City Of Gold
I'm fed upAll I want is a little nice weather when I get upA lot of people arrive zealousBut life here's, less a dream, more a nightmareWelcome to the city of gold, the city I roamHome to the grittiest roadsIt's hardly a party, getting our p'sOn the same corner where women sell narniI live amongst vermin I'm stuckBut I couldn't give a, fuck as long as I'm earningLong been accustomed to the ways of the manorThe filth are an occupational hazardParked chilling in a car park grinningIt's gone midnight an I'm half past sinningGot a dark heart wicked with my ras clart lyricsI'm a bad boy you don't wanna start no shit with
ChorusLeeWe ain't got no time In the city of goldTryin to get me some sunshineAn avoid the patrolAh yeaGreenNo time on these streetsEverybody's hungry and trying to eatEverybody's out for their ownIt's hot round 'ere even when your out in the coldIt's hard to find peace hereNever can you be easy, always gotta bewareBut that's life in the inner cityUp to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies
Verse 2Time's preciousAn it moves fast in a city full of bright lights and tight dressesMedusa's that'll seduce ya if ya ain't readyA city that makes few and breaks manyThe city I'm in's, less like the city of goldMore like the city of sinWhere everybody's in it to winFrom villainous nippers to city slickers with sinister grinsStraight, ain't religous, never been into hynmsAn I pushed bars before I'd ever been in a gymSo for my freedom I keep hopingCause I don't wanna walk through the doors these keys openI don't know if you think it's nice or something?But I can show you a different side to LondonTo think you came here for the treasure?But nobody ever came here for the weather
ChorusLeeWe ain't got no time In the city of goldTryin to get me some sunshineAn avoid the patrolAh yeaGreenNo time on these streetsEverybody's hungry and trying to eatEverybody's out for their ownIt's hot round 'ere even when your out in the coldIt's hard to find peace hereNever can you be easy, always gotta bewareBut that's life in the inner cityUp to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies
Verse 3Jack the lad I put the work inFor the wage of sinEven if by some poor sod's lossI care not I will take the winMany came so full of hopeOnly to be deflatedThe roads we walk ain't paved in goldAlone is how our days spentDon't think cause I'm polite that I'm nice gOr cause I'm well dressed I ain't grimyI got food for them city headsJust another aggie yout that the city breadThe cloud I'm under thunders loudI ain't waiting for the day the sun comes outIf you wonder what I'm under now?The same shit I was and will be till I'm under ground
ChorusLeeWe ain't got no time In the city of goldTryin to get me some sunshineAn avoid the patrolAh yeaGreenNo time on these streetsEverybody's hungry and trying to eatEverybody's out for their ownIt's hot round 'ere even when your out in the coldIt's hard to find peace hereNever can you be easy, always gotta bewareBut that's life in the inner cityUp to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies
