lyrics
Yo
Daywalkerz
Spizm
Watts and Know Sage
Yo uh
Ya weapon honed to a sharp edge
Gassed you up so much you up
And leapt off a dark ledge
Tuck and roll the landing
Or depend on your hard head
Nah
Even after all the planning you are dead
No one makes it out the city alive
It eats up every generation
And there’s plenty supply
Stifle all your aspirations
Shit is killing my vibe
Images dim in my mind
Sipping Jim ten at a time
Heroes and villains blur to fit in the lines
The cynicisms written in the design
Just keep to the grind and it will be fine
It will be fine
It's all gone to waste
Making ends meet
Living inside the city
To the city
Whoa
Coming up short
Everyone on the streets
Glory to the city
To the city
Whoa
Glory
Glory to the city
Yeah
Box cutter to ya neck
She said don’t make a move
Got no one else
She had nothing to prove
When she inda corna boxed in nothing to lose
Glory claimed anotha
She on one cause these dudes
Wilin in dey coupe on a loop of fiascos
She was a cheeky rascal stacking for cash flows
Unloose her noose took a grip of that lasso
Clapped back quick on ‘em streetz she a hassle
Still the house wins when you in the high castle
The sins of the city keep the beasts in attack mode
Thought it was a dream
A crowd swarm the scene
A nightmare from these fiends
Who want smoke like nicotine
Huh
Glory to the city
You've gotta give it some time
And make some room for your life
Then maybe you'll see
The effect you have on me
There’s the weight of the world
Got me down on my knees
But what you don't understand
That it's all a dream
Wow
Glory to the city
Whoa
Glory to the city
