Intro (15s: Sirens fade to skank) Verse 1 Tower block shadow, concrete cage so tight, 9-to-5 grind, steal mi day and night. Horn dem blare, people rush like fiends, But mi soul screamin' for the green countryside dreams. Chorus (Melody: Bluesy descend Dm-C-Bb-A) City hustle escape, break the chain tonight, Head fi di hills, under moonlight. No more Babylon trap, mi feet gonna fly, City hustle escape, touch the sky! (Rasta road!) Verse 2 Billboard lies, promise gold but gi' rust, Fake smile faces in the traffic dust. Mi pick mi bag, thumb out pon di lane, Leavin' di noise, wash away di pain. Chorus Bridge (45s dub: Sparse hi-hats, wailing organ solo) Verse 3 Now mi campfire glow, river sing sweet tune, Stars overhead, harvest mi own food. City far behind, mi heart finally free, Hustle escape, dis mi victory. Outro (Horns blast out) City hustle... (Jahan Blaze: Freedom, yow!)
