Verse 1 – Suffa | |
I'm from the city of light, with a sky of vanilla, | |
Known as the city of churches home of the serial killer, | |
And in the summer it feels like a hundred degrees, | |
Where I'm from you might see Suffa MC, | |
Walking the traps trying to escape the map, | |
Ninety one was my shit I'm trying to take it back, | |
To when writers ran the line and transits ran the gambit, | |
My memories the paint, let the track be my canvas, | |
Thirteen sitting in a park, sipping wine casks, | |
Watching whole cars as they went flying past, | |
I couldn't paint so I rhymed to the writers, | |
They'd laugh, light up a smoke, and get blinded by their lighters, | |
‘Nasty Arts' ran my line evading cop cars, | |
And we looked up to them like they were rock stars, | |
Paint stained hands and fame like Manson, | |
That's Charles not Marilyn, a city held to ransom, | |
Cans and markers, Country Road parkers, | |
Hands of an artist left the landscape enchanted, | |
Until the government pigs had all the paint washed, | |
From our city walls, end of the renaissance, | |
And so the walls where the colours once played, | |
Were replaced by the buff, now a sullen blunt grey, | |
White washed, shitty, all grey, all black, | |
Waiting for the kids of this city to take their walls back. | |
Verse 2 - Pressure | |
I'm from the city of light, with a sky of vanilla, | |
Known as the city of churches home of the serial killer, | |
And in the winter, the city sleeps dead in the freeze, | |
Where I'm from you might see Pressure MC, | |
Walking the traps trying to escape the map, | |
Ninety three was my shit I'm trying to take it back, | |
Got kicked out of school but I would have left in time, | |
With nothing but an ego and rap to get me by, | |
I swept floors, packed orders, when poor racked from Porters, | |
Liquor store just to score me a four track recorder, | |
Fifteen, sneaking in the back door to the gig, | |
Thought I could rip, bro trust me I fought for this shit, | |
Cos the city's darker than a starless night, | |
And treats a starter like a fresh piece of meat, greet the carving knife, | |
Till the day came when I'd scar consortiums, | |
I'd lay waiting, train stations and parks my audience, | |
Before we had our beats made, before we had a DJ, | |
We'd rock to a beat box, before that shit was clichéd, | |
You see mate, I refused to lay low and gave those, | |
Better years of my life to pave roads, | |
Live as hell, we did it by ourselves, | |
The only secret to this shit is one that time will tell, | |
So breathe in cos the city invites, jealously, pity and blight, | |
You're in the city of light. |
