The City Lyrics

The city broke my heart, I went away to heal

Came back a better man, if I'm speakin' real

Probably made of mill, who will ever know

I'm pissin' in the wind, write my name in snow

The city broke my heart, and probably killed my dad

A mix of fear and loathing with the bit of breakin' bad

I'm runnin' down a dream, make it home by dawn

At least I made it to the fuckin' lawn

The city ain't really changed, got the same streets

Listen to her heart, still got the same beat

When the stars come out, on the edge of town

Good music and some food, well be throwin' down

The city raised me up, buy they tried to hold me back

Then they let me loose, make it fuckin' crack

These people stole my style, now they hate my look

Let me sing a little, you can hate my hook

The city used to rock, now they got the rules

I wasn't prepared, but now I got the tools

Made em' all jealous, they can see the talent

I used to grab the mic, release the dragon

Had to buy the gallon, but couldn't keep my balance

You got a triple beam, man it's a fuckin' challenge

The city eats you up, this place forgets your name

You try to keep your aim, but the end result is lame

The city made me strong, the people made me weak

I had the wrong idea, I had the right technique

When the stars align, I get that glow I gave it my soul, every time I did a show

The city lights, they warm my face Looks like they reach, all the way up to space

I'm itty bitty, they look so pretty

If you ask me who broke my heart

The city

The city

The city
