Neighbourhood Hit - Live Version

Lyrics

[Spoken: Solo] You should have seen him when he saw this piano, man. He was like, all his Christmases came at once. Give it up y'all! He nearly missed the plane this morning and when he turned up he was like, "Uh, I was just practicing a little bit." Now I can see why. What the fuck was that, man?! Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy. Very blessed to have these dudes on stage with us this evening. Alright, let's do this. [Verse 1: Solo] When I step up in the place with the swagger of a genuine pride It's the return of the kids bombing mainline Spitting rhymes written from the same drive That had us out till daybreak hitting the train line Laces strapped, tins tucked in your backpack Chasing dreams that we traced out of graff mags We studied lessons from a culture of kings Who coulda known what tomorrow would bring? See there are walls in the streets 'round my neighbourhood that read like photo albums Moments in time, frozen for those who know about 'em Snapshots of kids growing up, staking their claim Now the very same kids are tryna blow it up And there's been some stormy weather, but whatever Believe me and my brothers, we weather it together Till I'm old and grey and my words fade away Like plum purple in the sun's rays, I'ma rep the One Day [Chorus: Joyride & Solo] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change We used to try to keep the neighbourhood hit Now the same dudes are tryna write the neighbourhood hit We went from back lanes to backstage, and now We spray words without paint, time waits For no man, so we got no time to waste Joyride, what you gotta tell 'em, man? (Yo, yo) [Verse 2: Joyride] I said, "We ain't that sick, but we need ambulances" Got Tony Danza stanzas, who's the boss of the manner? I'm a boss with some manners, I mind my p's and q's You're excused if you think that you could fill my shoes Hate bein' rude, but if it's about to go down Feel free to count me in like James Brown One, two, three, fo', and get on up And if you lookin' for a sure thing, bet on us 'Cause we pay about a dollar-oh-four Every time we step offstage they holler for more [?] 'cause every track that One Day's on Is as big as [?] and the house always wins Go on and pop a headspin for your fellas Got the kind of ladies makin' all the hooties get jealous Mm-hmm, they cut like Cialis 'Cause she's starin' into my balls like fortune tellers, ha [Chorus: Joyride & Solo] One day is what we chase, but now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change Try and keep the neighbourhood hit Same dudes is tryna get the neighbourhood hit We went from back lanes to backstage, and now We spray words without paint, time waits For no man Y'all didn't know he could rhyme too did you, huh? Yo [Verse 3: Solo] If I never sell a record I can still feel I've made it 'Cause I've shared stages with some of my heroes I'm not talkin' 'bout the headline act, the rap superstars Nah, I'm talkin' 'bout the boys that I grew up with The same kids when I look back in 10 years time I hope I'm able to say I blew up with I grew up quick, no time to waste time Time waits for no man, I'll design my fate The same kids puttin' up out for the fame, but The medium's changed from streets and paint To beats and words, and we got a new canvas Forget the neighbourhood, we takin' the whole earth See I believe in my One Day fam The One Day heads will chant the words across the land Until that time I stay on the grind With some faith even a sinner can turn water into wine [Chorus: Joyride & Solo] The one day is what we chasin' now We out for much more than fame, I guess some things change We used to try to keep the neighbourhood hit Now the same dudes are tryna write the neighbourhood hit We went from back lanes to backstage, and now We spray words without paint, time waits For no man, so we got no time to waste It's just me and my brothers chillin' with none other [Break: Solo & The Audience] Now when we say, "One Day," you say "All day" "One Day," "All day," "One Day," "All day" When we say, "One Day," you say "All day" "One Day," "All day," "One Day," "All day" When we say, "One Day," you say "All day" "One Day," "All day," "One Day," "All day" [Spoken: Solo & Joyride] One last time ladies and gentleman, would you please make some noise for Jono Graham on the guitar.
