Aili G - Diamond Dog

In a city so gritty where shadows play
Men with dark secrets walk each day
Hustlers and schemers in a world so wild
Where every whispered word is a truth defiled

In the back alleys of London town
Where the deals go down and the thieves wear crowns
You gotta keep your eyes open wide
In a game of cards there's nowhere to hide

In the back alleys of London town
Where the deals go down and the thieves wear crowns
You gotta keep your eyes open wide
In a game of cards there's nowhere to hide

Boxers and bookies with their eyes on the prize
Every crooked smile hides a hundred lies
Diamonds and dollars they rule the day
In a twisted game where everyone's prey

In the city's heartbeat we're running fast
Chasing down dreams that were never meant to last
With a pocket full of trouble and a gun in hand
We're living on the edge in a lawless land

There's a man named Turkish with a plan so fine
A boxer called Gorgeous caught in a bind
Gypsy caravans and a dog on the loose
A diamond that's worth the weight of truth

With every twist and turn we're playing the odds
In a world of cons where everyone's flawed
Fight clubs and heists it's all or nothing here
Living on the edge of danger and fear

We're the diamond dogs with a grin so sly
We take what we want no need to justify
Through the smoke and mirrors in the dead of night
We're gonna find that stone we're gonna make it right

Brick Top's got a plan he's pulling all the strings
But every dog has its day every man his kings
With a one-two punch and a flick of the wrist
We're betting it all on this last twist

Lies and deceit in a wicked dance
Every move calculated every glance
With fortune on the line and a gun to the head
We're dancing with danger to the edge we're led

In the city's heartbeat we're running fast
Chasing down dreams that were never meant to last
With a pocket full of trouble and a gun in hand
We're living on the edge in a lawless land

So roll the dice take your chance
In this game of life in this wicked dance
In the streets of London under neon skies
We're hunting for diamonds we're chasing the prize
