1997 was the year my planet earth had changed
Dinner times were different had to think about the words I say
3 up in the room at once was gunna cause some arguments
I used to stir it up to make some drama just to laugh at it
Small enough for climbing frames big enough for tidal waves
We've made it through the darkest nights its only right theres brighter days
All our mates did fancy sands and went away on trips abroad
Transit vans to caravans to nan's is all we could afford
Aldi shops and boot sales yeah that's what we used to do
Screaming in the car parks and running round like looney tunes
Rocking all our cousins hand me downs up in the summer breeze
Now I understand when they say miracles must come in threes
On and off throughout your lives I know you ain't been feeling well
You're purpose on this earth for all of you is just to be yourselves
I know we always joke around and talk about the clout we do
But if I die tomorrow please remember that I'm proud of you
Thinking bout you now I'm on my own
You wanna ask me why but I dont know
Time flies by now we're getting old
And it was 1997 made a house a home
Trouble tried to follow us but nah we dint envision how
The same kids we shared a classroom with are up in prison now
I try to take the weight and think twice bout worried thoughts
All we knew from takeaways was chips rice and curry sauce
Bunk beds we knew about fake friends we threw 'em out
A dozen pairs of dirty shoes that ruth would have to hoover round
The neighbours had those 99's, we had those freezer lollies
Back when auntie Nicky heard those words that he was cheating on me
Mental heaths genetic and I know we've all had illnesses
Mates that ain't got families yeah we had them round for Christmases
You might be stuck up in a rut and not be where you want to be
But it will work itself out I promise that you're gunna see
You know that no one in this life can take away whats yours
Self belief is hard but when you feel it you'll be wanting more
Pissing off the neighbours as we're dancing round to tiger feet
But if I die tomorrow please remember just to smile for me
I've never really slept a lot I guess im used to be being tired
Now its started making sense why I've not heard of peace and quiet
Promise you the sun will shine to make up for the rainy days
Funny how the world works it happens in the strangest ways
You got potential you're intelligent you know you are
Just think about the things you've done to overcome those broken hearts
Couple years we didn't speak but nowadays we're cooler now
Get older by the minute and just still we always fool around
In your lives you've seen it all they're always hypocritical
They see you as a three and just forget your individuals
Dinner from the chip shop was treats for us on Friday nights
Ears upon the bedroom door to listen to me writing rhymes
Think that one is bad enough we had to triple everything
I wouldn't change it for the world for you three id do anything
I'm your big brother and I love ya to the furthest moon
If I die tomorrow please remember just to play this tune
