City Dreams

What up
The King is back in the building
I used to have to put a hundred down
To lay my flows
That was hundreds out my pocket
Could have gone to shows
Separate myself from comfort
Just to stay on goals
Nipsey Hussle shit
I built this bitch up on my own
My closest friends
I ain't even seen in a while
I hope I show em in my work
That I'm making them proud
But they don't know this lost connection
Is wearing me out
This lonely path is for the greatest
No trading it out

Cause that's my word
On my first impression
I set my boundaries
That pay the fee
Without verbal message
I lust for power too much
To busy manifesting
To busy contemplating debating
It gets excessive
I came from turning the hardest losses
To learning lessons
Built up bridges across my city
To stay connected
Theres no place that we ain't headed
I plan to do this forever
Whats wrong with blowing bread
Ill return with some cheddar
When you invest into yourself
Its part of the game
Hyp saw it in me first
When he put me on stage
Told me
Ain't enough love in the world these days
And spreading love could be the cure for feeling afraid

Im at the point
Where I don't need to hear it at all
People saying he changed
But never knew me at all
People wondering where imma take it
And if I fall
Counting up on my days
I guess they been waiting long
This what it look like
These city dreams will make it look bright
I look ahead so i don't lose sight
Im making time trying to do right
And paving ways for the new life
My only hope is that they choose right
My deepest thoughts come from humble beginnings
Ones that started off
With the courage and modest pretension
And making music was the path to connect
What was missing
I hit the edge of braking past
What was offered or given
I made a new life
And offered myself
A new position
My whole life
Been pushing myself
Exceeding limits
Might as well do this as my commitment
And give out thanks to where its given
The city of dreams for the living
