[Damon Albarn]
Some stories told in London Town
From the east and the west we come
And we'll all feel better tomorrow
When the lord does come
[Kano]
It could a Cartier or a Rolex
Presidential threat to magary
Hang tight yes I can tell by the heartbeat
And you can probably take a pretty chick from a party
But guess what time don't wait for no man
Upside down from no sand it won't slow down
It's going it's going 'till it's gone
It feels right 'till you notice that it's gone
And why can't we all get along
It's peace whenever I turn the mic on
It's beef whenever I turn to violence
It's deep in the east I'm deep in the beats
I sleep on the beach and see my nephew it's E23
Am I easily pleased uum I just wanna clean up my community
And throw a party for the whole street hardly asking for a whole leap
It's deeper than music it's a movement now sing along to it
[Chorus]
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
But sometimes you have to fight hustle grind struggle
And you get no peace and too much trouble no range rover with rims on
Put your headphones on and sing along
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
If you just get by the pence and ain't got no money for the rent
When your self motivations gone put your headphones on and sing along
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

[Kano]
Look times of the essence rhyming's a weapon
Metal detectors and lines at the entrance
See I made the news when my gig booed
Same show next year no violence at all
But no more rap breaks and academies
But I'd like to see them shut down McD's
Cause they shootin' nah made you look
Give a stage and a page from a check book
Did use a few G's to the police
Just to put a show on for the fans to see
If you listen the I'll spit the lyric
In N.W.A style and start k**in' 'em
Nah I just wanna make them see
Spit my verses say my piece
Get off my back it'll make my sleep
A hell of a lot easier this week
Cause time in the present life is a lesson
I'm still learning trying for perfection
I'm still giving you fire on the record
The vinyl's like Ryan Hughes fireballs
Yes I've got the road the world's my oyster
I want the globe it's DDDamon you already know
KKA N to the O if mumsies hardly at home
You and your bro share the same clothes
Work ain't done cause your baby sittin'
Fell free sing along to the riddim
[Chorus]
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
If you grew up without no dad
And enerything you want you can't have
Lost love ones and you really miss em'
Feel free sing along to the riddim
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Just feel free sing along to the riddim
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
