Devlin – London City Pt 2 Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
- I'm on the a406 in a car with a click
- While I glance at the bits,
- The city looks dark in the mist so high
- I forgot who just passed me on this,
- All I ever did want was a chance to exist,
- From writing bars up in my bedroom back when I started,
- I can't explain how it feels when I here em all chanted my shit,
- Alot of love for the city that I made my name in,
- when I first hit rinse inside of the grimiest basement,
- a white chapel under the pavement,
- shout out to the fans all over the manors I've played in,
- you've been amazing, tonight were in London city,
- but you know I'm on a UK thing..
Chorus
- I've gotta show love for the city,
- I made my career, my name, my money, my fame in London city,
- You'll still find me in London city,
- In the grind, hustle and bussle out to every other UK city.
Verse 2
- It's funny how time flys, I'm 22 now were in 2012,
- with the olympics here at our doorstep,
- its time to welcome the world,
- inside the historic metropolis,
- some call heaven and some call hell, L O N D O N,
- you can tell by the way that its spelt
- this place is a lone on out for its self,
- with the streets of manic in grid lock traffic,
- I think about the things I've managed to achieve
- in a dream that seemed so graphic,
- that it must be real, I come through the darkness,
- signed my deal, with mikey, colin and victor behind the records,
- I look back at the pictures still..
Chorus
- I've gotta show love for the city,
- I made my career, my name, my money, my fame in London city,
- You'll still find me in London city,
- In the grind, hustle and bussle out to every other UK city.
Verse 3
- I've worked all over the capital, north, south, east, west,
- if you like the citys my wife,
- I've seen the bitch at her worst and her best,
- since my debut video, life ain't the same in a sense,
- I'm signed at major events all the time,
- and more baked than an 8 foot fed with dreads,
- I moved outta my mums, to a nice little drum
- and I don't hear sirens sounding when I try sleeping,
- just peace when the evening comes,
- alot of things have changed,
- from making London city, at the bottom of the big wheel,
- Shorditch then Piccadilly, but me I'm the same..
Chorus
- I've gotta show love for the city,
- I made my career, my name, my money, my fame in London city,
- You'll still find me in London city,
- In the grind, hustle and bussle out to every other UK city.
Outro
- Let your hair down in London city,
- everybody just keep moving with me,
- just keep boucing with me, just keep rolling with me [x2]
