Oscar Dawson - One For The City lyrics

[Verse 1: Illy] Yeah, now I don't mean to brag but I'm a big city kid Gone with the wind, shoot from the hip And all across the world, no difference Every city in the world, at home within Man, it could be nothing like the hard life sh**, still a s**er for a skyline The open road's fine to write a couple of lines But the cities tell the story of a lifetime Cut; Lights, Camera, Action It's all that, everything you imagine It's right there, you can reach out and grab it Dreams turn reality big smoke magic Maybe I'm biased and maybe the set up Maybe it's just that I don't know no better City don't sleep, speakers at eleven If they got a question this is what I tell them (them) [Pre-Hook: Thomas Jules & Illy] Them city streets are endless Them bright lights catch the eye We push it to the limit We build it to the sky And anything can happen It's on you to roll the dice Hold tight and get ready to ride [Hook: Thomas Jules] I'm home, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight Said, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight [Verse 2: Illy] Yeah, you could live the dream Have it fall in your lap Fall in love or fall through the cracks Tough call to avoid those traps But in high-stakes business you gonna get that Take it from the streets to the penthouse suites All you need is a dream, a belief A little luck and a bit of guts to achieve Heart of the city, belly of the beast Yeah, what you pay for, cheap thrills ain't cheap Pay a high price if you wanna taste free All the good isn't always what it seems But that's fine with me, this is where I wanna be Amongst the bright lights and the beat of the city In any direction people are with me We get busy, what a trip, what a blessing They wanna question so I tell them [Pre-Hook: Thomas Jules & Illy] Them city streets are endless Them bright lights catch the eye We push it to the limit We build it to the sky And anything can happen It's on you to roll the dice Hold tight and get ready to ride [Hook: Thomas Jules] I'm home, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight Said, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight I'm home, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight Said, I'm home and I'm one for the city tonight [Outro: Thomas Jules] I'mma stay hard till the sun goes down Till the lights come out Till the lights go down And the sun comes up again I'mma stay hard till the sun goes down Till the lights come out Till the lights go down And the sun comes up again I'mma stay hard till the sun goes down Till the lights come out Till the lights go down And the sun comes up again I'mma stay hard till the sun goes down Till the lights come out Till the lights go down And the sun comes up again I was told a strong heart topples kings And that hope spring's eternal So remember one thing First they ignore you, then they laugh at you Then they fight you, and then you win My young bloods
