lyrics

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
