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
