drank in the pub on the saturday night
me and the boys were feeling allright
then we burst the street feeling lot of pride
proud with our root and our way of life

stood some geezers try to steal the night
stared at us try to pick a fight
me and the boys were waiting for the start
as we prepared for an aggro, oh what a night

that's the story of our life go
we have been treated like a bunch of snuck up fool
scorn by many understood by few
there's not much thing left for us to do

don't wanna go back to dark days of mine
where i've gone too far i could've kill someone
but i don't want to sit down behaving like a cunt
while watching my mates doing the best they can

in the street of uptown(ooo....)
street of uptown
it is our up and our down
and it goes around and around

in the street of uptown(ooo...)
street of uptown
it is our laugh and our tears
and it won't last for years
