lyrics

Sometimes These South London Streets Remind Me Of Brooklyn
Words and music by Yinka Oyewole

Passed East Street at quarter to three
Headed to the all night Turkish grocery
Girl in front of me, what she grabbed
Made me flash right back to Flatbush Ave
Just a bottle of Brooklyn beer,
Funny how the little things take you right back there
Coming out of President, about 5am the memory from this little gem
Who’s a veritable sight in her cross-hatched tights
Makes me Wednesday noon think of Wednesday night
Came from Camberwell to the burbs, lost all her reserve
Strutting like it’s Williamsburg
Where hipsters slum, debate and talk
Through my mate’s estate I walk
Swear I was in East New York,
East New York

Chorus: Sometimes These South London Streets Remind Me Of Brooklyn

Jesus turned water into wine
But a plane ticket right now would do just fine
Down the road in Dulwich they be living up nice
Kinda like Fort Greene, there’s always two sides
Things have changed in Elephant and Peckham
Not just the gangs, No more buses bend it like Beckham
Now in BK some wear blue some red
Both eat jerk chicken and hard dough bread
It’s like I found another earth
When my spaceship hit Planet Brooklyn’s turf
And err they welcomed me there too,
Told them in Bushwick that ‘ll be back soon
But as June turned into June I can’t lie
Saw more of Brixton Hill than Crown Heights
But since the Rastas still got the same vibes, Oh My..

Chorus: Sometimes These South London Streets Remind Me Of Brooklyn

Bridge
Ain’t just the grind, all the time in the people
On the other side you got the thugs and the dealers
Ain;t just the butts that put your mind into a fever
It’s just the way everyday i get the feeling
