Lyrics
It’s a cruel June morning on the edge of the city
It’s so damned hot and my neck is feeling gritty
I gotta find something to do
Because if I don’t pretty soon I think I’ll go lulu
Everyday seems like the same old thing
Listen to the brothers talk about their mac 10
I gotta roll because I got a feeling
I gotta keep the sound of the underground reeling
And I’m out like bell-bottom trousers
Pretty funky chunky dropping beats by the hour
And you know the sisters on the boulevard
Don’t give me pops they’re just too damned hard
Stroll right past them, roll right past them
Even though they talk rap and make me want to blast them
Because I’m chill I have to keep subliminal
Because I know my enemy’s a white collar criminal
(Rolling) in the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
Hey-yey-yey-yeah
Em-hem, em-hem
Alright
You don’t know me; you haven’t seen what I’ve seen
So you could never really understand what I mean
I’m telling you child I’ve got a major dose of punk
I’m sick with the flavour of the thick chocolate stump
But a pessimistic attitude can get in the way
So when the night comes all you want to do is play
So we roll to the club to see if we can get it on
Even if we don’t know how we’re gonna make it home
Because once on the floor we can really shake our booty
Shaking all our troubles away doing the duty
Going on, keeping on until the break of dawn
Come every Friday and I could have sworn
I seen the same guy in the same shirt one to four
Have some trouble with the guy at the door
‘Coz everywhere we go it’s like a show
You gotta watch your back because you never know
(Rolling) in the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
Hey-yey-yey-yeah
Em-hem, em-hem
Alright
There goes the neighbourhood
(Rolling) in the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
In the neighbourhood
(And we’re rolling) in the neighbourhood
Hey-yey-yey-yeah
Em-hem, em-hem
Alright
