[Chours: Big Seac]
We live that harsh, gritty, London City life
Oh, what a shame, oh, what a pity life
Time waits for nuttin', gotta move quickly like
So we stay alert, busy, gotta lead a witty life
Harsh, gritty, London City life
Oh, what a shame, oh, what a pity life
Time waits for nuttin', gotta move quickly like
So we stay alert, busy, gotta lead a witty life (Okay, yeah)
[Verse 1: Big Seac]
Day in, day out, it's either you stay in or stay out
To be a part of the mess
It's like there's no peace kept
The only piece is the piece, that piece needs to increase death
Kids play in the block of flats where
Most shot crack and where most get shot at
Our sisters turnt mothers and little brothers turnt muggers
It's like hell 'cause we all suffer
In the dark, you see nuttin' but [?]
And my hoodie's up, up always, dodging the camera
[?] terror
From the blood on the floor, means a man just got hurt
Mothers, they stay home for and pray that
God rids us of this social behaviour
Still, this is home sweet home
And on these streets you go, now they will always be shown

Time waits for nuttin', gotta move quickly like
So we stay alert, busy, gotta lead a witty life
[Verse 2: Demon]
Yo, I wanna get away from the street
The Metropolitan Police always on the beat
The feds coming so you gotta put away your heat
Who telled you life on road is sweet?
We've gotta hustle everyday to make our ends meet
So we sell drugs, swipe out, repro
Might be rich one day, who knows?
Might be rich one day, who knows?
Back in the day, I had bare rich friends
Anything they asked for, their mummy got them
So don't pretend that you know about street life
Or my crew might have to take your life
Back in the day, I had bare rich friends
Anything they asked for, their mummy got them
So don't pretend that you know about street life
Or my crew might have to take your life, [?] twice

[Verse 3: Stormin]
I gotta wake up everyday about eleven in the morning
Start yawning, look in the mirror, tell myself my name is Stormin
I put on my bars until my bars starts warming
My phone starts blinging, "Is this Norman?"
What's the deal for today?
I gotta make dough, ain't got no time for no play
I've gotta lick a couple blots and I'll be here round the way
East London's where I stay; it's where I lay
The best play is for me to earn my pay and my say
It's about earning dough and staying away
From the madness that's happening day by day
Some people pray but I prefer spraying
About the old school life in the dusty flats I was staying in
There was roach ends in the parks I was playing in
And that's the life that we're living in
