(专辑: This Is My Demo - 2006)
From the
big big big big smoke to the
big big big big apple, Whether you drink drink drink drink coke or sip sip sip sip Snapple, From the
Capital to capital I'm trying to get that capital, Until my name's up in bright lights and capitals, In the
big big big big city, it's a
bit bit bit bit crazy, Where babies are having babies that grow up and rob old ladies, I've been on the
hustle daily trying to get rap to pay me, Cause working in gap or Sainsbury's ain't gunna get that Mercedes Born in the
eighties in London but African raised, And I've dreamed of packing those raves since back in the
days, it's dreams, In the
classroom banging on tables till the
teacher says, Derek sit back and behave It seems in my 22 years so much has happened But I'm still progressing, bank balance going up per annum, But when you're doing rapping Charlie, seems to take a
shooting or stabbing to go platinum Charlie, I
ain't gunna let that happen Charlie. [Chorus:] City life I
love you Even though the
skies are grey, I'll never place no place above you, People trying to hustle every night and day, Some are living the
high life, Under the
bright lights, While others get high and throw their lives away, And every night I
pray that I
don't go insane And end up just another product of the
city It's a
bit bit bit bit crazy up in the
big big big big smoke, If you're a
lil lil bit bit lazy you'll end up a
lil lil bit bit broke, Overseas it seems british folk are known for sniffing coke, Being quick witted, and wicked rich and sitting in boats, So every time I
travel abroad I've gotta set the
records straight, And represent for all the
people who can't afford to flipping go, I'm just an ordinary bloke amoungst all these different strokes, Trying to stay afloat without doing no fraud or dealing dope, Street lights, street life, all a
flipping joke, But I've come up a
bit, had a
good heart that toughened up a
bit, Look in the
mirror kissed the
good guy good bye, Then exchanged my pucker-up lips for a
stiff upper lip, Little rob's jacking, watch him hold'em up with arms, Kids are getting killed round these sides And certain role models ain't doing jack but holding up their arms, And that's just to do peace signs-these times are crazy [Chorus] No place for the
weak every race is chasing paper seven days of the
week, And the
streets just sound like music, 'cause kids care recording criminal records the
police are the
beat The
steaks are high and everybody wants to eat Youths use weapons as ladders to step up on these high streets, Equals violence, then comes the
violins, Then comes the
sirens, then comes the
silence, Life's the
best teacher and I'm trying to study hard, So I
can graduate up into the
upper class Front line like queen latifah in set it off, Take notes like a
bank robber in a
rubber mask, Frontline like Chiefa we take while others ask, Duct tape the
rap game, rape the
pop world, Make off take another path, maybe politics, No mate don't take that for another laugh, [Chorus]
