The song is Big City Life by Mattafix.

"Big City Life,
Me try fi get by,
Pressure nah ease up no matter how hard me try.
Big City Life,
Here my heart have no base,
And right now Babylon de pon me case."

I think "Babylon" is the police. Can someone confirm that? But what is "de pon me case" ? At a guess I would say they are on his case but I don't know.

Hello, when that song was released (I think 2 years ago, but I'm not so sure) I listened to the radio that Mattafix is a group from London, but they were born in a Caribbean Island, called Saint Vincent. They usually mix their 'Caribbean dialect' and the 'London-slang'in their lyrics.
Unfortunately I'm neither from London or Caribbean islands so I can't tell you more about the words Stick out tongue [:P]
