This city breathes,
Walks, talks and makes our stomach’s heave,
Minds far from ease,
A critical living disease,
Infested with bacteria,
Mind of its own,
Kids be hearing ya,
The speaker is the key to the dome,
Our shoddy streets and pollution,
Emphasises reason for revolution,
Mr. Blair, i don’t pardon my intrusion,
cos ak,has made space for the rebel race,
North London is the place,
Where they call me the ace,
I belong in this city,
Without it I’m faceless,
but this city without me is tasteless,
We combine like starsky n hutch,
I’m too real to touch,
I’m concealed in this hood,
But to me it’s enough,
Too young to lay behind bars,
I was never to young to ride in stolen cars,
And rip the wildest bars,
Three scars,
A shady figure,
And a tape of jigga,
Would make my day go quicker,
While I nod to the beat and watch my boys down liquor,
This is what we do,
Me and my crew,
The London way,
Yo, E take it away

This life is trife...but i was born into it
Inspired the fire of this ill rap fluid
Goals I'm tryin to achieve....but the air is gettin harder to breathe....//
I might be better off if I just leave
Out here niggas don't wear their emotions on their sleeves
My eyes have seen the horror...things u wouldn't believe...
Do I stay or do I cheat?
Of course I want to but... You treat me so damn cheap
I know you don't love me....and you only play to keep
That's why my writings on the wall BITCH...so Read em' and weep
This is for all my poor righteous teachers
Garbabe men, school bus drivers and streep sweepers
They never got a chance to dance with romace
Thier lives were consumed by bills, loans, and finance
La's on its last leg yo....
This is its last chance
Before I gotta go
If you want us to grow....let your love show
Or no....
I'll go with the best flow
And fastest pace
I love this lifestlye
Evevn more... I love the chase
For my cities affection
Though life is hard up on the bulevard
Emotions scared
But we got this upspoken connection
I know you feel it to...
The feeling is hard to ignore
So you gotta embrace ME...
But even though I take breaks from the sun and earth quakes
Forever I'll be
(213)
