London Tales
London Tales...
Brazilian girl oh my dear
I see you notice as they stare
Your curves make you insecure
But fit the clothes that you wear
I'm like Vujanic have a nice
You're so Hispanic with your spice
As a kid you loved kites
Now you're steady catching flights
If you're with me take a trip
Coz my visa's too legit uh
Slip and slide adventures though I got a firm grip
Got an appetite for lust there's not a meal that I'll skip
You want a taste of life this city provides more than a few sips
Starbucks on every corner and you like a skinny latte
Home cooked meals and your rice a bit al dente
Open mic at Troy they feel you when they hear your voice
Leaving out the building self esteem is feeling poised
Hoxton bar on the roof, and your cocktail is the truth
Me I'll have a mocktail feeling soft as the blues
Jamming out from the juke box
Creeping like Uncle Snoop
Though I'm stabbing every track leaving blood on the tune
And we're ever most alive when it comes to summer time
Spend the night in Sky garden
Take a walk by the London eye
Say good bye to mediocrity au revoir or bye bye
On the road to the fast life
Take a leap of faith and sky dive
Out in the 02 arena supporting your favorite artists
Performances at local gigs where they always talking the hardest
Love the city coz it's multi cultured
Don't chase your dreams it'll haunt ya
It's in my head like an acupuncture
That's my devotion, it's how I function
You're on the west mixing concoction
I'm in the south like an abduction
My cross roads, crossed every junction
Made choices, more options
Let's make a toast, a celebration
To the yearly renovations
Stories about days in Brixton walking down on the pavement
I've been down like in the basement, hard working overseas
My cousins live in London though we hardly ever see
The city's filled with life, colour, hope and bourgeoisie
Occasional casualties we hear that ain't cool by me
Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square - working class in tuxedos
Me and bestie sight seeing, at Tortillas we cop burritos
You should thank me for the info
I'll provide you on the daily
Tourists attractions are lazy and
I don't care if you rate me
Inspired by graffiti in Shoreditch take a walk by Brick lane
Converse with strangers on different walks of life we switch lanes
Power bikes, Lamborghinis
Heating up the inner city
Pedestrians stare like watching an act performed by Houdini
We in the city of angels where the devil wears Prada
You wouldn't bite your tongue Mami if you call me dada
I just watch these bluffers strut I bounce like impalas
Pocket full of pounds keep my high like your favourite lala
This isn't Miami vice, nor a Las Vegas night
This isn't SA, don't tempt me
It's still F the police
To you rappers we don't need your lukewarm flows for these cold nights
And we wonder why we these one hit wonders come and go, I'm
Starting to feel a shift of change in energy
My mind's constantly evolving I've quit blending in
I feel alive more than ever it's getting harder to quit
My dreams are becoming more vivid
I'm sleep telling it uh
These are my London tales
If you've been listening and paying attention
I'm still on this great adventure
I'm in like the eighth dimension
No this is not no fairy tale
It's too real
Don't squeal
Just enjoy the tale
These are my London tales
If you've been listening and paying attention
I'm still on this great adventure
I'm in like the eighth dimension
No this is not no fairy tale
It's too real
Don't squeal
Just enjoy the tale
