Upbeat percussive music plays What am I now? Another boy becoming man who wants to change Who's not afraid, I've had to run From boring streets and bitter priests, from smoking gun And stern parade For when you're living on your own Without a girlfriend or a home People speculate, but I'm much stronger than them I wanna be something special I wanna be something special Now I play the London game A hand to mouth existence Till someone calls my name I want it now My chance has come and I will *** it just to change The way I am, I understand The plans you make, the risks you take, the way you can When you're a man And if I sometimes have to do the things I've always wanted to I won't shy away, cause I'm much harder than that I wanna be something special I wanna be something special Now I play the London game A hand to mouth existence Till someone calls my name I wanna be something special I wanna be something special Now I play the London game A hand to mouth existence
