Cannibal Ox - Gotham (Ox City) lyrics

[Intro] Ah, you think darkness is your ally But you're merely adapted to dark I was born in it, molded by it I didn't see the light until I was already a man By then it was nothing to me but blinding You are now tuned in to the adventures of Vast Man and Goblin [Verse 1: Vordul Megallah] We stay in shape like Porsches on blocks Where women is gorgeous and kids stay strapped like Bugs Bunny Jordans Its crazed, on strips where eyes is forever glazed Like lady lemon cakes? in an age is a phase? every day trying to get paid I miss some of my friends one time imma see at the end, at some point Can't hold on to every bit of strands Trying to get over forbidden-ness(or bitterness) like ban hands So raise em up to the roof, even though some are roofless Everything ain't sweet, tell that to those thats living toothless Ima always be with my fam, like boys chasing cute girls And stay straight through the swirls [Hook - Vordul Megilah] Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls Keep it up, that's positive, patience is a virtue Don't let anything that irritates hurt you Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top Even when, struggling at the bottom, Gotham Yo I got you, like yo I got em, Gotham Got you, got you [Verse 2: Vast Aire] This is our city, New York Gritty Gotham, I got em, Ox city Right in the face of d**h, I show no pity That's why all of my exs still love me Wifey was Diane, mistress was Selena Love that Amazon, but the Kruger was meaner (Huh) plus I loved her demeanor I be in Mecca, she stayed in Medina Cipher unknown, we red hot With two cops on roof tops that's dead shots The Duo dynamic is call, Once we move these packs to D.C. we're goin ball We running this city as far as the eyes can see The shadows betray you cause they belong me Illogicality, deception ain't it? The reality is we all initiated Into the league of shadows I told Raven to keep her eye on the sparrow Iron Galaxy clique Clayface will shape-shift and you can get a face lift With a box cutter, that's mad cows son (Hell) you know I'm a ox-cutter Because Ox is so gutter From 125 all the way to Sutta [Hook - Vordul Megilah] Knowing everything ain't diamonds and pearls Keep it up, that's positive, patience is a virtue Don't let anything that irritates hurt you Cuz we ain't gonna lose our top Even when, struggling at the bottom, Gotham Yo I got you, like yo I got em, Gotham Got you, got you
