Rhymes in the City Lyrics by Young Rhyme

2019

[Intro]
\nYo, yo, yo, yo
\nA-Metro did it
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThis shit got me shell shocked, feelin' fucked up inside (Fucked up inside)
\nHard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
\nI can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
\nI put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
\nI'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
\nWhere I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
\nStraight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
\nCan't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie
\n
\n[Verse 1]
\nYou can't show too much love, they get greedy, that’s the truth (Greedy, that’s the truth)
\nSame niggas that don’t care, now they sayin' don’t leave me (Don’t leave me)
\nFor my homies, I wrote this shit in blood, you see me (You see me)
\nAin't no goin' back, they crossed the line, fuck a treaty (Fuck a treaty)
\nPhone on airplane mode, I’m too high, you can't reach me (Can't reach me)
\nToo busy chasin' dreams, my grind is never sleepy (Never sleepy)
\nCatch us at the awards, like, “Look, mama, I’m on TV” (On TV)
\nJust tryna leave my mark, like I’m Pac or Weezy (Pac or Weezy)
\nI can see it in your eyes, girl, you probably need me (Need me)
\nBut it's mad bitches out here, what can you teach me? (Teach me)
\nAre you gon' ride or say fuck me when it ain't easy? (Ain't easy)
\nIt’s always the ones you least expect, swear this shit gets greasy
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThis shit got me shell shocked, feelin' fucked up inside (Fucked up inside)
\nHard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
\nI can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
\nI put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
\nI'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
\nWhere I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
\nStraight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
\nCan't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nMy little homies some demons, quick to let it spark (Let it spark)
\nWe was shorties on the block, never playin’ at the park (Never playin’ at the park)
\nGranny said, "Whatever you do, just play it smart" (Play it smart)
\nI keep getting tatted up, coverin' all the scars (All the scars)
\nJust tryna shine and fight my way up out the dark (Out the dark)
\nWe kings in this bitch, royalty is what we are (What we are)
\nI’m chasin' all my dreams, man, I'm destined to go far (Go far)
\nThinkin' big, if you want it, gotta live large (Live large)
\nTryna see my name up on them Billboard charts (Billboard charts)
\nWalk up in the studio, put my soul in every bar (Every bar)
\nWhole team gotta eat, we fillin' up the shopping cart (Shopping cart)
\nYou can't grab a plate if you weren’t here from the start
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nThis shit got me shell shocked, feelin' fucked up inside (Fucked up inside)
\nHard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
\nI can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
\nI put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
\nI'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
\nWhere I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
\nStraight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
\nCan't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie\n\n
