Shook Lyrics by Daniel Elia

2017

[Verse 1]
N****s want the money and cars
Yeah, but they won't pay for the price that has
Yeah, my n***a from the hood got locked behind bars (free ma n***a)
Yeah, I heard the judge might give 25 years (years, years, years, years)
For something that he didn't do, for life that he didn't choose

He's walking the path with criminals
Look, we try to live life even when we struggle
Even when I went go through hell I stay humble
Even when everything seems to fail I won't crumble, yeah

It's for the city, and I will stop
How can I, when the flow is so Biggie
The flow is so Pac, the flow is so next
The flow is so hot

[Pre-Chorus]
The flow is so hot n***a
Might burn the devil shoes
I win I never lose, I came with bad news
For you n****s who like to hit snooze
You sleeping on me, I'ma 'bout to wake 'em up

[Chorus]
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity, Burncity

[Verse 2]
I saw the way they do my n****s
I'm trynna change the way they view my n****s
They listen to music that was made by n****s
They played it at the clubs and still they won't let n****s in

I'm a King better show respect
I was raised in the pyramids
N***a I'ma pharaoh, matter a hero
Spreading all the gold Rob The Hood with the arrow

My music is the letter to the ghetto
I hope they see my vision
I'm tired of seeing all my n****s end up in prison
There's more to this life dawg

Most n****s wanna chase hoes
Most n****s don't have goals
They need a leader they can follow
I'm painting pictures I'm Picasso
It's so vivid to see it you gotta listen

Only rapper in the here to make a difference
Visions from my kitchen

[Pre-Chorus]
The flow is so hot n***a
Might burn the devil shoes
I win I never lose, I came with bad news
For you n****s who like to hit snooze
You sleeping on me, I'ma 'bout to wake 'em up

[Chorus]
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity

[Verse 3]
I just live and (find peace)
I just wanna be (free)
I just wanna walk down in the street without police looking at me

Tell them they need to leave me alone
Dealing with pain there's war at home
If I go back home I'm a stranger
If I stay in burncity I'm a criminal

But, I'm not a gang member, I'm not even violent
I don't tolerate your misconception to the public
I am not convinced your information is honest
Bending truth's affecting youths

It's reasons why I never watch the news
I avoid the fear that you try to induce
Falsely accused of crimes that I never commit (facts)
Viewed as the villain cause my skin's black

[Chorus]
Burncity, Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity, Burncity
Burncity, Burncity, Burncity
