Yeah, from the G.D.s to the Latin Kings, it's the city
Put your all in, you get your all back
I heard it ain't where you from, it's where you at
Perhaps, but I don't believe that
This one for the city, baby
I was resurrected from the ashes of Pac's flow
Colossal, tryna cop me a Murciélago
Dodge Rockford potholes, a place where souls rot slow
Hear them shots drop low, hours from Chicago
Where niggas swap foes, every time they swap hoes
Growing up, we would swap clothes, see you at the crossroads
Carrying a large load, Jordans and some cargo's
G's, pimps, and narcos, eighteen scanning target barcodes
Thinking that this can't be life
Falling in love with every girl I know just can't be wifed
Been some years, feeling like I never should've interfered
Vivid memories are sitting here as you crying bitter tears
Wishing you could switch decisions
Insert me in that collision
Erase what you had with me and put yawl love back in existence
The person I love the most, rather see me as a ghost
Let it go, roll me up some dope, I'm clinching on for hope
You know I got love for the city
No matter where I go, I keep it with me
But these days, I can't cope without the stick in
I think my tank is on empty
Rock bottom, think I'm hitting rock bottom
All my pain, man, whining for my problems
Rock bottom, think I'm hitting rock bottom
I was resurrected from the ashes of B.I.G's flow
Vengeful, from having hunger pains when that fridge low
Hookers after John's, I call all these hoes Lithgow's
The only nigga spitting, that still keep the track suspenseful
Putting spirits in this pencil, get comfort when this spliff blow
Watching niggas hustle outside of a Citgo
A car roll up letting shots up out that window
Reminded like that, that all of our souls in limbo
Just pray you find peace here before you judge there
Remember just cause grief here it don't mean love there
And some nights I'm gon' sleep here and I'm gon' f*ck there
Cause though I wanna settle down I can't trust fair
I've been damaged
I painted all your love on my canvas and then it vanished
From the city of your heart, I've been banished, my soul stranded
The city made my heart as hard as granite, who am I to question it
It happened how God planned it
Aye, it's no love, it's no love
It's no love out in the city my nigga
Just pour up, lick it till I throw up
Show nothin' when I'm gone, just don't forget me my nigga
It's no love, it's no love
It's no love out in the city my nigga
Just pour up, lick it till I throw up
Show nothin' when I'm gone, just don't forget me my nigga
You was my best friend, my left rib
And all the shit I could've fixed, I let live
Uh, I guess I'm too hard on my team sometimes
Worst critic of all times, but even worse on myself
Constant visions of winnin
Somethin' vaguely familiar like I lived this in a past life
Nightlife livin', lights get bright, dark brown sippin
Like green linted nights remembered and learned from when I ain't act right
Reminiscing when I should be forward thinkin
Beamer keys and a few months paid on the next life
When pockets get real tight, type of questions what the rent like
And what the lick read, never will switch teams
Loyalty is royalty hence the creative kings
No squares at this round table, how we all eat
And it's a feast, it ain't no tellin' but them boys on the rise
You either trail or you live in disguise
You know I got love for the city
No matter where I go I keep it with me
But these days I can't cope without the sticky
I think my tank is on empty
Rock bottom think I'm hittin' rock bottom
So rock for all my pain man, whinin' for my problems
Rock bottom think I'm hittin' rock bottom
Every time I go to sleep I hear them shots from them revolvers
I got, I got, I got things to see baby
I got, I got, I got, just let me do me baby
I got money to blow, got some places to go
Some things to see baby
I got weed to roll and drinks to pour
Just let me do me baby, yeah
I got money to blow, places to go
Things to see baby
I got weed to roll, drinks to pour
Shit, just let me do me baby, yeah
Know I got love for the city
Know I got love for the city
Better meet a family, yeah
