[Verse 1: Fusion]
Yeah, man, I'm fresh out of Newham
Born and raised and taught in Newham
Kids wanna roll around tough in Newham
Drugs and guns get pushed in Newham
13 year old mums in Newham
Broken boys, they're lost in Newham
Flats and blocks ain't clean in Newham
Bus drivers ain't clear in Newham
Upton Park, that stinks in Newham
Young black boys get k**ed in Newham
Council, they don't care 'bout Newham
Police, they don't care 'bout Newham
West Ham bowling ground, that's Newham
E13, 4, 5, that's Newham
Stratford Westfield, yeah, that's Newham
Plaistow Green, get mugged, that's Newham
[Hook: Fusion]
This is London, East London where I come from
Single mums get by, no husband
One pound chicken and chips, that's London
Youts on a stolen ped, that's London
This is London, East London where I come from
Single mums get by, no husband
One pound chicken and chips, that's London
Youts on a stolen ped, that's London
[Verse 2: Ghetts]
Yo, N-E-W-H-A-M
Mayhem, E13, 8 AM
Stalled up in the school run, took a shortcut
But somehow, I pulled up late again
I ain't cool with the pagan dem
I already warned you, I ain't your friend
Real, believe I'm OTT
All you n***as got limits like ATMs
Look at the convoy, eight BMs
Barking Road, bailiff men
I'm charged up but the phone's on 8%
My n***a Titch just called, but the battery died
And now I'm ringing him back like he ain't in pen
We were out here in '98
And all my n***as dem were wearing the same TNs
Then it was Monday, Déjà, 8 to 10

[Verse 3: MicTy]
21 years, I've been living straight
Ain't set up base in no other district, mate
Be on the green right down to Vicarage Lane
Turkish strip, might buck up with the Turkish kids
We're talking business straight
Wouldn't f** with 'em if I never knew 'em
But that's just Newham
See, I'm from Stratford, yeah, I mean Stratford
So imagine the grime cla** that I sat
Hoodie on, I sat my arse at the back
Flows and bars, I be the master of that
Born in the General, turned a little nasty
Was a boy in the hood, now I'm a man
If I cause lightning, trust me, it's brutal
f**ing up at least half of your clan
