Anderson .Paak - The City lyrics

Venice, California
Known then as "Venice: Slum by the Sea"

There's no need to wear these
Shades when I drive
I need to see the leap before the stride
There's so much more that can happen
I'm sure that you can imagine
I live around here, let me show
You how to walk it, stop the traffic
(Say, say) them two legs will get you
Right for action with
Good brain that get you all the answers
That get you all the cash and fashion
Just bat your lashes and

Tell me where you wanna go
But, I don't really think that
It could get much better
The city I love, city I love, city I love
You tellin' me you wanna break
Free, I bet you never, bet you never

Powder your nose, love
Smoke if you want to (yeah)
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl
It's all for you
(Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you)

(Go, go, go oh
Ah) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go oh, ah) Tell me where you
Wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you, Go, go, oh oh
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go oh, go) Tell me where you
Wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you, Go, ah, go-go
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go)
(Oh, ah, go-go, ah) Tell me where you wanna
Go (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you)
(Go, go, go-go, ah) Tell me where you wanna
Go, oh (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you, Ah, go, go-go, go
Ah) Just do tell me where you wanna go
(It's all for you)

So when you're living the dream
Is it hard to see? Does
Your heart beat heavenly?
I think it's much more than the green
Leaf but it helps of course
There's only one season
Can you believe the way that
They talk about my paradise?
We don't need that kind of vibe, no, no

Don't tell me where you're from, girl
Tell me where you wanna get to
The city I love, city I love, city I love
You wanna break free on me, I bet you never
Bet you never

Powder your nose, love
Smoke if you want to (yeah)
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl
It's all for you

Don't tell me where you're from, girl
Tell me where you wanna get to
Put your feet in the water
The city belongs to you, girl
It's all for you (Go, go, go oh, go, tell
Me where you wanna go, it's all for you)

(Go, go, go oh
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go oh, go) Tell me where you
Wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you, Go, go, oh oh
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go)
(Go, go, go-go, go) Tell me where you wanna
Go (Tell me where you wanna go
It's all for you, Go, go, go-go
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go, Go, go, go-go
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go, Go, go, go-go
Go) Tell me where you wanna go
(Tell me where you wanna go oh)
(Go) Tell me where you wanna go
