[00:04.33]Hoping for something better
[00:10.01]Hoping for something better
[00:11.43]I'm from where we have little respect for the law
[00:13.61]And even less for rich people that pretend to be poor
[00:16.48]Cold blooded hold grudges settle our scores
[00:19.73]Live low budget commit benefit fraud
[00:22.42]No justice, I perish the thought
[00:25.14]Fuck weapons of war, chose the pen instead of the sword
[00:28.08]Try and relate, we're forced to acquire a taste
[00:31.23]For food past expiry dates
[00:33.58]Who’s deciding my fate?
[00:34.89]Will I rise to where messiah awaits?
[00:36.65]Or plunge into hell's fiery lakes
[00:39.30]They fight till the death, stay bad to the bone
[00:41.98]Turn the price on your head to a tag on your toe
[00:44.84]Live and direct, never watered down
[00:47.49]I'm living life on the edge till someone talks me down
[00:50.72]Grew up on the wrong side of the tracks
[00:53.09]Stuck in London's underbelly fighting for scraps
[00:56.40]This is where we live
[00:57.42]This is where we die
[00:58.53]This is where we laugh
[00:59.55]This is where we cry
[01:00.63]Hoping for something better
[01:02.14]This is where we dream
[01:03.04]This is where we work
[01:04.10]This is where we bleed
[01:05.14]This is where we hurt
[01:06.20]So let's come together
[01:07.65]This is where we live
[01:08.41]This is where we die
[01:09.58]This is where we laugh
[01:10.70]This is where we cry
[01:11.78]Hoping fo something better
[01:13.08]This is where we dream
[01:14.14]This is where we work
[01:15.31]This is where we bleed
[01:16.38]This is where we hurt
[01:17.38]So let's come together
[01:18.73]A place where silent nights are nonexistent
[01:21.30]Life of crime violent fights and constant killings
[01:24.37]Making right and wrong decisions
[01:25.94]If it's a free country, why do I feel trapped by the cost of living?
[01:29.88]I'm between a nine to five and writing rhymes
[01:33.03]You gotta take what you want or get what you're given
[01:35.38]So true
[01:35.79]A loss of vision from things shining bright
[01:38.41]Is what your blinded by
[01:39.74]Stop
[01:40.29]And listen
[01:41.12]Cause everything that glitters ain't gold
[01:43.05]And ain't no turning back cause life is like a one way road
[01:46.64]We're seen differently through the eye of big brother
[01:49.54]Though we all bleed red despite the skin colour
[01:52.69]I feel like I'm fucked 'till my times up
[01:55.35]Cause reality bites and life sucks
[01:57.82]Blood, we're in a trap and gonna get the fuck out somehow
[02:01.76]Ask my boy Keedo
[02:02.94]He know
[02:03.85]This is where we live
[02:04.81]This is where we die
[02:05.89]This is where we laugh
[02:06.93]This is where we cry
[02:08.09]Hoping for something better
[02:09.56]This is where we dream
[02:10.41]This is where we work
[02:11.51]This is where we bleed
[02:12.53]This is where we hurt
[02:13.61]So let's come together
[02:14.93]This is where we live
[02:15.98]This is where we die
[02:17.05]This is where we laugh
[02:18.13]This is where we cry
[02:19.26]Hoping for something better
[02:20.46]This is where we dream
[02:21.60]This is where we work
[02:22.80]This is where we bleed
[02:23.83]This is where we hurt
[02:24.86]So let's come together
[02:26.14]This is London where the devil never calls in advance
[02:28.60]Because smoke
[02:29.43]Life's a journey
[02:29.98]I'm just walking the path
[02:31.49]Growing up I learned some big lessons
[02:33.57]With weapons lives come to swift ends in split seconds
[02:37.01]Best believe, we ain't playing happy families
[02:39.58]At times my yard's descended into savage anarchy
[02:42.94]Most lack morality
[02:44.27]Money ain't the root of all evil its people's selfish rationality
[02:49.04]One love to my brothers in arms
[02:51.23]And those struggling past on government grants
[02:54.77]We're all exactly the same
[02:55.80]We battle in vain like blood cells fighting off cancerous plague
[02:59.54]Rogues roaming on road holding loaded revolvers
[03:02.23]So I got my eyes open looking over my shoulder
[03:05.49]Morals dissolve in the crack smoke
[03:07.70]This is London
[03:08.80]Where blood runs colder than cash flow
[03:11.15]This is where we live
[03:12.27]This is where we die
[03:13.36]This is where we laugh
[03:14.39]This is where we cry
[03:15.47]Hoping for something better
[03:16.87]This is where we dream
[03:17.87]This is where we work
[03:18.97]This is where we bleed
[03:19.97]This is where we hurt
[03:21.00]So let's come together
[03:22.53]This is where we live
[03:23.44]This is where we die
[03:24.46]This is where we laugh
[03:25.55]This is where we cry
[03:26.65]Hoping for something better
[03:28.15]This is where we dream
[03:29.05]This is where we work
[03:30.15]This is where we bleed
[03:31.20]This is where we hurt
[03:32.33]So let's come together
[03:33.33]This is London!!!
