ATG - City Life lyrics

[Intro] [Hook] [Verse 1] Graffiti scrawled walls, Bandanas over faces Gangs are all scared, representing where their place is It's beef season, streets get scarier Covering large areas like wide-spread malaria Postcode, colours, got ‘em looking over shoulders Ink on the skin represents fallen soldiers Everyday's different; some might be violent Talking to the cops, gets met with a silence Gun shots echo, Women run screaming Bullets that stray stops innocent's breathing Bleeding - Drug money got ‘em all wild Like a pack of a wolves in the youth of a child They all seem to pack, shanks in their trousers Gats; baseball bats restore power Organised brawls, secret phone calls Leave ‘em all a message, tag it on the wall [Hook] [Verse 2] There's trash everywhere, streets littered in their filth These underage mums get left with the kids It's Monday; job centre's filled to the brink Jobseekers happy when they sign to the ink Post office queues lining up to the doors Bus stops congregate, restless to board Rush hours hectic; Travel with the stress Public transport is sluggish at its best Travellers unhappy, pa**engers are ‘aggy 9 to 5 workers upset with the service Newspapers purchase, feet feel weakened Plan out the evening, looking to the weekend Night time city life social disorder Full of drunk types; vomit in the corner Many different cultures features, faces All types of races, it varies in places [Hook] [Verse 3] These open drug shotters, with no sense of shame Keep it from the coppers they stacking up the ‘papes Hustlin' the game, these benefit fraudsters Local tax dodgers, working on the corner Immigrants wait for the day that they raid Happy to be paid even though it's under wage They all know the law, their pa**ports are hidden 15 hour work days, happy to be living Kids cause mischief, others join gangs Pressured by their peers, the cave to their fear Pickpocket robbery, family dishonesty All types of crime using fear as a policy Over population, big opportunity Others move away; they can't take the lunacy Everythin' we earn gets burnt, it's berserk We live just to work, this life is a curse [Hook]
