mfasis - drowning in the city lyrics

{verse 1}

life’s about your point of view
we tryna make a coin or 2
no crowd to join, so the city’s who they pointing to
they leave they’re puddle to make commotion
but we’re drowning in this ocean
too many people, it’s so hard to be the focus
these n-ggas looking for something
they be like “bro i’m cooking up something. but my town don’t get no love, i should move to brooklyn or something.”
its greener on the other side, that’s my word please don’t snub the wise
especially when hipsters buy the hood cause a realtor said “it’s on the rise”
y’all are fooled most of us here ain’t the wealthiest
y’all see resources, but not one person helped me yet
no one cares bout my well being
can’t tell you what to do
just want you to think it through
‘fo you come to the deep end of the pool’

{chorus}

throughout the country there’s a struggle
we all living in a bubble
you want deeper waters? we tryna swim to ya puddle
you wanna be heard? well just picture a city where others flood you
its cool though i’ll embrace it
rat race, but i’m patient
its the paper that i’m chasing
that’s a pretty common statement
tryna make it out the bas-m-nt, y’all are too we all struggle
just don’t overlook your bubble
more people don’t mean more love too
that’s where the locals get the muscles
from trying to swim to your puddles

{verse 2}

calm ya nerves this ain’t a personal attack
to be exact, all your dreams should stay in tact
just know the world is in your pocket, n-ggas in london can hear ya tracks
i don’t have no one to go to just got pro tools float on the beat like goku
its not enough you gotta get to grinding til the sun up
there’s a slim chance of a fairy tale come up
this might sound bitter to some, but i just want to understand the others so we comprehend each other
but i understand we ain’t gotta hold hands with each other
but y’all, should know its now a level playing field
everything i’m saying’s real
its a pity you ain’t missing much in the city
you n-ggas awe at the appeal, but i yawn it ain’t a thrill
y’all n-ggas clawing for a spot tryna get ya paws on a couple of mill
now i ain’t against new faces, its open arms in the boroughs
but y’all all come here to leave your mark in the world like zoro
know you wanna be a star, but everyday another’s born
so before you call me scorned think how you’ll act once the tables turn

{chorus}
