Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey
Chase & Status
[Verse 2]
I was raised in a city, ha
I guess it was
It's on
I would not lose
[Verse 3]
Look, I was raised in a city with no heart
Where there's no car
Steppin' when it comes to be gettin' that dough fast
I'm a hustler a, I'm a, I'm a hustler a
Raised on the battle field
Born as a sufferer
Before I had a deal, I was still stackin' pills
Get punked sellin' food to the customers
Now I get love crews in the back of the S class
Them can't move like that you know
[Verse 4]
I come from where men were done for hardly nothin'
You can see it in the blues that I'm hardly frontin'
Got kids with guns in the heart of London
Bullet-proof vests like half a hundred
There's no actors and actresses barely 'round here
**** matches them straps of mattresses
Soon as you exit Stanstead you might see
[Verse 5]
Who is gettin' in trouble?
Who has been?
How can you win?
How can you win?
How can you win?
How can you win?
[Verse 6]
Look, I was raised in a city
When they was out blazin' the Philly
I was on a five bus chasing the titties
At the back of the class undoin' bras with a stiffy
Tenisha, Testa, Lesly and Richie
It's a cold, cold world
Gangstas living in a po po world
So I'm in Koko with a go-go girl
Escaping reality that I know so well
But when you a kid you don't know no better
Boys find trouble tryna find that cheddar
Money breeds envy, might get set-up
When pockets get empty **** get jealous
Killa done told them
Landed in boo, I stretching that ketchup from
South of the border
North, west to east, there's not around here
Got to see it to believe it
[Verse 7]
Who is gettin' in trouble?
Who has been?
How, how can you win?
How can you win?
How, how can you win?
How can you win?
[Verse 8]
Let me tell ya something
Look, look, maybe it's cause I'm a Londoner
Now I love London town but London's foul
London's a merry-go-round
A cycle of life full of ups and downs
'Cause up 'til now we could never won
With the odds against us a million to one
See the winter's messy but they get silly in the sun
Don't fight says Jordan nine milli it is none
[Verse 9]
How can you win?
How can I win?
How can I win?
How can I win?
[Verse 10]
Yo, Chase & Status
