[Hook 1: Damon Albarn]
So the story is told in London Town
From the east and the west we come
And we'll all feel better tomorrow
When the lord comes down

[Verse 1: Kano]
It could a Cartier or a Rolex
Presidential threat to magary
Hang tight yes I can tell by the heartbeat
And you can probably take a pretty chick from a party
But guess what? Time don't wait for no man
Upside down from no sand, it won't slow down
It's going, it's going 'till it's gone
It feels right 'till you notice that it's gone
So why can't we all get along?
It's peace whenever I turn the mic on
It's beef whenever I turn to violence
It's deep in the east, I'm deep in the beats
Cause I wanna sleep on the beach and see my nephew see 23
Am I easily pleased? Um, I just wanna clean up my community
And throw a party for the whole street hardly asking for a whole leap
It's deeper than music, it's a movement, now sing along to it

[Damon Albarn]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
[Kano]
But sometimes you have to fight hustle grind struggle
When you get no peace and too much trouble
No Range Rover with rims on
Put your headphones on and sing along

[Damon Albarn]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Kano]
If you just get by the pence and ain't got no money for the rent
When your self motivation's gone, pop your headphones on and sing along

[Hook 2: Damon Albarn]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
So the story is told in London Town
From the east and the west we come
And we'll all feel better tomorrow
When the lord comes down

[Verse 2: Kano]
Look time's of the essence, rhyming's a weapon
Metal detectors and lines at the entrance
See I made the news when my gig got pulled
Same show next year, no violence at all
But no more rap breaks and academies
But I'd like to see them shut down McD's
Cause they shootin', nah, made you look
Give a stage and a page from a check book
Did use a few G's to the police
Just to put a show on for the fans to see, so
If you listening I'll spit the lyric
In N.W.A style and start killin' 'em
Nah I just wanna make them see
Spit my verses, say my piece
Get off my back, it'll make my sleep
A hell of a lot easier this week
Cause time at the present, life is a lesson
I'm still learning, trying for perfection
I'm still giving you fire on the record
The vinyl's like Ryan Hughes fireballs
Yes I've got the road, the world's my oyster, I want the globe
It's D-D-Damon you already know
And K-KA N to the O if mumsies hardly at home
You and your bro share the same clothes
Work ain't done cause you're babysitting
Feel free, sing along to the riddim
[Damon Albarn]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

[Kano]
If you grew up without no dad
And everything you want, you can't have
Lost loved ones and you really miss 'em
Feel free, sing along to the riddim

[Damon Albarn]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
So the story is told in London Town
From the east and the west we come
And we'll all feel better tomorrow
When the lord comes down
