Make you want to sunshine, my love divine
Spice is stucking away your ice cream in
Your skates and give her the lips of wine
Got to deal with practicality in this vicinity
Man got to find his identity and deal with pure love and dignity
In the east end, now and then chicksy man living in the lion den
I want to say, I want you, I defend
But I man money and I man best friend
In the war part, I say that war in the war part
Could hit them in the Ital part
But them a radical, them find pure fart
I said a war in the war part
I'm talking down at Battersea
I'm talking down, down at Wandsworth
I'm talking over at Putney
Talking 'bout Kingston and James who a play them funny games
Crystal Palace, who a lick up my chalice
And a dodge 'way your malice
See the people inna London, some of them come from Clarendon
I said a people inna England, some of them come from Barbados
Come from the Caribbean, some a come from a Jamdown
Some of them come from Trinidad, some of them come from Tobago
Some of them come from Saint Lucia, a one, him come from Guyana
A one, him come from Antigua, the
Other one, him come from Grand Cayman
A weh this bloodclaat a kill you
A weh you a defend, I say you in the lion den
It's time for you to teach Jah as your friend
Calling on the youth, stop on them a be no stick man
A stick at Tesco, a stick at Marks and Spencer
And some of them a stick pon the subway
And some a sleep under, them stick inna Woolworth
'Cause a them a turn pure flirt
What happen inna London, I say what a happen inna London
But a hustling, bustling, the gyal pickney, them a look scuffling
But a hustling and bustling
But a still the ball, the ball a have more goal
And when the time is, stick around like old King Cole
Youth man stand up front and come off the goal
Man a have everything under control
Inna London, I say what happen inna London
