Nowhere City (feat. Slug of Atmosphere, Soweto Kinch & Thomas Jules)
Came from Nowhere City flagging showing true colours
Best to distance golden era growing who's sun us
The Big Boss changes style going Bruce on us
Throwin' up them signs fingered like the Juice Brothers
Shotgun willy illy women call me Willie Nelson
Tail is disappearing on my back like Minnie Mouse, and, Mandela
Women shout my name like Winnie
Flake became my trademark like we needin' seltzer
Put the feelers out
Pull back and we feed the drought
Settle scores even doubt
Maskin' Brittany scream and shout
Check the banger 'cause I never pushed the beamer out
Don't burn anything but never let the steam run out
Never run never hide Benny Mardones
Very dumb when them guys getting smartphones
Yeah, I chuck the burner in the cut
Getting further from the rut
Yeah I rap about my children like I'm sermon on the clutch
Used to be the feeder for the turkey when he cluck
Learn to be a crook, getting murky from the scuff
To hell what my Mums say
Maverick wrote this effing LP in one day
John Day, Conte, Regi-not, Ron Kray
Sell it oh a day a Harry, Belafonte
Eric B, there is B, junior take my dream, yeah
Yknow the eight has made me like I'm shaking Steve
My love goes deep for my city
Hearts bleed for my city
It's where I find peace of mind
The only way I sleep right
Is if I'm in the heart of the city
Cause I'm a part of my city
If you take the boy out
Mmmh watch the city fall down, fall down
This evening was the first snowfall of the season
Soundproof the city like you're frozen in time
By tomorrow it'll blend into the background freeze
They say that every snowflake is one of a kind
I was programmed to make many decisions
Based on the way things position right in front of my face
If the stakes are tall, how longs the drop?
The snowflakes drift down slow from the top
It's too late to take it back to the beginning
Back to when nobody really knew what they were building
It takes a village, there's gonna be some spillage
Just do your best to stay abreast of the illness
I never wrote a song for my money in my life
But for an affordable price
I will perform some of the songs that I write
And hopefully you'll hear the one that you like
Snowfall under the streetlight, a beautiful night
My love goes deep for my city
Hearts bleed for my city
It's where I find peace of mind
The only way I sleep right
Is if I'm in the heart of the city
Cause I'm a part of my City
If you take the boy out
Mmmh watch the city fall down, fall down
We've got the best- this is the best little city on- on earth
How do I know? I've been everywhere else!
I'm here now, right on the family patch
Yeah I know where it is I've been-
I've be- nobody can tell me anything
I don't read Daily Mirror and the Sun I go and have a look
I go and have a look and I've been
I've lived in the forests of North America
I've lived in the- the outback of the Ivory Coast
I've lived in India and Russia I wa-
Had my breakfast in Moscow and me- and me tea in Wood Street Nick!
Yeah! I've been about a bit
Best to distance golden era growing who's sun us
The Big Boss changes style going Bruce on us
Throwin' up them signs fingered like the Juice Brothers
Shotgun willy illy women call me Willie Nelson
Tail is disappearing on my back like Minnie Mouse, and, Mandela
