[Chorus]
West, West, West London
Oh, West, West, West
We done our best
We done our best
Done our best
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Oh, yeah
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Our best
We done our best
Oh, we the West
[Verse 1: Double C]
Nobody was feelin' the kid
Double C, that's the team that we in now
I'm dreamin' of this
Got pain in my heart
Man's dealin' with it
Put a mic in my hand
And now I am leanin' with it (Yeah)
Them days therе
Had thoughts in my head
That I can't control
I gotta rise
Nobody knows what I go through
Guess it's a Wеstside Story
But I got no boo
[Verse 2]
Lonely
Smile on my face but my head's bare stressed
Had pain in these cold streets
Switched up, they don't know me
Can't change up, stay the old me
West London where the folks be
Hoodied up, stay low-key
Concrete jungle ,it's nothin' like Mowgli
[Verse 3]
And we come from a place with corrupted Jakes
They ain't doin' their jobs, but still get paid
See Grove still lit even on a weekdays
When Grenfell happened, the ends weren't the same
Tryna make me a mil, still won't rest
And I think 'bout bread before I get dressed
W10 be the Wild, Wild West
And they all come West cah the gyal want zess
[Verse 4]
I was really raised in the Westsde
She said when she zess in the S Side
Her and her bredrins are havin' the best time
Spillin' the Henny on all of the wettys
Servin', I'm servin', call me a deli
By the seaside with pebs, got Shelly
Now the GG patterns look trendy
Free my slime balls, lockdown, no celly
[Chorus]
West, West, West London
Oh, West, West, West
We done our best
We done our best
Done our best
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Oh, yeah
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Our best
We done our best
Oh, we the West
[Verse 5]
W10 where the best was grown
Stay pinned on the map
Gotta give us our thrown
Everyone's local
Every block we call home
Grenfell was the biggest tragedy known
Couple friends lost
Hits my heart with agony
Got a hole in my heart like cavities
Everyone 'round here to me is family
So mind how you talk, rapidly
Rappin' changed me, I'll say it with chest
Carnival comin', just whine and flex
Stay chillin' on the line, I ain't got no rest
My phone still beat, and I stay gettin' cheques
Uh, said, my phone still beat, and I stay gettin' cheques
Just big up the whole of West
[Verse 6]
Born in the ten but raised in the eleven
You know what it is, it's far from heaven
That day, left me with so many questions
Like how, why, how did it happen?
We won't stop fightin' till we get justice
So many families lost (Seventy-two)
We'll solve this injustice
We'll solve this injustice (We will)
West
[Verse 7]
On a mission like 007
Just a black boy from W11
Talk to my friends who got moved to heaven
The Gov' is corrupt, that's true, no question
June 14 when I leant me my lesson
Had to take time and reflect on my blessings
RIP Jess, all day, no question
Can't go silent, I'm just showin' expression
But the Govs don't really like that
Wanna call us animals when we fight back
Tryna hold me down, but I gotta fight that
This is Ladbroke Grove
And that's where my heart's at
But the Govs don't really like that
Wanna call us animals when we fight back
Tryna hold me down, but I gotta fight that
This is Ladbroke Grove
And that's where my heart's at
[Chorus]
West, West, West London
Oh, West, West, West
We done our best
We done our best
Done our best
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Oh, yeah
Unity, unity
Inner we, inner we
Our best
We done our best
Oh, we the West
[Outro]
Children growin', women producin'
Men go work and some go stealing
West
Everyone's got to make a living
Everyone's got to make a living
West
