City Boy

I'm a city boy
I can’t swim
But I can climb a building tho
I'm a city boy
All these trees but none
That I can fucking smoke
I'm a city boy
Swinging through
The concrete jungle
I’m a city boy
City never sleeps city never closed

Move from Brooklyn to Atlanta
Thought that It would be better
But it was a still same hood
Just a different ghetta
Change your address
They still don't like you
I was the only black dude
In a white school
You ain't gotta like me
But you better respect me
Sick of trying to be nice
You never gonna accept me
Everybody in school
Was preppy except me
But when in Rome
So I got me a Becky
Stuck out like a sore thumb
Once you saw my fashion
Could tell I was from New York Before your heard my accent
I need to hear Sirens
I need to hear traffic
It's too much silence
Can't even get a nap in

I'm a city boy
I can't swim
But I can climb a building tho
I'm a city boy
All these trees but none
That I can fucking smoke
I’m a city boy
Swinging through
The concrete jungle
I’m a city boy
City never sleeps city never closed

Move to the Georgia peach
From the Big Apple
Got me tapping my timbos
Tranna get back home
I got a green thumb
Who wanna ride with me
Believe me I don't care
I’ll walk the I20
I was nine my opinion didn't count
Till we got robbed
For everything in our house
Where you reside
You think you don't count
I'd rather be up north
Than be down south
My moms packed us up
And moved us all back to Brooklyn
Whoever robbed us
I wanted to leave good look
And move back
To the center of the globe
New York City
Home sweet home
