City to City

Tell me I'm gifted I'm too lifted But I'll take that Some years ago mentally I fell off, been tryna shake back You know it's real they way a nigga spit it you can't fake that Don't keep up with the lingo but it ain't cap But think that, cause f*ck all da bragging rights These niggas ain't living half a life Keep running round, lil iron chest Charlie They'll lay you down you in the Pastor's sight This was some shit that I had write Too many mothers is sad tonight Losing these kids to the fads and hype Say that the problem no dad in life I know a nigga with dad in his life His daddy go visit, while he doing life No Eddie Murphy, this one hell of a price All of this shit started just shooting dice Then all them doors we was kicking at night Enjoying the rush but I know it ain't right Karma come back and I pay for that twice City to city, amused by the lights City to city seems stuck on the same shit City to city same streets same language City to city, yeah we hate it but can't change shit City to city, yeah we got numb to this pain quick Numb to it We see the flames and run thru it It's like I deserve it I'm feeling unworthy Ignoring the message and tempted by serpents Damn Will I succeed as man, fulfill all my plans, and ease up my burdens Watch how they breaking me down, and tarnish my crown, ignoring my purpose I never feed into haters In time I know the intentions will surface Grandpa said son take ya time, know them clouds come around Gotta keep ya head to the sky and 2 feet on the ground You don't even wanna kill the vibe Young nigga make the city ride Last time we made the city cry Used to put on them hand-me downs but it's more to life than just getting by I ain't really give a f*ck about it cause it's more to life than just getting fly Take all I got to see Keem free, now that's some shit make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive That's some shit that make me feel alive eh
