The City (Feat. Phoebe Ryan)

In the city I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work it just gets louder In the city in the city The big apple took a bite out of me Look what I turned out to be I wonder if my mama really means it when she says that she's proud of me Or is she tripping is she lying Is she on to all my lies Mean that shit ain't rocket science I've been coming home at four and my eyes been red as sirens I miss slurring all my words when she asked me how my night went I swear it's them white boys it's them white boys Everything they do is so much doper than my life been I don't got that type of money I don't got that finance She's like why you so lazy trying to get by Night before I smoked I wasn't even tryna get high Cigarette breaks at lunch time Bong rips to my face I passed out at Dave's place In the morning tryna get right Nigga's got a curfew you ain't ready for these bright lights In the city I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work it just gets louder In the city in the city You really changed change is good When you said don't let the city change you I think it should Come from different angles see it different ways I don't got the money maybe we can make a trade If I can make you laugh you can spot me cash What's the move on Tues Yo I heard its ave These girls are kinda bougie mom calls 'em fast Some say you pretentious but I call it class Prep school boys with their collars popped Coming through the spot always see you with your sleeves rolled up Even with a uniform I could never do the norm How could I forget I be on some shit Now I rock sweats and I still get it New kids never fit in I wasn't any different Had to get my mind right wasn't ready for those bright lights In the city I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work it just gets louder In the city in the city Let's do something dangerous Break the rules yeah let's shake it up Let's do something dangerous In the city that was made for us Let's do something dangerous Break the rules yeah let's shake it up Let's do something dangerous In the city that was made for us In the city that was made for us In the city I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work it just gets louder In the city in the city
