Ain't No Secret (Love My City)
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
This from the Carolina boy, born and raised in the South
Granny cooking for the hunger, pouring tea for the drought
Never making it out, without some food for your mouth
And at the end of the route, eating never in doubt
I'm talking love from the start, meeting love from the ending
When the timing was hard, love ain't never depending
Cause it was always gonna be there, never searching to find
Very reason why the intro, always stuck in my mind
But then I started the grind, left the city although
Eight oh three in my heart, I was ready to go
They say they never loved you, if they wanted it so
That you always stayed the same, by refusing to grow
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
And so I moved to the Queen, in two oh eleven
Graduated high school, just to learn the cuisine
Thought the love would be the food, but it was really the scene
After filtering the fake, I was building my team
I'm talking love from the Cedar, all the way to the View
As the circle started shrinking, I was viewing the crew
Hit the hookah next to NoDa, slowly blowing it through
Then I'm headed Uptown, just to see what was new
Got some stories for days, that'll truly amaze
Reminiscing on the times, me and Rodney would blaze
Me and Reggie hit the road, after many delays
Tryna lay the track down, for the first mixtape
Kicking back after class, serving up on two-k
Blacking out at the View, for C-I double A
When I'm walking through the city, feeling like everyday
Eating out with my lady, at the diner at eight
But then I had to move back, shortly after the fact
Mama had the transplant, when the liver attack
Moving down to the cap, I was filling the gap
Transferring to the C, I was building my mad
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
I feel like Drake in oh-nine, when he was so far gone
Yelling Houstatlantavegas, by the end of the song
I got love for the Met, got me up in my zone
Confidence was slowly growing, as I poured the patron
Then it kept going up, once the hangover gone
From the river to Pavilion, Shell to the Exxon
I was gone off the gas, spraying on the cologne
Heading down to the points, feds waiting to spawn
Playing G-T-A five, five o'clock in the night
Could've squared up with niggas, what's the point of the fight
So my hard fucking work, quickly losing the height
And I'm back to square one, see the outcome was quite
Fucking different, its a mission, avoid all the division
Reminiscing over the times, I stopped the inhibition
Add it up to the fact, that I'm constantly backed
By my love from each verse, flowing over the track
I got love for the Crossroads, I got love for Rembert
I got love for the Den so, I'll never divert
I got love for the Queen, even love in between
I got love for Soda City, as I'm living my dreams
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
Up in the city, I got love
Got love, I got love
Say I'm up in the city, I got love
I got love, I got love
Say got love for the city, my love
My love, my love
Flowing over the city, my love
My love, got love, my love
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
It ain't no secret
It ain't no secret, man
I love my city
I love it, I love it
I love it, I love it
