London Tales

London Tales... Brazilian girl oh my dear I see you notice as they stare Your curves make you insecure But fit the clothes that you wear I'm like Vujanic have a nice You're so Hispanic with your spice As a kid you loved kites Now you're steady catching flights If you're with me take a trip Coz my visa's too legit uh Slip and slide adventures though I got a firm grip Got an appetite for lust there's not a meal that I'll skip You want a taste of life this city provides more than a few sips Starbucks on every corner and you like a skinny latte Home cooked meals and your rice a bit al dente Open mic at Troy they feel you when they hear your voice Leaving out the building self esteem is feeling poised Hoxton bar on the roof, and your cocktail is the truth Me I'll have a mocktail feeling soft as the blues Jamming out from the juke box Creeping like Uncle Snoop Though I'm stabbing every track leaving blood on the tune And we're ever most alive when it comes to summer time Spend the night in Sky garden Take a walk by the London eye Say good bye to mediocrity au revoir or bye bye On the road to the fast life Take a leap of faith and sky dive Out in the 02 arena supporting your favorite artists Performances at local gigs where they always talking the hardest Love the city coz it's multi cultured Don't chase your dreams it'll haunt ya It's in my head like an acupuncture That's my devotion, it's how I function You're on the west mixing concoction I'm in the south like an abduction My cross roads, crossed every junction Made choices, more options Let's make a toast, a celebration To the yearly renovations Stories about days in Brixton walking down on the pavement I've been down like in the basement, hard working overseas My cousins live in London though we hardly ever see The city's filled with life, colour, hope and bourgeoisie Occasional casualties we hear that ain't cool by me Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square - working class in tuxedos Me and bestie sight seeing, at Tortillas we cop burritos You should thank me for the info I'll provide you on the daily Tourists attractions are lazy and I don't care if you rate me Inspired by graffiti in Shoreditch take a walk by Brick lane Converse with strangers on different walks of life we switch lanes Power bikes, Lamborghinis Heating up the inner city Pedestrians stare like watching an act performed by Houdini We in the city of angels where the devil wears Prada You wouldn't bite your tongue Mami if you call me dada I just watch these bluffers strut I bounce like impalas Pocket full of pounds keep my high like your favourite lala This isn't Miami vice, nor a Las Vegas night This isn't SA, don't tempt me It's still F the police To you rappers we don't need your lukewarm flows for these cold nights And we wonder why we these one hit wonders come and go, I'm Starting to feel a shift of change in energy My mind's constantly evolving I've quit blending in I feel alive more than ever it's getting harder to quit My dreams are becoming more vivid I'm sleep telling it uh These are my London tales If you've been listening and paying attention I'm still on this great adventure I'm in like the eighth dimension No this is not no fairy tale It's too real Don't squeal Just enjoy the tale These are my London tales If you've been listening and paying attention I'm still on this great adventure I'm in like the eighth dimension No this is not no fairy tale It's too real Don't squeal Just enjoy the tale
