This track is actually the Heart of the Album. The entire album was built around this 1 song so I hope you guys like it. I had to holler at my darg JP to get a verse on this, it really needed some variation, and JP was the perfect guy for the job.
lyrics
CHORUS
From the L, to the O, to the N, D, O, N,
Follow the system till my brain don’t function,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
We on the grind till the heart stop pumping,
If money speaks then What the Sterling Say?
Im buzzing off the fumes so throw that Ish away,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
From London Town to the Top of the UK
VERSE 1
Better Believe it, I tell it Like i see it,
We keep it underground, but the underground’s deceiving,
Black hat, silver badge, Undercover, Mini cabs,
Yer i know its sometimes better just to leave it,
Im born in a city everyday we breeding stars,
And guys hit on girls like its Venus vs Mars,
Im shooting for the Sky yet im grounded like the plants,
Life’s like a game of Poker but im counting cards, (But im counting Cards)
Im like a million piece Puzzle, Recognise the struggle,
You screaming out I love you to a woman on the screen,
To a star you never seen,
Sterling be the Team, so say it loud Say it proud let me hear you scream,
CHORUS
From the L, to the O, to the N, D, O, N,
Follow the system till my brain don’t function,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
We on the grind till the heart stop pumping,
If money speaks then What the Sterling Say?
Im buzzing off the fumes so throw that Ish away,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
From London Town to the Top of the UK
VERSE 2 (JP)
L,O,N,D,O,N is the Hometown,
Sterling is the city where we regulate the pounds,
Any track any club, yer we shut it down,
Lay a track for these rappers, We’ll be running round,
Overlapping, understanding how we love this life,
London City, Sterling City, Lizzy is the Wife,
Girls screaming out loud go and do us proud,
We about to go hard for the UK sound
CHORUS
From the L, to the O, to the N, D, O, N,
Follow the system till my brain don’t function,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
We on the grind till the heart stop pumping,
If money speaks then What the Sterling Say?
Im buzzing off the fumes so throw that Ish away,
Sterling, City, Sterling, City,
From London Town to the Top of the UK
VERSE 3
Sterling City Mandem, Sterling City Gash,
Sterling City all about the Sterling City Cash,
Sterling City Midlands, Sterling City South,
Sterling City all up in your Sterling City, Mouth,
Sterling City goals, and Sterling City, Dreams,
Sterling City playing to them Sterling City, Fiends,
Sterling City Life and Sterling City, Death,
Sterling City Smell it on your Sterling City, Breath,
