jet gladstone - city of light lyrics

[verse 1]
on a train catch me, writing to perfection
all sounds right, when i start to hear neglection
stumbling blocks, you might call them
even though i walk, i fall, i’m never stalling
wanna talk to god about just all my problems
then i second guess myself, i wanna solve ’em
all them, lies i told i’m so sorry
maybe it’s the fact i’m bad because you caught ’em
baby, that’s the past so look onward
fraid my time is up, you moved forward
all those times i thought about calling
lost myself and now i’m straight balling
correcting myself, has become a new obsession
all of my truths, and the rest of my confessions
train of mind got me hanging by the d-mn throat
devote, so i guess i’m writing down my last note

[hook]
we in a city of light, still nothing ain’t bright
we fight to get out, surrounded by the night
what’s right we know, try with all our might
in fright still we know in the line of sight

[verse 2]
look i seen good girls turn to dope, b boys turn to crack
mothers turn the corner to the sh-t and ain’t no turning back
and i been knee deep in it
had my partner get the feds on him, we keep sinning
keep spinning, keep cooking i don’t mean based
free based, pre laced blunts to a fiends face
but we straight cuz i won’t ever sniff it
couldn’t say the same for him, i couldn’t take how he was living
couple weeks up in a clinic, that can’t even rid it
put it on his plate he’d take a sniff and he was itching’
you probably think you’ll be a millionaire from pitching
risked it while his cousin spent decade in a prison, that ain’t living
so it’s never going back now
don’t wonder why i walk around with my hat down
cuz i won’t never let it take my life
so for now it’s just me beneath the city lights

[hook]

[verse 3]
lack of visual empathy might just be the end of me
sending me back to the back, with my biggest enemy
is in front of me, or is it behind me
at this point i’m so lost maybe it’s inside of me
laying asleep, so dormant, feeling so cancerous
lie there till it rise and it starts to hit
gotta figure it out, what’s about to come out
tryna break out, living in doubt
and a shadow looking washed out
sitting at the side of the ring, i’m getting boxed out
getting locked out, no keys in a rap drought
tried to sneak in, got caught so i’m back out
black out, darker than a thousand midnights
cry out but it’s only me in the dead night
wishing i could see the fame in the line of sight
wish that i was living in a place in the city of light
