[00:29.14]Any minute is rock and roll
[00:30.80]And you rock and roll
[00:32.13]And feel your soul leavin
[00:33.66]It's just the wrong dance
[00:35.32]That'll leave you not breathin
[00:39.24]I'm not particularly proud
[00:40.98]Of this predicament but
[00:42.28]I'm born and bred
[00:43.27]In this tenement I'm sentimental What
[00:45.46]Plus it's only right to represent my hood
[00:47.01]And what not

[01:52.94]When someone comes out of such a dire situation
[01:55.83]And learns the English language
[01:58.85]Just to share his observation

[02:20.46]I promise I would get it and remain strictly loyal
[02:23.36]Cause when they get it then they let it all switch and spoil
[02:26.35]But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil
