The City

I came to the city tryna chase my dreams My dreams turned to nightmares and now they're chasing me It's humbling, cause don't nobody know my name Or even care to find out who I am, it's such a dirty game I wonder, will it take me under? My whole future's riding on this summer If I fall, I'll lose it all. the sun don't shine, it just wants me sunburnt But even when it sets, them bright lights The ones that everybody said would be my nightlights They haunt me and taunt me and draw me out into this nightlife But everything here is a lie, cause these bottles just are not mine And these women aren't here for me, but everybody's here to shine But if we're all celebrities then why are we Chasing after hollow dreams, why can't we just let it be I don't have the patience to be faking anymore though Cause I don't have the money to be buying out these stores so Why try? men lie, women lie, both buy So why not make them spend on this broke guy But the music goes slow and the coke flies, and I've realized The city is killing me, oh The city is killing me, oh The city is killing me, oh The city is killing me, oh But I can't do a thing But I can't do a thing But let it Kill me Wide awake, can't even blink Red bull and vodka, vomit in the sink I can't tell if I've been here for a year or An eternity but I forgot what I was here for Why? am I so damn high? Could have touched the sky but I forgot to try Cause I've been on that promethazine Lean, codeine so hard like I want to die And this city really isn't what it seems Because out of all my dreams, all that's left now is the screams New York, oh New York It is kill, killing me
