[Verse 1]
Stars on the ground and scraping the sky
Steam underneath streets, hell's baking a pie
Even those with vertigo finding ways to get high
One hand motion for hello and goodbye
I'm waving
Through the land of wind and bricks
To the sands of expensive chicks
To the neon Babylon of sins and chips
To the Mecca of the blues where they booze and expose they tits
And all others in between I've seen
During the course of me sleep running chasing a dream
I wanted to stay longer take in the scene
Soak up the sun bake in the green baked off the green
Kush and haze like peaches and cream in one bowl
Coughed so hard I seen my soul
Fought so hard I've seen my goal
It's a long ways off but at least I know
Seeing sights through my eyes will increase my flow
Let the piece without a clip be the peace I grow
From show to show where the skylines glow
Once again goodbye and hello to the
[Hook]
Bright lights big city
Everything is so pretty
In the city
Well, tonight
[Verse 2]
Sometimes the other side of the curtain ain't sweet
Pretty can turn ugly like when eyebrows meet
In a fairy tale Oz where the high brows speak
For the poor who click heel for hot meals to eat
The gold ain't paved its pawned in the street
Monkeys think they fly but never leave concrete
Seen girls go from actresses to mattresses
Grabbed and flipped over by they axises
Keep strange hands where they a**es is
Make the music which you mouth baby that's the Biz
Confusing making moves with making ba*tard kids
On Maury trying to find out who the daddies is
Big city swallow you whole, mind body and soul
Lambo in the ghetto every part of you gone
Sitting on bricks missing wishing for home
Lights so bright your vision was blown by the
