Jimmy Davis - City lyrics

The gritty city flipped me to the darkside But I gotta be as wise as the serpent so I'm there part time Doing my thi-zing, envisaging what they can't I See the future clairvoyantly and boy I'm seeing hard times And they provide no compromise, huh, hard line So some of my design's to provide hard rhymes Harsh truths of the dark youts, shark eyed On the prowl, now like owls in the dark at night Take you down laughing like, ha ha ha ha ha Is nothing right? Na ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah Na neeny woi, zigga digga na na no no no I do not want to be a part of this I got to go oh oh Yo, cos the evil is upon you, yeh This going out to the wolves out there And I'm not on about the ones around the molineux You can run, but you cannot hide You can try, I will take your life You can run, but you cannot hide You can try, I will take your life BC where the streets are harsher the lessons tougher Stuck in the belly of the beast, call it the pressure cooker Where the rich never suffer and working class wages to them are fucking bread and butter Evening Mail yet another, Stabbing, fund stacking, fucking gun clapping Kids are lesson wagging, weapon grabbing, rizla bud packing, stood dragging On the weed man bunnin a spliff And then they get late teens and it's loving the sniff Then they get in to shottin and looking suttin to shift Thought the ship was on course but it's running adrift In the system constantly working Making a million moves entrepreneur 'ing Looking for peace and truth, sombre and hurting It's burning us inside, wrong and disturbing We're immersed in, this chaos Look at some that are stood in the maze lost But we're coming for the premier league Either taking the title or via the playoffs We're not having it, hope ? imagine it Coming to fill up the trophy cabinet Money we're stacking it, faith we're backing it Call life a bitch but you know that we're macking it The law of attraction's a magnet We saw more of the facts unravelling While they're caught in this trap like a labyrinth Rap but they're wack at it, Davis a maverick You can run, but you cannot hide You can try, I will take your life You can run, but you cannot hide You can try, I will take your life Cold blood in my veins, hot head on my shoulders You get no love there's no games Best stop there if I don't know ya Wolves howling at her gates, shout out to her soldiers Breed em like it's nothing then treat em like she don't know them And everybody wanna be the king of the street but no one can truly own em So while most living on the brink of defeat believing the future's golden Yeh, from the youts to the old ones So the door's shut even when it's open And so most slam whenever approaching So they mistake a setback for an omen, yeh And these kids got a lot to give, cos they don't wanna sit around shottin shit For the new kicks, new chicks and the whips They get shottin it yeh It's ironic but that's how they're living School's for the pupils without a vision Keep doin it fool but ain't down to listen Gotta stay useful fill out the prisons Yeh, and it's sad but true, that's why everything's black and blue From the bigwigs sitting in the savvy suits To the little kids on road slanging food So the deceit runs deep, we're all in for a piece And the city is a beast, but without us she'd be incomplete You can run, but you cannot hide You can try, I will take your life
