I just made the move to London town,
I wander round getting lost on the underground,
Getting used to being so anonymous
Below the light pollution, always pissing off astronomers,
Wanna see the stars, street cars on West End,
Cost you half a tenner for a stella with your best friend,
Snap backs, and flat caps, look at me I'm retro,
Wanna make a name to see your photo up in Metro,
Mute commuters in suits, heading to spreadsheets,
Fucking hipsters, yeah we get it your edgy…
Where I live, the cheapest place in Monopoly,
Still can't afford the rent I'm paying on the property,
Preposterous, the way that money burns like phosphorus
Orphans of deceased dreams, streets here foster us
Who can help, doubt that Westminster can?
Their too busy loading all their selfies up on Instagram,
Book a restaurant, soon as you are in the place,
Realise the whole room, is only full of tinder dates,
Welcome to modern life, we're caught in a lie,
A society with cocaine in water supplies,
Worker bees get divided by the honey they take,
Same applies, we get divided by the money we make,
What's that about, I know that something is wrong?
When all you're asking me is salary, how much are you on?
Barely anything, thats why my shoes are rotting still,
They told it differently with Hugh Grant in Notting Hill,
Spoken word educator,
Throw the world confetti paper,
Congratulate my graduation from the petty capers,
Typifying everything I used to be like
I came here to only tell the truth on the mic,
That's the principle that's my guiding my pen,
Writing again, to my people either side of the Thames,
I love the melting pot, city days are sweltering hot,
New chapter for the champions who dealt with a lot,
Charles Dicken's digging here, when he felt for a plot,
I do the same, in every spell that I jot
In London town, money's slung like a catapult,
That's the way it is, that's why it's called the capital.
