get caught up staring at those city lights
had some ugly days to get some pretty nights
cut some people off
dreams take a sacrifice
yeah they want to make it
but can never pay the price
get caught up staring at those city lights
had some ugly days to get some pretty nights
cut some people off
dreams take a sacrifice
yeah they want to make it
but can never pay the price
i've had to make some cuts
so guess now i've got enemies
homies turn to haters
just like that
almost instantly
this life ain't meant for everyone
but swear this life was meant for me
patient and i'm hungry
so my god above been blessing me
respect my grind
you can love me
you can hate my name
either way i swear this game
and i will some how make a change
i told the world i'm sit on this
i just need to catch my break
paid that price in full
told you all
i had what it takes
all these people love to talk
i let my ex's walk the walk
you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
all these people love to talk
i let my ex's walk the walk
you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
get caught up staring at those city lights
had some ugly days to get some pretty nights
cut some people off
dreams take a sacrifice
yeah they want to make it
but can never pay the price
get caught up staring at those city lights
had some ugly days to get some pretty nights
cut some people off
dreams take a sacrifice
yeah they want to make it
but can never pay the price
i know these numbers don't define me
peek over just to check
my city's still behind me
i'm starving but i won't eat
until this song is finished
see my grind is so unstoppable
mixed in with my vision
with precision i've been writing words
honestly it kind of hurts
seeing all us give up on our dreams when on the verge
like that scene titanic
i've been on the brink
no i can not stand it
i let you know what i think
all these people love to talk
i let my ex's walk the walk
you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
all these people love to talk
i let my ex's walk the walk
you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
swear you're all too scared to be something
get caught up staring at those city lights
had some ugly days to get some pretty nights
to get some pretty nights
