Brixton Briefcase
Chase & Status Lyrics

In here my Brixton briefcase (yea)
I have my Brixton briefcase on me right now

From across the pond
I've traveled a long way, from America to London

London's burning (yea)
There's a lot of chaos and unrest in London right now

But the beat goes on
Despite everything going on, the music and partying continues

Feel my power (power)
I feel powerful and alive

The electric life
The energy and excitement of the city at night

Real rude boys (yea)
People who are tough and unapologetic

On the town tonight
Out and about in the city, ready to have a good time

We don't need no fighting
We don't want any trouble or violence tonight

All these beautiful birds around
There are attractive women everywhere we look

The liquor charge like lightning
Alcohol flows quickly and strongly

As soon as the sun goes down
Once it's dark outside, the party really gets going

Turn it on
Let's get the music started and the party going

Hey!
An enthusiastic exclamation

I got a Brixton briefcase (yea)
I have my Brixton briefcase with me

Ministry of Sound
A famous London nightclub

The walls between us
The things that divide us

We gon' tear them down
We're going to overcome our differences and unite through music and partying

Is that such a sin?
Is it really so wrong to have a good time and enjoy life?

Blokes get batoned
People get beaten with police batons

They get a Chelsea grin
They get a permanent scar from being cut in the mouth

Girl do your dance for me glorious
Dance and move your body in a beautiful and majestic way

Smile and sing along
Join in the fun and celebrate with us

Shake your ass for me, mama
Move your hips and dance erotically

They're playin' your favorite song
The music is perfect and exactly what you wanted to hear

All along from records
Throughout history and music

Nothing's solved
We still have problems and issues to deal with

Tell Old Bill fuck off
Tell the police to go away and leave us alone

All my feelings
All of my strong emotions and experiences

All my friends
Me and my group of friends

Had to ride that train
Had to go through a difficult and trying experience

All the way to the ends
Until the very end of the journey

All of you and not your neighbor
All of you as individuals, not just the person next to you

Pretending to be posh
Trying to act high-class and fancy

Baby, the music can save us
The power of music to bring people together and heal our problems

Only a wanker was searching for
Only a foolish person would look for something other than music to solve our issues

Get it on
Let's start dancing and having a good time

Get, get it on
More encouragement to start dancing and partying

Oh, turn it on
More encouragement to turn up the music and start the party

I got a Brixton briefcase
Reiteration that I have my briefcase with me

Feel my power
A reminder of my personal strength and confidence

Got a Brixton briefcase
One last reminder that I still have my briefcase
