It’s too late, too late
For the city
Burn the fucker down, fan the flames
Then I’ll eat the ashes, whoa
Weigh this city with a grain of salt and take no loss
Steal my culture, then you sell it back to me and gentrify
I work too hard, too long
I’m paralyzed
By the city
Live to tell the tale, how I survived
From now on, now on
I’m fighting for the prize
So long, I’m never looking back
Watch you drown in my wave
This city won’t take me down to my grave
Fuck that, motherfucker
Fuck that
I need to save myself
I don’t want to drown in all the things I’ve failed
I’ll watch you drown in my wave
Gavе my heart, my soul
To the city
They won’t givе a shit
Till you take a fucking pic with Drizzy, hoe
Fake handshakes, fake smiles, gatekeepers
In a crab bucket, with a glass ceiling
Fighting for my life
Lord you know I tried to be civil
But these motherfuckers can’t get our fucking name right, ugh
From now on, now on
I’m fighting for the prize
So long, I’m never looking back
Watch you drown in my wave
This city won’t take me down to my grave
Fuck that, motherfucker
Fuck that
I need to save myself
I don’t want to drown in all the things I’ve failed
I’ll watch you drown in my wave
Drown this city, drown this city
Drown this city, drown this city now
Drown this city, drown this city
Drown this city, drown this city now
Drown this city, drown this city
Drown this city, drown this city now
Drown this city, drown this city
Drown this city, drown this city
This city won’t take me underground
This city won’t change who I am now
I know exactly what to do
I know just exactly what do
I’m never coming back to you
This city won’t take me down to my grave
