City Lights

[Verse 1] I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights Of the shitty nights All the ones that made me Nights in the rain tryna get me mine On a shitty bike Were the ones that paid me I knew I could do better but the city spoke a different tongue I let it persuade me I used to kick ball, I'll never know if I had what it takes, G I just had what it took You see, these city lights know how to faze me [Chorus] I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights [Verse 2] I hold the pen, stroll the ends, the rain dribbles on my face Sun rising, I'm rhyming, it's just scribbles on a page Hard sizzling the flame, I'm at the crossroad Smoking ammi with a blocked nose They're talking swammys but ain't got those Ain't a shooter, he just shot cro I pick up habits and I drop flows I spit these stories for the lost souls that got froze In time, the good youths that never got home But this ain't run-outs, this is real 40/40 chrome, the gun-outs Fat amm pack blow your lung out In the coldest sun out [Chorus] I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights [Verse 3] I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the lights of the highs, the lows And the times I couldn't write, had to find a different vice Reminds me of the times only time was on my side I was thirteen, rhyming through the night about Riding on my bike, blue lights of sirens in my sights Watch them fly through the red light Stood like a deer in the headlight I do it for my boys that never got no food for thought And got fed time [Chorus] I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights I wasn't blinded, but reminded by the city lights
