City Trees ft. The Brooklyn Nat1ve Lyrics

I was not designed to do this

I should be out in the forest

But I guess that I was born a city tree

So I'm pushing up the sidewalk

I'm just pushing up the sidewalk

Until everybody's tripping over me

Tripping over me

Start my speech tonight

With a toucha nonviolence

Native's about speak shawty

Come on silence

Late night in paradise

I say this so you recognize

These rhymes that I emphasize

Are truly meant to specialize

Improvements in depression

Lemme take you to the tropics

Listen with discretion

Cause were switching up the topics

Listen to my sonnet

Call it every ideology

Brothas that are dodging me

Are jacking scientology

I need sunshine and water

But I'm drinking from the gutter

And the skyline throws shade down on my leaves

So I'm pushing up the sidewalk

I'm just pushing up the sidewalk

Until everybody's tripping over me

Tripping over me

Hopeless romancing

We can go dancing

Maybe go glancing

Count the stars laughing

Why waste any time

Maybe we should grab a bite

Yeah, this one for the shawties

Y'all deserve to have a life

I go and slow it down

I call the flow a sedative

I go and speed it up

So share this with ya relatives

Learned a lot of lessons

From watching all the street dwellers

Welcome to the city where

All ya see is steep measures

Every time I make advances

They go cutting back my branches

Well this city is not big enough for me

So I'm pushing up the sidewalk

I'm just pushing up the sidewalk

Until everybody's tripping over me

Tripping over me

Tripping over me
