Lyrics

You don’t know

The things that I’ve seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don’t know

The things that I’ve seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don’t know

Yh

But you don’t know

I was born in Lisbon

On August ninety four

Back in that time

I couldn’t rhyme

I had to sleep on the floor

Barely had food

It wasn’t good

Lived in the back of a shed

My mum worked hard every day

But couldn’t afford to buy bread

That’s when we moved out

Across to the next town

That’s where I saw my own father

Beating my mother down

Taking your hard earned money

For his car and cheap shags

No wonder I hate this society

Full of rotten slags

I thank my grandfather

For the man that he is

For being more than a father

I hope one day he sees this

I also thank my grandmother

For giving us a home

But most of all I thank my mother

For giving up hope

But then you had to go

You had to move away

I sat up watching 8 mile

Wishing you could stay

Spent lonely nights

Crying over you

Even got beaten up

For not to seeing Fialho

And then you moved to Ireland

Things went berserk

You moved back home

Again looking for work

You found a job in England

Again on the run

In search for a better future

For you and your son

I understand your decisions

And everything you’ve had to do

So on the 5th September

I moved to Britain with you

But you don’t know

Yh

But you don’t know

You don’t know

The things that I seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don’t know

The things that I’ve seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don’t know

Yh

But you don’t know

I arrived in Britain

With only a bag on my back

I hope you understand

Why I am writing this track

It wasn’t cool

No one could even assist

When I moved to a school

Full of fucking racists

But you don’t know

The things that I seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don’t know

The things that I’ve seen

I wish I could blow

And show you all how it’s been

The tears don’t flow

Constantly picture the scenes

Reached bottom low

Burning all of my dreams

But you don't know
