Cities - Interlude

[Verse]

Recognize my life, ridicule my fight

Give me fuel for the fire burnin' when I yearn these lights

In the midst of the hieroglyphs my fingertips start to write

Get familiar with Cartwright, ‘cause I want that shot

I'm a raging bull when the needle drops

For the record, I'ma wreck it, even if my record don't pop

I'ma tie a knot on a downtown buildin'

Let it tow behind me, tell 'em they can find me

In the dark with the ghetto children

Look at my heart, nigga, fuck your feelings, this is me

Kendrick, and I wear pendant on my shoulder

Soldier, like a lieutenant

And the coupe tinted, got pulled over

Johnny always lock a nigga down, knowin' damn well

We don't wanna see the box like Manny Pacquiao

Little nigga Mayweather size

Ride like Pac in his prime; Thug Life is now on radar

'Til the federal come through and raid ours

Reminiscin' when the L.A. Raiders

Was in my home, snapback fitted on my uncle's dome

And I don't condone dickridin'

I'm addicted to Westsidin'

Livin' in a city where the skinny niggas die

And the semi bullets fly, but it turned me to a lion

Tryin', try-tryn', tryn'...
