[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Em    C
I was sat up on the train                            
 
Staring out the window at the rain (aye)
Em                        C
I heard this little lady must've felt the pain ask her mum 
 
if the blazing sun’ll ever shine again
Em                      C
I felt ashamed feel the same not her mother though
 
Nah, started to laugh got her son involved (aye)
G
Mention the past like a running joke
 
And told her 'without all the rain there's no stunning growth’
Em
Close, ah
C
To everything and nothing
 
Picture past the honeymoon and bluffing
                  Em
Where the wooden spoon is only cuffing
C
Shorter the discussion but the roots can't manoeuvre out of nothing
                          Em
I've been suffering these dreamy days (ah)
C
Remedy and lust don't hold any memories of us
                      G
Rather hold you everyday until the memories are dust
 
Yo we only caught the train cause you know I hate the bus
              Em
Never get enough
 
 
[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
         C
Born and raised
                         Em
Made attempts to crawl away
        C                            Em
Find a way to exist and hide your face some relate
C
Leave everything in yesterday
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Em                       C
(Aye) They ask about the bible I was reading
 
Told them that the title was misleading
G            Em
labelled it Jerusalem but really its
    C
for cooking Middle-Eastern
 
I could see your mind was changing with
                        Em
the seasons shady for a reason (ah)
     C
They will start decreasing, leaving like the orange in the evening
                            G
It was creeping through the clouds but now I'm proud to see the images releasing
 
I just wish the little lady could've
                              Em
seen it but she was dreaming (ah)
             C
Reckon she's standing with her mum saying to her
 
 'look, mother here’s the sun’ rooted
       Em
in the moment til the memories are done
C
So I sit and start to wonder on the woman she'll become
                      Em
Wonder if I’ll have a son or a
          C
daughter, ones that I brought up never strong never telling me to run
                      G
Never tried to find a sum, tryna get it done yo 
 
I wonder if she'll ever be as clever as her mum, one
 
 
[Chorus: Jordan Rakei]
Em         C
Born and raised
                         Em

        C  Cmaj7                  Em

[Outro]
 
Life can be bad, it can turn bad in a second
G
So remember what I'm tryna show you this life 
 
can be good one minute and next minute it can turn bad
 
So don't look down on nobody coz that’s how life can turn for everybody
C                              D    G
So remember its love everybody and I'm gonna look for that for my babe
