City Dreams Lyrics

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
