City Of Gold

Professor Green

    Continues after the ad

    [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
