholesterol and heart attacks But if you in a scrap every hori's got your back, yeah We bout to put every hori on the map Sidney, Sir T, Tipene chh-ch-chyeah I was raised on the west side of Flaxmere And when I'm in the hood I reminisce on how we were back then Swear everybody stuck in the same rut We didn't have much but it was always just enough I swear, everybody knows your name The place to call home where we all learned to grow through the pain It's the place that made me strong I got love for my hood so I show it in the song.
