Professor Green – City Of Gold Lyrics
Lyrics
Chorus
- We ain't got no time, in the city of gold
- Trying to get me some sunshine
- An avoid the patrol
- Ah yea
Verse 1
- I'm fed up
- All I want is a little nice weather when I get
- A lot of people arrive zealous
- But life here's, less than a dream, more a nightmare
- Welcome to the city of gold, the city I roam
- Home to the grittiest roads
- It's hardly a party, getting our p's
- On the same corner where women sell narni
- I live amongst vermin I'm stuck
- But I couldn't give a, fuck as long as I'm earning
- Long been accustomed to the ways of the manor
- The filth are an occupational hazard
- Parked chilling in a car park grinning
- It's gone midnight an I'm half past sinning
- Got a dark heart wicked with my ras clart lyrics
- I'm a bad boy you don't wanna start no shit with
Chorus
- We ain't got no time
- (No time on these streets, everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
- In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own, it's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
- Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here, never can you be easy, always gotta beware)
- An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city, up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
- Ah yea
Verse 2
- Time's precious
- An it moves fast in a city full of bright lights and tight dresses
- Medusa's that'll seduce ya if ya ain't ready
- A city that makes few and breaks many
- The city I'm in's, less like the city of gold
- More like the city of sin
- Where everybody's in it to win
- From villainous nippers to city slickers with sinister grins
- Straight, ain't religous, never been into hynms
- An I pushed bars before I'd ever been in a gym
- So for my freedom I keep hoping
- Cause I don't wanna walk through the doors these keys open
- I don't know if you think it's nice or something?
- But I can show you a different side to London
- To think you came here for the treasure?
- But nobody ever came here for the weather
Chorus
- We ain't got no time
- (No time on these streets, everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
- In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own, it's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
- Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here, never can you be easy, always gotta beware)
- An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city, up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
- Ah yea
Verse 3
- Jack the lad I put the work in
- For the wage of sin
- Even if by some poor sod's loss
- I care not I will take the win
- Many came so full of hope
- Only to be deflated
- The roads we walk ain't paved in gold
- Alone is how our days spent
- Don't think cause I'm polite that I'm nice g
- Or cause I'm well dressed I ain't grimy
- I got food for them city heads
- Just another aggie yout that the city bread
- The cloud I'm under thunders loud
- I ain't waiting for the day the sun comes out
- If you wonder what I'm under now
- The same shit I was and will be till I'm underground
Chorus
- We ain't got no time
- (No time on these streets, everybody's hungry and trying to eat)
- In the city of gold (Everybody's out for their own, it's hot round 'ere even when your out in the cold)
- Tryin to get me some sunshine (It's hard to find peace here, never can you be easy, always gotta beware)
- An avoid the patrol (But that's life in the inner city, up to bother trying not to get collared by the piggies)
- Ah yea
