This City (feat. Devlin)

Jorja Smith

I reveal it in my words, I lost the passion
Simply, it was best when I had nothing
Hard to know the cost when you have everything, no
I needed something, you gave me something on the days I was no loving
I try not to take offence, but I read everything
This pace run, it's 'cause I'm tired of running, believe (oh-oh)

Wanna stay, need to go, something's missing
Yeah, I hear what I said, but just listen, babe
No, you don't understand, it's this city, oh (oh-oh)
Hold me in with his arm, dumb disguise
Sold a dream of a home, it's a lie
No, you don't understand, it's this city (oh, no)

I'm on the A13 on the way to the city (city)
When the lights are bright with some boys that like to fight, I'm leaning
Out the window smoking a spliff
For the wind in my eyes, the tears that I cry
Getting high in the essence of life
'Cause tonight we're in London City
And I got about four hundred with me
I'm on the A13 on the way to the city (city)
When the lights are bright with some boys that like to fight, I'm leaning
Out the window smoking a spliff
For the wind in my eyes, the tears that I cry
Getting high in the essence of life
'Cause tonight we're in London City
And I got about four hundred with me (oh, no)

Getting high in the essence of life
'Cause tonight we're in London City
I'm, I'm on the A13 on the way to the city
In London City

Wanna stay, need to go, something's missing
Yeah, I hear what I said, but just listen, babe
No, you don't understand, it's this city, oh (oh-oh)
Hold me in with his arm, dumb disguise
Sold a dream of a home, it's a lie
No, you don't understand, it's this city (oh, no)
