The City
Downtown, Uber black
Pull up to the club strong
On the corners' kids trappin
They were shown love wrong
Every play's a nightmare
See it on the jumbotron
5-0 in the cut, cut right
I had to throw it long
The city's run by lucifer
I bet you ain't new to her
Pay your dues or you might have to choose what's true to your lifestyle
The night's wild, the bright side of darkness
Mama bought some silicone, that's makeup for the heartless
In a new Versace robe, so you know her eyes' stoned
She'll probably make you love her quicker with your eyes closed
House parties, jungle juice, barely make it back home
What's god to the nightlife? Benzes, x's, nice dome
Fire up a spliff in the corner you gon see shit
Shorty took a dab, now she's walking like she's seasick
Somebody's gon sex her before she gets sobered up
Death to all innocence, no witnesses, she poured her cup
In the city of a billion souls
Where everybody fades to one
I'm more than just a number
I'm not just anyone
In the city when the world's so cold
Everybody fades to one
I wanna see you, girl, in the morning sun
Dreams upper echelon, reality's targeted
Billboards, ill formed, casually marketing,
in this new world order, leads to casualties, offerings
Worshipping entertainers cause you envy their coffins
It's not resolved good or evil, conquering nations, waging wars
Evil's silencing, violence, and beating down the poor
Valuing a life off of what you can't afford
Oh is that a Bugatti? Now you don't care who's in the Ford
You gon carry out orders without questioning the source
Entranced by a chorus, illusions of inner force
On the sidelines of a war for your soul since you were born
Listen closely for the angels, demons morph so many forms
The sun'll always shine, you can't let them turn a lie to truth
The internet has been a threat, the seeing always stay aloof
A billion other souls, not one of them is close to you
Keep your head high, trust GOD, we gon make it through
In the city of a billion souls
Where everybody fades to one
I'm more than just a number
I'm not just anyone
In the city when the world's so cold
Everybody fades to one
I wanna see you, girl, in the morning sun
In the city of a billion souls
Where everybody fades to one
I'm more than just a number
I'm not just anyone
In the city when the world's so cold
Everybody fades to one
I wanna see you, girl, in the morning sun
Pull up to the club strong
On the corners' kids trappin
They were shown love wrong
Every play's a nightmare
See it on the jumbotron
5-0 in the cut, cut right
I had to throw it long
The city's run by lucifer
I bet you ain't new to her
Pay your dues or you might have to choose what's true to your lifestyle
