City Lights

[Verse 1]
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights
Of the shitty nights
All the ones that made me
Nights in the rain tryna get me mine
On a shitty bike
Were the ones that paid me
I knew I could do better but the city spoke a different tongue
I let it persuade me
I used to kick ball, I'll never know if I had what it takes, G
I just had what it took
You see, these city lights know how to faze me

[Chorus]
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights

[Verse 2]
I hold the pen, stroll the ends, the rain dribbles on my face
Sun rising, I'm rhyming, it's just scribbles on a page
Hard sizzling the flame, I'm at the crossroad
Smoking ammi with a blocked nose
They're talking swammys but ain't got those
Ain't a shooter, he just shot cro
I pick up habits and I drop flows
I spit these stories for the lost souls that got froze
In time, the good youths that never got home
But this ain't run-outs, this is real
40/40 chrome, the gun-outs
Fat amm pack blow your lung out
In the coldest sun out

[Chorus]
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights

[Verse 3]
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the lights of the highs, the lows
And the times I couldn't write, had to find a different vice
Reminds me of the times only time was on my side
I was thirteen, rhyming through the night about
Riding on my bike, blue lights of sirens in my sights
Watch them fly through the red light
Stood like a deer in the headlight
I do it for my boys that never got no food for thought
And got fed time

[Chorus]
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights
I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights
