Gritty City Lyrics by Mayday (UK)

Shilliam Shakespeare

2021

Breeza:
I'm burning a spliff
You're burning sage
You don't wanna see Breeza rage
Take your face off no Nicholas Cage
Heroes and villianous brehs
Hash inside when I'm piffing this haze
Back in the day I would have been nicking his wage
Nicking his chain nicking his change
Don't act like you're the best
Breeze be the don like Taribro West
If you don't move right it's gonna go left
I've got heart 100% no less
Now let me show levs
Put my foot down like revs
I'm outside like rows and sheds
You tick and owe them debts
Stretch DCM:
Connеcted in the city
From Brum to Wolves know wе get gritty
It's gets banging don like Breeza said
And JMan told you that Grime ain't dead
Different they can't work hard like us
That's why we could never sound like them
Music affi mek from OGs to the new gen
And they can't say Grime without Mayday & Stretch
Mayday:
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
Where we come from some call it the trenches but to us its just normal life
Where we come from it’s not expected greatness comes from the strongest fight
Where we come from the odds are against us we do yes or no not might
Where we come from is a place you wouldn’t last in there for one day one night
Home of the brave
City of a 1000 trades
Place where you can make a million pounds and lose it the very next day
24 hours are different here nothing is rarely the same
Just have to take it day by day and play the game how the games played
Stretch DCM:
Connected in the city
From Brum to Wolves know we get gritty
It's gets banging don like Breeza said
And JMan told you that Grime ain't dead
Different they can't work hard like us
That's why we could never sound like them
Music affi mek from OGs to the new gen
And they can't say Grime without Mayday & Stretch
Mayday:
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
Jman:
Actually better then most
These little spitters are fibbing they've never been cold
I'm ahead of them bro
Top tier in the Grime scene brudda and I set it in stone
Hella sick flows when my pen is involved
These little fibbers are kidding they've never been road
When I drop bars these bruddas get scared cus they know my bars leave bruddas exposed
I put bruddas on blast
Get blown up if what you're chatting is gas
Spit flames on track
Next man are using next mans flows
That's shame on man
Pagans wanna turn snake on man
So I'm cautious on the estate and that
To many people are fake and they can't be trusted so I'm not shaking hands
Stretch DCM:
Connected in the city
From Brum to Wolves know we get gritty
It's gets banging don like Breeza said
And JMan told you that Grime ain't dead
Different they can't work hard like us
That's why we could never sound like them
Music affi mek from OGs to the new gen
And they can't say Grime without Mayday & Stretch
Mayday:
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
Never could leave and switch sides
And you can see it in these eyes
Come to the city and see pride
Heart on sleeve and on inside
