Chords for B Young - Made In Hackney | Vevo LIFT

[C] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
I started from a very [Bm] young age, _ [B] _ _ [C]
back home in Cyprus, back in [B] the village.
Mom used to just put me on the spot and make me sing.
[Am] _
Neighbours would call me like, [Bm] Bertan, come down.
And they [G] used to just make me sing in front of [C] everyone.
_ Growing up in [B] Hackney, it was a bit rough.
My brother, he went [C] to jail.
We were just thinking of ways to progress when [Bm] he's out.
It's like, we got to do [Eb] something mad because the [C] life we're living,
it's not the way we want to live.
[B] And it's not the life I would imagine for myself.
_ [Am] _
And I guess it was a [Bm] big turning point when he [Eb] come out.
We started getting [C] focused on just ways of making money.
We actually opened [B] up a gym together.
We were running the business [Am] and we were just hustling, innit?
We're trying to make [Em] a change [Bm] in life.
And obviously the [B] music was another hustle.
[C] _
Go on YouTube, learn how to [B] engineer.
And that just kind of [G] hooked me.
_ [B]
I love the technical side of how [Em] to use compressors, EQ,
and just how to mix and [Bm] master a record.
_ [Em] _ I've _ _ got a group of friends that we used to just literally get waved,
bang out the [G] music.
We're used to doing everything ourselves.
We bought a camera, my brother picked it up and recorded.
Recorded the music videos, we edited it together,
[C] and just released [Abm] on the side.
_ _ [Gbm]
Jumanji, my [B] breakthrough.
It was a whole different switch up in such a short [Gbm] time.
_ [A] _ [Abm] It was overwhelming.
I think that's the only way to [Gbm] describe it.
You get into a [Abm] cab, driver recognises you, he's banging your music on,
[Gbm] you hear your music playing on the radio, you're [Abm] on the TV.
People are treating me like a celebrity and I'm like,
Bro, last month I was [Gbm] any guy.
[Abm] There were negatives to it, like mentally,
[Gbm] trying to understand [Abm] how I have to behave,
or do I have to change the way I [Gb] act?
Because people are seeing [Gbm] me in a whole different light
that I'm not used to.
[Abm] I loved it though.
I loved every [Gbm] minute of it.
_ A [Abm] _
[Gbm] group of friends are still around today
and we do the same thing, nothing's changed.
[Abm] We turn up to our music, [Gbm] we call ourselves Game Time.
_ [Abm] _ I mean, it's a label now [Gbm] and we're just going to keep building.
[Eb] [Abm] I just dropped my [Gbm] first album
and this was just something to show the people [Abm] what I do
outside of the [B] single.
So just [Gbm] my different musical sides.
I'll [Abm] be banging that drill, then I'll be banging that hapro beat.
[Gbm] I don't stick to one style [D] of music.
I'm [Abm] vibing.
I'm just being me.
I'm just being 100% [Gbm] real to myself.
[Am] _ _ [C] [G] If I could speak to 10 year old B Young [D] now,
I would [Am] say make sure you [C] enjoy every moment [G] of the journey.
[D] Because sometimes I [Am] focus too much on the end goal
[C] and I forget [Em] to actually enjoy the journey.
[D] _ [Am] _ _
[Em] There's a quote from Alan Watts,
I don't know it word [D] for word,
but [Am] it's something like,
Life's [C] a musical, [G] don't forget to dance.
_ [D] _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [Em] _ _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ [C] _ [Em] _
