"Kids Off The Estate (2017)"

Yeah, that street light's on and I'm still out
I grew up fast and had no doubt
I'd make it in this godforsaken town
Nintendos came second hand
And Clifton Park was Disneyland
Oh, we'd want for not and never get let down

And we stay out so late
The kids off the estate
Mothers had to wait
'Cause those boys will be boys
You don't have to hate
The kids off the estate
Mates after a fate
And they called them Reytons

Jumpers thrown on a patch of dirt
On that corner field in last season's shirt
Till the windows break, but they're never gonna catch us now
We've got quids for the corner shop
But when he turns his back, we're gonna take the lot
And he can run quite fast, but he's never gonna track us down

And we stay out so late
The kids off the estate
Mothers had to wait
'Cause those boys will be boys
You don't have to hate
The kids off the estate
Mates after a fate
And they called them Reytons

UV lights on the council flats
No cameras work but still hoods and caps
'Cause if the cops roll by, then we're gonna have to stash the lot
Eight missed calls and you're late again
You read it's 12:15 on a 3210
But you don't go back 'cause you know that they'll be trouble and war

Yeah, we stay out so late
The kids off the estate
Mothers had to wait
'Cause those boys will be boys
You don't have to hate
The kids off the estate
Mates after a fate
And they called them Reytons

Yeah, that street light's on and I'm still out
I grew up fast and had no doubt
I'd make it in this godforsaken town
Time moves fast and we slow down
Loser dream while chase inbound
'Cause we want it all and forever get let down

Still we stay out so late
The kids off the estate
Mothers had to wait
'Cause those boys will be boys
You don't have to hate
The kids off the estate
Mates after a fate
And they called us Reytons
