Eric Heron - My City lyrics

[Intro: R-Swift] (Run) Run this city [Hook 1: R-Swift] Ayo, I run my city Young boys live and die by the gun in my city Put on for Philly when the slums ain't pretty But I won't give up cause I'm here to (run this city) The heroes are unsung in my city They asking what good can come from my city But as long as we're alive He ain't done in my city Yeah we here to (run this city) [Verse 1: R-Swift] Uh, I'm in this city given breath to 'em Why they thinking freedom is far fetched to 'em The stained gla** couldn't mean rest to 'em But that's what happens when d**h is living next to 'em I saw a fiend take his last breath in front of me Ducking bullets with no name the streets are numbing me Mamma praying not to break I had to attenuate Wonderin' how much more could she take Everyday I wake up a subject, profile them cause I resemble the average suspect Very few opportunities for success How did you expect for me to be upset This the voice of the people that I sacrifice for And die for those moments to shed light more They say the lack of hope is k**ing the city But that won't stop us from rebuilding our city What up [Hook 2: Davis Absolute] I said I run this city Adopt it when I got it I ain't from this city Look after my people cause I love this city Every day gets sticky when I (run this city) Yeah God said run this city Adopt it when I got it, I ain't from this city Chase [?] people cause He loves this city Everyday ain't pretty but I (run this city) [Verse 2: Davis Absolute] Yep, digital Babylon Words that we write'll chit and chatter follow the fly like the cattle when the camera's on Locked in the battle from the shadows controversy and actual rock you standing on Rocky road you travel on, when Daniel saw rock of ages routed in for different foundations found salvation in the Saviours arms Kingdom of Heaven on like the kingdom of weapons that we devised and divide and encourage false recollection of history and divinity Purpose and synergy Break the mould of corporations creating identity Put us in boxes and [?] man I'mma leave to emulate the picture they believe but we pretend to be content with the separatist More imagery with the silent whisper knowing that infinity is beyond Before I finish this song I pray the intervals are Know when this is where I'm supposed to be But it's not where I belong (where I belong, where I belong) [Hook 3: Eric Heron] I'm just trying to run this city Ride around town and have fun in this city Even if I die young in this city I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah I'm just trying to run this city Ride around town and have fun in this city Even if I die young in this city I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah [Verse 3: Eric Heron] Let's flashback to before all these hashtags The [?] in a black mask Through every street like Flash Jackson Birthed up in that slave town My work place and my play ground My first date and my breakout The worst days and the grace now Got freed up with the H-Town Found Jesus on my way down My teams up when the game's down Can't beat us no way how Now one time for the cool kids And two times for the rhymes and the music I miss the days where I used to skip school and Show up to practice after I excused it Matter fact I remember all the ruses And hard work cause success is elusive The blood, sweat and tears here is confusing To those of us who have never feared losing It's amusing I'm looking back in my city Welcome to Texas, run it back like Ricky Let's go [Hook 4: R-Swift, Davis Absolute & Eric Heron] [R-Swift] Ayo, I run my city Young boys live and die by the gun in my city [Davis Absolute] Look after my people cause I love this city Every day gets sticky when I (run this city) [R-Swift] The heroes are unsung in my city They asking what good can come from my city [Eric Heron] Even if I die young in this city I'mma run this city, boy run this city, ah [Outro] Run
