Hi again my amazing family. I’m lorah and this is my entry for this week. I decided to sing this song cause i did a 1 minute cover on tiktok and it actually gave me quite impressive number of views. the part where it says “i like it in the city when two worlds collide” is the trending line on TikTok, it’s also one of the most powerful line in the song. It highlights the diversity and contrasts present in urban life. It appreciates the moments when different cultures, social classes, or perspectives come together, creating something unique and meaningful.
The song as a whole isn’t just about a place, it’s about the emotions tied to it. This captures the bittersweet reality of city life, its beauty, its struggles, and the way it shapes who we are.
Lyrics here:
I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And turning my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear?
Is there anyone I could call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam
I ain't lost, just wandering"
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of now
I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque
I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades
I like it in the city when two worlds collide
You get the people and the government
Everybody taking different sides
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain't gonna take it
Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
'Round my hometown
Memories are fresh
'Round my hometown
Ooh the people I've met yeah
Do-dily-di-da-da-da-da-day, yeah
Do-dily-di-da-da-da-da-day, yeah
Do-do-do-do-ohh-ohh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, hey, ay
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of my world
Are the wonders of this world
Are the wonders of my world
Of my world, yeah
Of my world
Of my world, yeah
