malcolm early - bout the city lyrics

[chorus]
there’s something ’bout the city
yeah i live this life, you don’t get this twice
the place i went and turned my dreams to a bentley
i earned my stripes, running through these lights
100 on the dash, smash until the tank empty
so much i sacrificed, tell me what’s your price
out here dodging all the hate and the envy
riding staring at the skyline, can’t live life on the sideline
there’s something bout the city
[verse]
hit the gas, i never cruise
put it all on the line, that’s what i do
it’s all up to me, i win or lose
skyscr+per paper yeah we up here with the views
drug deals, robbery, poverty, monopoly
i come from the city it’s all a part of me, i feel it in my arteries
my heart beating thinkin’ bout’ the family eating
yeah i’m grinding for a reason
flow steady like traffic on the weekend
seen a millionaire walk past a bum to a meeting
and he ain’t drop a dollar, he just popped his collar
selfish with it guess he forgot about karma

[pre+chorus]
this the life i chose
out here on the go
i stay on the road
this is all i know

[chorus]
there’s something ’bout the city
yeah i live this life, you don’t get this twice
the place i went and turned my dreams to a bentley
i earned my stripes, running through these lights
100 on the dash, smash until the tank empty
so much i sacrificed, tell me what’s your price
out here dodging all the hate and the envy
riding staring at the skyline, can’t live life on the sideline
there’s something bout the city
[verse]
yeah, i had to move out that small town
headed west to hollywood where all of the starts found
where i grew up it felt like the dog pound
i broke out the cage, did my thang, made my mom proud
and the city never sleeps, it don’t calm down
watch how you move, don’t get caught up with the wrong crowd
cause these streets is cold and unforgiving
gotta stay on your toes, you know that’s how we living let’s go

[pre+chorus]
this the life i chose
out here on the go
i stay on the road
this is all i know
