City

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Seed MC] Now You can see me in Pellegrini's to start Double macchiato flowin' into my heart Really in the mood for brilliant crew silliness With many a brew and food to chew images Kickin' with executives and intelligent derelicts Last tram leavin', but I'm heavin' in the depths of it Behold the cobblestone galleries Huh, hallways from midnight tragedies Protest march past the Chinatown arch Where some left-wingers get delayed for yum cha A sweet blind busker bangin' on the guitar Playin' Hunters & Collectors to the suits in the bar, so come on! [Verse 2: Joelistics] Get with the game plan, just strap on ya Ray-Bans There's nothin' to say, man Money, exchange hands The rich and the poor hands, calloused and clawed hands God damn it, you just want it in your hands The city is a jungle made of concrete and glass Lions and tigers, antelope and giraffe From the clubs and the bars, the dark corners of pubs The soundtrack is sirens and car alarms You better use your charm to avoid the harm From a needle in the arm to a greased-up palm Single mothers on the pension, government henchmen Mechanics with engines, we all struggle to survive The minimum wage slaves workin' the long day Who struggle for more change than 725 The cops and the robbers and other people who profit From people paralysing pockets of poverty's frontline [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3: Seed MC] All of that, the maths that mix and match The massive amount of math, the graph, and lavatories The packs and their natrual habitats The cats that know the Metro [?] cracks the alleyways and maps Subways that don't catch no sunrays, infact Some say the city is a code you can crack When you're jumpin' on the block or you're rockin' with the trash Welcome to the area of culture and cash Money for cabs and corner shop pop advertisements Shop disturbance like a shock jock journalist All in all, it's turning me in Like a criminal confessin' a sin, it's a visceral thing [?] pretendin' ya silly, oblivious thing Walkin' on the city with a devilish grin Intricate, intimate, breeding them into species and genuses Metamorphosis [?] say it with me and sing Come on
