Versus
London Made, East-Coast Trained
[Intro]
London made
London made
London made, East-Coast trained
Yeah
I like that
[Hook]
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
Made my first Hajj at 18
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
[Verse 1]
Always been a teenage dirtbag baby
Must have been a deep
Kind of hurt that made me
Turn this crazy
Flirt insanely
With the drugged out
Drinking life daily
Pay me attention
And take my ascension
As sly mention
My brain been in bedlam
Affected by tensions
Arresting depression
Turned into verses for fan interest and
Label investment
How do we sell me?
Weirdo Negro nerd
In this white pop world
Please help me
What did they tell me?
Back when attendance was Saved By The Bell be
Different
Embrace it
One day it'll pay off
Now I need the pay off
No point shaving
If you need a bet
I got the wager
Underdoggystyle gone win a major
And it goes like
[Hook]
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
Made my first Hajj at 18
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
New York, New York
Are you ready for the Monk?
Rapping Sam Cooke
With the James Brown funk
London
With the Hipeoisie
Hair Samson
With the heart Ali
New York
Are you ready for the Monk?
Rapping Sam Cooke

London

[Verse 2]
Jeez
Look how it go lyrically
Bob Dylan then Jigga then me
Been dealing with antipathy
So I'm digging in the rockabilly
Smells like a teen idol
Mean in my recital
Keeping to the cycle
Elvis, Kurt and Monk speech is vital
'Till the pressure too much
And suicidal
Thoughts get in me
Deep as Nietzsche
I need to reach the
Lil' kid who's weirder
Than Life Of Pablo
With a 3 verse feature
From Beck, T Swift, Cool Pants Khalifa
I'll take one hit
When they lease the reefer
But it ain't a career
Without at least the heat of
3 LPs with the fire and ether
Sold-out arena
Soul like Aretha
[Ad-Libs]
And that's why
It's time
For my next Hajj
[Hook]
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
Made my first Hajj at 18
London made, East-Coast trained
Love for my city
But how I was raised
Worship the Mecca
Pray to the East
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
