Jimmy Davis - CITY Lyrics
The gritty city flipped me to the darksideBut I gotta be as wise as the serpent so I’m there part timeDoing my thi-zing, envisaging what they can’t ISee the future clairvoyantly and boy I’m seeing hard timesAnd they provide no compromise, huh, hard lineSo some of my design’s to provide hard rhymesHarsh truths of the dark youts, shark eyedOn the prowl, now like owls in the dark at nightTake you down laughing like, ha ha ha ha haIs nothing right? Na ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ahNa neeny woi, zigga digga na na no no noI do not want to be a part of this I got to go oh ohYo, cos the evil is upon you, yehThis going out to the wolves out thereAnd I’m not on about the ones around the molineuxYou can run, but you cannot hideYou can try, I will take your lifeYou can run, but you cannot hideYou can try, I will take your lifeBC where the streets are harsher the lessons tougherStuck in the belly of the beast, call it the pressure cookerWhere the rich never suffer and working class wages to them are *****ing bread and butterEvening Mail yet another,Stabbing, fund stacking, *****ing gun clappingKids are lesson wagging, weapon grabbing, rizla bud packing, stood draggingOn the weed man bunnin a spliffAnd then they get late teens and it’s loving the sniffThen they get in to shottin and looking suttin to shiftThought the ship was on course but it’s running adriftIn the system constantly workingMaking a million moves entrepreneur ’ingLooking for peace and truth, sombre and hurtingIt’s burning us inside, wrong and disturbingWe’re immersed in, this chaosLook at some that are stood in the maze lostBut we’re coming for the premier leagueEither taking the title or via the playoffsWe’re not having it, hope … imagine itComing to fill up the trophy cabinetMoney we’re stacking it, faith we’re backing itCall life a ***** but you know that we’re macking itThe law of attraction’s a magnetWe saw more of the facts unravellingWhile they’re caught in this trap like a labyrinthRap but they’re wack at it, Davis a maverickYou can run, but you cannot hideYou can try, I will take your lifeYou can run, but you cannot hideYou can try, I will take your lifeCold blood in my veins, hot head on my shouldersYou get no love there’s no gamesBest stop there if I don’t know yaWolves howling at her gates, shout out to her soldiersBreed em like it’s nothing then treat em like she don’t know themAnd everybody wanna be the king of the street but no one can truly own emSo while most living on the brink of defeat believing the future’s goldenYeh, from the youts to the old onesSo the door’s shut even when it’s openAnd so most slam whenever approachingSo they mistake a setback for an omen, yehAnd these kids got a lot to give, cos they don’t wanna sit around shottin shitFor the new kicks, new chicks and the whipsThey get shottin it yehIt’s ironic but that’s how they’re livingSchool’s for the pupils without a visionKeep doin it fool but ain’t down to listenGotta stay useful fill out the prisonsYeh, and it’s sad but true, that’s why everything’s black and blueFrom the bigwigs sitting in the savvy suitsTo the little kids on road slanging foodSo the deceit runs deep, we’re all in for a pieceAnd the city is a beast, but without us she’d be incompleteYou can run, but you cannot hideYou can try, I will take your life
