Make It In The City

I'm just a thugOn the other side of the lawRaised in the hoodNever thought I'd make it this farI went from standing on the blockDealing, toting my glock, weighing product on a triple-beamI even got hassled a lotMainly by crooked copsLife wasn't as easy as it seems[Chorus]Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Gets harder everydayTo come up with the rent and ain't got a job (ain't got a job)Try'na keep the bills paidBut don't wanna get locked up no more (locked up no more)See, my parole officer almost caught me with that stuffTossed it so he wouldn't find a trace (wouldn't find a trace)Not to mention my baby mommaThe bitch is greedy as fuckGot child support steady on my case[Chorus]Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Got a little personalBut let me break it downI'm not the only one out here going through it nowIt's international, recessions all aroundWe gotta be here for each other when it hit the groundI know you heard it (heard it)And work it (work it)Don't give up it'll all work out (work out)Can't never stop hoping (hoping)But certain (but certain)I be grinding until the day that I die[Chorus]Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])Try'na make it in the cityWhere we stay on the grind (stay on the grind [x2])
