I'm from the land of the sun, home of a million and one
Cultures that drum to different rhythms, but we share the same tongue
I call it home, some call it escape
When I roam I always retrace, when left alone she misses my face
Holds the memories I thought I erased
'Cause they're embedded in the clouds, they come down when it rains
Halfway between the city and the country, between a shade and a sun beam
Part-timers and drug kings
All tryna hustle, trying to put some heavy muscle
Behind everything aspiration every hope every dreams
Can't let the city crush you, everyone will try to touch you
When you flip your situation and non-believers believe
Yeah, and non-believers believe (y'all believe that)
Yeah, and non-believers believe
Can't let the city crush you, everyone will try to touch you

And I'm in tune with it, the city's heart beats slow
I can feel it 'cause the streets got a concrete pulse
Watch my feet grow roots I stand so solidly
Buildings keep growing like time-lapsed photography
Scrape the sky, scratch Heavens belly
Come to the city of God and catch seven deadly sins
It's like chaos with electric heat
And dead at night, the city lights give me restless sleep
Pardon me, it's hard to be
Within arms reach of where you really think you ought to be
Tryna be at the top, part of me wants to stop
Curiosity killed the cat, ignorance ate him alive
So I'm going to keep wondering why till the day that I die
But I'm staying alive, that's my echo in these city walls
Ringing forever, or at least until these buildings fall

Cuban princess, Mr. Business
Mrs. Gets Rich Quick on lottery tickets
Those out kicking, those out copping
Those living under bridges smoking rocks and
Non-stopping, pop locking
Corporate kiss ass on the search for stock options
Ravers, clubbers, hip-hop lovers
Forced underground 'cause we ain't trendy this summer
Runners, readers, leaders, believers
Teachers yelling out freedom for seekers
City made of secrets, walls made of silence
Sun comes down, traffic starts piling
