Benin City All Smoke, No Fire
[Verse 1]
It's ten past twelve and a doorman's giving me grief
At a brand new bar where the job center used to be
You can spend more in an hour I doubt most here earn in a week
Said the doorman:
-“Isn't there somewhere you've got to be? Sorry, mate, no hats nor trainers. Could you move to the side to the pavement”
--“What about that dude, he's got trainers? And if I was straight broke, we're neighbors. No need to yell”
--“You're terrifying our clientele. Don't make the rules and it can't be helped. You can't stay here, bruv, you've got to go”
[Chorus]
Will this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
All smoke and no fire
Electric shock with no wire
Could this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
[Verse 2]
There's a fire sale on his home front
Paki just got a nose job
An uncle pulls out “Closed Shop”
I need to piss, can't afford the pot
Now, who's got the price for this vulture?
Who's got the time for this poor sod?
Don't know what you were expecting, bruv
We own the lease, just pay the rent
I swear, you think I'm daff, bro
You must be having a laugh, bro
Your shoes are in my gaff, bro
Your croissants is in my cafe, bro
Your fly is in my dancehall
Your parking in my market
This borough is where I'm from, is all I know
If I can't stay here, where will I go?
[Chorus]
Will this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
All smoke and no fire
Electric shock with no wire
Could this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
Will this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
All smoke and no fire
Electric shock with no wire
Could this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
[Bridge]
Sharks in this water
All dark in my corner
[Outro]
Will this be the day, the…
Will this be the day, the…
Will this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
All smoke and no fire
Electric shock with no wire
Could this be the day, the day that I go down for good?
