The City That Made Me

This is God given
They say the lord can take anything that he giveth
But me? I'm still in it
Still tryna prosper, still out here on a mission
Still stuck in my ways but still set on a vision
I am still following based on an intuition
Still non stop targeting all of my competition
Still no fucks given without being offending
I just wish upon a shooting star for my fruition, now listen
I know it takes just a vision and a goal
To be sitting on the globe dipped in platinum and gold
Diamond shining all around you but a grip on your soul
Do I live in fear and defeat or go out living bold?
Like a saint who made mistakes now righting his wrongs
Know that my body gets weak but know my mind'll stay strong
'Cause I'm a shine no matter what level the pressures at
This the kid from the valley and I'm forever that

I'm from the same damn streets of the city that raised me
Fought through these scars from the city that shamed me
Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me
The kid from the valley from the city that made me
I'm on, too strong, they could never replace me
Tryna crack my code but they never could break me
Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me
The kid from the valley from the city that made me

I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Looking inside the valley, now I see no one left
Every decision make account for where you plan to end next
Got me thinking bout my mans who never savored they breaths
And I done gone through the depths, the pressure's up to my neck
To put me up to the test, but I know it never will rest
They telling me I'm the one, and it begins to make sense
Just based on my competition, that title suits me the best
'Cause I've been in a position where I know that I can't lose
Too stuck in my ways with no other routes to choose
Too set on my goals to throw a white flag too soon
I got too much to prove within myself and in my muse
'Cause I'd be damned if that's stopping me from being humble
Too high and mighty to even tumble
Built it from the ground up
So don't you ever think I'd let it fall or crumble
Now watch the young man rumble

I'm from the same damn streets of the city that raised me
Fought through these scars from the city that shamed me
Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me
The kid from the valley from the city that made me
I'm on, too strong, they could never replace me
Tryna crack my code but they never could break me
Shit ain't always perfect but this shit always make me
The kid from the valley from the city that made me

I promise all y'all man
In due time, they'll know exactly who I am

And one time for the city
One time for the city, you gotta love it
One time for the city
One time for the city, you gotta love it
One time for the city
One time for the city

That's what I'm talking about!
So from here on out, no one else can stop me on this shit
No one
