Rhymes in the City lyrics

[Intro]
Yo, yo, yo, yo
A-Metro did it

[Chorus]
This sh*t got me shell shocked, feelin' f*cked up inside (f*cked up inside)
Hard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
I can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
I put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
I'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
Where I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
Straight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
Can't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie

[Verse 1]
You can't show too much love, they get greedy, that’s the truth (Greedy, that’s the truth)
Same n*ggas that don’t care, now they sayin' don’t leave me (Don’t leave me)
For my homies, I wrote this sh*t in blood, you see me (You see me)
Ain't no goin' back, they crossed the line, f*ck a treaty (f*ck a treaty)
Phone on airplane mode, I’m too high, you can't reach me (Can't reach me)
Too busy chasin' dreams, my grind is never sleepy (Never sleepy)
Catch us at the awards, like, “Look, mama, I’m on TV” (On TV)
Just tryna leave my mark, like I’m Pac or Weezy (Pac or Weezy)
I can see it in your eyes, girl, you probably need me (Need me)
But it's mad b*tches out here, what can you teach me? (Teach me)
Are you gon' ride or say f*ck me when it ain't easy? (Ain't easy)
It’s always the ones you least expect, swear this sh*t gets greasy
[Chorus]
This sh*t got me shell shocked, feelin' f*cked up inside (f*cked up inside)
Hard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
I can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
I put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
I'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
Where I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
Straight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
Can't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie

[Verse 2]
My little homies some demons, quick to let it spark (Let it spark)
We was shorties on the block, never playin’ at the park (Never playin’ at the park)
Granny said, "Whatever you do, just play it smart" (Play it smart)
I keep getting tatted up, coverin' all the scars (All the scars)
Just tryna shine and fight my way up out the dark (Out the dark)
We kings in this b*tch, royalty is what we are (What we are)
I’m chasin' all my dreams, man, I'm destined to go far (Go far)
Thinkin' big, if you want it, gotta live large (Live large)
Tryna see my name up on them Billboard charts (Billboard charts)
Walk up in the studio, put my soul in every bar (Every bar)
Whole team gotta eat, we fillin' up the shopping cart (Shopping cart)
You can't grab a plate if you weren’t here from the start

[Chorus]
This sh*t got me shell shocked, feelin' f*cked up inside (f*cked up inside)
Hard to talk about the pain I try to hide (Try to hide)
I can’t even look my mama dead in the eyes (Dead in the eyes)
I put you through hell, and I swear I apologize (I apologize)
I'm cashin' checks, hope this money stops the crying (Stops the crying)
Where I'm from, they only love you when you die (When you die)
Straight from the trenches, we just fightin' to survive (To survive)
Can't be another victim, man, these streets don't lie
