HOMETOWN GLORY

3 am on the night bus
Rollin threw the city that i love
Illuminated by bright lights
Where there ain't ever a quiet night
LDN the big smoke
A mix of broke and rich folk
Broken dreams and big hopes
On these streets you can see both
Let it all stand still, gets so loud but feels so tranquil to me
I found peace in the noise
See I'm surrounded but i noticed
The light glimmers my eyes lose focus
But no matter where i go i know where my home is
Im almost home now
To my people of my hometown.

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders and now

Although its tough in the bits and it gets rough in the bits
Ive got love for the bits its pretty but i love where i live
The city
Where kids who look down upon
But its hard to flower in the shadow of a tower block
From where we know what its like not to have and to want
Til one day a flower pops up between the weeds
One of us succeeds achieves what was once a dream
And it means so much more
I love it just to see it
Success and middle finger to all of our non believers

Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united

Round my hometown, memories are fresh
Round my hometown, ooh, the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world, are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world, are the wonders and now
