k**er Mike - Anywhere But Here (Remix) lyrics

I gotta get out of here, this city's gonna k** me Could be anywhere, anywhere but here I wonder how long before this sh** gone take me under [Verse 1] Moving through New York City in a black seven fifty Like Batman moving through Gotham Dodging pot holes as I gently move Through Harlem with my wheels on slalom Pain in my eyes as I'm pa**ing the place Where they found Sean Bell and they shot him (Queens) Forty one times, he committed no crime But I guess life ain't Times Square But in the city that's gritty where the bottom lives sh**ty And the mayor's a billionaire You learn Manhattan keep on making it And Brooklyn, keep on taking it Cause life just ain't that fair For the kids in the park, watching out for the Narcs Putting Sour Diesel in the air Tryin' to flip them a pack, stack up a couple racks And make it the hell outta here… (New York) [Hook] Let the city peel away right from under you There are too many ghosts in this town I can hear them calling out to me I can hear them calling out [Bridge] Let the city peel away There were too many ghosts in this town I can hear them calling out to me, out to me! [Verse 2] I maneuver through the ATL in a black SL With the goddess of a black female This is black male Heaven with the ballers are professing But to me home feels like Hell Even though it's black top from the mayor to the cops Black blood still gets spilled They raided a house, no d** were ever found But a black grandmother laid k**ed Like the dream of the King when the sniper took his life On the balcony of Lorraine Motel From now forthward, these young black boys Seem to self-sabatoge they selves Or maybe they're just smart, and they choose to go hard Cause they know the good guy will fail So you ask what happens to a dream deferred Langston, well it k**s itself... (Atlanta) [Hook] Let the city peel away right from under you There are too many clouds in this town I can hear them calling out to me I can hear them calling out Anywhere but here [Verse 3 – Chamillionaire] You know there's so many ways in the streets to get money But it's plenty more ways you can die When you get to the sky, tell the Lord I said hi I rap behind tint through my city, like that H-Town Diddy Cheesy cake'll make em walk more than a mile The paper chase got embedded in our heads But don't let it get it twisted, they might k** you with a smile And you can say it's a pity in the city where they're really k**in' us Prolly the city that's in style See we promote that foolish, then they go and rep to it And we act like we didn't notice how You see the young gettin' younger but they tougher Chopper tucked behind the buckle ‘til they pull it like pow Just ‘cause the turf where you steppin' or the people you was reppin' with Just wasn't who you should've been around Never caught him by his lonely, he got homies with homies And he think they'll be the ones to hold him down Been watchin' First 48 and actin' like he can't relate You know your friends the first to snitch on you on trial Sit down
