Verse 1
(A minor)
City life is hard, you got no place to go
And (D minor) no one really cares if
you're really there
People (A minor) pass you by,
try not to catch your eye
Out (D minor) there in the cold, will you (F major) live or die?
City (A minor) life is hard, you got no place to go
And (D minor) no one really cares,
if you're really there
(F major) People (A minor) pass you by,
try not to catch your eye
Out (D minor) there in the cold, will you (F major) live or die?
(A minor) Bright lights, bright lights,
big city of dreams
Everything you hear ain't
always what it seems
You best get schooled if
you come from out of town
If you live in the city,
it's time to get down
They call me
Tef, I watch my every step
I catch the metro, then go to meet the rest
In the heart of the action, dazzling neon
With fly clothes on,
my night goes on
I see strife on the streets,
everywhere I walk
Vagabonds on their own planet,
they sleep talk
I get hogged by the gods, in the uniform
For me and my boys,
that's become a norm
Situ (D minor) ation,
we're just (A minor) laughing the past
that can kiss my ass cause there's no arrest
A whole tribe of us, drinking in (D minor) the bar
Atmo (A minor) sphere's cool, nice temperature
Some (D minor) can't handle the,
(A minor) drink and they're broke out
That brings the thug out, trapped in the soul
A new dimen (D minor) sion to the (A minor) night
Started, fight started,
everyone's broken hearted
Seeing life is hard, you got no place to go
And (D minor) no one really cares,
if you're really there (A minor)
People pass you by,
try not to catch your eye
Out (D minor) there on the globe, will you live or (A minor) die?
As I reveal the dark side of my town
Don't come around if
you wanna be down
That's the way it is,
new kids on my block
Blast the cash and get's
up what they got
Police roll by with that look
in their eyes
Suspecting me as the big
brother's spies
Close circuit
TVs, watch every move
I make life sting, I got the ill street blues
I'm mad as hell, I can't take it no more
It's the jungle out there and
these big cats roar
Sur (F major) vival of the fittest,
(A minor) the strong survive
It takes more than your clothes
to become streetwise
The (D minor) streets have (A minor) eyes,
and they're all watching me
Cause I've been there, done that,
but now I broke free
From (D minor) the poverty and the negativity
That (A minor) surrounds me in the big city
Bright (D minor) lights,
attract more than the one type
Be (A minor) ware,
prepare for the creatures of the night
It's raining, it's pouring,
everybody's snoring
In the deep slumber,
waiting for the morning
Yawning, anticipate another day
Gotta motivate living in the
UK
There's many troubles,
trials, tribulations
Requiem of life,
giving people palpitations
Frustrations, (D minor) you know (A minor) we got to survive
From day to day we work
from 9 to 5
Sometimes pressure's just too much
Don't push too far cause
you might erupt
Nev (D minor) er give up on your
goals and (A minor) dreams
The grass is greener on
the other side of the street
The downtown rhythm's
here to soothe your soul
So keep focused, don't lose control
I said (D minor) the downtown rhythm's
here to soothe your soul
Stay (A minor) focused, never lose control
City life is hard
You got no place to go
And (D minor) no one really cares
If you're really there (A minor)
People pass you by
Try not to catch your eye
Out (D minor) there in the cold
Will you (F major) live or (A minor) die?
Reality in your face for the
(D minor) last days of grace
Peep (A minor) the
UK, de (D minor) cay everyday
Seven sign, final (A minor) time, the end is nigh
Matted hair, skinny canine
On a (D minor) twine, how should (A minor) I say?
Dog on a rope, he can't cope
Wanna clean up his (D minor) act
But he (A minor) can't find the soap
City life, surviving in the lower scale bracket
Do I qualify for a full mental jacket?
Has been teens, ragged jeans,
selling magazines
Drum and bass places,
packed with ragged queens
These are some of my daily (D minor)
city scenes
That's the reason (A minor) why we became
the cream fiends
Everybody's drawn to the
bright city lights
Some come for pleasure,
fully paid titty nights
Where's your daughter?
(D minor) Modern age
Sodom and
Gomorrah
Acid rain, (A minor) pain,
is there something in the water?
Pavement, enslavement,
cobblestone homes, cardboard boxes
We pass them by regardless,
we heartless des (D minor) pise
Flaming their cyphers or eyes
Another (A minor) one sleeps on
the doorstep tonight
Life is hard, you got no place to go
And (D minor) no one really cares,
if you're living it (A minor)
People pass you by,
try not to catch your eye
A (D minor) pair and a goal,
(A minor) will you live or die?
Another one sleeps on
the doorstep tonight
Thank
City Life (The Big Issue)
