The City

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Living in the city, the city, the whole city (Ey, blud!) Too gritty, it's gritty Little girls wanna push up the tity, the whole tity Little picky-head-yutes on road are so lippy Babylon run the town, the whole city, no doubt Handcuffs, stamped out, no pity The kiddies Wanna be like Fiddy and Biggie and 2Pac Little villains, no feelings, they're killing and stealing Stick cats like Blu Tac Listen, the city we live in; full of sinning And I'm bringing the truth back Been in a spin and gone stinging myself On top of the game like roof racks Sitting in a cell and I dwell on the way life is Thinking to myself, 'One day I'll get righteous.' City life, hyper-crime and drug prices rises Masterminds and thug guys Stick a lot of cats, pick a lock Lick a shot again Picking up a box doin' drops on the lot of them Busy in the city, the city, and getting hot again Kiddies in the blocks, sell rocks to get a lot of when [Chorus] (The city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) (In the city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) [Verse 2] (Yuh, yuh!) Living in the city of darkness Next step, visiting my dearly departed Restless, kids got skeng and peng And want sectors them who pretend they're friends And want extras Dirty in the grizzle I pickle a little figure with a riddle to cripple the main census That's me Never could I work in a factory Or sit up in an office so the government tax me (Fuck them!) I would be the dinner to a killer gorilla who's getting iller for the scrilla to deal him a villa Mad dust like he's Windy the Miller, for realer! Still I'm sitting in the grip of the man in the mirror And it's badder than ever The blacker the weather Backing up whatever's adding up clever (And sometimes!) Life's like an untrained police dog Living in the city, the city that don't sleep, blud [Chorus] (The city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) (In the city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) (The city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) (In the city!) Time goes by without living (The city!) Life and death are too gritty (In the city!) Grimy times and no pity (Living in the city, the city, the whole city!) [Outro] (In the city, in the city... In the city, in the city...)
