The City Lyrics by Homeward Bound

Whatever You Do, Don’t Panic

2019

[Chorus: Goji]
Grew up in the city, never had much
Mama taught us love
And so we have more than enough
But the city done changed me
From a good child, to a bad one
Caught up
I bring it right back [?], hold up
[Verse 1: Jimblah]
You see, I moved to the city as a kid
With a pocket full of heaven and some Martin Luther King
Daddy used to drag us to church like straight off at the mission
Hymns to forgive, gospel, listen
[?] buggin’, big brother on the scope
Lined up in the crosshairs, welcome to the big smoke
Finished year 7, graduated to them high hopes
East side fam got me [?]
[?] uh, I can make you bump, though
On the wire hangin’ like sneakers, dope
Fast cars wrap telephone poles
Shout out to the ones that we never gettin’ back
Press put my name on the map, ayo, I got what you need, [?]
Spread my wings, fam, lookin’ at the stars
In the night sky buggin’ on the city skyline
Damn, I forgot where I came from [?]
[Chorus: Goji]
Grew up in the city, never had much
Mama taught us love
And so we have more than enough
But the city done changed me
From a good child, to a bad one
Caught up
I bring it right back [?] came from, hold up
[Verse 2: Jimblah]
Post up with a little bit of [?] cracks in the [?]
I rose through the basement, [?] graduation
I’m runnin’ on that black time never make class, fam
Learnin’ how to act right
Hangin’ with some lost souls, puffin’ on a [?]
Trips up north just to get my money nice
See I never f-in’ with a scheme of a white European
So why the fuck would I wanna try and be a [?] passin’
I remember clearly the moment
A blunt to the head focus, losin' count
Of the days and the weekdays
Trippin’ in the hallways, caught up with a court case
Told about my grandma, she black all day
Made me what I am, fam, that’s straight
So fuck anybody tryna front [?]
Talk about relocate where you came to the days where I
[Chorus: Goji, Jimblah]
Grew up in the city, never had much
Mama taught us love
And so we have more than enough
But the city done changed me
From a good child
I’m caught up
I bring it right back [?], hold up (Hold up)
[Verse 3: Jimblah]
Let me pave my way like veins
Through the city where the roads take us, for the record
In the hallways where you aspired to put your name up
The kingdom come, cuz, majestic as fuck
[?] stars in the night sky, maybe then
You can get my name right, city on my back now
Globe on my heart, cosmos on the [?]
Let ‘em know where I came from, [?]
[Outro: Goji & Jimblah]
Grew up in the city, never had much
