Lyrics:
when we laid at you and Paige's crib
Was there so long I coulda paid rent
Remember when we couldn't get shit?
Best thing bout being broke is you don't
the Zoological Garden"
Now we went out there on our honeymoon
Says the mut' to me: "If
You don't come soon
I'll have to sleep in with the hairy baboon
Inside
to your pain
I also-
So I lose sleep wondering, today
Is there some previous chapter
Ripped from the universe it'self
We don't know what we don't know
ask me to say
That we'll be ok so I play along
But you don't notice the way I lie
Outside a city sleeps, inside you weep
We took it all too far
the club
Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide
My city's full of gang bangers and drive-bys
Why do we die at an early age?
He was so
streets know game, can't ball, don't play
Heavy traffic, one lane, everybody move
Two words, Mos Def, Black Jack, hot shit
Calm down, get back, ghetto
To sleep
My sunlit eyes
I don't want to go
To sleep
Stuck inside my dream
By the salty sea
Busy city street
Get me to my feet
Start the night on key
Wake up
home for the city with Hollywood stars in your eyes
Now your mother God bless her cries herself to sleep every night
Oh my girl, my sweet, innocent
The city's cold and empty
No one's around to judge me
I can't see clearly when you're gone
I said, oh, I'm blinded by the lights
I can't sleep until I feel
They say, "give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by".
But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog
They say, "give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by".
But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog
bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace
Maybe it sounds mean
But I really don't think so
They say, "give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by".
But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog
the city up
As if the sun had the night shift
And paint the town red for my nigga found dead too soon
(Bitch, I'm back out-)
Yeah
To the left of that
When the radio breaks, when the static feels right
Tear the city up street by street, don?t sleep keep up all night
When the radio breaks, when
by the gram
Freddie, I'm a killer queen, you lather me in kerosene
I think I need a quarantine 'cause I'm a walking Halloween
I read it in
nigga
We ready for shootouts
We don't dodge em nigga
Need about 15 bucks with this carbon nigga
Whole team eatin', we not starving nigga
Plus my bitch
home.
He made a promise he couldn't keep.
I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line.
Now don't you fret, now
Love
There's no mistaking it
Love
There's no escaping it to
Can you hold me close and don't let go, embrace me
And stay by my side right here
Can you
They say, "give yourself a chance son, don't let life pass you by".
But the world of reality is a rat race where only the strongest survive,
It's a dog
I own a mansion, but live in a house
A king-size bed, but I sleep on the couch
I'm Mr. Brightside, glass is half full
But my tank is half empty,
hell
When I sleep I use to dream that I go there
In my dreams it is a beautiful town
A mix between London and New York City
In 77 when the best
Won't change give up that life
Someone always gets in the hood
In the hood, in the hood
For gangsters
Everyone's banging, wannabe bangers
By these
You know, I been a guest in a lot of great places in my lifetime
New York City, Carnegie Hall
Grand Ole Opry, Nashville, Tennesse
West Plains,
