[Intro - Fast Crew]
Hoo-ooh, hoo-ooh
Hoo-ooh, Hoo-ooh
[Hook - Fast Crew]
Because I walk this way, yo that don't mean a thing (oooh)
Don't have to ?sit your thing? every time I talk this way (oooh)
Yo yo it's me being me and I'm just doing my thing
Don't have to ?counteract? to every fool with something to say
(Yeah) Just embrace this and play this, the quickness crusaders
The mix is outrageous, they think they can change this
I'm free and trying to speak with the freedom of speech
Cause we speak clear
For Suburbia Streets
[Verse 1 - Jerome Fortune]
These Suburbia Streets
Be one hell of a place
Behind the palace gates
Be the familiar face
Of the men moaning about paying suburbian rates
And that girl in the car with the personalised plates
The lady in lace
Collecting the mail
While her husband waits by the door while I'm watching his girl
Watching me next door
Watching this girl
As we chuckle to ourselves and exchange a smile. Now come on!
[Verse 2 - Kid Deft]
Suburbia Street
Man I'm gonna hit this crack open
And the rap brothers ?folders?
Hoping in the darkness
As the lights all spark this
And all through the night we stay tight regardless
And artists ?style?
Is free to speak, free to roam
And be all around the globe, but I still know where my home is
Safe for child's play and there's minimal homeless
If I had my way nothing would change
You know this
[Hook - Fast Crew]
Because I walk this way, you're the dominant thing (oooh)
Don't have to ?sit your thing? every time I talk this way (oooh)
Yo yo it's me being me and I'm just doing my thing
Don't have to ?counteract? to every fool with something to say
(Yeah) Just embrace this and play this, the quickness crusaders
The mix is outrageous, they think they can change this
I'm free and trying to speak with the freedom of speech
Cause we speak clear
For Suburbia Streets
[Verse 3 - Becks]
Suburbia is packed with all them cats you'd like to know
We got high profile and middle cla** ?? and he's a problem everywhere you go
When you walk the streets at night don't stress the creakin' sneakin' step
Nobody's speakin'
The people are peekin'
And the night's alive
So we let us all know.?>
[Verse 4 - Diablo]
Kicking it at home again I know
I'm all on my own
A Murray mix with Jackie ?papers?
A skyline of skyscrapers
And vapours that got me thinkin' like there's no one at home
But I got the essence and the presence to get me in the zone
We are the glue of the city
It's why we're holding it down
Without the Crew we have no glue and you'll be floating around
Leave the pressure behind, this is the dawn of a new day
Be awake, and no mistaking because I walk this way
[Hook - Fast Crew]
Because I walk this way, you're the dominant thing (oooh)
Don't have to ? your thing every time I talk this way (oooh)
Yo yo it's me being me and I'm just doing my thing
Don't have to ?counteract? to every fool with something to say
(Yeah) Just embrace this and play this, the quickness crusaders
The mix is outrageous, they think they can change this
I'm free and trying to speak with the freedom of speech
Cause we speak clear
For Suburbia Streets
[Verse 5 - Kid Deft]
My street, my hood
Sights and smells so familiar now
With a million towns
It's silly, I'm willing to lay down
And disappear like guerilla (warfare)
Thinking in my (cortex)
Just as long as it's (here)
Just another civilian chilling up on my doorstep
Just another million that roll up in their Corvette
Just another feeling I'm getting from steamed courgettes
Family dinners, brand new porch sets
[Verse 6 - Jerome Fortune]
We got a crew that (run deep)
Treat us as the (band geeks)
I could tax the (police) no need for no beef
We got singers rappers clappin' to those who bang beats
Them cats who loose sleep so the Fast could succeed
Hell I'm feeling this place, cards out, dealin' the ace, pleadin' my case
Be wise to the silly sea games
Everybody in Suburbia ya'll be k**ing for a piece of this and that
Everybody goin' be coming back
[Hook - Fast Crew]
Because I walk this way, you're the dominant thing (oooh)
Don't have to ? your thing every time I talk this way (oooh)
Yo yo it's me being me and I'm just doing my thing
Don't have to ?counteract? to every fool with something to say
(Yeah) Just embrace this and play this, the quickness crusaders
The mix is outrageous, they think they can change this
I'm free and trying to speak with the freedom of speech
Cause we speak clear
For Suburbia Streets
[Outro - Talk box voice]
