Skizzy Mars - The City lyrics

[Hook: Phoebe Ryan] In the city, I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work, it just gets louder In the city, in the city [Verse 1: Skizzy Mars] The big apple took a bite out of me Look what I turned out to be I wonder if my mama really means it when she says that she's proud of me Or is she tripping, is she lying Is she on to all my lies? Mean that sh** ain't rocket science I've been coming home at four, and my eyes been red as sirens I miss slurring all my words when she asked me how my night went I swear it's them white boys, it's them white boys Everything they do is so much doper than my life been I don't got that type of money, I don't got that finance She's like, why you so lazy trying to get by Back before I smoked, I wasn't even tryna get high Cigarette breaks at lunch time Bong rips to my face, I pa**ed out at Dave's place In the morning tryna get right n***a's got a curfew, you ain't ready for these bright lights [Hook] In the city, I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work, it just gets louder In the city, in the city [Verse 2] You really changed, change is good When you said don't let the city change you, I think it should Come from different angles, see it different ways I don't got the money, maybe we can make a trade If I can make you laugh, you can spot me cash What's the move on Tues? Yo I heard its ave These girls are kinda bougie, mom calls 'em "fast" Some say you pretentious but I call it cla** Prep school boys with their collars popped Coming through the spot, always see you with your sleeves rolled up Even with a uniform I could never do the norm How could I forget? I be on some sh** Now I rock sweats and I still get it New kids never fit in, I wasn't any different Had to get my mind right, wasn't ready for those bright lights [Hook] In the city, I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work, it just gets louder In the city, in the city [Bridge: Skizzy Mars] Let's do something dangerous Break the rules, yeah let's shake it up Let's do something dangerous In the city that was made for us Let's do something dangerous Break the rules, yeah let's shake it up Let's do something dangerous In the city that was made for us In the city that was made for us [Hook] In the city, I'm always awake There's a symphony of music in the street And I get high to drown it out But it don't work, it just gets louder In the city, in the city
