Lyrics:

Yeah i'm out of Charlton
now I'm down in Mayfair
next to Frank Harper
shine a light forever

I'm the new Malcom
by any means necessary
move a couple of mountains
whilst whistling to Neneh Cherry

use to be the cherry tree
the game got played like a piano
now its Camden roundhouse
straight from Lewisham Mcdonalds

writtens that the Kash got
will have him walking paidstreet
catch me puffin sipping liquor
headed for the mainstream

Vivid is the A-team
1 Series 4 door
hit the road
some will be at home watching More4

i can make a crowd rock
get them all to zone with me
did the Oracle Tour
I'm bringing hip hop home with me

say what's up to Dynamite, Kayper and Richard Blackwood
faked a CV got a job from Mr Altwood
kids is getting hyped out
i never move recklessly

can tell from my attitude
that i most definitely from


lond-unn!
we work until the mortgage gets paid off / or a bad back retires you,
lets hear it for lond-unn!
at the job centre cos you got laid off / your boss has just fired you
lets hear it for london! london! londo-uu-uun



went to run a comp from Hugo Boss
and move the Sugarbabes
who really give a toss next day
I'm back to being hood again

music is the deep root
as blessed as the wind blow
when channeling your energy
you plant witness a seed grow

welcome to the melting pot
but hold up can you see the plot
Africa is dying quick
home is where you sit and watch

postal strikes, gypsy sites
catch a black or mini cab
we run a hamster wheel
just to pay our bills and frigging income tax

8 Million jackanoreys
i stay on some breakers
Friday night we rave
by the strobes and the lasers

me i got the cro special
burn it like a stage if the devil
paying Dwayne then Dwayne soul is claimed

riding with Reiscato
burn trees with Grantly
Carnival again
skanking out to Bob Marley

Canary Wharf, the Gherkin
who really killed the World Trade
long live the Queen
but i'm from those run down estates thats



lond-unn!
we work until the mortgage gets paid off / or a bad back retires you,
lets hear it for lond-unn!
at the job centre cos you got laid off / your boss has just fired you
lets hear it for london! london! londo-uu-uun



i is grinding
they are telling lies
to the vision of the people
as they sit they've hypnotise

them lies, needles and anarchy
footy fights and casualties
the knife crime is getting worse
don't bite the apple Eve

the gang is now the in crowd
and straps are in style
London the winter gets cold
and they pose with the thing out

sin city grins as it puts you in the trap
good people on the wrong track
the city's filled with that

little lady gave him a cherry
cos he said he loved her
next day he told the whole school
how he fucked her

now daddy's disappointed
that she is no longer a virgin
she cries herself a lullaby think bout how she'll hurt him

now we out of school well all addicted to the high life
loans and credits cards got your outgoings sky high

and MDMA got your jaw swinging rapidly
can't fall asleep the news reports another tragedy in



lond-unn!
we work until the mortgage gets paid off / or a bad back retires you,
lets hear it for lond-unn!
at the job centre cos you got laid off / your boss has just fired you
lets hear it for london! london! londo-uu-uun

one hand in the air for the big city
street fights, police, lights aint nothing pretty
why in the world would you wanna come here
put your lighters in the air
ev-rybody say yea-eah-eah yeah-eah-eah

lond-unn!
we work until the mortgage gets paid off / or a bad back retires you,
lets hear it for lond-unn!
at the job centre cos you got laid off / your boss has just fired you
lets hear it for london! london! londo-uu-uun
