City of Gold Lyrics by Espiquet

Smoke Silence

2014

All the emotions buried six feet deep
Promises you broke I knew you'd never keep
Yeahbut it's alright, new places with new faces
Pack your bags and suitcases cause I'm in a twist like show laces
Alright. They says tlhat good times bring all the great memories
I cut the need and kinda make friends with all my enemies
I love them all, wish there could be 100 me's
To see you smile I would swim across the seven seas
But here I am let mie show them
Haven't really seen a person live life with half of him
Here I am and here I stand with what I've seen
What really kinda makes a Biggs smile is where he's been
Even if it hurts I won't let it show. Because I've been through these feelings mine times before
Momma told me to be strong and let it go.I looses up
My grip and brightness turns to glow.. Yeah brightness turns to glow
They doubting me over here they don't even know
I left home with a tear. I'm tryna conquer my fear but it's
Mad chilled. Every thing healing slow
Hommies tell me that I'm missing out. I moved down to the South
Moving out on things that will make me grow
I pray it never fades, hot blades in the snow
But yo. I'm tryna be optimistic, every broken heart I'm tryna find a wat to fix it
Every dirty word I'm tryna find a wat to rinse it
Just face the brand new and maybe not the consequences
Yeah you don't get it. You hate but you don't get it
Which is all good since you never had to do it. I'm through it so screw it, make it extra right
Keepthem shades on cause my future looking bright
Flow so sharp never touch, cut your wrist
All these crazy bitches bending over like a fist
Your shit is getting old. Botox and face lifts. What goes comes around like rings and bracelet
Ohk,please don't take it personal. Bad situations I just like to think I'm learning though
Write my thoughts on a paper that I cannot fold. Jump off a rainbow, pray that I land on a pot of gold
*Sizzle!!*
Verse 2 (Espiquet)
Life isn't what it seems to me, I never really sleep cause my realities are dreams to me
And mental pictures,little voices saying cheese to me
Here I'm tryna see just what my special lady sees in me
Is she tripping, is she really mine. You can never trust a
Womanthat is smiling all the time
Because everyone has feelings, everyone has emotions but shenever really shows em, but
I guess that's the motion
When you're living in a city familiar with every resident
Almost like the valley of Ashes I means it's evident
The city is bleeding from inside, I'm the president
Where lies are the power supply, they are the element
But we conform and we hardly ever complain
And we think we're pretty cool cause Gold is in our name
And these pretty girls will do anything just for fame
But success is not a luxury everyone will attain
Cause everyones not the same, we walk in different pains
Left the city of gold and met a dame, I was blown away, so much
I forgot to get a name
So what's your name girl, tell me what's your name girl
Because back home niggas messing with the same girls
And I'm just saying consequences are to blame girl
I live in city where everybody plays the game girl
But it either makes you or it breaks you and it's making me
A littleflower blossoming don't care how long it's taking me
I'm the original. You other niggas faking me
Mistaking me, cause not even your eart hquake is shaking me
The city old
