Some How Lyrics by Purpose

If the City Had a Voice

0

[Intro]
[?]
“Ma-make it-make it outta this grind ‘fore I’m outta my mind”
Yeah

[Verse 1]
I’m from a city where you grow up quick
And there’s certain people you just don’t fuck with (true)
You ride to the end with those you grow up with
‘Cause the kids in the street, they on some grown up shit, uh
It’s every man for himself, I live by that (yeah)
Even though I don’t understand it that well
It’s all about how you carry yourself
All I know is that you better keep them goddamn hands to yourself
Shit, we all gonna die sooner or later
So we all do what we gotta do just to make it
You see it evеryday in the news and the papеr
Disaster, crisis, people losin’ their way
But we gotta keep on keepin’ on
Even if we ain’t sure whose shoulder it is we leanin’ on
Gotta keep ridin’ ‘til the wheels fall off
‘Til the engine burn out and the paint’s peelin’ off, so

[Chorus]
I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me
Said I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me, one more time, yeah
Said I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me, yeah
“Make it outta this grind” (Ay) “Make it outta this grind” (Ay)
“Make it outta this grind ‘fore I’m outta my mind” (Ay, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Yo, I can’t keep livin’ this way
Fist full o’ change, barely above the minimum wage
Feelin’ the pressure like I got a kid on the way
But if I’ma die tomorrow, I’ma live for today
And I won’t give up the chase, kid, simple and plain
I’ve seen harder times that are still with me today
Driftin’ away on a bed of flickerin’ flames
I gotta sort it all before I fall victim to fate
It’s chippin’ away at every little bit of my faith
I give and I take, but, shit, it ain’t enough, I’m slippin’ away
Tilted a boat, skin peelin’ away
I watch by the window, I sit and I wait
For a better day, (yeah) me ballin’ out, centre stage
No more time, clock in, fight for a steady wage
I’ma rise up, get these records played
Keep my head together, never let myself get led astray
Gotta keep puttin’ one foot in front o’ the other
Concentrate on my family and put nothin’ above ‘em
Give ‘em a call, let ‘em know that I care
I might be gone for now, but I ain’t goin’ nowhere, yeah
Mind open, eyes closed for the prayer
Lord, spare my family, I hope that you’re there
And if you’re not and I’m just wastin’ my time
Then I’ma make the world take notice of what I say in my rhyme, c’mon

[Chorus]
I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me
Said I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me, one more time, yeah
Said I’ma make it outta here if it kills me
Raise ya fist if ya feel me, yeah
“Make it outta this grind” (Ay) “Make it outta this grind” (Ay)
“Make it outta this grind ‘fore I’m outta my mind” (Ay, yeah)

[Outro]
If the city had a voice, this is what it’d sound like
