6ix - Across the Metropolis lyrics

[Verse 1: Louis Retro] Started thinking 'bout it in the eighth grade Didn't tell nobody I was too afraid But I still went home and wrote everyday I was in my zone I was in my place If they ever knew all the things I planned Probably write it off I was in a phase But I told myself I would never change I was integrated, stuck in my ways Then I got to college and started rapping more Opportunity was at the door Like it's moving day Throw the speakers up Let them hear me all through that dormitory Now I'm making room for my allegory I could tell it now But that's a long story Fast forward to the end of school when I closed the book And I phoned Cory Now I write it out and I drop that sh** Kinda feel there's no stopping this Roll the windows down Let me hear that thing Playing all across the metropolis I been gone awhile But it's all for this And I still remember who's mocking it And my whole squad said they need it out I tried to hold them off but they need it now Tell them that's why they don't see me out All I hear is how I'm missing out But I'm fine with that Case closed I'm tryna rap So nothing else really matters Sitting down with the silverware and the platters I hope they understand Long time coming Now they know the plan Long term run it [Hook: Louis Retro] Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end (That's why I won't ever let up!) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end [Verse 2: Louis Retro] Full time student Full time music Asked God He said you better use it Got second life If you ever thinking you ain't bout to make it Better grind through it Diamond cuts You're the light in their tunnel vision and they're all reaching Rap game renaissance man Better straighten up when I walk in I been here, I been barking See a new wall, Ima mark it Bet I hop over Then it's all over Taking aim I'm a marksman With the sights lined up stalking Pray Lord keep me on the straight path that I'm walking And keep me up 'till the coffin If anybody asks I been moving at a new speed I'm in a different lane All I know is write a new speech and if I put it out there it's a different game Every time I read Newsweek They say business first and let the rest develop Boy, I'm well up now Lately I take my phone calls to a different name I swear we're schemin' Showed up like we own the scene and ain't never leaving Represent for the ma** of people Now tell me I need a different reason Everyday we're out here We're making moves and we're barely breathing (barely breathing) Keeping up with the best of them About to leave behind all the rest of them Let's go! [Hook: Louis Retro] Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end (That's why I won't ever let up!) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end [Verse 3: Louis Retro] Who dat said they gon' come for us (Who dat said they gon' come for us) I got a whole team If you ain't one of them Then we all know you ain't one to trust It's trash day and we're taking out (Trash day and we're taking out) And ain't nobody ever show us nothing Really had to go and find our own route Now we're in here Keep it moving I'm in gear They said when you gon' make it I was thinking 'bout this year I was thinking 'bout my time I was thinking how I'm from the city really known for all of its street signs And they all seem to point one way That's way up! Having secret conversations put it on the land line If they're coming for me Hope they catch that land mine Catch them slipping Going off the deep end Now that water whippin' I'm just steady cooking something in the kitchen That's the mission Now we're rolling out Don't care what they say, this is our day Never went the way they said to go, did it our way Ask me if I do this everyday, I say all day Got the college kids rapping in the hallways [Hook: Louis Retro] Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end (That's why I won't ever let up!) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) Let them know we never stop (never stop) (no we) Tell my homies now we rock (rock) We rocking 'till the end
