My City

[Verse 1]
As a kid I had dreams of gettin' big
I didn't understand then but I'm gettin' it
I was fittin' in, workin' on standin' out
Now when I'm on stage, they pull their cameras out
I know it feels like the beginning of you
I been laying the groundwork a minute or two
Much as I do it for me, I do it for you
I do it for success, what a beautiful view, I can't lie
True to my crew, they been there through it all
They were there on the bench, they'll be there when I ball
I'm a man of my word, got my hand on my heart
Nervous as hell, but I got everyone playing their part
And it'll pay off, winning just in time for the playoffs
Sick as hell but I'll never take a day off
Say off to the races, and now I'm gone
It's a different level, it's a pedestal that I'm on
Something that I asked for, no complaints 'round here, top gear
Ain't no second place round here
Take a look at the kid, listen to what I'm saying
This shit is from the heart and when I'm talking, I ain't playing

[Chorus]
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city

[Verse 2]
Me and the team, weight of the world
Hugging the choes, dating my girl
Tryna make it for the nights that we stayed up workin', plannin'
Only option: make it happen
Coulda bought clothes, instead bought a studio
Hometown boys in an industry that's who-you-know
But we gon' make it anyway, I could do this shit all-day
And guarantee we do it our way
I swear this life ain't for the weak, it's a lotta stress, it's a lotta beef
It's a lotta love, and a lotta jealousy
It's a lotta sifting through the bullshit they telling me
But I know, I know it ain't s'posed to be easy
If we're not there, we're damn close, believe me
Got a lot on my mind, a boy gone
On the road right now but the show goes on

[Chorus]
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city

[Verse 3]
Uh, okay, they countin' on the Speck kid
When I get it, I'ma show 'em what that first check did
Used to only imagine, now I can make it happen
I got 'em clappin', shit I can make a living off of rappin'
Wow, what an epiphany, look at what you did for me
It's been a struggle, but I wouldn't do it differently
The good and the bad, up and the down
What would I do if the people in my city weren't around?

[Chorus]
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
Go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
I'ma go and get it, go, go, go and get it
Go, go, go, go and get it, pick it up and bring it to my city
