Tecknowledgy - City Lights lyrics

[Verse 1] I've never met a bu*terfly, just a bunch of moths We circle the light to knock each other off Methods of our survival must be an unwritten bible Authored by mostly psychos this cycle is suicidal Everybody's a judge I'm not America's idol I'm speaking another language couldn't pair us on the Eiffel Cuz I'll fly away, and live to see another day But these city lights always happen to stifle Red Amber and green I watch as those lights gleam Paralyzing the gullible mesmerizing the weak And as I speak, another soul has been sold Another dream has been murdered, it's all written in bold But you refuse to read, and I'm just as guilty I'm no different man I'm just as filthy Cause I'm lusting for the light, illuminating wrong A battle within a fight so I start to sing along [Hook] I said that I'm lost in them city lights I guess that I'm gone in them city lights I said that I'm lost in them city lights I guess that I'm gone in them city lights [Verse 2] The lyrics that I have written in songs that you have listened Is just me scratching the surface to figure out what is missing I can do this with my eyes closed, but I rather not I rather see who's the next rapper that they're calling hot I gotta bone to pick with certain critics But if I pick that bone I'll leave them paralyzed so I rather kick it I'd rather be the one that they're forced to listen So they can't escape me listen this is all precision Red and blue lights flashing off my dash Club full of lost souls flashing off the cash Write songs on a daily so you know I gotta stash And that garbage that you idolize nothing but new trash But who am I to judge, just a person searching for the light Searching through the day searching through the night This is life, bits and pieces in a song Staring at the stars in my mind I sing along [Hook] x2
