City Lights Lyrics by Dr Flea

Keep On Moving

2013

[Verse 1: Dr Flea]
Uh
Walkin’ solo, facin’ my past
Head down to the ground, spottin’ snakes in the grass
See, I can see these fakes through the cracks in the mask
‘Cause rappers is fabricated with imaginary bars
So everything you rap about, I’ve actually seen it
The real heads’ll tell ya that anger is a weakness
Is it their fault for bein’ fake
Or is it the fans fault that they actually believe it?
They just rap to rap, but me, I mean it
They wanna rap battle but I’m battlin’ my demons
Walkin’ a fine line of insanity and genius
Seen things, and that’s happenin’ frequent
You need to understand where ya brother's stand
‘Cause certain mates’ll turn for a couple grand
Or a couple grams, it’s an F’d business
‘Cause certain dudes ain’t out for ya best interests
[Chorus 1: Lala, Dr Flea]
Drive through these
Streets I love
I got no-
Where to go
Still trapped in
This black hole
I need to
Find my soul, yeah (Uh)
[Verse 2: Dr Flea]
All them drugs and money, that can change people
You thought that was your mate? Look how they take people
Can’t escape your fate, we’re all made equal
It’s the decisions you make that can create evil
Walkin’ the streets, I see the same people
Same junkies, same money and same needles
Shit’s real, it’s nuttin’ to be glorified
I think I lost the plot along with the storyline
And life ain’t another damn party
So fuck rap, they don’t understand half me
I’m in the struggle while you other man’s laughin’
I’m front-linin’ a one-man army
I got my crew, my fam, my fans, my girl, my world
But I still watch it drive past me
That’s why I keep to myself
I’ll do this on my own, no screamin’ for help
[Chorus 1: Lala]
Drive through these
Streets I love
I got no-
Where to go
Still trapped in
This black hole
I need to
Find my soul, yeah
[Verse 3: Dr Flea]
I stay alone, gettin’ faded on my own
In the zone, till I’m layin’ in a grave below
See, I found the underground, I made it home
Now it’s drivin’ me elsewhere in a lane of my own
So I ain’t rappin’ like the rest of these dudes
Me, I rap how I feel, and I mean every move
Expressive in the booth on each and every tune
Think it’s easy to be me? Then take a step in my shoes
You wouldn’t last longer than a second, you’re through
Only way you’ll be hangin’ round’s with your neck in a noose
But trust, I ain’t complainin’, I’m just tellin’ the truth
Since a young teen, I’ve seen what heroin’ll do
Seen the withdrawals from the medicine we use
What the mixture of adrenaline and a weapon’ll do
So I stay solo, music is my home
I don’t need help, I can do this on my own
[Chorus 2: Lala]
Drive through the
Streets I love
I got no-
Where to go
I’m tryin’ to
Live my life
Blinded by
Sight of city lights
