Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
I'm from a city where
drugs seem acceptable
Even though the back class
can turn a man to vegetable
I'm from a city where perception
really matters
G 
D 
And if you step out the box
your confidence gets shattered
I'm from a city where everyone's
got a point to prove
Fighting over everything and anything,
that's what we do
I'm from a city where jealousy's rife
Hate's just something
that my city just likes
I'm from a city where
everyone's scared
Scared to readjust, scared to be heard
I'm from a city where we all wanna blend in
We all wanna be different
but we all wear the same things
I'm from a city where
minds are so small
Happy in their bubble,
they don't wanna leave at all
I'm from a city where we all fear change
City full of hope
but my city stays the same
I'm from a city that's
not like other cities
Such a special place, just believe in our city
Do I hate my city?
Nah, I love my city
If you do too,
just spread the message with me
I'm from a city where the
weekends the motivation
People work,
put the cats down, the occupation
I'm from a city where no
one likes risks
People sit on the fence if you fail
they take the piss
I'm from a city where backsides
are used the most
Idle minds upset
when foreigners are seen to call
I'm from a city where there's
so many excuses
Nothing's their fault,
they just say the system's useless
I'm from a city where no one
lets their guard down
No one acts sensitive
cos everyone's hard now
I'm from a city where
loyalty's a myth
Turn you back for one second,
your friends sexing your chick
I'm from a city where we settle for the norm
A car, a mortgage with a
front and back loan
I'm from a city where ambition
seems lost
If you dare to believe
you can achieve what you want
I'm from a city that's
not like other cities
Such a special place, just believe in our city
Do I hate my city?
Nah I love my city
If you do too,
just spread the message with me
Spread the message with me
Spread the message with me
If you do too,
just spread the message with me
Spread the message with me
Spread the message with me,
if you do too,
just spread the message with me
I'm from a city of the
Wilberforce legacy
There'd be no me
if you never abolished slavery
I'm from a city of the King Billy statue
So much history,
for that I'm saying thank you
I'm from a city where we've
got two rugby clubs
Passion runs deep
from the stadiums to the pubs
I'm from a city where we're
known as the Tigers
Premier League status,
lower leagues behind us
I'm from a city of the
Olympic gold medalists
Loot did us proud,
he paved the way for a lot of kids
I'm from a city with the
biggest fair in Europe
Saving for weeks
so we could go without the grown -ups
I'm from a city where the
Humber Bridge is living
Standing strong,
it's identity is never hidden
I'm from a city that needs
the right exposure
So much to give,
we need to try and get closer
Yes we do
Such a special place
Whole city
People need to come out the box
So much to offer
But we city culture does something
So we can also see it
