We ain´t got no time, in the city of gold
Trying to get me some sunshine
And avoid the patrol
Ah yeah

I´m fed up
All I want is a little nice weather when I get up
A lot of people arrive zealous
But life is less a dream, more a nightmare
Welcome to the city of gold, the city I roam
Home to the grittiest rodents
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

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 yeah

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

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)
Trying 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 yeah

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 aren´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

We aren´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)
Trying 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 yeah
