CITY LIGHTS Lyrics

Since adolescence

I been adding lessons

Since them old heads told me

Yougin' sit back in that pack

And watch how these so called leaders start folding

These niggas phony

They ruling only by motive

That's why they be so emotionless

Hold on to this

Mistakes are meant to be

Learned from

So don't you trip

Only speak on what you've seen nigga

Fuck what you heard of

Don't let them people see you down nigga

They want to hurt us

And that's the realist shit I witnessed

Cause where I'm from

You can fry an egg on the sidewalk

Turn down the wrong block

And your egg get fried on the sidewalk

Every house got tools

But bob don't build on my block

That ain't no earthquake

Them 4 15's made your heart drop

East side not for the weak side

No love in these streets

So from the side walk

I hold my piece sign

Hop on the highway

And get blown to pieces

For no reason that's why I prefer

Bonnie Parker over Mona Lisa

Riding under city lights

Out here trying to live it right

I just want to make it

I got goals I got to reach

And ain't no handouts

So I got to take it

You niggas is finished

Run and duck for cover in this bitch

Cause I'm back with a vengeance

My soul got replenished

And now I'm here with the revelation

Don't care if you with it

I'll take it all with no hesitation

I'm not with the reparations

I'm here for everything I'm owed

No handouts

Should take your hands

For all the shit that you stole

Not swayed or persuaded

Solid on all ten of my toes

Hollering numbers

Ain't no auction

There's no price on my soul

Every single move on the board is calculated

Everywhere we seek and destroy is predestinated

The takeover is imminent

That's just how I'm coming

And since I started

Everything is up

I know niggas hate it

Don't give me nothing belated

No thanks or congratulations

I get it on time

Or condolence is my only statement

You with me or you the enemy

There's no in between

You switching sides on the team

You getting cut at the seam

Don't believe nothing they tell you

Cause shit just is what it seems

Don't let these niggas with no drive

Tell you what road to proceed

Don't let nobody define you

Don't follow another man's dream

And Everything around will grow

As long as you planted the seed

Riding under city lights

Out here trying live it right

I just want to make it

I got goals I got to reach

And ain't no handouts

So I got to take it

Riding under city lights

Out here trying to live it right

I just want to make it

I got goals I got to reach

And ain't no handouts

So I got to take it
