City Lyrics - Singles - Jimmy Davis

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
