​tpk - Metro lyrics

[Intro] Welcome to the Metro... It's a dangerous place out there... Spreads out for miles... There are thousands of people... And it's buildings are tall [Verse 1] This your first time in the area, ain't it? Dream City ain't an easy place to walk the ritz Toughest city alive, it will eat you up Then spit you out after taking your bucks Plus the people aren't really that friendly Hell, half of them own expensive Bentley's They could care less about you then they do themselves If you're trying to find a job, then well... A minimum wage job is all you'll get And you're at the lowest level so prepare for disrespect It doesn't matter how you work, it's how you kiss his a** So prepare to lose your integrity and alot of cla** Even then, you'll be struggling to pay them bills The rents, they're always going uphill... Think you reached the top, well think again And don't expect a helping hand to lend [Interlude] You think that's tough It gets even tougher in the Metro It's ride or die out there And you gotta do your best to survive [Verse 2] Gunshots everywhere, dope peddlers on the streets Better be prepared to run with your own two feet For if they catch up to you then well, it's over Better pack up and move to the city of Bolder City lifestyle is for you?, you better prove it... Gotta hustle and bustle and you better move it... Look tough, act tough, that's the code of the city Ain't no time to think, your environment is gritty Don't think about nightlife, it's overpriced Plus you're basically tired from working day and night It's 10 to 10 and you in hustle mode baby Better not overwork yourself and go crazy The metro area is unforgiving if you live there But if you're just visiting, it'll treat you fair There's only one rule, don't fall for the allure Cause it might mess up your entire world Yeah!
