City Of Gold |
We ain’t got no time, in the city of gold |
Trying to get me some sunshine |
An avoid the patrol |
Ah yea |
I’m fed up |
All I want is a little nice weather when I get |
A lot of people arrive zealous |
But life here’s, less than a dream, more a nightmare |
Welcome to the city of gold, the city I roam |
Home to the grittiest roads |
It’s hardly a party, getting our p’s |
On the same corner where women sell narni |
I live amongst vermin I’m stuck |
But I couldn’t give a, fuck as long as I’m earning |
Long been accustomed to the ways of the manor |
The filth are an occupational hazard |
Parked chilling in a car park grinning |
It’s gone midnight an I’m half past sinning |
Got a dark heart wicked with my ras clart lyrics |
I’m a bad boy you don’t wanna start no shit with |
We ain’t got no time |
(No time on these streets, everybody’s hungry and trying to eat) |
In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own, |
it’s hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold) |
Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here, |
never can you be easy, always gotta beware) |
An avoid the patrol (But that’s life in the inner city, |
up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies) |
Ah yea |
Time’s precious |
An it moves fast in a city full of bright lights and tight dresses |
Medusa’s that’ll seduce ya if ya ain’t ready |
A city that makes few and breaks many |
The city I’m in’s, less like the city of gold |
More like the city of sin |
Where everybody’s in it to win |
From villainous nippers to city slickers with sinister grins |
Straight, ain’t religous, never been into hynms |
An I pushed bars before I’d ever been in a gym |
So for my freedom I keep hoping |
Cause I don’t wanna walk through the doors these keys open |
I don’t know if you think it’s nice or something? |
But I can show you a different side to London |
To think you came here for the treasure? |
But nobody ever came here for the weather |
We ain’t got no time |
(No time on these streets, everybody’s hungry and trying to eat) |
In the city of gold |
(Everybody's out for their own, |
it’s hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold) |
Tryin to get me some sunshine |
(It's hard to find peace here, never can you be easy, |
always gotta beware) |
An avoid the patrol (But that’s life in the inner city, |
up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies) |
Ah yea |
Jack the lad I put the work in |
For the wage of sin |
Even if by some poor sod’s loss |
I care not I will take the win |
Many came so full of hope |
Only to be deflated |
The roads we walk ain’t paved in gold |
Alone is how our days spent |
Don’t think cause I’m polite that I’m nice g |
Or cause I’m well dressed I ain’t grimy |
I got food for them city heads |
Just another aggie yout that the city bread |
The cloud I’m under thunders loud |
I ain’t waiting for the day the sun comes out |
If you wonder what I’m under now |
The same shit I was and will be till I’m underground |
We ain’t got no time |
(No time on these streets, everybody’s hungry and trying to eat) |
In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own, |
it’s hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold) |
Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here, |
never can you be easy, always gotta beware) |
An avoid the patrol (But that’s life in the inner city, |
up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies) |
Ah yea |
