Odd One Out Lyrics

Look, all it takes is a road, two sides on it

Put some houses down this road on the left and right of it

Get some money give one side enough so they are rich

Give a one percent to the other side

Bring in the private schools

Bring in the fancy cars (mad)

Bring in a uni, best in the land make sure that it's only ours

We Bring in the cleaners from them sides and leave them minimum wage

(I'm not posh my daddy only owns two businesses)

(Shut the fuck up you dickhead)

Only if you knew what we've been through, felt like the city weren't ours

Some kids at my school don't know there's a river here cause their mum didn't feel a part Of cambs

As a kid I used to stare out the window holding an empty can

Thinking, why do our neighbours have so much more than us?

Look, all it takes is a city with a hidden divide

How can it be fair that the ward you live in decides your school, culture, what your fate is Life expectancy and wages?

If your friends are on the county lines or flicking through the pages

Don't you dare say that we are neeks

Man I vape and smoke that weed

Ay what, why you trying to be who you not?

You wasn't forced into this like me

It can't be that bad, you're lying, that's cap

I don't want to hear that you see

Look, your stuck in a bubble my part of Cambridge ain't like yours

You ain't ever had mail from the council saying that we're gonna knock this down

You ain't ever sat awake in your room all cold with electric out

And everyone you met that ain't from here thinks you're this privileged child

When realistically in Cambridge your the odd one out

When realistically in Cambridge your the odd one out

When realistically in Cambridge your the odd one out

When realistically in Cambridge your the odd one out

The odd one out

Grew up in a city that's filled with wealth

It's lovely yeah, but a mile away it feels like another world

I went two schools so different so distant that I had to change myself

I went round peoples fancy houses pretending I had it as well

I was basically putting an act on

I didn't want to feel so different

But most kids here put an act on because they feel like somethings missing

What's missing?

Inequality looses unity that's trust lost and community

What's happening to this beautiful city man

Look, the pain of the divide, see why youths are carrying knifes

I know it's cambs not south London but it spread with no surprise

Down in London there is help but round here it's hidden more

Seen the tourists and the students but they forgot about the poor

Forgot bout the locals some got kicked from East London G-E-N trification

Polite word for saying fuck off now

Forgot bout the struggling who don't get a say or nothing

Turned down for discussion in an isolated hidden town

At school the vibe it's toxic

Everybody does shit to be rated

Half the lads that act like they're struggling live in a fancy crib and they hate it

Remember the side you're on

Remember you ain't experienced shit

Remember across the street there's a kid who'd bloody die to switch

To the mayor of Cambridge

Why is the life expectancy in Kings Hedges nearly fifteen years than West Chesterton Which is less than a mile away?

Why do the the top six percent of earners take home nearly ten times the bottom twenty Percent?

Why is Cambridge our beautiful historic important city the most unequal in the UK?
