The Manor - It's A London Thing lyrics

Yeah
I ain't felt guilt since '99
I'm up front like Wrighty and Brighty
South London, heart in Highbury
I'm a lad but I ain't too likely
I been in a caff on Lordship Lane
Skiving work on a dogshit day
Polish girl here knows my name
Gives me a smile and keeps my change
But, I don't get mugged off
I see things straight when wires get crossed
If I'm your ref don't dive in the box
Cause you'll see red, no card, no bus
Plus, trust
There ain't no love in the heart of the town
I might change that by buying this round
Or making love to a bird on a mound
You what?
Yeah that ain't my style
Went for a stroll
Walked 8 miles


Lost myself felt like Ray Charles
Ended up down Clapham South
In London, it's an urban nightmare
Cultural melting pot
Same bridge there are kids getting robbed
Sightseers take selfie shots
We love it, who don't?
Same old styles make our new clothes
Same old problems face new blokes
They get richer, we stay broke (That's right)
From the church to the mosque
Don't judge, that ain't your job
Think twice, speak once
Do what I say, not what I've done

Now I don't care what you say

It's a London thing

And I don't care what you think

It's a London thing

Now I don't care what you've done

It's a London thing
It's
A
London thing (thing)

Oi!
Old Kent Road got our Bristols out
Won't be sweet when a geezer sees
He's got bees going round his knees
Words are free love, please say please & queue
For the booze again
One geezer's tryna serve like sixteen goats
Get my one Ben, next one's mine, this song's mental
Don't you find that biting your tongue
Just don't feel right
Best go right
Life in the limelight light me up
I'm Jack Wilshere on an injured night
Ninja time I'm a Blackpool stiff
Why take deeks
Young Ray Keith
Got my stripes down Fulton side
Still frontwheel skid up the Hampstead Heath

Now I don't care what you say

It's a London thing

And I don't care what you think

It's a London thing

Now I don't care what you've done

It's a London thing
It's
A
London thing (thing)

Oh London town, you're so wonderful
Full aff the tits and fanny, Danny
Check out the arse and all on that chick
I bet she loves it in the Gary (larry)
Give her the barry
Two-two larry
Don't like us, we don't care like Millwall
Dons like AFC Wimble
Drunks and addicts
Polish a hundred rackets (rackets)
Little faggots, you'll never be covered in [?]
But nothing but love in the Palace [?]
You should be fucking embarrassed
Ain't nothing you can do Mr
Got birds going down like QPR
Down the Holmesdale road in a movie car
I need that Jew money like Tottenham
Velvet Giuseppe don't ask where I got them

Now I don't care what you say

It's a London thing

And I don't care what you think

It's a London thing

Now I don't care what you've done

It's a London thing
It's
A
London thing (thing)

Oi Oi
I'll take the mic off Jonny here for a sec
DJ Graft, live inside
The Manor FM boys
That one there is It's a London thing
You know us, South London boys through and through

Go South London!

You know the song and that, go on Jonny son
Alright that one there was from Yanaku, It's a London thing
You know we keep it local and that

Know we're local

Know we are boy

Know we're local

Fuck who knows it
Right now, right now we're gonna flip it on ya
Ya need to get your little French dictionaries out
This one's called Know What I Mean, and ya probably won't
But yeah let's get it, let's spin this one, let's spin the next one
Oi
Oi Stacks spin it bruv, spin it, what you doing?
Oi Stacks, Stacks!
