(Yo’) For all the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
we could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it doesn’t matter, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I’m really missing
all the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
we could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it doesn’t matter, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I really miss you.
Verse One
And the first on my list is my big Brother Reuben,
was the first to hear my music and encouraging my movement,
then there’s Stixx the DJ, known you back from when we played
as young as four years old in the sand,
I’m glad we stayed so close like Jean Marc who always came to visit,
yeah we sat and wrote a movie together,
there ain’t no limits to the ideas we had
and Dyanna Fearon, I had the most fun producing your album,
writing and engineering,
Aisha, Lei-an and Janye,
those were some of the best years of my life
and yo’ I hope you feel the same,
ay’ yo’ Marie, for all the time you spent with me,
I didn’t mind how long you stayed and wished you’d never leave,
and there was Charlene, Anthony and Danielle,
you were my Family, I got to know you all so damn well
and can’t forget Parris, you had my back at times it really mattered,
you were Stokey, I was Stratford and we both making it happen
and Sienna, I put you on my first joint with Emma,
we go back to Primary, that’s as far as I remember,
ESP where you at? With your Cousin Strap?
Two of the Illest lyricists I ever put on a track
and then there’s Koya with K
and Andrea we studied together back in the day,
I got so much love for you both, what can I say?
Would love to see you again,
and there’s name after name, after name.
Chorus
Cos I’m naming all the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
we could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it don’t matter, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I’m really missing
all the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
we could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it don’t matter, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I really miss ya’.
Verse Two
My Uncle Chris used to come and check me,
remember Charlene, Crystal and Becky, Shola Ama so impressed me,
Phoebe One came through with dope vibes, recorded “Hands Up”,
that record sold the most in twenty 0-five,
and Mr Brown put it down the harder we try
and J Sean came through one time
and Estelle came through one time
and Richard Blackwood when he rhymed,
Nujabes saw my records and he wanted to buy some breaks from me,
but I ain’t selling,
and I would be here forever trying name everyone from studio sessions
and I can't forget Vanessa and the jokes I had with Sam,
cos everyone's impression made me just the way I am,
yo’, remembering my Niece Amy, she was just a baby,
chilling on my black carpet, walls painted navy
and Rudine and Joel you came a few years later,
so much family up in this skyscraper,
on my floor, five neighbours, opposite was a Man and Wife,
the man drunk once a year, because his son took his life,
sad times, happy times, all kinda times,
mad breaks, dope beats and all kinda rhymes
and Amal, I thought you were the best in world
and then your man called to tell me, “stop paging my girl”,
I said, “she calling me back, so what you think about that?”,
but I don’t need to say it all on this track, let’s take it back.
Chorus
To the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
you could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it doesn’t matter, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I’m really missing
all the peeps who came to see me up in Dennison Point,
we could be Friends, or be recording a joint,
it never mattered, cos you so made a difference to my story, my existence,
some dope Brothers and Sisters, some days I really miss ya’.
