It's a London Thing

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

Skivin' 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 buyin' this round

Or makin' love to a bird on a mound

You what?

Yeah, that ain't my style

Went for a stroll

Walked eight miles

Lost myself, felt like Ray Charles

Ended up down Clapham South

In London, it's an urban nightmare

Cultural meltin' 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

Oi

Old Kent Road, got our Bristols out

Won't be sweet when a geezer sees

He's got bees goin' round his knees

Words are free love, please say please and queue

For the booze again

One geezer's tryna serve like sixteen boats

Get my one Ben, next one's mine, this song's mental

Don't you find that bitin' 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 smith

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

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

Give her the berry

Two-two Larry

Don't like us, we don't care like Millwall

Dons like AFC Wimble

Drunks and addicts

Polish a hundred rackets

Little faggots, you'll never be covered in claret

For nothin' but lovin' the Palace

You should be fuckin' embarrassed

Ain't nothin' you can do mister

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

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, stacks spin it, bruv, spin it

What you doin'?

Oi, Stacks, Stacks
