Kwaye - The City Waits

When are we gonna go out?
Oh, the city waits
A sleepless sound roams
The streets are howling, ooh
But the people are loud, they roar

Woah woah, I feel like crying some days
But I'm smiling
Thunder, I feel like lightning some days
In a city lockdown

Young man out there, the world is not so fair
You beg and steal and borrow
But your time is coming, I swear
You pay the price and see it's not so nice
You'd scratch your head and wonder if they'd ever sacrifice for you

Woah woah, I feel like crying some days
But I'm smiling
Thunder, I feel like lightning some days
In a city lockdown

If I should ever go far away, leave this city I'll be okay
My hometown is a place I make
Carry that thing, carry that
If I should ever go far away, leave this city I'll be okay
My hometown is a place I make
Carry that thing, carry that
Carry that

When are we gonna go out?
Oh, the city waits
A sleepless sound roams
The streets are howling, ooh
But the people are loud, they roar
They roar

Woah woah, I feel like crying some days
But I'm smiling
Thunder, I feel like lightning some days
In a city lockdown
Woah
