life and times of a living legend
I feel like I heard the essence
and in turn learnt the lesson
To pass it to the youths on the
ends through musical blends
Look, the culture falling
Hip -Hop's become a fashion victim
A million rappers an d all of them
afraid to show the passion within
What I'm spitting is true
I just kick back, sipping a brew
And demonstrate how I'm different to you
But the music's been beside
me all the time like a wife
I can 't just mistreat her
Cause I came out the dark
Since it came out the park
And travelled the world to touch billions
It's been a long journey,
But first things first, I deserved it
Worked it, so it was perfect now
You heard it, that's what the word is
You heard it, that's what the word is
You'll be like, my city, it's already there
And it's pen etrating the mind state
Same time make you wonder why
it rides with the crime rate
And young hearts turn cold
I know you got soul but there's
we lose the right passage for music
Sues our blues, it's like magic
Not a role model, I got my own flaws
But I have no bottle if I just don't
New slash pads and still shit
Now feel this street mentality
Rising through the 80s and 90s
and true it still is, rose where it started,
we love off dough, but you know where the
heart is, so come on home, been a long journey,
you earned it now, welcome home, but first
things first, I deserved it, worked it,
so it was perfect now, welcome home, you heard
it, that's what the word is, home, yeah, yeah,
welcome home, you heard it, that's what the
word is, home, yeah, yeah, welcome home to you,
welcome home, welcome to my city of dreams,
London, where it's gritty and mean and
kids choke off the gas from exhaust
pipes, government's all white and over 50,
and you wonder why I'm shifty, cos we ain't
represented in high courts, freedom and equality,
you follow me, that's two things I'd die
for, millennium wheels that I sort, if I wanna see the lot,
I'll go up to the top of my
boys block, what, don't get me started on the dome,
400 mil lion they spent coulda meant
new homes, but we don't complain, we're like zombies,
clone, base locked to the screens
of our mobile phones, mouse,
metaphorically bound with duct tape
but you know I need the love of the city to
sell a track I was gone for a moment,
Welcome home, welcome home, welcome home,
welcome home to you, welcome home
Been a long journey, you earned it now,
But first things first, I deserved it,
worked it, so it was perfect now
Welcome home, you heard it,
Home, welcome home, you heard it,
Home, welcome home to you girl
Welcome home, but first things first
I deserved it, worked it,
Welcome home, you heard it,
Home, welcome home, you heard it,
Home, home, do you welcome home?
