From London With Love
[Intro: DJ Debris]
Yo, this is DJ Debris from the Hilltop Hoods
You’re listening to “If The City Had A Voice Part V”
By my man, Purpose
Enjoy
[Verse]
(I saw a) I saw a kid that said “yo man
I been followin’ ya shit since 07” (07, Damn, that’s crazy)
On the other side of the world and the crazy shit about it is (About it is)
It didn’t even sound that weird when he said it (Said it)
Na, not like, it was silent nods from all the people I pass
Givin’ wild props, jet lagged but I got somethin’ to fight it off
Overdue bill back at home on the dresser
But they fly your boy out cos they’re how I represent us
Riding the tube all over the city
First court to Earl’s court from Heathrow, Piccadilly (Dilly, dilly)
Walkin’ through water, Lou Station
Got fam out here, so I call my dude Caleb (Wait up)
And we gon turn all the way up
When you show up ready, I swear it’s all a lay up
Teachers use to say “don’t smoke that, it’ll warp ya brain up”
But I don’t seem to miss a beat when they call my name up
Smoke crawling off my lips in the morning mist
Call me crazy, but I could never get bored of this
Kickin’ it with old friends in new places talkin’ shit
Saw the bridge, like damn, rap did all of this
The couch leaves for leads for three, enough time to order ribs
Get some good food in me but before I split
I’ll be back in two days while I take care of all of this
I shut it down, don’t fuck around, you saw the clips
And when I walk off it's
Love from the fans, apologies from the doubters
A hand full of girls tryna follow me to the showers
Holdin’ textas and copies of my last album
Regular shit. That’s regular shit
And we just rollin’ and smokin’ [?], rollin’ and smokin’ [?]
There’s horns playin’ in the bathroom “toot, toot, toot, toot, toot” (Ahh)
The time difference almost threw me for a loop
But I came with a gift like, na what? “toot, toot, toot, toot, toot”
Hard to keep a hold of, I’m always movin’
Another night, another flight
I know you wonder what I’m doin’
You’re not competing with the road, if it was, you’d think you’re losin’
Really, it’s just another country I stopped and thought of you in (You in)
From London with love
Up, up and above
Via Dubai, high in the sky
Kicks covered in dust
Getting flagged, I be goin’ through customs so much
All these stamps on my passport
They think I’m smuggling drugs
And we documented travels through my rhymes
For the kids who never leave their cities
So they can see the world through my eyes
Show ‘em the highlights of fog coverin’ skyline
My long summer bright like block buster Sci-Fi (Tu, tu, tu)
Jumped on the tour and caught a bus to visit
YouTube studios for a drop to the shortcut (Cut)
The perfect way to follow this all up
Considerin’ back home I’ve been so constantly caught up
Where I bottle it all up, both locks on my door shut
This trip was a deep breath to get some oxygen stored up
Plus I hear my city is startin’ to get hot man, I’m warmed up
Gonna set off this summer right, get some bottles and pour up
Cruisin’ on the [?] before I crawl on the plane
Won’t lie, before I got here (what?) I called it the Tames (Haha)
London Eye, Westminster Abbey, what a place
I think I wanna make my next trip to Cali (Uh)
[Outro]
From London with love
From London with love
From London with love
Via Dubai, high in the sky
Kicks covered in dust
Man, what’s up?
What’s up?
