Leave The City ft. Andrew Manzani Lyrics

You know, you know that life gets old

And you know that love comes and love goes

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go

Never let go

Never let go

Never let go

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go

To Leave The City is to escape from what holds you down

To form a crown and place it upon your work sweated brow

Is to abolish expectations placed upon you by others

And become free from the judgements and disapproving jeers that smother

Remind peers that together we are blessed with what makes us fulfilled

And chase thrills that you can never ever provide with but still

(Fuck it, I'm giving it back to Andy he sounds better than me anyway)

You know, you know that life gets old

And you know that love comes and love goes

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go

Never let go

Never let go

Never let go

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go

I've gotta come up with something new

'Cause I ain't getting views doing what my idols used to

As soon as the roots grew, I got off of YouTube

And cued up the record so I can influence you too, but shit

When I find myself driving past the places I once lived

Thinking 'bout all the shit that's happened since

I put it in the script so all the people wearing AirPods get a glimpse

Of everything I did to make some people care about the kid, huh

I picked up and slid, like on the playground that I hid on as a kid

From all the people who I couldn't see eye to eye on how it is

They tore it down and put a motorway instead for us to skid

Our motorcade of polluting airways to keep up how we live

So when I'm sheltering from things just know I'm belting out the city tryna leave

I took a left and hit the tunnel where I used to hit the swings

If you just followed me away we could be kings

I'm only staying 'cause the queen I'm taking care of, see my rings?

Expectation, complacence, hatred are some of many things

I had to shake on the way to greatness and write down anything

To all my 2010 people I haven't seen since we were teens

Hope you do better as grown ups cause if you don't then shit I mean

The way you treated me was like I don't know how you sleep at night

What, you thought I forgot? Nah, that fucked me up for life

I still got trust issues, scud missiles affecting me and mine

I guess it's good for reflecting on when I step up to the mic

You know, you know that life gets old

And you know that love comes and love goes

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go

Never let go

Never let go

Never let go

Try and fly higher when I flow

Never, ever ever let go
