City Lyrics

The gritty city flipped me to the darkside

But I gotta be as wise as the serpent so I’m there part time

Doing my thi-zing, envisaging what they can’t I

See the future clairvoyantly and boy I’m seeing hard times

And they provide no compromise, huh, hard line

So some of my design’s to provide hard rhymes

Harsh truths of the dark youts, shark eyed

On the prowl, now like owls in the dark at night

Take you down laughing like, ha ha ha ha ha

Is nothing right? Na ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Na neeny woi, zigga digga na na no no no

I do not want to be a part of this I got to go oh oh

Yo, cos the evil is upon you, yeh

This going out to the wolves out there

And I’m not on about the ones around the molineux

You can run, but you cannot hide

You can try, I will take your life

You can run, but you cannot hide

You can try, I will take your life

BC where the streets are harsher the lessons tougher

Stuck in the belly of the beast, call it the pressure cooker

Where the rich never suffer and working class wages to them are f..cking bread and butter

Evening Mail yet another,

Stabbing, fund stacking, f..cking gun clapping

Kids are lesson wagging, weapon grabbing, rizla bud packing, stood dragging

On the weed man bunnin a spliff

And then they get late teens and it’s loving the sniff

Then they get in to shottin and looking suttin to shift

Thought the ship was on course but it’s running adrift

In the system constantly working

Making a million moves entrepreneur ’ing

Looking for peace and truth, sombre and hurting

It’s burning us inside, wrong and disturbing

We’re immersed in, this chaos

Look at some that are stood in the maze lost

But we’re coming for the premier league

Either taking the title or via the playoffs

We’re not having it, hope … imagine it

Coming to fill up the trophy cabinet

Money we’re stacking it, faith we’re backing it

Call life a bitch but you know that we’re macking it

The law of attraction’s a magnet

We saw more of the facts unravelling

While they’re caught in this trap like a labyrinth

Rap but they’re wack at it, Davis a maverick

You can run, but you cannot hide

You can try, I will take your life

You can run, but you cannot hide

You can try, I will take your life

Cold blood in my veins, hot head on my shoulders

You get no love there’s no games

Best stop there if I don’t know ya

Wolves howling at her gates, shout out to her soldiers

Breed em like it’s nothing then treat em like she don’t know them

And everybody wanna be the king of the street but no one can truly own em

So while most living on the brink of defeat believing the future’s golden

Yeh, from the youts to the old ones

So the door’s shut even when it’s open

And so most slam whenever approaching

So they mistake a setback for an omen, yeh

And these kids got a lot to give, cos they don’t wanna sit around shottin shit

For the new kicks, new chicks and the whips

They get shottin it yeh

It’s ironic but that’s how they’re living

School’s for the pupils without a vision

Keep doin it fool but ain’t down to listen

Gotta stay useful fill out the prisons

Yeh, and it’s sad but true, that’s why everything’s black and blue

From the bigwigs sitting in the savvy suits

To the little kids on road slanging food

So the deceit runs deep, we’re all in for a piece

And the city is a beast, but without us she’d be incomplete

You can run, but you cannot hide

You can try, I will take your life
