birdapres - city of glass lyrics

[intro]:
gonna take the rains on this one
trust me i know what i’m doing
i lived here most my life

[verse one]:
this ain’t hollywood way up coast
schwarzenegger tries to play us close
cause he says we took cash from yours
the day my city was cast as yours
we could be new york
we could be la
seattle or boston
chi-town to the bay
who we are, you probably couldn’t say
had a ball team, a lot of them couldn’t play
people visit, a lot of them wouldn’t stay
most of the year the sky stays good and grey
drink this coffee cause we need the energy
barely bat an eye when we see celebrities
whether they’re setting up for the next location shot
or in the market for a nice vacation spot
n0body here’s consuming their cash
just don’t throw stones in the city of gl-ss

[hook]
cause it is what it is round here
cause it is what it is up here

[verse two]:
this ain’t hollywood, we down for glory
cause it just don’t rain in california
around the clock it’s the sound of commerce
electricity and bottled water
so some get dollars when it rains all winter
most wear a headset at a call center
and might scr-p it out over lost commission
cause this sh-t don’t add up to the cost of living
very few places you could mention is pretty
with such a deep seated sense of the gritty
the camera’s seen every inch of this city
from amateur p-rn stars pinching their t-tties
to summer block busters
some do not trust us
we get controlled substances across customs
and brush with the law like colgate (yup)
at one of these strip clubs you could find your soul mate

[hook]

[verse three]:
this ain’t america, we try to pretend
it’s only the villains that die in the end
for you it must be amusing to watch
all this foreign production
moving to prague
it’s biz as use, still drop syllables
immune to eastern scorn and ridicule
they don’t know us, it ain’t news here
they worst they could do is up and move here
we have room, if you can afford it
but if you pay rent then you’re losing a fortune
a lucrative market, get locked into payments
make ‘em of grow up in your bas-m-nt
not going to say sh-t, we keep to ourselves
those tell don’t know, those who know don’t tell
you have your style, this is our own
you’re just visiting, this is our home

[hook]
