Da T.r.u.t.h. - The City lyrics

Man I love my city And I love my life it ain't always pretty And life is too short to be actin' all petty And I ain't got it all but I always got plenty So why should I complain When I could just pray if I ain't got it in the bank And I could just pray if I'm [?] in pain And I got my umbrella here from standin' in the rain That's protection throughout the stormy nights When life is crazy that's when His glory's bright Then I'm reminded through all the pain As much as I love livin' that there's more to life When everything is okay Still looking forward to the day When I'm not a stranger and there is no danger In the City of Hope... I put on for my city And I live in the 'burbs where the streets ain't pretty And got a little land I ain't tryna be [?] But I'm grateful to the Father for eveything He give me 'Cause everything ain't bad And life could be good if we on the right path And she could be cool if if we sittin' on cash Throwin' good for yourself when your foot is on the gas But the good life still ain't good enough And life is full of things that are pullin' us But if we keep our eyes to the skies where Jesus [?] keep lookin' up When everything is okay Still looking forward to the day When I'm not a stranger and there is no danger In the City of Hope... Three gates in the West Three gates in the East Three more in the North 'nother three in the South Twenty-four at His feet I could hear the critics say [?] this is in vain But I guarantee that it's not you say this has better stop Jesus got up from the grave That there is the proof That one day me and you Will go down into the grave and never bein' afraid 'Cause we will all do the same If you're here tonight Put your hand up high You don't ever have to cry we'll meet him up in the sky And forever be alive In the City of Hope...
