Man Like I

Intro: (x2)

She said she love me but she don't know why
She don't know, She don't know why.

Verse 1:

I go my own way but still I let you take me home
I love you till the morning but then I'l be done
These streets are my home darling
That's why I'm with them and not with you
I'll walk these streets till my feet turn black and blue
So you can call me a trooper or call me a lost soul
'Cause everywhere I roam, is my home
She called me many name but still I stay the same
And she said you'll never see me again, but okay
So I... Smile and wave goodbye
While she.... Smiles trying not to cry
And still she don't know why.

Chorus:

She said she love me but she don't know why
She don't know, She don't know why. (x4)

Verse 2:

She said the only way I communicate is through my song
Well she likes to talk and I hate to listen but she just carries on
Bah dah dit dah dit dah day, scum dumb diddly dee dah day
Yes I communicate through song
She says unemotinally I "?" myself
And that my pride is too strong
So I and I stand alone, Yes I continue to womanise
I give them a bit of my soul, for a piece of their pie
And still she, she calls me from time to time
Asking herself "Why oh Why"

Chorus:

She said she love me but she don't know why
She don't know, She don't know why. (x3)

She said she love me but she don't know why (fading)

Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.

Back track two days see,
She went crazy,
Oh my days,
She calling me lazy,
Still no ring, no place to stay and no baby,
Maybe baby we can talk about these things another day
I try to say
She wouldn't listen to me,
Instead she turned me away.

Fast forward to today,
Going out with my mates,
Penetrate the school faces at the gates,
At the place where I play
We're to much just to rave,
Gotta forget the other day
Gimme little drink and I'm a mash up the place.

[Chorus]
Single life,
Saturday Night,
Getting high.

Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.

Scap rap sing along,
No back chatting
A long thing
Robin Hood bathing
I come to save the dance,
I come to save the dance with my drunken dancing

Wheel up come again, come a roots a shocking,
Wheel up come again, ain't no stopping me shocking
Now I'm talking lazy,
Vision hazy,
Whoopse daisy,
Watch your feet darling,
What's ya name
What ya drinking?
Barman, alazazy

[Chorus]

Last night my future baby mama left me,
So bring me a bottle of rum and buy me a bag of sensi,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene,
Me a mash up the dance, mash up the dance scene.

I been thinkin' about what you said
I been thinking about your plans
I'ma take you down by the lakeside
Talk to you man to man

All those things you've said and done
Now you wanna take the stand

They talk a lot about you
Back in London town
They talk and talk till their faces go blue
They say you're goin' down

But I don't see that fire in your eyes
When I say you're going down
Standing before me is a shadow of a man
Who dreamed of a revolution

I dreamed of a revolution

Step out from work, two missed calls, private number but I know its her
So I call her right back ask 'what time are you coming over?'
Turns up at mine, half nine, never on time
Looking oh so so fine

We stay up late and talk about our dreams
Oh how they differ but we'll make them meet
See she's got ambitions, and I've got visions
She's doing hers, I'm doing mine
Keep telling her that we'll be fine

She's here to see her in the city lover
We fight the cold together under cover
I hope tonight will be no different from the others
As we set the scene, set the scene

She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I broke into my come here smile
She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I reached over and turned out the light

She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I broke into my come here smile
She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I realize, I realize

The suns gone down and the demons on the street come out to play
City lights light up, drinkers drink up, ravers rave
Meanwhile we're inside, me and my girl
I tell her it's your world, she says mine and we're doing all right tonight
While I play my guitar she reads her magazines
She giggles in the background looking at the singers and the beauty queens
I turn around, to look at mine, I feel inspired
I write a couple lines and over to her I slide

She's here to see her in the city lover
We fight the cold together under cover
I hope tonight will be no different from the others
As we set the scene, set the scene

She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I broke into my come here smile
She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I reached over and turned out the light

She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I broke into my come here smile
She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I reached over and turned out the light

She looked at me with those bedroom eyes
I broke into my come here smile
She looked at me with those bedroom eyes

Mama said you were a serial killer
But I did not believe her
Until I saw your face in the paper
Look just like my next door neighbour


When they say about brotherly love
Come on and give a hoodie a hug
No don? be shy
Don?t be shy
They don?t bite
They don?t bite

Dreadlocks moving in around the corner
Put the kettle on and invite him over
And anything you wanna borrow
Please don?t bother
Be good to him today
And he?ll be good to you tomorrow

Singin
Saying oh oh oh see how we live our lives
Oh oh oh oh oh living on different sides

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

Maybe mama was afraid of the unknown
So we only ever tasted the homegrown
No sticks no seeds
No Blacks no Irish please

See these, illegal African taxis
Got to dial up my call centres overseas
Take what you can from the English man
Then you build yourself a palace back in Pakistan

Saying oh oh oh thank you your majesty
Saying woah oh oh come out and visit me

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

Gonna tell my mum I wanna quit my job
I wanna move to the countryside
Don't know what my mama gonna say
But I?ma tell her it will be alright
'cause this town a lick you down down
A lick you down down
Man a man I need to survive
Next time you gonna see me
I?ll be chilling on a hill side
Right

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I

This Cold Town is too hot for man like I n I
Its No place for I n I
No place for I n I
