Mommy works nine til five in a job that she hates
But we need to survive and we know we
Don't have to explain our lives
But I tell you that we live like we got nine
Our feet on the dashboard, we're not posh
Got a lot of friends, but I don't got a lot of dosh
And the sirens they go, oh oh
And the sirens they go, oh oh oh
Sitting, watching, waiting, wishing
I tell you one thing, you never knew it
At the back at the bus there is so much to give
So dream big
And when they sceaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down, yeah
When they sceaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down
Get down, get down
Get down, get down
Baby, our streets for show
When we come around they're always wanting more
And we're running up bills we can't afford
And we dance all night cause we never get bored, no
Always talking trash, we’re not posh
We're flying so high like oh my gosh
And the sirens they go, oh oh
And the sirens they go, oh oh oh
Sitting, watching, waiting, wishing
I tell you one thing, you never knew it
At the back at the bus there is so much to give
So dream big, yeah
And when they sceaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down
When they screaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down
I'm only seventeen with a face full of spots
Taking shots, with the heavy heart liquor getting faded
Til the penny drops
And I call for the court night niggas
Overshow, got a tight in the screws around four
And streets can be a black hole
But I gotta sing and laugh about it now
I'd be rapping in my sleep
Tryna make it in this crazy town
And I'm still alive but I don't know how
That's why I'm
Sitting, watching, waiting, wishing
I tell you one thing, you never knew it
At the back at the bus there is so much to give
So dream big
And when they screaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down,yeah
When they screaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down, yeah
And when they screaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down
When they screaming get out, get out
All I wanna hear is get down, get down
And when we get, oh oh oh oh oh oh (get down, get down)
Oh oh oh oh oh oh (get down, get down)
And when we get, oh oh oh oh oh oh
The time's not on our side
Yeah, we can be satisfied
We don't let nobody dim my light
Never boring now we never try
Free to fly, yeah, we fly so high
In it for the thrill of it, whatever you think of it
Always wanna find us
