[00:16.30] In the city, I'm always awake
[00:22.50] There's a symphony of music in the street
[00:27.33] And I get high to drown it out
[00:30.09] But it don't work, it just gets louder
[00:32.90] In the city, in the city
[00:38.50] The big apple took a bite out of me
[00:41.60] Look what I turned out to be
[00:43.55] I wonder if my mama really means it when she says that she's proud of me
[00:47.32] Or is she tripping, is she lying
[00:49.05] Is she on to all my lies? Mean that shit ain't rocket science
[00:51.46] I've been coming home at four, and my eyes been red as sirens
[00:53.99] I miss slurring all my words when she asked me how my night went
[00:57.38] I swear it's them white boys, it's them white boys
[00:59.41] Everything they do is so much doper than my life been
[01:02.13] I don't got that type of money, I don't got that finance
[01:04.96] She's like, why you so lazy trying to get by
[01:07.20] Back before I smoked, I wasn't even tryna get high
[01:09.96] Cigarette breaks at lunch time
[01:12.26] Bong rips to my face, I passed out at Dave's place
[01:15.21] In the morning tryna get right
[01:17.49] Nigga's got a curfew, you ain't ready for these bright lights
[01:19.74] In the city, I'm always awake
[01:24.56] There's a symphony of music in the street
[01:29.35] And I get high to drown it out
[01:32.00] But it don't work, it just gets louder
[01:34.81] In the city, in the city
[01:40.14] You really changed, change is good
[01:43.63] When you said don't let the city change you, I think it should
[01:45.89] Come from different angles, see it different ways
[01:48.66] I don't got the money, maybe we can make a trade
[01:51.09] If I can make you laugh, you can spot me cash
[01:53.68] What's the move on Tues? Yo I heard its ave
[01:56.34] These girls are kinda bougie, mom calls 'em "fast"
[01:58.88] Some say you pretentious but I call it class
[02:01.42] Prep school boys with their collars popped
[02:04.09] Coming through the spot, always see you with your sleeves rolled up
[02:07.57] Even with a uniform I could never do the norm
[02:11.93] How could I forget? I be on some shit
[02:13.91] Now I rock sweats and I still get it
[02:16.41] New kids never fit in, I wasn't any different
[02:19.35] Had to get my mind right, wasn't ready for those bright lights
[02:21.76] In the city, I'm always awake
[02:26.50] There's a symphony of music in the street
[02:31.24] And I get high to drown it out
[02:33.91] But it don't work, it just gets louder
[02:36.82] In the city, in the city
[02:43.77] Let's do something dangerous
[02:48.43] Break the rules, yeah let's shake it up
[02:54.02] Let's do something dangerous
[02:58.22] In the city that was made for us
[03:03.38] Let's do something dangerous
[03:09.06] Break the rules, yeah let's shake it up
[03:14.27] Let's do something dangerous
[03:19.39] In the city that was made for us
[03:23.93] In the city, I'm always awake
[03:28.47] There's a symphony of music in the street
[03:33.27] And I get high to drown it out
[03:35.75] But it don't work, it just gets louder
[03:38.75] In the city, in the city
[03:44.75]
