DJ Kraze One: A percentage of council tenants drinking super tenants empty fag packets and beer cans serve as evidence time and change is constant but so is a lack of confidence as we chase the pounds and pence to change the course of events my neighbors broken fence lays flat as stray cats rome the alleys at the back people fighting over crack jippos looking for the scrap straying off the beaten track you don't really want to do that cos some peoples actions cause conflicting situations when you don't have no respect for self or surroundings see the burnt out buildings on the estates like battle scars dog shit on the grass abandoned cars and smashed glass Chorus: Welcome to the city little mans with big plans Welcome to the city take destiny in your hands Welcome to the city big themes and big dreams Welcome to the city all's not what it seems Welcome to the city a lack of educated minds Welcome to the city some see but still are blind Welcome to the city in passing people say (Life's a bitch sometimes anyway) Killa Joul: Imagine looking a life through broken glass watching social unrest on the streets and underpass red letters piling up on your doormat with plastic gangsters running round the block strapped (don't look back) someone may sneak up behind you tax your mobile and your wallet and yeh maybe your life to the animals have taken over the zoo and the old bill in a the area don't know what to do (cos they aint got a clue) True Element coming through from the back streets in the shadows on an estate near you single mothers drug runners people hurry for cover cos its sister vs sister and brother vs brother Chorus Paranoia MC: Milton Keynes is our city its the grid circle city some areas are nice and some areas are pity there's people dealing drugs mad people being thugs pulling out there guns sending people up above it aint about your money and it aint about your crack it aint about the moves you make your asking me f*** that I'll tell you the score bottom line harmony no one gets along in our MK City Chorus
