No, you can´t stop our movement
and it´s nothing cash can buy
We stand the pressure, and we stand it heads up high
Yeah so try hard to break us,
try to force us down on the pave
we will get up and survive
With the crimes so high and income so low
kids have got no say where the tower blocks rule
To get a real chance is all they try
but no one can take their soul away
You call the shots, rich and pretty
but you scum don´t know what´s on here in the city
Poor in rags - so are we
with a sound made on the street where our hearts still beat
You will never make it to the top
without dosh, relations and no job
But comradeship´s the way we trust
and no one can buy this spirit from us
You call the shots, rich and neat
but you scum don´t know what´s on here in the city
Poor in rags - so are we
keep this sound out on the street where it belongs to me
No, you can´t stop our movement
and it´s none your cash can buy
We stand the pressure doesn´t matter what you try
Yeah so try hard to break us,
try to force us down on the pave
we will get up and survive
SPIRIT OF THE STREETS
