[Intro]
Welcome to the city life
[Verse 1: Bubba Sparxxx]
I tried my best to maintain the La Grange in me
A country child runnin' wild in this insane city (City)
Thing's pretty but they ain't really as they appear (No)
I drink a case of beer in Central Park and shed a tear (Oh)
'Cause I made it here and saw my morals disappear (Gone)
Bubba Sparxxx gone on that dope, did ya hear?
It isn't clear whether or not tomorrow will
Ever come and if it does I'm hollow still
I made a couple million dollar bills
And if I hadn't snorted it yeah I could probably chill
The remainder of my days but it wasn't the way
God scripted it for Bubba K just today
I took my old man fishin' and I got to listen
To his wisdom it reminded me what I was missin'
When I was out there caught up the in the city life
I promise I'ma get it right, we gon' get it right
[Chorus]
Step off in this town where nobody knows your name
Welcome home babe (City life, city life)
Step off in this town where nobody knows your name
Welcome home babe (City life, yeah, yeah)
Welcome to the city life
[Verse 2: Fatt Tarr]
This is it, Mama I done it
I might have made it to where I told you I wanted to
But I don't know what I gonna do so I'm runnin' to
A different city with different people and different rules
Where the pines don't shine in the moonlight
Limelight's about as bright as a starry night
But it ain't the same, I got my pint in the jar (Jar)
Just to remind me that we came far (To the city life)
Can't play the guitar 'cause they won't listen
A million city slickers son-bitches thinkin' they're magicians
But they won't get the best of this county boy
I'ma make some noise for these country boys
Winchester's rise raised and I grew up
They never gave a shit 'til we blew up
But now I'm here and I won't let y'all down
Small town, big dreams, how you like that sound
[Chorus]
Step off in this town where nobody knows your name
Welcome home babe (City life, city life)
Step off in this town where nobody knows your name
Welcome home babe (City life, yeah, yeah)
Welcome to the city life
[Verse 3: C-Hubb]
City life, pretty lights, they got me enticed
Come to the city, make your music ain't gotta tell me twice
Hell nah, unless I haven't heard right
'Cause I been dreamin' of this ever since the first time I burst rhymes
I played my music on them dark nights
Pitch black off in my room but I can see a star bright
Burnin' right in front of me yearnin' at me
To keep on pushin' 'til I'm makin' history
Y'all heard of me? (City life) hell nah
Man this city's cold as a witch's tit
Concrete, sky scrappers, greedy and vicious men
Nobody knows your name but everybody's famous
There ain't a patch of grass to walk on just a bunch of pavement
They sayin' "Hubb sign your name or it's a no-go"
City life's twisted all I know my Boe is damnit I'm homegrown
So suck it up or go home, oh, and welcome to the city life
[Outro]
