No, you can't stop our movement And it's nothing cash can buy We stand the pressure, and we stand it heads up high Yeah so try hard to break us Try to force us down on the pave We will get up and survive With the crimes so high and income so low Kids have got no say where the tower blocks rule To get a real chance is all they try But no one can take their soul away You call the shots, rich and pretty But you scum don't know what's on here in the city Poor in rags - so are we With a sound made on the street where our hearts still beat
You will never make it to the top Without dosh, relations and no job But comradeship's the way we trust And no one can buy this spirit from us You call the shots, rich and neat But you scum don't know what's on here in the city Poor in rags - so are we Keep this sound out on the street where it belongs to me No, you can't stop our movement And it's none your cash can buy We stand the pressure doesn't matter what you try Yeah so try hard to break us Try to force us down on the pave We will get up and survive SPIRIT OF THE STREETS
