This City ft. Matthew J. Ruys Lyrics

I was born inside this city

I gave my all

I rise and fall

I climbed the walls

I made a name

Yeah I found fame

I tasted pain

And I was to blame

I lived and breathed

I planted seed

I fed my need

I wore my knees

If I don’t get out I’m gonna die

Dragged down by truth and lies

I’m running out of time

How do I find strength to let it go

With everything that I know

Everything that I call home

And I tried

I tried so hard

Yeah I tried

I tried so hard

It takes a village

It takes it’s toll

I am surrounded

I am alone

I smell the coffee

I wear the scars

I look for meaning

But I can only see so far

If I don’t get out I’m gonna die

Dragged down by all the lies

I’m running out of time

How do I find strength to let it go

With everything that I know

Everything that I call home

And I tried

I tried so hard

And I tried

I tried so hard

And I tried

Tried so hard

And I tried, so hard

Inside this city
