| Everybody wants to be famous,
|
| Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless,
|
| People act shameless
|
| Tryna live like entertainers,
|
| Want a fat crib with the acres,
|
| So they spend money that they ain’t made yet,
|
| Got a Benz on tick that they ain’t paid yet,
|
| Spend their paycheck
|
| In the west out on a weekend
|
| Got no money by the end of the weekend.
|
| But they don’t care cause their life is a movie,
|
| Starring Louis V, paid for by yours truly,
|
| Truthfully, it’s a joke, like a bad episode of hollyoaks,
|
| Can’t keep up with the cover notes,
|
| So they got bad credit livin' on direct debit in debt
|
| They still don’t get it
|
| Cause they too busy livin' the high life, the night life
|
| Huggin' the high when livin' it large
|
| And they all say
|
| Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
|
| And things go wrong no matter what I do
|
| (That's right)
|
| Now and then it seems like life is just too much
|
| But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
|
| Let me take you down to London city
|
| Where the attitude’s bad and the weather is shitty
|
| Everybody’s on a paper chase
|
| It’s one big rat race
|
| Everybody’s got a screw face
|
| So many two-faced,
|
| Checkin' their high sayin' they’re ready to ride
|
| I’m on the inside looking at the
|
| So it’s an accurate reflection
|
| City wide, north, east, west and the southside
|
| Everywhere I go there’s a goon on the corner
|
| Guns and drugs cause the city’s like a sauna
|
| And it’s getting warmer, and out of order
|
| Tryna put a struggling mother to a mourner
|
| Mr. Politician can you tell me the solution
|
| What’s the answer, what’s the conclusion
|
| Is it an illusion, is it a mirage
|
| I see youngsters die because they tryna live large
|
| And they all say
|
| Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
|
| I know I can count on all of you
|
| Sometimes I feel like saying «Lord, I just don’t care»
|
| (That's right, that’s right)
|
| But you’ve got the love I need to see me through
|
| (Check it, check it, come on, come on)
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| (That's right, that’s right, that’s right)
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| (Check it)
|
| We are living in the days of the credit crunch
|
| Give me the dough
|
| I’m tryna have a bunch
|
| But I can’t have rice for lunch
|
| It’s not there ain’t enough to share
|
| It ain’t fair never dreamed that he could be rare
|
| Who cares who dares to make a change
|
| Everybody’s in the club trying to make it rain
|
| But not for famine just for the sake of having
|
| 15 minutes of fame and everywhere’s the same
|
| Again and again I see the same thing
|
| Everybody acting like they play sailin'
|
| But I see rough seas ahead maybe a recession
|
| And then a depression in whatever profession
|
| This is my confession I can’t front I’m in the forefront
|
| Living for money ready to start like a bungee jump
|
| With no rope but I ain’t trying to see the bottom
|
| Because that’s where I came from, I ain’t forgotten,
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love)
|
| You got the love
|
| You got the love
|
| (That's right, that’s right, that’s right, that’s right)
|
| You got the love
|
| You got the love
|
| You got the love
|
| (Who's got the love, who’s got the love, who’s got the love)
|
| Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
|
| I know I can count on all of you
|
| Sometimes I feel like saying «Lord, I just don’t care»
|
| But you’ve got the love I need to see me through |
