[Verse 1]
Been through fights, drama, battles, and wars
Ain’t no matter what I’ve been through, I’m always asking for more
Ain’t shit you can say about me, my mom proud of her boy
Still got the stash under the mattress if they come for your boy
Cause as you know these days expression is expensive
Just ask the ad companies making pensions off of your mentions
Young, I was dumb, I neglected all of the lessons
Anything to lessen the side effects of depression
My presence ain’t a question
To me, maybe the universe
God damn it, the truth can hurt
This planet had to be ruined first
Before humans could rule the earth and be kings and queens
Guess we all breakdown ‘fore we break through, how interesting
Blowing all your cash, instead of growing investments
Looking back on life and all the time that we wasted
Who said "wasted"?
Watching my past out the window
Analyze with this pencil
I thank God I survived my issues
[Chorus]
I wander through the city
I-I wander through the city
Heart up on my sleeve
I know karma finna get me
Society divided, my heart is feeling empty
Praying that I make it before my broken heart will kill me
[Verse 2]
I amble the city streets in camo and filthy cleats
I’m kicking game in a different lane, get to know me
Lyrics ricochet up in my brain, then on the concrete
Brought the wave to NY like Sandy to the lower east
I’m discreet. You speak emojis, I keep it low key
I amputate all the hate, I don’t roll with defeat
You stay biting your tongue, I don’t keep it tongue and cheek
I stay with my day 1s, when all we had zero they kept it 100 with me
And it’s so fucking sweet
I wander through the city, downtown all the way up
I wander through the city, daydreaming on the way up
I wander through the city, cause people can’t seem to wake up
[Chorus]
I wander through the city
I-I wander through the city
Heart up on my sleeve
I know karma finna get me
Society divided, my heart is feeling empty
Praying that I make it before my broken heart will kill me
[Beat Switch]
[Verse 3]
Yo
I’ve been in overdrive
So fly, this fur coat over my, shoulder line
Might come alive and grow to a size
Too potent for my sober eyes
An immigrant, I’m borderline
Therefore I won’t abide
My pride too important to throw aside
Suit up homie, it’s showtime
Show ‘em that it’s yo’ time
Show ‘em you ain’t quitting
2 minute drill from your own goal line
They better get to me first
Till the end of the earth
Take a shit on the enemy’s turf
Use a white flag to wipe my white ass
Ain’t no peace till my head’s in the dirt
Selfish jerk
No wonder your own mother’s regretting your birth
But she won’t once I get this fucking money right
Cooler than a cup of sunny delight
Out in Alaska, having sunny nights, the gully type
Trade the fame and the bitches for a loving wife
‘Cause I hate people, but I’m in love with life
‘Cause it offers more than those coffin doors
Gotta wonder what you wandering for
And what you running from
Complain about the winter once it’s cold but once the summer comes
You out there in the streets, waiting for the heat to be fucking done
It’s so asinine, humans always passing time
‘Cause they never satisfied
Fuck the party, be back in five
Where you going? Can’t decide
Can’t be around those clowns inside
I’ll bum a smoke or take a walk or find a ho who’s down to ride
So go ahead and fantasize
Tell yourself it hasn’t happened yet because you haven’t tried
Well, that’s a lie...
