Rolling through london, I been cruising a while I see a man in a fued with his girl About losing his child, she was crying Him river I guess she in denile And the car ain't tinted, and this Ain't none of our business
So we ain't trying to stare too long, me And the driver looked like neither of us listening And not one of us listening, we probably Both had a row with our sisterin While the whole street witnessed Just gotta turn a blind eye and no winking We still rolling, we shoulda took the other way I'm still moaning
I shoulda kept that myself, still told him So now he's going all the way, real sulkish Clubs are closed, I'm gettin mad Like would you take a look at these lads Trying to stop a cab like they can't see man Alcohol is got em feeling like they can't be stabbed And one of them's vomiting kebab and The other is hoppin on his back And his girl tryin to pick him up, that's The one time that she gotta be the man
Taking the long way home again Watching the world drive in the rain There's motion but there's no change It's the same old, same old race till it's over yeah Rolling through london, where we slipped on a junction I don't wanna see anymore drunkerds And I'm talking to myself cause I wanna Conversation with a little more substance And it's alright, it's in the brain And what a surprise it's gonna rain
And we speed past the homeless And still act like we not got enough change I guess summats gotta change, traffic light he stuntin in a range Imagine I'm sat lusting at the paint While the prostitute screamed that she never got paid Cause she thinks that she never got raped Still got the mind of a child That only happens when you never get raised Trapped in a cycle that you can never escape (woahh)
And this shit used to burn me (burn me yeah) And that's why it's part of my verse b Sitting in a back of a cab, guess This is part of my journey (part of life) Cause this shit used to burn me (oh yeah) Ant that's why it's part of my verse b (ba ba ba la la) Sitting in the back if a cab, guess This is part of my journey (oh oh oh woah)
Taking the long way home again Watching the world drive in the rain There's motion but there's no change It's the same old, same old race till it's over yeah And these things used to burn me But now they just part of my journey
And these things used to burn me But now they just part of my journey And these things used to burn me But now they just part of my journey And these things used to burn me But now they just part of my journey (oh oh oh woah)
Taking the long way home again Watching the world drive in the rain There's motion but there's no change It's the same old, same old race till it's over yeah Taking the long way home again Because there's no way home from here So much for cycle, I'll start making My own way back when it's over, over, over I'm making my own way
