Le Ville

[Intro]
They say home is where heaven is
Home is where my heart is

[Verse 1]
Yo, where you from? (Where you from?)
I’m from the city of the foxes
The air tastes toxic
You can pick up food like some chopsticks
Stay sharp like eyes cops watch with
Optics, don’t be the opp (Yo, come here bruv)
On a block that’s not his
Couple man got rich
Whips and wristwatches
Couldn’t get a job with grades to tick boxes
Now they give the youngers a wage and shift boxes
Still don’t tick boxes
Vicky Park, ball at the cage, the summertime's lot
He rolled through with the guys, they turned the lights off
R/Bar when you get paid and get the night off
Answer’s “well, gosh” when you’re asking me where the Nike’s from (Yo, where they from?)
Many different dialogues
Allah, Christ, Brahmin
When they’re asking, “why God? Yo, why God?”
Undie with the K-9, you thought it was a guide dog
Life’s odd
Great Central Way for the light jog
Narbs with the Polskis
Melton Road, Golden Mile, that’s the chana and rotis
A city where we don’t sleep
Road’s busy whole week
Stand on your own feet
Right place, wrong time, wholewheat (Brown bread)
Skeggy for the daytrip
Braggy for the day out
Heavenly for eat-in
Fudge Puppy, takeout
I know where my heart is
It ain’t north, it ain’t south
When you’re talking Leicester
You could never leave my name out (Name out)

[Hook]
‘Cause when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You don’t really know the green, you know the grey (You know the grey)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You just hope the sun shines another day (Another day)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You don’t really know the green, you know the grey (You know the grey)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You just hope the sun shines another day (Another day)

[Verse 2]
To see the real beauty, gotta look past the blemishes
Look at the cats and the rats and the menaces
Good folks falling through the cracks and the crevices
Whether in the semis or the flats or the terraces
Everybody got a plan to know what living better is
Everybody got a chance with hope on the premises
“No” is your nemesis
The whole of my heritage
My soul, never derelict
My home is where heaven is (Where heaven is)
Something out of nothing, make a mountain from the mole hill
Foxes got to eat, make a meal up out the roadkill
Homies, they be looking, moving crooked like the Old Bill
When they see the money, eyes bulge like they’re Özil (Ching)
Word of advice, don’t try step in shoes you won’t fill
All of this is deeper than the mines be up in Coalville
Did it off my own back, my own heart, my own will
Nothing worse than watching everything you helped to grow wilt
I was stuck on Zoom, in
Man, I had to zoom out
Had to keep it moving
Meant I had to move out
I know where my heart is
It ain’t north, it ain’t south
I know where my roots are
Still had to find a route out

[Hook]
‘Cause when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You don’t really know the green, you know the grey (You know the grey)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You just hope the sun shines another day (Another day)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You don’t really know the green, you know the grey (You know the grey)
And when you come from the city
All the nature looks pretty
You just hope the sun shines another day (Another day)
