Jammz - It's a London Thing lyrics

[Intro: MC Styles sample] It's a London thing It's a London thing It's a London thing It's a London thing [Verse 1: Jammz] Dons I do it for my London dons All of the north side and the east side dons All of the south side and the west side dons I'm from a place where the city don't sleep So man can't roll with the tek time dons Hungry, you know me, I've gotta get mine, don I don't wanna be a struggle or a get-by don Zone Anywhere I go, I come back to the zone Raised in the estates and the flats in the zone Way too many talented cats in the zone Remember back then, it was all on top And you easily could've got rapped in the zone Couldn't ever roll on your Jack Jones in the zone But it's mad cuh we still go back to the zone [Pre-Hook: Jammz] Cuh this one's for my Gs in the north, Gs in the west And all my Gs in the south Can't forget Gs in the east That keep it lowkey and don't speak when police are about Living on the minimum wage, trying to escape But we just can't leave it and bounce You can take man out the ends But I still know where I am [Hook: MC Styles & Jammz] It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my Gs tryna go from the bottom to the top Tell 'em it's a London ting It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my dons in the rat race tryna get gwop Tell 'em it's a London ting [Verse 2: Jammz] Ends For my whole life, man's lived in the ends Gotta be aware and think in the ends Observe and I watch things in the ends We're living in the most paradoxical place Cause there's so many opposite things in the ends A lot of poor and rich kids in the ends There's a lot of small and big cribs in the ends Small kids move big bits in the ends Act broke and dress like they're rich in the ends It ain't nature when I tell a man There's a lot of snow, trees and sticks in the ends You ain't gotta go to a Homebase store If you wanna buy boxes and bricks in the ends Got no love for the pigs in the ends Impossible, man can't snitch in the ends Corporations move poor people out their homes And they claim that they're fixing the ends And apart from pushing up all the rent prices These Starbucks ain't doing sh** for the ends And they must know that we ain't rich But there's still bare William Hills in the ends So f** these Conservative leaders cause Not one of them cares for the kids in the ends [Pre-Hook: Jammz] Cuh this one's for my Gs in the north, Gs in the west And all my Gs in the south Can't forget Gs in the east That keep it lowkey and don't speak when police are about Living on the minimum wage, trying to escape But we just can't leave it and bounce You can take man out the ends But I still know where I am [Hook: MC Styles & Jammz] It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my Gs tryna go from the bottom to the top Tell 'em it's a London ting It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my dons in the rat race tryna get gwop Tell 'em it's a London ting [Hook: MC Styles & Jammz] It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my Gs tryna go from the bottom to the top Tell 'em it's a London ting It's a London thing Tell 'em it's a London ting I do it for my dons in the rat race tryna get gwop Tell 'em it's a London ting [Outro: Jammz] Welcome to my bits Seen it all before but still there ain't anything like this And every other street's got a parallel lifestyle Call this sh** Londonitis You can't deny this So much sh** going on, you don't know the half of it That's why I laugh at it All in plain sight but it's coming like you closed your eyelids Cuh more time, my city's not nice, it's Gritty and violent, gunshots firing Daytime little kids riding Night time, stepping and sliding Catch man, grip him and slice him A girl screams in the street, innocent citizen Pulls out their phone, not to phone police But to film the whole thing And ask "why's he like this?"
