young toronto - a tale of two cities lyrics

[verse 1 – toronto]
to y’all n-gg-s toronto is the northern side
where all of the beavers and caribou reside
but here in toronto, n-gg-s know i rep the south side
where n-gg-s be selling dope, because their full of to much pride
to accept a welfare cheque
would rather starve or die
youngings hiding their face, so no one would see them cry
they hoping for the lord, they looking up to the sky
wanting to believe the truth, but feeling caught in a lie
and everyday they fight, and everyday they try
looking to make a quick loonie to get by
willing to do anything, arm for arm, eye for eye
but we look to each other and all we wonder is why

[hook]
oh i’ve spent so many days crying
oh i’ve spent so many days in pain
sometimes i wonder if it’s worth trying
is it worth struggling in the game
i’ve spent way to many days crying
i’ve spent way to many days in pain
sometimes i wish i could stop time from flying
wishing everything could also be the same
[verse 2 – detroit]
moving out to detroit really shaped me into a man
understanding street mechanics, had to grow up fast as i can
was running through metro motown with my boys like a clan
had to learn to defend my -ss, eventually i became a fan
of the bigger guys, teaching me how i can
knock a n-gg-‘s head off for tryna f-ck with my plans
of moving up through the system, it’s a struggle in this land
sh-t had always been heated, giving light n-gg-s tans
eventually i started f-cking with hip hip, i became a stan
i like eminem as well, but royce was the man
lived in detroit for four years, his music helped me through that span
to survive in the city that turned me into a man

[verse 3 – toronto]
coming back to this city, i really struggled with life
reuniting with old friends, discovering my future wife
to think there were days where i wanted to take a knife
and drive it into my wrist, wanting to end my life
like i didn’t even mind fading into the light
been coping by smoking weed, just to calm myself down at night
been struggling with what’s wrong, but it feels so f-cking right
cutting off ties with people, my family used to be tight
but i still hold onto hope, i know an end is in sight
like kendrick said himself, everything will be alright
whether we face a struggle, or things are a delight
it’s all just a part of this game we call life
