[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just hopelessly hopin'
One day you'll be devoted
You just play my emotions
And I get lost in the moment
[Chorus]
We found love in the city lights (In the city lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Can I make you mine?)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind
We found love in the city lights (City lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Wanna make you mine)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind (Baby, make you mine)
[Verse 1]
Now a nigga up, I could never go back
And I'm always goin' dumb, I could never hold back
Found out his girl all up on me, he should probably know that
If I want her, he gon' never get that little ho back
But I stay loyal, little nigga, no, I'll never be a P, ayy
And I'm givin' all I got 'cause in this game I play for keeps, ayy
An I ain't had no bridge to cross, instead I took a leap
Ayy, bro bro, better have respect, you better watch the way you speak, ayy
She can't be my shorty, she a diva
Why she actin' like I need her?
She so cocky, and she bossy, somehow I like her demeanor
And when I pop out with my niggas, they come runnin' when they see us
Turns out that lil' bitch a eater
Should've known to not believe her
I'm the talk of the town, ayy
I'm the man when I'm walkin' around, ayy
Better hush, ain't no talkin' aloud, ayy
I remember they all used to doubt, they believe in me now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just hopelessly hopin'
One day you'll be devoted
You just play my emotions
And I get lost in the moment
[Chorus]
We found love in the city lights (In the city lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Can I make you mine?)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind
We found love in the city lights (City lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Wanna make you mine)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind (Baby, make you mine)
[Verse 2]
Now what?
Woah, I'm not really sure, I just hope I'm right
Livin' on the edge, it's the shit we like
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, baby, I'll be fine
And everybody that was dubbin' better sit down
Don't be all up on my dick now
I remember when you looked at me and laughed, but I'm the shit now
Brodie, go ahead and try me, you gon' see the way we get down
Dip out
I might have to go and bring his bitch out
Oh, you flexin' your money, I heard you in debt
Everybody tell me they got me, but I never check
And you know I'm makin' these plays, ain't breakin' a sweat
Suddenly, the moves I was makin' start takin' effect (Oh)
I said I'm the man, bitch, I'm the man
I'ma do what I want 'cause I can
All my goons 'bout to hop out the van
Hope you know where I stand 'cause I feel like the man
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just hopelessly hopin'
One day you'll be devoted
You just play my emotions
And I get lost in the moment
[Chorus]
We found love in the city lights (In the city lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Can I make you mine?)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind
We found love in the city lights (City lights)
Oh, I wanna make you mine (Wanna make you mine)
Just take time when you take my side (So blind, so blind)
This was her design, she's a mastermind (Baby, make you mine)
