City Lights

[Verse 1]
Uh ! Look !
Everyday you wake up to the bullshit
Same old story, same people before me
So you're drinking everyday, that's the way your life
You let the devil control, you don't try to fight
Your best friend is a bottle of vodka
And the girl you used to love, got tired and dropped ya
You in the hood so alone you try to live
Everyday you wanna die, you don't try to bleed
It's a real struggle when you money out
And you can move coke on a money route
It ain't the right thing, but it's the only option
Or you can grab a gun, and get it poppin'
Too many deaths in my hood, and they're all black
I don't play the [...] but it's all a fact
We need to fall back, we've got a lot of issues
Too many tears cried, not enough tissues
Take pride in the truth, try to uplift you
But haters hate, and try to fuck with you
It gets deeper, death, the Grim Reaper
It's a cold-cold world, we ain't got a heater
We need to stop killing, and try to raise children
I can't, fuck that !
You wanna play the villain
These are my thoughts, these are my feelings
I couldn't raise the roof, I barely had a ceiling

[Chorus]
You see the city lights (yeah), you want a big stage (yeah)
You won't see the ghettos, or the guns blaze
But your fast cars (yeah), but your happy days (yeah)
But your beautiful women, man that shit is a phase

Yeah, real talk nigga
Man that shit is a phase
Uh yeah, real talk nigga (yo !)

[Verse 2]
Yo, sniffing skank turned you from pretty into a skinny ag
In a few more hours you'd have been dead, zipped up in a bag
Luckily we called the ambulance just in time
While your men was upstair still huffin' lines
Now you're in I see you
On a [...] your two lungs can't work
Respirators are making the move
You abused your body [...] shell
Trapped by the addictive spell, ripped up in a living hell
I see you graviting and twitching ripping your bad pose
Vomitting and crying, trying to exorcize your [...] ghost
You're feeling death close, feeling for a new start
Tryna pop red blood deep into your blue heart
It's too dark to see through the pain and cold rain
No matter how hard you work, this like there's no change
Cocaine, nicotine, methadone, sugar [...]
Made you weakened out [...] a damn dream
On a [...] ((gracias ?))
Half alive, barely able to laugh and cry
Just let it out, let go all the pain trapped inside
Make it through your blackest night, and take back your pride

[Chorus]
