TNT Theme Song Lyrics
VERSE 1
My mother told me not talk to strangers
So I hid my head in books
I was afraid for while I wouldn’t be the perfect child
But now the city’s shown me perfect isn’t real
You say you’re disciplined but can you handle failure
Cause victory is not so cut and dry
The streets are scary, broken bottles line the pavement
Just make that fear your battle cry
PRE-CHORUS
I see you but can you see me
Put down your book and talk to me
Transparent though your walls may be
Your life remains a mystery
CHORUS
Who’s got the right to the city,
When streets don’t need your pity,
1000 lives untold.
No pride, no shame, no wrath, no glory.
Let your neighbour tell your story.
Just one word.
VERSE 2
Our pockets are empty but we are richer than you know
Our legacy is worth a thousand pots of gold
Seasons change and stories fade
But we refuse to be erased
No footsteps ever fall in the same place
CHORUS
Who’s got the right to the city,
When streets don’t need your pity,
1000 lives untold.
No pride, no shame, no wrath, no glory.
Let your neighbour tell your story.
Just one word.
BRIDGE
I think I saw you here before
I know this room I’ve walked this floor
I might be small I might be young
I might be scared that I’ll be wrong
But I’m not afraid of the dark
I’ll use my voice I’ll leave my mark
This rift between the rich and poor
We’ll leave it sitting by the door
(x2)
CHORUS
Who’s got the right to the city,
When the streets don’t need your pity,
1000 lives untold.
No pride, no shame, no wrath, no glory.
Let your neighbour tell your story.
Just one word.
